Eventually, poison becomes a non-factor; high-level characters reach a point where they can only fail their Fort. save on a natural 1. The rest of the time, it doesn't bother them at all save for a few poisons with high DCs, and even then, really high level characters won't be bothered by them either.So I was thinking on what to do, and I considered poison in real life. It seems to me (and I fully admit I have no knowledge on this subject - I am speculating) that when a person is poisoned it doesn't matter how healthy, or how tough they are - they are still affected in some way. Obviously, different poisons do different things to different people depending on the circumstances but as far as I can tell, no-one ever resists a poison so completley that it does nothing to them at all, unlike the D&D system.So how is this for a simple fix? A successful Fort save halves the damage done. Now, I understand that ups the power level since what used to do 0 con damage on a save now does 1d6/2 or what have you and non-damaging poisons that deal paralysis or unconsciousness have to be altered as well but generally speaking is it a good startWhat do you think?J from Three Haligonians</blockquote>
