Deep weed smoke grenades/mortars, The 4th ed mages friend? Options

[masterofm]

Ok well I was doing some thinking and since you can't actually nail someone on the astral unless the creature is dual natured, or is astrally perceiving then wouldn't a way to totally bone adepts is to hit them with a deep weed smoke grenade/mortar? One would think these types of grenades/mortars would be hot items for a mage to get their hands on. It destroys someone's perception pool, and allows spirits and mages to just wail on them from a distance. That or quickly swoop in and out, since astral movement is insane.

Everyone starts tripping, and are now totally screwed. Now besides hitting someone with a deep weed grenade wouldn't it also remove bonuses like from a smart link, and some vision mods? Are hearing mods still effective? It just makes me cringe, because it would probably make anything a mundane would normally do that much harder. Also deep weed grenades + drones at that point would also = win. So.... no astral perception skill and your defaulting on what? Yeah that roto drone eats you alive.... oh yeah and good luck trying to dodge.
