I'd propose to add Craft (poisonmaking) to the list of craft skills. It uses a gp base, not a cp base as for normal craft, so I'm not sure how this would affect our not-quite-well-documented-craft rules.

Edit: Reason---I am thinking about a poison using second character.

I thought that was standard rules?

There are no standard rules for crafting poisons in the SRD. There is also an excellent Class Acts in the most recent Dragon that adds onto the rules presented in Complete Adventurer.

Nope, not standard. No SRD (or DMG/PHB) rules for making poisons---only using them (not even prices for buying IIRC).

I'll ping this again to hopefully get a vote.

I'm waiting on other judges to at least comment on it...

There are prestige classes that gain the ability to handle poisons without risking poisoning themselves. Would Craft(poisonmaking) not carry any risks?

Crafting it does not say anything about risk of use, only creating. So, in theory you could create it but have a risk of using it (which is small IIRC anyway).

Perils of Using Poison

A character has a 5% chance of exposing himself to a poison whenever he applies it to a weapon or otherwise readies it for use. Additionally, a character who rolls a natural 1 on an attack roll with a poisoned weapon must make a DC 15 Reflex save or accidentally poison himself with the weapon.

I don't know a flat 5% is pretty hefty I think. Perhaps incorporating that into the craft check for this skill (fail on a 1 and you have to make the reflex save).
