Apply primary 1 point at a time, one round at a time with a save to negate each point, starting the round after the poison is injected.3. Apply secondary damage 1 point at a time, one round at a time, with a save to negate each point.If a single stage does two types of damage, apply the smaller effect simultaeneously with the last steps of the larger effect. ie - if it's 1d3 wis, 1d2 int, roll both. Wis comes up 3, int comes up 2, so failed saves in subsequent rounds result inround 1: -1 wisround 2: -1 wis, -1 intround 3: -1 wis, -1 intif wis had rolled a 1, we'd have ended up withround 1: -1 intround 2: -1 int, -1 wisA save is required to negate each point to each stat.If a poison's effect is an instant thing like unconsciousness or paralysation, then you should probably pick a stat for it to do a large amount (3d6) of damage to, wisdom, dex, strength, charisma or intelligence. Also, have such damage clear up at the rate of 1 point per minute of rest instead of 1 point per day. This lets you represent groggyness and the like upon waking, without having characters badly crippled for too long.</blockquote>
