Grapefruit make excellent missile weapons. They're not hard enough to do physical damage. They're environmentally friendly (biodegradable, and may even feed the wildlife in the proper areas. They're fairly cheap if you have access to a grapefruit farm. You can hit a guy in the eyes with the juice and ruin his day without much risk of permanent damage. In extremely dire situations you can survive by eating your ammunition.

I'm surprised there aren't more grapefruit launchers in use today. :)

If a GM allows a phobia of grapefruit, thats not a very good GM. On the other hand if you're going for a SR parody, then have at it. :rotfl:

We considered phobias in our campaign. A few players were making new characters and I gave them some options for traits. However, I find phobia to be one of the top ways to get free build points.

Do you know how many of my players took a fear of grapefruit? Grapefruit launchers tend to be a lot more common in my game now.

Wll, uh..... Thats why everything has to go through the GM for final checking before it is completed. And a fear of grapefruit is a bit different than a fear of astral projection.....

And their first campaign could be in rural or suburban Texas CAS, protecting a grapefruit farm/small agricorp from repeated attacks and intrigue. :grinbig:

Have them paid in product. :evil:

Your in a local grocery store. This one must be expensive because it has real non-soy food. The Johnson wanted to meet here and discuss the job on Coms as he shopped.

unfortunately the Krakens, a local gang trying to make a name for themselves followed you here. The same ones one of the characters mouthed off to last week, Shot, and is currently wearing his Cool Jacket.

They just ignore the screaming MAD Scanners as they open fire on you all.

One Ganger lays down suppressive fire, destroying the citrus stand between the groups, juice goes flying everywhere. Some of it is Grapefruit.

Grapefruit Phobia Munchkin is splattered. If it is severe enough phobia he must make a composure test to act. If he can act he must now make another composure test to move from his spot across the grapefuit splattered floor.

Runner with Cool Jacket realizes that anyone with Cool Jacket that is not a Kraken is a prime target. Rips off Cool Jacket and throws it away. In his panic he does not realize that he threw it at Grapefruit phobia guy.

Jacket lands on floor next to grapefruit phobia guy. Grapefruit phobia guy sees a way to get off of Grapefruit covered floor, fails Composure roll.

Nobody asks for silly phobias again.
