#724, "RE: From a poisoner"

That really is kind of weird. It would be nice to have at
least one poison that helps during ranking, and if it were
emetic the countryside would be littered in vomit. You can
never have enough vomit in the countryside. Maybe just a
simple 'envenom' or something that doesn't require ingredients
because noone wants to go through and redo a stack of those.

You can poison a pre-poisoned blade. For example, a fear poison
on a poisoned dagger can both 'normal' poison them and give
them the big freak out.

Really good point. I'd prefer the option of inhaled as a
method on emetic, but either way an adjustment there makes
sense. Of course between 1 & 2 you're talking about emetic
having all the delivery methods and that's probably not the
best idea.

What I'd really like are some pre-20 poisons available in
the Tar Valon and Eryn Galen Guilds (Hillcrest rules!).

On the flip side of things, 'Charge Weapon' could have a chance
to strip off 'Contact Poison' or 'Weapon Poison'. And 'Pillar of
Lightning' could have a chance to 1) strip the poison off the
blades of the person hit or 2) burn the poisons out of the
bloodstream of the person hit.
