Spell LV to kick poison's ass?

[Beholder Bob]

Ok - a spell that gives a +5 bonus to poison saves for 10 minutes per level would be a what level spell?

Are you sure?





Because a non-magic draught of anti-toxin lasts for 1 hour and costs 50 GP.

If you thought this was equal to a 1st level spell, then you can make a non-magic version at 1/3 the cost, no xp, or make the potion for 1/2 the cost and spend xp. Perhaps this anti-toxin is a bit too good.

Can I get an amen?

I thin that it is because people get poisoned quite often, so if you make it to expensive no one will live.

If the duration was brief, or it only modified the 2nd save of poison, that would be great. But, since most adventures are forays into danger for a few hours, a group could adventure while under the effects of this drink far too easily. +5 saves - poison becomes a non-issue in most cases. At 3rd level (about the time PCs can afford to use it as their drink of choice), poison would effect the players 10-30% of the time (oh jeez, look, a dozen monstrous spiders, lets grapple 'em!).

If a player wanted to make a spell to provide a save mod against poison at 10 minutes per level - what level would that spell be?

Uh - ok, maybe its me.

Is the general consensus that this 50 GP item is not overpowered? That the save mod is a weak 1st level spell at best?

I am weighed down by ennui!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

How can folks sleep at night?

How can everyone resist the urge to jump up and down when discussing my geek issues?

Silence is an answer!

Well damn. I thought it would be equal to a 2nd level spell (roughly equal to delay poison), so 1 hr/lv, or 300 GP for a potion that lasts 3 hours.

If it was a 1st lv spell, then 50 gp to buy. (still 25 gp to make vs 17 gp to craft it).

Oh well.
