Handling Gas Bombs in combat

[Skarg]

Makes sense it would be easier to escape the edges than the middle hex, but if you make the edges only 3/DX, gas bombs become much less effective than they are at 4/DX.

It also occurs to me that if gas clouds get entire groups of people to stop fighting and move out of the MH where they land, then no-effect gas bombs would have some value and might be for sale, just to get people to jump (and/or to maybe get some people to stop jumping - then you hit them with the effective one ;-) ).

Combine that with the 'lose your next action' and that kind of dodge can become quite the trouble. If you are in the center of the gas you might need to make a 5/DX roll to escape.
