#130, "Gnome Poisoners"


          

This is from the gnome helpfile that explains why they are resistant to poison.

"...and centuries of experimentation with toxic substances have caused them to aquire a resistance to poison."

Now my question is from this and the fact that gnomes have one of the 3 poisoner guilds, might gnomes have an inherent advantage to being a poisoner. I know there have been quite a few successful gnome thieves, but every time I roll one for any path I get to frustrated with how frail they are and was wondering if they had a bonus in this field.

If this is something I will have to play test just say so and I will. But if this does not exist at all I would like to save my time and effort.

Also, if they do not have a bonus, might this be something worth throwing out to other imms to have considered?

I'm going to say not really, but I could be wrong. If Sebeok or
someone has tinkered in something, they can chime in if it relates.

For what you're after, I don't think it does that. There might
be a slight advantage, but I don't think it is in being a
better poisoner so much as not getting poisoned yourself as much.

Yeah, I'll kick it around.
