Not to nitpick but it would actually average 36 not 31.

I agree with you right up until that last line. There is nothing magic about a sneak attack with a (nonmagical) blowgun.

The hit point system is ridiculous. I haven't seen a combat system that is realistic AND simple in regards to damage.
I heard of a story where a character fell over a 70' cliff with 5 arrows sticking in him. After the fall, he jumped up and ran away.
Another in a modern game. A character took a shot to the back of the head at point blank range with a 50 caliber gun. It knocked him out. A few minutes later, he regained consciousness and saved the party.
Or, how about the character that was snatched by a dragon. The dragon was killed a few minutes later in aerial combat while still holding the character. They plummeted a few hundred feet to the ground. With less than 5 hp left, he ran over to the cleric for healing.
Here we go.
A 20th level rogue scores a critical hit and shoots a 20th level fighter in the eyeball with a blowgun for 62 points of damage. The fight chases him down and slices him up.
A first level rogue shoots a 1st level wizard in the leg with a blowgun for 7 points of damage. The wizard collapses and bleeds to death.

From 20', I can sink a blowgun needle far enough into a dartboard that I have a hard time pulling it back out again without a leatherman, and I haven't really practiced with it much.
Now, I can't do it *accurately*, and granted that D&D blowguns probably aren't accurately machine-made and perfectly straight like the one I used, but I'm also lacking the BAB of a level 20 rogue.
The point being, it doesn't seem completely beyond the realm of possibility to me that you could do some serious damage with a blowgun needle.
