Tranquilizer Gun	Special	Ranges: short (under 20 yards) no penalty, medium (under 100 yards), long (up to 300 yards). A typical dose of tranquilizer is a narcotic poison with Strength 6. Each success level in the poison roll reduces the victim's Strength by one; if reduced to zero, the victim falls unconscious for one hour. Vampires and some supernatural beings recover faster; reduce unconsciousness time by 10 minutes per Constitution level to a minimum of 10 minutes.
