[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 5922031, member: 63508"] The problem is poison should not be common. It should be a corner case that a few monsters and classes employ. Dwarves are an oddball race. They are dwarves. They are 4 and a half feet tall but weight more than humans. They can live over 100 years easy and commonly go up to 200 years. They can wear armor like regular clothes. I remember all the lore about dwarves resisting poison in older edition and they failed poison saves ALL THE TIME! Dwarven poison resistance is a joke in older edition. An utter joke. What is the point of poison resistance if if fails so often and barely does jack squat. Makes sense. Red dragons and demons can use fire spells willy nilly as they are immune. Dwarves can break poison by spamming poison attacks... doesnt work on undead, demons, devils, angels, elementals, and other dwarves though. You might have to houserule as you use poison a lot. The base assumption is low-moderate use of poisons. Only rogues, assassins, and poisonous monsters use them often. --- Somewhere in an alternate parallel universe. The Dog Universe. Someone is upset that Humans have chocolate immunity and not +10 to chocolate saves. I haven't failed a chocolate save yet, baby. :cool: Mmmmm... immunity. Suck on that, dogs. ;) [/QUOTE]
