[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6591854, member: 7006"] One way to approach it is to determine who it was that created the horn. Was it a dwarf? Was it someone else besides a dwarf? If it wasn't a dwarf, then I'd say it grants Advantage on poison saves (and possibly Resistance to poison damage). The theory being that the non-dwarf person who made the item saw exactly the kind of endurance and stamina dwarves had when drinking and other related alcohol contests/events, and wanted to find a way at the very least to match them. Thus the item doesn't need to be something dwarves could use, because the item was specifically designed by a non-dwarf to bring them on par with the dwarves when it comes to drinking. Now, if this was an item that a dwarf DID design and create... then obviously it has to be better than what a dwarf already has in relation to alcohol and/or poison. Otherwise, there'd be no reason for the dwarf to make it. So in this instance... the most obvious choice for a dwarven-created horn would be Immunity to poison altogether, as that's the next step up for dwarves. Now, if that seems too powerful for too many people that aren't dwarves, then the final option is to step-up the bonus. The horn grants Resistance to poison damage and Advantage to poison saves, but if the drinker already has Resistance to poison saves, then it grants poison Immunity instead. That way it gives a bonus to all characters regardless of who they are. [/QUOTE]
