First Post
This is the draft idea I am going with for poisons.
Gone is the two save for poisons, and in comes a bit more deadly version.
I will be also using my drug affects to have the poisons do more than just ability damage, like blur vision or make the creatures balance bad, or even low will saves for the other ability the creature might have.
Thoughts?
------------------------
have given poisons my changes. Only one example so far.
Thoughts
basically they will be like drugs for making, but you need to cut the poison out of the animal and thus surgery is also required for those types.
POISONS
Poisons come in a variety of types. They can have some weird affects on a creature and some can kill.
Duration and Affect
Initially a save is made after the duration has expired, as some poisons take longer to affect the creature that some others.
Affect Period
Poisons tend to have long lasting affects on a creature and continue to cause damage to them over a period of time. Each time the affect period is reached a new FORT save is required or damage will occur from the poison.
Strength and Save
All poisons have a strength, this modifies the creatures FORT save thus it can make it harder to withstand the poisons affects. The FORT save modifier is always one step lower than the strength of the poison, thus a 1 strength poison has a 0 FORT modifier, whilst a 20 strength poison has a FORT save modifier of -19
The base save for all poisons is a FORT DC 10.
Neutralising the Poison
Poison neutraliser, if used, decreases the strength of the poison by 1 step for each 1 unit of neutraliser used. When the strength reaches 0 strength the poison has been completely removed from the creatures system.
The FORT save of the poison is adjusted as using the neutraliser reduces the poison’s strength.
Treat Injury
The DC required varies with the strength of the poison. As the FORT save increases so does the ability to treat it get harder. The DC increases at the rate of +1DC for two strength points of the poison, rounded down.
The base Treat Injury DC is 15.
Handling Poisons
It is hazardous to handle poisons, thus extreme precautions are normal used.
Storing the poisons also requires normal a cooled room and airtight containers, or the poisons tend to lose effectiveness over time.
