I am currently writing a new character and have enlisted the community's help once again in editing and modifying the character.

Anyways, I was reading up on a drug, Crimson Orchid, that I've decided to make my character moderately addicted to. One of the side effects of the magical drug is a modifier of -3 to reaction. Since initiative is determined by reaction+intuition i was wondering if this drug when then, consequently lower the characters initiative by 3. So instead of rolling a 10DP for initiative he would be rolling a 7DP dependent on when the drug is in effect. Am i right?
In other words I know Crimson Orchid lowers your characters reaction by 3 but does it affect the derived initiative? It would make sense if it did, just clarifying.
