Amnesia Drug

[Armitage]

If you have a Major Transform that induces amnesia, do you need Based on ECV if the special effect is a drug that physically prevents the brain from accessing the memories and it could be resisted by someone with a strong enough physiology, i.e. BODY higher than the Transform damage?

Yes — if the Transform affects a character mentally (by, for example, removing memories), it has to be a Mental Transform with BOECV. A GM could certainly rule otherwise, of course, but that’s the basic rule. I’ll probably discuss this more in THE ULTIMATE MENTALIST.
