I'm working on a character with a chemical gland. The gland is an aerosol type with a contact vector poison. Here's the problem: The venom gland can produce any NATURAL venom and those are pretty limited in M&M.
I made a search on the internet for several types of contact poisons and Irritants but I want something fast acting and not-quite lethal. (say M damage code with something akin to pepper-punch side effect) Jellyfish, man-O-war, Sea Wasp and spitting cobra comes to mind but only the spitting cobra seems to have an actual contact vector (eyes) and cause no damage on the skin whatsoever. Does anyone have any suggestion on natural toxins and poisons that only need contact with the skin to have an effective effect? And what would a limited damage code be? What possible side effects and modifiers would apply for the one affected? Any ideas, links etc? |
