Given the inherent nature of pentobarbital as a "suicide drug", it is obviously a med to avoid swallowing, unless the [[Contestant|contestant]] is willing to suicide.

Upon consumption, pentobarbital ~~may kill the user with~~ 50% ~~chances~~. If the substance does not manage to kill, it provides no other effect. As such, it may be misleading, as one may mistake the substance for [[Placebo|placebo]] and may wish to get rid of all of them by swallowing them, which is a dangerous tactic.

Upon consumption, pentobarbital has a 50% chance of killing its user. If the substance does not manage to kill, it provides no other effect. As such, it may be misleading, as one may mistake the substance for [[Placebo|placebo]] and may wish to get rid of all of them by swallowing them, which is a dangerous tactic.

~~Alternatively~~, ~~pentobarbital~~ can be used offensively and may be fed to willing [[Encounters|encounters]]. ~~Although the 50% chance of killing~~ is ~~largely unreliable to be used as a surefire method of killing medically an opponent ([[Cyanide]]~~ is ~~a better candidate~~)~~, it may~~ be ~~worthy to try in a pinch~~.

However, the chance to kill do stack. In other words, they increase to 100% if two are administered at the same time, therefore securing death. Contestants may find such drugs to be useless for personal consumption, but they can be used offensively and may be fed to willing (and unwitting) [[Encounters|encounters]], or otherwise administered to other creatures in one way or another in order to "euthanize" them.

Pentobarbital is extremely fast-acting, and there is no antidote. Any creature ingesting the drug and passing the death check (or swallowing 2 or more at once) will be instantly killed.

Being a '''blue pill''', it is strongly required the drug is kept until the contestant finds a [[Hospital room|medic]] or a [[Peaceful scientist|peaceful scientist]] to [[Identification|identify]] the pill, as it shares its appearance with [[Amphetamines|amphetamines]], [[Steroids|steroids]], and a form of [[Placebo|placebo]].
