[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 6768617, member: 463"] I had to deal with this issue since my party started fighting Neo-Nerathi Assassins (the MM Assassin stats) with the potential to take multiple hits off them for godawful amounts of damage. And most recently a PC (Rogue, Assassin archetype) just recovered a poisoned +1 rapier off one of them. Research indicates they are using Wyvern poison from the DMG, the MM Wyvern poison sting has the same effect too. One-use seems underpowered, infinite use definitely overpowered. I ruled it had initially [B]three[/B] uses on the rapier blade tip, and that the assassin's special scabbard kept the poison fresh until use. Given that the PC is also an Assassin I reckon he can use it safely & maintain it until use. Hopefully Jeremy Crawford will follow my sensible compromise. :D [/QUOTE]
