Adrenaline Spike

Adrenaline Spike is a status effect that can be activated by the High Adrenaline trait, or by the Adrenaline Pump CBM. Characters with this trait acquire this status for 200 turns (20 minutes) once a hit reduces their head HP below 25 or their torso HP below 15 (it doesn't stack). Also artifact activation may give it for 200-250 turns.

800 movement points are given immediately at the status' beginning.

While the effects' duration is longer than 150 (Adrenaline Rush), the character's speed is increased by 40, strength by 5, dexterity by 3, perception by 1, and intelligence is decreased by 8. During the last 15 minutes of the effect, the character will lose 300 movement points and begin to suffer from penalties (Adrenaline Comedown), which are speed decreased by 10, strength decreased by 2, and other stats decreased by 1.

Adrenaline effects can be detected by Blood Analysis and removed by Blood Filter bionics.
