Re: mental illusion

 

Drugs like that usually use the "vs CON" limitation for -1. They act against DCV, not ECV.

5thER, p.120, Based on Con, -1. The mental power works against CON, not EGO. It is targeted vs DCV, not ECV, and takes normal range modifiers. It acts against PD or ED, not Mental Defense. It has a range of 5x Active Point Cost.

 

So, you might make the drug something like "Hallucinatory Gas". That would look like this:

Cost Powers END

30 Hallucinatory Gas Pellets: Mental Illusions 12d6, Area Of Effect (One Hex; +½), No Normal Defense ([standard]; Defense is appropriate Life Support or target holds breath; +1) (150 Active Points); Based on CON (Defense: PD; -1), No Conscious Control (Only Effects cannot be controlled; Character does not control what illusions target sees; -1), 4 Charges (-1), OAF (Gas Gun; -1)
