Welcome to the front, brother. Did you bring enough ammo for everyone?

 

[Justin D. Jacobson]

I think my ammo will suffice; I'm just hoping my flak jacket's strong enough.

Only if it has thermal proofing. Beware the flames!

Sounds interesting. Out of curiosity, how does it compare to Bastion Press' book Pale Designs: A Poisoner's Handbook? I see one difference in that you are offering a free form poison creation system, but what else does it offer?

 

[Justin D. Jacobson]

Well, for one thing, it's Complete.

On a serious note, the principal difference is that Pale Designs focuses more on the assassin's trade, whereas Poisoncraft covers poison in all its varous forms/uses. So, for example, the prestige classes in PD include classes like the Anarchist and the Sniper; whereas Poisoncraft gives you the Ki Corrupted (monks who can channel poison through their bodies) and the Venomous Changeling (druids who specialize in shapechanging into venomous creatures. There is surprisingly little overlap between the two.

Poisoncraft also is v3.5 compatible and has full conversion notes for Monte's AU system.
