Evil Patch Idea: each color of DSM grants its normal positive extrinsic but also a negative extrinsic (fumbling, restful sleep, aggravate monster, etc.) Which negative goes with which color is randomized at game start. |
16:34 |
< | Jubilex | | > |
Or you could make it as a incentive to use the worse DSMs |
16:38 |

I guess you could add things like stormbringeritis |
