So on my way back to work from Starbucks a few months back, I had an idea. In Shadowrun, it's altogether likely that they've perfected travel mugs to the point where very little heat would be transferred through the mug itself, allowing a rather unique weapon for office infiltrations. Say you have a decently large stainless steel travel mug filled with coffee or other liquid at or very near the boiling point. You wander around in the office, looking pretty normal, and if anyone stops you you throw the contents in their face or some other vulnerable part. How much damage should it do? Physical or stun? Special effects?
Also, how much should a travel mug capable of keeping liquid near-boiling for extended periods of time cost? It would presumably have a top, but the top would have to be easily removable. ~J |
