A high enough level rogue gets a hold of an improved invisibility potion. uses his skill sneaks in to a private home pours the poison in a sleeping person bedside wine glass and then slips out and is far away when the person wakes up and drinks it. Sure a spellcaster could cast a deadly spell but for most of them he has to be inline of sight and he has to make noise. He is more likely to get caught.And anyone can use poison you don't have to be trained. So your wife and mistress can use it to do you in. My point is that in civilized areas you can justify having a weapon for self protection since magic is real mages have magic available and until a spell is cast no one really knows what spell they have memorized. But what is the justification of having a deadly poison other then to commit murder? That is why I can see a city making it illegal to have it. Of course there are ways around it just like today maybe the poison is a naturally growing plant or in small doses it has a medicinal purpose. But I have no problem seeing a city outlawing the sale of deadly substances.</blockquote>
