Poisons Effects

Poisons Effects

Poison can refer to several things in the game each with slightly different rules for how they function. Collectively each of these things is a "poison effect".

• The poison call is made by some attacks.
• The blight call is made by some attacks and counts as a poison.
• Poisoned is a condition a character can get that prevents them from being healed. Not all poisons cause the poisoned condition.
• Goblin iron is a type of material items can be made out of that causes the poison call in combat.
• Blade poisons are poisons that are applied to weapons to improve their effectiveness in combat.
• Ingested poisons are poisons put in food or drink, they do not necessarily give the poison condition.
• Thrown poisons are consumable items that create tag bags to deliver special poison attacks. A throwing weapon made of goblin iron, or coated in blade poison is NOT a thrown poison.

Blade poisons, ingested poisons, and thrown poisons all require the herbalist skill to use. If a character attempts to use any of these types of alchemy compounds they fail to use the item successfully and suffer the effects as if the item were used on them.
