[OBE] Poisoncraft: Codex Venenorum 4e

[Justin D. Jacobson]

From the OBE Product Page:

The Codex Venenorum — a venomous tome of poisoncraft from the quill of master poisoncrafter Nylson Veld — has long been sought by those who wish to work their subtle and deadly arts upon the unsuspecting. It is an outlaw tome, penned by a pragmatic poisoner whose decades of experience have yielded a lethal harvest.

Bringing the principles of poisoncraft to Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition, the Codex contains detailed poison creation rules and over eighty sample poisons for use at any level, from the vile hopemelter to the subtle blue deception. Whether practicing mortal politics in the halls of power, or wielding an assassin's blade on the battlefield, the Codex is your poisoned path to victory.

And already a 6-star ultrashort review from Jack99! Man, that guy is fast!

Seriously, it's poison galore, and if you like to use poisons and are tired of just ongoing 5 or 10 damage and never get to "tick" more than once, this PDF is simply a must have.

EDIT: I have now posted the index of poisons on our site as a free download in a sortable Excel spreadsheet and as a pdf sorted by level. I should note that the spreadsheet includes all of the mechanical info necessary to use the poison in a game. I also added a peek at one of the poisons from the book and some more info on the upcoming Poisoncraft books.

That's what my wife keeps saying!

No seriously, I got it early via your One Bad Egg bookshelf, so I had it last week already

Now is there going to be a compiled Poisoncraft book at some later date?

Not sure if I understand the question exactly, but I'll say that I am planning to do two more books, one for Player Options and one for DM Options. When that gets completed, we might do a POD print version combining all three texts (plus Syrallax). We'll see. Print is something OBE has always had on the distant radar but, so far, not had any drive to get done.

Is that what you were looking for?

Pretty much.
