Drinkable Poisons

[Chiangtao]

Various drinkable poisons would be fun to add. Various DCs for detection (pending on the poison), save checks, and results could all be built into these potions. They could be disguised as ales and other normal drinks, but sold at Shady and Eboncoin stores. I'm sure there are ample poison rules already in 3.5 for what the results could be (knockout juice, truth serum, etc.).

Another idea could be something similar, but usable on an opponent with 2% or less HPs. Forcing stuff down a disabled opponent's throat, and whatnot.

Abuse, child molestation, and rape should never be used in a plot on our server, even in character backgrounds.

and

Sexual situations are not to be roleplayed on Sundren at any time.

On topic, some Dev, want to say GBX, mentioned something about doing more with poisons to try and give those types of characters a boost. It'd be something neat to see.

[Doubtful]

Your mind goes to dark places far to quickly r3.

I think the dev in question was Cornuto. Possibly, I know he did some poisonous stuff recently.

[Chiangtao]

Yeah, I was thinking more for like, tricking people. "Here, have a drink buddy! This round's on me!"

I'm sure Black guards would love to have poisons made useful. Just for giggles I threw some "strong poison" on a weapon during PvP. Took two steps forward and it wore off. Has no use whatsoever that I could see. Extend the time and boost the DC and poison might make a BG almost a threat to the good guys.

I was working on something like this: http://www.sundren.org/wiki/index.php?title=Poison

Script was finished, but then I rebuilt my computer and haven't come back to it.

Most excellent! I eagerly await.

Requesting something to make a high level paladin use caution.

Looks good, but the DC's are super-low, since we're talking about a server where everyone's lowest save is +20 by mid levels (especially the Paladins Redjack mentioned.

What about making the DC's vary based on the makers alchemy skill or level?

[ThePaganKing]

I would like to see poisons that are more effective also;however, if you are going to make DC based on alchemy score, then can we please add this to making wands also....not the DC, but the level and duration?

[Handsomeman]

The highest save i got on my level 22 character is like 2O, and thats with save bonus items. And if poison procs every hit, that should have a good chance to poison even if they have high saves(if you can beat their ac, it at least 5% chance each hit).
Back to topic, i don't think drinkable poison is that good of an idea. I used to play a game called ultima online, and in that game you can posion drinks and food. Characters needed to eat and drink to perform well, but still ppl didnt eat or drink potentially poisonous things from ppl. In a game where characters dont need to eat to survive, knowing that drinks and food can poison you, ppl will just refuse the food/drink and just buy their own. Perhaps a poison poition of healing might work though.

[Thief Of Navarre]

Could be interesting with healing potions and other magical ones (barkskin e.t.c.). Like Handsomeman said regular food and drink will just be ignored if poison is introduced.

R3 wins this thread with his wicked wicked mind.

[Redjack]

We have some real nasty drinkable drugs, that are quite difficult to shake off once you have injested them.
