Liquids in the Face

This is one of the most common “dirty tricks.” Treat liquid tossed in
the face as a thrown weapon with Acc 1 and Max 3. Remember the -5
to target the face!
On a critical hit, the liquid gets in the victim’s eyes, blinding him for
1d seconds (the GM rolls secretly). On any other hit, the target may
defend normally – but note that it is impossible to parry a liquid. If he
fails to defend, he must make a Will roll to avoid flinching. On a failure,
he flinches: -2 to further defenses that turn, and -2 to any DX or Sense
roll on his next turn. On a success, the attack has no effect . . . unless
the victim has Bad Temper!
This assumes a relatively harmless substance, like beer. Acid, poison,
etc. have their usual effects.
An improvised garrote (almost any
piece of rope) gives -2 to skill. A wire
garrote must be equipped with han-
dles, or you will take thrust/cutting
damage to each hand!
