That's the part I'm not clear about. Would someone need both inhalation and contact protection in order to get any protection?
There's no rules for partial bonuses, and the question I recently find myself asking when this topic comes up - how would you treat drugs with multiple vectors? Deepweed has an obvious modern day equivalent, and while I'm not well versed on the methods of recreational use, I don't think you can smoke and eat a single dose at the same time.

There are numerous delivery methods for drugs and toxins. To limit potential delivery to the available vectors, and operating vector to the delivery in use, may not always make sense - but it's a lot lighter on house rules.

It is not pepper spray as we know it, it is a chemical that causes burning on contact, plus nasty orifice pain.
If you don't think Real Life pepper spray burns your skin on contact then can I please spray you with some   ;)
The description is quite accurate for today's Pepper Sprays.

Come on people. This thread got necro'd from 2013. No need to respond to any of the original people; I doubt that most of them are active.

ROFL it is rather humorous to watch though.

But but some of the new questions being raised are somewhat retentive...

I think I'm now collecting a nice old collection of anti-group nades it pepper them with, being hugely annoying, but not outright fatal.

Gas Grenades w/ Pepper Punch
Paint Grenades w/ Hold Fast Adhesive Spray
Paint Grenades w/ Ultra-Glide Industrial Lubricant

I'm especially looking forward to my players chasing after someone who drops a few of the last to get away.  ;D

I could have sworn that we had covered this recently... can't seem to find it though.

Anyway:

Paint Grenades w/ Narcoject + DMSO
Paint Grenades w/ Dread + DMSO
Flashbangs

Also, unless your players have started the whole nuclear war thing, I wouldn't recommend loading your enemies with a bunch of 'nades. They quickly break the game and neutralize people. Players overusing 'nades can quite literally go through 100s of enemies without taking a scratch. It's the same way with enemies and 'nades.

Our table has a rule that if you breathe in a contact vector toxin, you are affected, even if there is no mention of inhalation.

Also, just an idea... Can I pack two different substances into gas grenade? Say, Neurostun and IR smoke?

Well, yeah. Table rules are table rules. I'd hold off on that until the character is snorting the substance through a hollow credstick.

Whether anyone leans either way, I think that one comes down to another table rule.

Not by RAW. If you want to houserule it, sure.

I'd just hit them with 2 different grenades, after all, its not going to affect till end of the round anyway.
Pepper Punch + CS Gas is going mess up everyone in the area when they go off together.

With how high armour values can go compared to weapon damage I usually give my medium and light TRT`s CS gas Pepper punch and sometimes barrier foam grenades. Though depending on the area and security in question, narcoject darts and neurostun grenades will show up.

This was brought up a while ago but if you need crowd control, DMSO and horse laxitive, vector of your choice.
