El Agente Irritante (Smokebomb Cero) [Finished]

» Cero Name: El Agente Irritante
» Cero Type: Multi-usable

» Used By: This Cero is easily learned from any other user of this Cero.

» Used For: This Cero is often used for its effective defensive capability and to deescalate a fight. However, it may be used to ambush or interrupt others attacks.

» Effects: This Cero is gathered in an unstable fashion in at least one limb, then flung as if throwing a ball or other small, round object. Its energy is not coherent and it will explode in a fairly wide range upon any contact with any solid object. It expands rapidly as a difficult-to-see-through smoke that causes a stinging sensation in the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. This Cero lasts for 3 posts, including the post in which it is launched, and its stinging sensations last for one post after exposure. It does no damage.

The ability to resist the stinging sensation depends on the Will skills of those exposed. If the Willpower, Pain Endurance, or Focus of the exposed person is equal to or higher than the Cero/Bala power of the user, then the effects can be powered through and last only as long as the resisting person remains within the cloud. Also, once expanded, this Cero can be manipulated like a normal smoke. This includes being blown away by wind or blocked with any force field.

Because this Cero does no damage and can be thrown while still unstable, it can be used once a turn. However, subsequent uses of this Cero are progressively weaker, and every subsequent use of this Cero decreases the Will skills needed to resist by one tier.

» Notes:
This is commonly used by weaker hollow in order to escape other hollow. However, stronger, more predatory hollow have been known to use it as a hunting tactic.
