Mist Projector

=Description

A device looking like a cluster of twisted metal tubes that projects a cone of icy mist in a fat cloud about ten feet across. The mist looks like thick white fog and is intensely cold. The mist does 1D10 points of damage per round of exposure, less one point if the targets are dressed in warm clothing or three points for thick, arctic clothing. Hiding inside a car affords four points of protection, however the mist freezes automobile engines, running or not, and the car will not start or restart until it warms up. The weapon’s projection can be sustained—mi-go generally spray mist over a target for several rounds, ensuring the death of unprotected humans.

An investigator can figure out how to use this weapon with a successful INT roll. Because the mist travels much more slowly than a bullet, investigators who have seen mist projectors in action and who have freedom of movement (i.e. they are not caught in an enclosed space), can dodge the slow-moving mist streams with a successful DEX roll.

The weapons carry enough charge for twenty shots, each potentially lasting an entire combat round.
