Poison Rules

Applying poison to a weapon requires a Specialist Kit and a Standard Turn. There is a 2-in-6 chance this depletes the poison. There is also a 2-in-6 chance that each use of the weapon depletes the applied poison.

Spend 1 day to get a 2-in-6 chance to extract poison from a poisonous slain creature.

Each poison allows a save to avoid the effect and usually only applies to living creatures approximately human-sized or less.
