[QUOTE="Arrowhawk, post: 5740613, member: 6679551"] [b]Your DM is technically correct.[/b] I hate to burst your bubble, but I believe your DM friend is correct. Here's why.. 1) Poison are considered [I]extraordinary [/I]abilities. Here is what the SRD says: [INDENT]Although supernatural and spell-like poisons are possible, poisonous effects are almost always extraordinary.[/INDENT] 2) Here's what the PHB says about Extraordinary abilities: [INDENT]Indeed, extraordinary abilities [B]do not qualify as magical[/B], though they may break the laws of physics.[/INDENT] 3) Ergo, you have immunity to non-magical poisons. The name "Venom" in this case is probably chosen for accuracy as well as theme. 4) The Monk Diamond Body offers immunity to "poisons of all kinds." Technically this is the same immunity that the Druid has. No where does it explicitly state the monk has immunity to non-magical poisons. However, one could argue that "poisons of all kinds" is broader than "all kinds of poisons." But that is not a compelling argument. As a DM, if the Paladin ability specifically mentions magical, then the absence of those words would require I limit the Monk and Druid to Extraordinary poisons only. [/QUOTE]
