Ambiguously Gendered Revenge of "What is the Hivemind?"

[HellHound]

Ooh, like posions that cause insanity?

Mostly poisons aimed at debilitating psionic foes.

 

[Knight Otu]

I disagree. Dark chocolate -- that's the stuff.

White chocolate!

Mostly poisons aimed at debilitating psionic foes.

Oh, so posions that prevent psionic abilities from being used?

I'm reminded of Chrono Trigger now.

 

[Jdvn1]

White chocolate!

Dark chocolate!

And the high percentage stuff. At least 70% chocolate. You want white chocolate, put a hershey's kiss in a glass of milk.

Stuff like this:

Devourer Ichor

Type: Injury / Ingested
DC: 20 / 22
Initial Damage: 1d2 Con, Loss of Psionic Focus
Secondary Damage: 1d2 Con, 1d8 Int, Loss of Manifesting Ability
Market Price: 2,690 gp
Craft DC: 37

This venomous extract from the brain of an intellect devourer is difficult to harvest and expensive, even though the majority of its effects are wasted on non-psionic targets. The ichor can be processed into several forms, all of which are debilitating to manifesters, but also painful and befuddling. The poison causes a massive headache in most victims, as well as internal damage and bleeding, dizziness and nosebleeds. In manifesters, those who fail the save against the initial 1d2 Con damage also find they cannot establish or maintain psionic focus for the next minute. Those who fail the save against the secondary damage of 1d2 Con and 1d8 Int damage lose all psionic manifesting abilities for 2d6 minutes.



Isolation Fluid

This liquid was developed specifically for the containment of psionic entities and creatures. A brilliant translucent blue, the fluid was intended to be administered directly to the captive by suspending the victim in a solution of the poison and water. This is particularly useful when dealing with aboleths and other undersea psionic creatures, but administering it in a spray format to other psionically aware creatures works just as well. Isolation fluid has almost no noticeable effects except a mild intoxication in non-psionic creatures, but prevents all forms of psionic manifestation for 24 hours after administration in all but the most potent of psionic creatures.

Type: Contact
DC: 30
Initial Damage: 1d2 Wis
Secondary Damage: Loss of Manifesting Ability
Market Price: 3,600 gp
Craft DC: 40

 

[Kemrain]

Ambiguousness then!

It's far too late to go back now. You're too set in your ways. Your 'Ity' cannot be replaced with my 'ness'.

They can all go together, can't they? At least, I thought the first was made with the third.

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'.

I disagree. Dark chocolate -- that's the stuff.

Your tongue is dead to me.

There's something amiss in the state of Denmark. No, Rystil! No!

I'm not touching this one...

What about the Eagles?

Get out of my house.

My first D&D character was a Fighter. Cool dude. You can understand why I might be biased.

I take back what I said about Bias earlier.

Thank you, Kemraglo.

i shouldn't have cappedanything in that line, should I?

I apologize for your negative levels, but how else am I supposed to defeat Devilish?

Silver! Duh...

Are they necessarily artificial?

Yes.

Maybe not, but Bill Cosby is.

Not according to Stewie.

No! I heart Koalas. And black/spirit bears. And Mongooses.

I'm not touching this one, either.

Maybe. What's it to you?

<shrug>

But you can't echange perversion and EN World for supplies that will allow you to sustain life. Normally.

Emphasis mine!

I celebrate the small successes.

I'd ask if you were compensating for something, but I think I have that backwards...

How is it not fair? There's no rulebook that says I can't.

No rulebook? What about this one I have here, written with a sharpie on a postit note?! Whay do you say to that?!

- Jdvn1 the Completer.

Is there a parrot in here?

- Kemrain the Even More Completer.

 

[Jdvn1]

Hm, very neat. A watergun with the Isolation Fluid would be nasty.

 

[HellHound]

One of the goals is to provide poisons with much higher DCs than in the DMG for higher level play, but I'm also doing a full spectrum including lower-powered ones...

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.

*Lasair looks at the poisons and gasps*

"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.
