Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 5452720" data-attributes="member: 57383">So just default to the standard Heal checks to treat poison, then?If I understand things right, the current proposal might look something like:Poison #1:  Gonyaulax produce a cloud of poison, any  creature in the water that  occupies the same 5 ft. square as a  Gonyaulax is exposed to its poison. Gonyaulax poison—Contact/inhaled   poison, Fort DC 6, initial damage 1 Dex, secondary damage 1 Dex. If the poison reduces a victim's Dexterity to 0 the victim starts to suffocate and must make Constitution checks every round to avoid drowning (DC 10 plus 1 per round). The  save DC is Constitution-based and includes a -4 racial  penalty. Poison:  Gonyaulax swarms produce a cloud of poison, any creature  in the water  within 30 ft. of a Gonyaulax swarm is exposed to its  poison. Gonyaulax swarm poison—Contact/inhaled   poison, Fort DC 12, initial damage 1d6 Dex, secondary damage 1d6 Dex.  If the poison reduces a victim's Dexterity to 0 the victim starts to  suffocate and must make Constitution checks every round to avoid  drowning (DC 10 plus 1 per round). The  save DC is Constitution-based  and includes a -4 racial  penalty. Hmm, maybe it would work better to modify the rules for Slow Suffocation. I'd change the 1d6 per 15 minutes to 1d6 per minute:Poison:  Gonyaulax produce a cloud of poison, any  creature in the water that  occupies the same 5 ft. square as a  Gonyaulax is exposed to its poison. Gonyaulax poison—Contact/inhaled   poison, Fort DC 6, initial damage 1 Dex, secondary damage 1. If the  poison reduces a victim's Dexterity to 0 the victim starts to die from slow suffocation, taking 1d6 nonlethal damage every minute, characters who fall unconscious drop to -1 hit points and are dying, then suffocate to death the next round. The  save DC is Constitution-based and includes a -4  racial  penalty. The Gonyaulax swarm poison is the same except its 1d6/1d6 damage Dex with DC12.</blockquote>
