Marking Powder Cannon
This swivel-mounted cannon sprays a glowing powder that strips hidden creatures of cover and marks them for the whole party to see.
The fine spray dispersed by a marking powder cannon outlines beasts that evade sight. This weapon was developed against creatures that use brush to hide their approach, but its application has spread to include underwater creatures and nighttime predators. The spray is an oil that shimmers orange, making it an excellent camouflage breaker. It is also used to mark targets, if multiple creatures are expected to approach simultaneously.
Aim 2 60 feet, minimum distance 30 feet
Load 2 (Manipulate) 2 times
Launch 1 (Attack, Manipulate, range increment 100 feet) 10- foot burst, DC 19 Reflex. Creatures who fail the saving throw are coated with marking fluid, which glows with dim orange light out to 10 feet for 1 hour or until the fluid is washed off. In addition, on a failed save creatures that were Undetected become Hidden and affected creatures that were hidden become Concealed. An Invisible creature that fails its save has its invisibility negated for 2 rounds, during which time it is concealed instead of invisible. Affected creatures take a -2 penalty to Stealth checks to Hide and Sneak for as long as they are coated with marking fluid.
