Buffout (Fallout 3)

Buffout  is a chem in Fallout 3.

Background
Buffout is a highly advanced steroid that was popularized before the Great War by professional athletes and their clandestine use of the drug.

Characteristics
Buffout is a consumable performance enhancing drug that boosts both Strength and Endurance, in addition to a health increase of 60 HP. After about ten minutes the chem wears off and you will lose 60 HP from your current total; if you have less than 60 HP when it wears off, your total health will be reduced to 1. Addiction can occur and can only be removed by a visit to a doctor or by using the detox function at My First Laboratory, if the Lone Wanderer has purchased it for their house. It carries a 10% Addiction rate.

Locations
Although many vendors will have one or two doses, significant quantities of Buffout are sold by:
 * Doc Hoff
 * Cindy Cantelli
 * Ahzrukhal
 * Leo Stahl

 * If you attempt to use the status tab to heal yourself, you can't gain the extra 60 HP afforded by the chem. However, if you use stimpaks or other healing items in the inventory-aid panel, you can gain the full 60 HP.
 * If you take a buffout and then use stimpaks you can use infinitely waste your stimpak since after the original health+ the 60hp you will stay there.
