Poison Questions

[daveyak]

I have a Level 3 Drow Executioner
I have a std at will attack called poisonous shuriken that allows me to target
1,2 or 3 creatures at range 10
I can also deliver an assassins poison with this attack, however one of my poisons is ungol dust and it say's it is a ranged 5
when using poison does it have a reduced range other than what my weapon used for delivery has?

Ugol dust isn't a poison you put on a weapon. Its like a vial or a flask that you throw at the enemy. Using ungol dust is a standard action that includes an attack. So you would use the poison as its own attack, and not part of another attack.

Thank you, My son noticed this yesterday when I used poisonous shuriken with poison the amount of damage it dealt was enormous and seemed unbalanced, I have to say it would be nice to be able to combine the effects though.

Our DM at encounters has let me combine the effects on several occassions, I will make sure to use it by itself next time.
