-==== CHEMICAL, MUSCLE RELAXANT ====
-Rather than a solid slug, the projectile is an injector dart designed to deliver a dose of broad-range muscle relaxants. The projectile has half the normal range increment for the weapon and deals only 1d3 points of damage. If this penetrates the target's DR, the dart injects the target with muscle relaxant, dealing 1d4+1 points of Dexterity damage. The target can make a DC 14 Fortitude save to reduce the ability damage by half.
-  * **Restrictions:** Ballistic weapons and ammunition only
-  * **Purchase DC Modifier:** +4
