Pepper spray resistance

If a character is attacked with pepper spray in the eyes, and shows no effect or reaction to it

What hax resistance would this give to him?
 
Interestingly, even the wiki isn't sure what to classify pepper spray as. I've seen it be classified as wildly different things, ranging from Status Effect Inducement, to even acid/fragrance manipulation. If it isn't fully explained why they aren't affected by it, I'd probably just list it as some form of pain tolerance in the stamina section

Classifying it as acid manipulation is just straight up wrong. It doesn't even contain acid. Capsaicin is actually a base which is the exact opposite.
 
It's the same as tear gas and similar non-lethal chemicals.
On my own, I began listing them as Poison, similarly to how we rate as such the resistance to alcohol and drugs.
A chemical compound that is harmful to humans, even if not lethal, could still account as a form of poison.

I don't really like using status effect aside from videogame settings, unlike there are specific reasons to compare a given condition to what we imagine as "status effect".
