For nothing other than roleplay reasons I plan on having my character start as some sort of a drug addict. We start next week and I thought that a first level rogue with some sort of substance abuse issue (that he will eventually overcome) would be fun to play, even if possibly detrimental starting off. Are there any officially-sourced lists of drugs available? I haven't bothered with a Google search yet because I figured that maybe at some point in the future others on this forum might be curious as well and find this topic.

A brief backstory: My character is a 25 year old human male, Rogue 1, who was conscripted into an army and is being used as a spy. He absolutely hates his conscription and had a substance abuse problem before this started. Now he is in the thick of things and trying to maintain his habit. Suggestions?

basic drug rules are explained in book of vile darkness. they work more or less like poisons, but they give you a buff as well. the eberron books dragonmarked, sharn city of towers, and city of stormreach have some drugs in there too.

have fun!

Pathfinder has a bunch of drugs (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/afflictions/drugs/) as well as drug rules that are Open Content if your group doesn't have BoVD (or do5n't like the evil connotations.)
