=== CHEMICAL, MUSCLE RELAXANT ===
Rather than a solid slug, the projectile is an injector dart designed to deliver a dose of broad-range muscle relaxants.

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 am-munition only.
**Purchase DC Modifier:** +4.
