With all the talk of current SOTA stuff like the XM8 I thought I would highlight the wackier stuff.
http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1245741.html I recon all thats possible by 2064 so who would actually inflict this on their players? |

I have no problem with chemtech like some of those presented, though I restrict it to similar legality and such of the heavier chemicals found in Man and Machine. For effects, I generally treat it like a spell of a force equivalent to rating in terms of power and area affect on a quantitative scale. The more extreme should be more rare than naval weapons, but YMMV.

That gay chemical introduces an interesting political-moral dilemma. Normally it's the democrats who are scared silly of accidentally bombing civilians, but with that stuff, it might just be the other way around.

I wonder if it comes in pink misslies or if the helicopters sparying it play 'Its Raining Men' over loud speakers.

Ahhh... but you are making war with them, while they are busy making love to each other.

I was thinking they planned on using the weapon to demoralize Muslim nations, not just armies. Funny though, now any time they find a gay Muslim you know who they'll blame, right? Can you say "Pin the tail on the Great Satan"?

Now I have this idea for an SR movie stuck in my head:
2 drag-queens and a transexual buy an old missile truck on the black market, from some nice swedish student and trek it across the outback singing ABBA songs only to fire the above mentioned weapon at some unsuspecting monument in Australia. |

On the other hand, one should remember the Theban sacred band, one of the most elite units in the ancient world:
500 pairs of homosexuals, one with a big shield, one with a spear. Worked on the "I won't run away where my lover can see me" principle. So that weapon might backfire a bit. Sadly trucks don't get into runt otherwise we could re-play a battle in the Crusades... Birdy |

The idea of distracting people with something else so that they won't attack you is a good one.... why not just drop lots of Prozak? And pipe in fascinating reality TV shows? That's how we pacify our own nation, so it seems to work.

Do you deny that it is an awesome idea? *Wanders off singing "It's Raining Men"* Halitosis-weapon could be used to identify Shadowrunners. ~J |

The one for having the skin be sensitive to sunlight is easy. Just give them high doses of Dioxycyclene (with DMSO, I suppose). It's an antibiotic with the side effect of sunlight sensitivity (some more than others, it's extremely powerful on me.)
