the head renders the character immediately unconscious for 1 D3
rounds.

1 D6 + 3 damage for 3 combat rounds.
The hit body part is fully paralyzed. The effects are the same as for the

Description:

Floaters are not only really disgusting looking creatures, their poison is what makes them really fearsome. Horror stories of trapper groups, that have barely survived contact with just a single floater are numerous in the wasteland. Floater poison is strong and especially strongly paralyzing.

Description:

FEV, the Forced Evolutionary Virus, that turned humans into super-mutants and other lifeforms into numerous other, horrendous lifeforms, was refined by scientists of the Enclave. Their goal, which they reached, was to make it into a poison that would kill any lifeform that was even slightly mutated. What they didn’t consider was, that with very few exceptions, like humans that were still living in unopened Vaults, basically all humans and all other, surviving lifeforms are at least slightly mutated.
