[QUOTE="grimslade, post: 5914122, member: 6061"] I thought ability damage worked well. Shadows doing Str damage. Poison inflicting Con. I can see poisons focusing on different abilities. Spider venom draining Dex until immobilized. But the default of damaging Con seems fair. I like the thought of the effect happening later on. Adventure focused design makes this a real possibility although poison wielding BBEG will be of the immediate poison damage breed. This makes the 4E disease track a better method. 3saves or 5 saves depending on severity. Stage 1 envenomation minor damage 1-3 hp damage Fail Save | Make Save ^ V. l Stage 2 Primary Reaction Bigger damage die/ Slow/ Dazed Fail Save |. Make Save ^ Stage 3 Payload. Multiple dice damage/ Paralyisis/ Unconcious But the saves need to be serious, not auto saves. Not auto fails either but a threat. Then you could have magical poisons with specific triggers. A poison for wizards that only triggers when they use a divination spell or ritual. A poison for an ill king that triggers when his medicine is administered. [/QUOTE]
