Ahhh!!

Poisons applied to a weapon last for 3 rounds.

Bee poison applies constitution damage, Centipede is intelligence damage and Scorpion is strength damage.

The strength determines the DC.


Edit: or read above lol

Poisons are a good thing to use whether PVP or not.....all you have to do is...'Pick your poison'......

[Igaryu]

Mmh I am probably someday gonna get everyone to hate me, but really a good thing to use? If these poisons last only 3 rounds they seem pretty useless;) I mean apply it directly attack the opponent and hope to hit once at least in the next 3 rounds to HOPEFULLY get 1-2 attribute damage? That for an item that costs between not sure anymore but like 40-100 gold?

Could be neat against castingclasses to lower their useable spells maybe with the centipede poison but even that seems a bit hard.

Suggesting to get the poison to last a game hour maybe;)? Could be too long but 3 rounds is rediculously short.

The logical thing would be for poison to work like Hideous Blow, where it lasts pretty much forever but only until the first hit.

Still wouldn't be very useful due to the measly effects, however.

[Igaryu]

Good Idea, maybe one could let it last until it hit like 3 - 5 times or so?

[adzling]

the simplest thing to do would be just extend it's duration.
so it last's say 5 rounds instead of 3.
don't forget that you could hit multiple times in a round...

[hnefi]

Does poison stack with itself though?

[adzling]

no, per those links above the already applied poison remains and the new one is ignored.

[broham2]

What I think he is asking is, if I hit someone 3 times in one round, does it do the 1d2 damage for each hit?

If so, I dont know what the complaining is about. With 3 attacks per round at 1d2 ability damage, it wouldnt take long to take someone down a notch or two...

[adzling]

hmm dont know the answer to that one.

[DM mithari]

It should work that way, yes (with a separate save rolled against each instance of the poison, of course). Which is probably a reason why such effects tend to have relatively low DCs.

[Igaryu]

Mmh I am not sure wasnt it like that, that if you hit someone with poison he gets poisoned and then he has to make checks every so and so much time and as soon as he suceeds one the attribute damage stops? And if he doesnt get a save he slowly keeps loosing Attribute points?

I found this interesting site about poison in D&D:http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Poisons#Table:_Poisons

[hnefi]

No, you get a save when the poison is applied and then again one minute later. If you fail a save, the damage is applied. Of course, what happens one minute after the first hit in combat is pretty irrelevant.
