Game Notes: Using the hypnogazer requires several minutes to use, is an opposed skill check versus the target’s Perception or willpower, and has a difficulty number based on the suggestion. Moderate difficulty to suggest slight, momentary misperceptions, minor changes to distant memories, or the target doesn’t care one way or another. Difficult to suggest moderate, long term misperceptions, significant changes to distant memories, or the target disagrees with the suggestion. Very difficult suggestions significant, long term changes to memories less than a day old, or if the target strongly digress with the suggestion. If the initial attempt to use the hypnogazer fails no further attempts may be made on that target for the rest of the scene.
Background: A form of medical device that can place a being into a hypnotic state, allowing a doctor or law enforcement agent to question them. Many bounty hunters managed to obtain hypnogazers on the black market, and use them to compel other beings to do their bidding. Animals or beings with semi translucent eyelids or some other form of protection could not be influenced by such a device and are considered to be immune to it with said eyelid closed.
It is a circular device, about the size of an average Human’s palm. The part which victims were hypnotized by was a set of nine equally sized very bright small lights. One was placed in the center while the others surrounded it. The lights on the outer ring rotated in a clockwise motion.
