Message: <blockquote data-quote="coyote6" data-source="post: 4850695" data-attributes="member: 1225">I think the "frequency" entry describes how frequently they have to save; so this looks like it requires a save every round for 10 rounds, with each failed save dealing 1 Con damage. The "cure 1 save" seems like it means that once you make 1 save, you've shaken off the poison and don't have to save any more. So, this poison seems to effectively be like 4e's "save ends" -- except that it's a 3e-style Fort save, DC 19, rather than a "roll 10+" 4e-style save.Other poisons can have different "cure" conditions, I imagine -- like "3 saves" or maybe even "get antidote". I like it. More flexible than regular 3e poisons, letting you both duplicate existing poisons (frequency 1 minute, with 2 saves), make up some truly nasty poisons (e.g., something with a high number of saves required to cure), and make up some of those "you've been poisoned and have 48 hours to find the cure" so beloved of fiction.I wonder how multiple exposures work -- if Joe Cleric gets bit 3 times in succession, is he rolling 3 saves per round? That could get painful, fast, for poisons with "cure 3 saves" or the like.</blockquote>
