Elemental Attack (Radiation)

ELEMENTAL ATTACK (RADIATION)
Type: P Action: Complex
Range: Special Duration: Instant

This attack follows the rules for Elemental Attack (p. 396, CRB) but causes radiation elemental damage, which results in radiation burns, radiation poisoning, and other serious side effects.

Radiation damage is treated as Physical damage and ignores Armor; however, the affected character may add the rating of a hazmat suit or other radiation-resistant gear when making a Damage Resistance Test against radiation damage. Radiation poisoning may also cause nausea (p. 409, CRB), headaches, blindness, or other central nervous system impairments (per gamemaster’s discretion).
