Feedback about poisons:

Post by Dreams »

Some of the poisons are great, but overall it seems that many are ridiculously hard to come by the materials for and just don't have beneficial effects. In particular, the use of poisons becomes very limited when you're not able to use them on darts/arrows/bolts.

What prevents us from making poisons stack onto templates as a property just like any other?

RP only starts at 30 if you're a coward.

You should be able to use a bundle of arrows on a template to get the temp essences etc then poison on the completed arrows when they're in your ammo slot. Or at least I was last time I tried.

What about other stacking? I know this should be on Q and A but:

Do poisons stack with restrictive and unrestrictive spells?
Do they stack with permanent essences?
Temporary essences?
Spell sword and black guard imbues?

Also, the DC of homemade poisons should go way up given the cost of production and the investment in levels. I mean, they are banned from sale in Cordor, they should pack a punch. Add a new component to PVP.

------EDIT----
So I posted in this in the bug section but i wanted to post it here too. I found poisons like bee venom will stack with everything, they are unrestricted. Custom made poisons that you spend tons of time and resources investing in if you are dumb enough to think they are useful (this guy for one) do not stack with either temporary essences or spellsword imbues, or probably blackguard imbues.... actually making the blackguard poison crafting bonus almost totally worthless. So you can pick between a 1d6 bonus temporary essence, an up to 1d12 spellsword imbue with bonus damage or blackguard imbue, or a poison that doesn't have a high enough dc to hit ANY decent player build. Just to catch people up :)
