Were these random additional effects discussed anywhere?

Sleeping gas? Foam?

Oh, in that way.
I thought of having more effects than just an explosion causing IB and death. I just had a stroll through the effects. Let me know what you think is inappropriate.

None of the additional effects other than maybe smoke seem appropriate.

From a logical standpoint...why would my PDA start spewing out foam? How? Where did it come from? Why would every NT Issued PDA come preloaded with a a small canister of sleeping gas? |

I thought about that when I was writing this. Since people wanted to have a tiny chance at an EMP, I figured PDAs don't have the materials to ever cause EMPs. If they somehow can cause EMPs, why not go all the way and include some neat unused effects. |

Wait no I can do it RIGHT NOW :O |

This looks tentatively good. |

I'm alright with it, not like we can't change it if we want. |
