Matter Expulsion: Acid spray (minor) by Iczer

"heh. acid. It's the gift that keeps on Giving"

The character can create a variable form of corrosive fluid, that he can project like a high powered spray gun.

Range: As direct attack, 100 feet +10 feet per level. As wide angled spray 30 feet +5 feet per level.
Attacks: Each use of Matter expulsion: acid counts as one attack
Damage: Special.
Bonuses to hit: +3 with aimed, +1 wild.

As a normal attack, the character can inflict 1d6 per level of experience, which typically does half that damage one melee later, and half again a melee after that. As a spray, this damage is halved, but affects affects an area like a sawed off shotgun (Typically 12 feet across). Anyone targeted with a spray attack has a -4 to dodge.
This attack is awfully efficient at melting steel, stone and other 'inorganic' substances. Such items take an extra 3d6 damage if their AR is breached, or full normal damage otherwise. Additionally, as the acid tends to billow and make a small cloud of acid mist on contact, Natural AR's are reduced by 2 and worn armor (except fully environmental armor) is no defense at all.
