[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8411500, member: 2629"] Here is a quickie: a.) The slow poisons have a Starting DC. These are about 3 higher than you'd expect. At low level they might be 15 to 17. b.) The slow poison has a damage specified (like d8+4). c.)The slow poisons have a 'Cycle' length (which could be minutes, 10 minutes, hours, days or something else). When you reach a cycle period, you roll the saving through (usually Con) against the DC. If you succeed, the poison ends. If you fail, you: 1.) Take a level of exhaustion that can't be cured until the poison ends, 2.) You take the specified damage [I]and[/I] reduce your maximum hps by that amount. That reduction remains until you take a long rest after the poison ends. 3.) Reduce the DC of the poison by 1 for future saves. Removing the poison does not recover the body. You still have to rest to regain those HP, max HP and exhaustion levels. A medicine check that beats the DC of the slow poison gives you advantage on the saving throw. [/QUOTE]
