2279, Tweak: Poisonous Bite weapons
Posted by Daevryn on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Valg encouraged me to announce this one. Poisonous bite weapons are slightly less useful for low/midlevel characters, but are unchanged for heroes:

- Less likely to poison for lower level characters
- Poison damage / difficulty of curing poison based on the lower of the wielder's level and the weapon's level instead of the weapon's level
- Poison duration based on the wielder's level

The net result should be that poisonous bite weapons still look pretty great for a number of reasons, but overall they have less kick in the midlevels. If you're a a character with poison on your spell/commune list, using it to poison instead of a poisonous bite weapon in the midlevels may seem more attractive again in some ways (longer duration, etc.)
