Spraying Mace...

[Honken]

Hey o lords of GURPS knowledge.

Last session one of my players wanted to spray a foe to the face with Deodorant, for the sake of session flow I had him roll a simple DX roll to hit. I have earlier tried my search-fu in the books. I didn't find anything other then rules for tear gas. What I am looking for here is suggestions how, or a place where I can read about this.

TIA

Dirty Tricks are in the Basic Set. You might want to start there.

I once got in a fight with a guy who sprayed some kind of paint or oil in my eyes. I apparently won anyway, at least that seems to be the consensus. I think he wasn't expecting me to fight back at all.

Deodorant isn't going to be nearly as effective. Seems more like a Dirty Trick to me, causing Mental Stun and maybe a small penalty to vision for a few minutes.

Dunno, most spray deodorants say to flush your eyes with water for a long time, while calling a doctor. It's REALLY hard to see if that stuff is sprayed directly into the eyes.

I had a guy spray paint or some kind of thick black lubricant into my eyes, I did have to flush my eyes afterword and see a doctor. This didn't stop me from fighting back in the moment though.

If a can of deodorant that costs a couple of bucks was as affective as pepper spray that costs a lot more, nobody would use pepper spray and tear gas grenades would be filled with Old Spice.

As a teen, I killed a wasp with right guard.
It left a nice smelling corpse.

Okey, that is what i was looking for. As for the efficiency of deodorant, I think it can be quite nasty if you get it sprayed directly into your eyes.

As for a cloud of Deodorant, the only effect i can think of is -x on reaction rolls for cheap stuff. :P

Now wrestling the topic back from y'all, what attribute / Trait should i use for the roll in the future?

Kromm's suggestion of reversing the modifers and getting a straight HT roll.
