Sure, have them immune to some class of poisons, be that non-magical or poisons with a DC less than their Con score, but not immune to all poison ever.The suggestion of tiered skill checks, so that some can be bypassed through competence, is fine, though I think the current rule on auto-success based on the DC involved works well too. Also being able to auto-succeed on something a given number of times per day is acceptable - it becomes an interesting resource, but not something that can always ruin a challenge.</blockquote>
