Important point here what target number? It never says anywhere. Usually
it would be the power of the weapon but none is ever listed for the
Narcojet only a strength for the toxin. I usually gave it a power of 6 as
all of the other light pistols but this is never stated anywhere. Of
course in 3rd edition it could be handled by a simple dodge test except
this would assume that every needle that hit the target penetrated the
armor enough to inject the toxin and I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with
this as it would let you take down big paranormals with lots of armor
real easy this way.
