Item: Affliction Suppressant (Major)

Activate 1 (manipulate)

---

First created using the same principles as the antiplague and antivenom elixirs, an affliction suppressant is a broadly useful medicine, but sacrifices potency. It applies to a wide variety of afflictions, but lasts a much shorter time. Upon drinking an affliction suppressant, you gain a +4 item bonus to all saves against afflictions for 10 minutes.

Unlike with an antiplague, this suppressant isn't long-lasting enough to apply to a daily save against the progression of a disease, curse, or other long-lasting affliction. It can still help protect you from catching such an affliction when you're initially exposed to it, as well as on saves that occur after stages that last 10 minutes or less.

When you drink the affliction suppressant, you can attempt a save against one affliction of 14th level or lower affecting you. If you succeed, the affliction is suppressed for 10 minutes. The affliction's duration doesn't elapse during this time, but its symptoms are suppressed.
