Interesting possibilities for killing some nasty enemies, if you're a
vampire. Turn to mist form, make sure one of your enemies breaths part
of you in, and turn to physical form again. You'll need a shower of
course, but it's also hard to find fingerprints on the corpse :)

Doubtful that it'd work that way, Gurth. IIRC, the SR2 book stated that
if the vampire, while in mist form, ran out of time or was otherwise
forced to re-materialize in a space too small for him/her, they would
rematerialize in the closest available space that was big enough to
accomodate the vampire.

I just checked the power descriptions in both SRII and PAoE (which is the
most current), and neither gives any indication of what you mention. There
is no time limit either, in fact the only way you can force a mist formed
creature back to its physical form is to make it come in contact with
something it's allergic to.

@&$*#!! I hate it when that happens. I could swear that I saw that
*somewhere* and I *know* that it wasn't house rule around here . . . I
really don't know where I saw that <grumble> I really have to get a copy
of the friggin' manual:( Apparently, I didn't recall correctly. My
apologies.
