One of the reasons they stop off so low, I think, is because they start becoming save-or-die poisons and those are less fun.

Exactly - the trick is to do poisons with higher DCs, but not instant-kill effects. That makes poisons a risk at all levels of play as opposed to their current status of deadly up until mid levels, where the Fort-beast characters suddenly start laughing at them because they make the save 95% of the time.

"You're designing new poisons to kill psions? You're a mean mean man," she says sadly, manifesting Psionic Charm in an attempt to dissuade you.

As a huge fan of psionics, I feel that psions only gian from these weapons, as it makes DMs more likely to include specifically psionic foes and encounters.

I know, but my LEW Telepath doesn't have to like it :D

:D
Lasair, these compounds are designed to facilitate the capture and detainment of malign psionic manifesters. They are in no way designed to kill psions. Creatures that can be deadly while bound, gagged and all but unconscious are far too dangerous to have no means of safe, humane detainment. Really, it's for the good of society and the psions own good. Now, we needn't fear manifesters, as those unruly elements can be neutralized without lethal force.

It's far too late to go back now. You're too set in your ways. Your 'Ity' cannot be replaced with my 'ness'.
I'm an open-minded kind of guy!
Kemrain said:
Given that the second doesn't exist, and the third has little to do with the first, I'd have to go with a 'no'.
Reality is subjective. :p

Seven. That is all.

It's Shakespeare!
Kemrain said:
Get out of my house.
I don't think I'm in your house. Not a fan of the 80s, are we?
Kemrain said:
I take back what I said about Bias earlier.
Hm, sadly, I don't recall what you said earlier.
Kemrain said:
i shouldn't have cappedanything in that line, should I?
Caps are overrated.
Kemrain said:
Silver! Duh...
But I want both!
Kemrain said:
I don't think that's true, but.
Kemrain said:
Not according to Stewie.
It's worrying when you start listening to cartoon characters.
Kemrain said:
I'm not touching this one, either.
Bow-chicka-bow-bow! Um, no. Thank you.
Kemrain said:
Does that count as a response?
Kemrain said:
Emphasis mine!
Wha-- huh? What's it... huh?
Kemrain said:
I'd ask if you were compensating for something, but I think I have that backwards...
Not touching that one...
Kemrain said:
No rulebook? What about this one I have here, written with a sharpie on a postit note?! Whay do you say to that?!
Rulebook is not the same as rulepost-itnote. :p

Is there a parrot in here?
Can I have a cracker?

Wrong thread. ;)

Which is why I think these poisons are cool. I did that laughing thing too. We used to be like, "DC 28? Does a 43 pass?"

You see, Hellhound is trying to make more posions in order to challenge psions in order to have them level faster.

... Yes.

Y'know.. this is WAY too much work. We should make each of these a post, so we can keep up with Rysti.
