Description
Irritant can represent pepper spray, a skunk’s musk, an itching spell, or similar effect. Whether or not damage penetrated the target’s Armour Rating, the target must make an average (Target Number 12) Body Stat roll to resist, with no modifier (one assignment), a minor obstacle (two assignments) or major obstacle (three assignments) on the Stat roll. The Immutable Attribute (page 99) can provide a bonus to resist. Failure results in partial blindness or distraction, imposing a minor obstacle on all Stat and Skill rolls until the effects wear off after one minute or dramatic scene. Irritant is often taken in conjunction with the Toxic Limiter to simulate an attack against which a gas mask may offer protection. To design an attack that irritates the target without inflicting other types of damage, create an effective Level -1 Weapon. Multiple Irritant effects against the same victim are not cumulative. If combined with the Incurable Enhancement, Irritant lasts indefinitely until an appropriate cure is found.
