Poisons

Poisons with a chance component have a 1/36 base chance (2D6 roll of 2) of the effect taking place each turn. If a poison comes from a spell, the chance is increased by the caster's stamina bonus modifier. If the poison comes from some other source, the chance is increased by the power level of the source.

The effects can be resolved by adding 2 to the modifier or potency and comparing the roll against that number. If the roll is equal to or less than the combined number, the effect takes place.

Example: if a creature is afflicted by a poison with a power level of 2, it would then suffer the effects on a 2D6 roll of 2, 3 or 4 at the end of the turn when the lingering effects are resolved.

Blinding Poison

Lingering effect that has a chance of blinding the creature for D6 turns. Blinded creatures may act normally with the exception that they can't see anything. Blinding Poison also applies a negative modifier to hit rolls that equals to the power level of the poison.

Charming Poison

Lingering effect that has a chance of charming the creature for D6 turns. Charmed creatures are forced to attack the nearest creature that is also an enemy of the charmer or miss their turn if no such creature exists. Charming poison also forces the affected creature to pass a mental check before attacking the charmer.

Confusing Poison

Deadly Poison

Lingering effect that has a chance of causing D3 + X points of poison damage. Deadly poison also forces the creature to re-roll successful health regeneration rolls.

Draining Poison

Lingering effect that has a chance of causing the creature to lose 1 point of energy. Draining Poison also applies a negative modifier on energy regeneration rolls that equals to the power level of the poison. The damage caused by this poison also counts as an energy drain effect for immunity purposes.

Leeching Poison

Lingering effect that has a chance of causing the creature to lose D3 + X points of health. Leeching Poison also applies a negative modifier on health regeneration rolls that equals to the power level of the poison. The damage caused by this poison also counts as a health drain effect for immunity purposes.

Paralytic Poison

Lingering effect that has a chance of paralysing the creature for D6 turns. Paralytic Poison also counts as a slow effect on the creature.

Silencing Poison also applies a negative modifier on casting rolls that equals to the power level of the poison. Creatures with Silent Cast talent are not affected.

Sleeping Poison

Lingering effect that has a chance of causing the creature to fall asleep for D6 turns. Any damage will interrupt the currently affecting sleep effect but the poison remains and the creature may fall asleep again on the next turn.

Slowing Poison

Lingering effect that counts as a slow effect and as an effect that may cause the creature to miss its next turn. Slowing Poison also reduces dodge, parry and block modifiers with a number that equals to the power level of the poison. This effect cannot, however, reduce the respective modifiers below their normal minimum level (e.g. +1 block modifier when a buckler is equipped).
