Anti-Laser Prismatic Aerosol Grenades (Kitsune):
These grenades are a bit like smoke grenades in that they do no real damage but instead they create a cloud of prismatic crystals. The crystals are in a dust like state and the crystals do causes eye and lung irritation. In these cases, the person has a penalty of -5 to strike, parry, and dodge. Any protective gear that protects eyes, nose, and mouth will prevent these effects. Vision through the cloud is only slightly impaired much like looking through light to moderate fog. All lasers fired through or into the cloud have their damage reduced by half and their ranges are reduced by half as well. Variable frequency lasers cannot be set to compensate for the Prismatic Aerosol because there are too many random factors. Ion weapons, Plasma weapons, particle beams all use a laser to ionize a path through atmosphere before the actual beam is fired. Because of this, the Aerosol will reduce the weapons ranges in an atmosphere by 25% but not in a vacuum. The Aerosol does not work in space but will work in enclosed spaces even if no atmosphere is present.
Area of Effect: Effects a 20 foot (6 meters) radius with a height of 10 feet (3 meters)
Duration: 2D4 Minutes
Maximum Effective Range: About 40 meters when thrown or by grenade launcher type

Silver Injecting Projectile (Kitsune):
This weapon is designed to be used in low velocity launchers such as a grenade launcher or in a bow. This weapon is designed to be used against opponents that are especially vulnerable to silver weapons. The projectile flies like a dart and the variant launched from a grenade launchers has fins that extend once launched to stabilize the projectile. The projectile is tipped with a reinforced silver needle. When it hits a target, it injects a fine silver powder suspended in a jell. This weapon inflicts damage direct to hit points to creatures specifically effected by silver. As well, the creatures regeneration of the damage is greatly reduced. If the creature heal damage per melee (15 seconds) the regeneration becomes for every 15 minute period. If the creature heals damage per minute, it becomes her hour. If the creature heals per hour, it becomes per day. This weapon has no special effect to creatures not vulnerable to silver. The dust is too small for vampires to use turning to mist to lose the dust. It can also be imbedded into the heart of a vampire like normal silver weapons.
Damage: 6D6 Hit Points or MDC to creatures vulnerable to silver (With reduced regeneration as well)
Black Market/Market Cost: 1,000 credits each
Silver Pump Pistol Cartridges (Kitsune):
This is a special projectile for the Triax pump pistol and weapons that use the same cartridge. The weapon carries a high explosive warhead but instead of an alloy casing, the rounds casing is silver. When it hits the target, it fragments into silver shards into the target. The round is effective against creatures that are vulnerable to silver weapons including vampires and werewolves. When used against a vampire, it reduces rolled needed for called shots to the heart by two.
Damage: 2D6 MDC to normal targets and 8D6 Hit Points or MDC to creatures vulnerable to silver
Black Market/Market Cost: 800 credits per round.
Anti-Vampire Missiles (Kitsune):
These missile warheads are basically modified fragmentation warheads. The steel warhead casing is replaced by a silver sheet covered wood casing. Because the warhead is mostly wood, it is less expensive than might be expected. It has the standard explosive of a fragmentation warhead. When the missile explodes, it throws shards of wood all over the blast radius and inflicts heavy damage against vampires. Roll a die 20 for every vampire within the blast radius. Any strike of a natural 18 to 20 means that a shard travels into the heart of the vampire. Roll multiple times for multiple missile strikes. Range and all other information is the same as normal fragmentation missiles. See revised missile table for more details.
