Poisoning¶
Overview¶
Poisoning allows you to apply various levels of poison to weapons or enhance the potency of poison spells.
It's often paired with Fencing, since all weapons used with that skill are fast and benefit from quick, repeated strikes.
Starting items if you choose this skill in character creation: Lesser Poison Potions.
How to apply¶
Use the Poisoning skill, target the poison potion and then target the desired weapon.
Be aware that failing to apply poison to a weapon has a chance to poison the user instead.
Chance of poisoning¶
The chance to poison a target on each successful hit is calculated by dividing the Poisoning skill by 4.
A weapon poisoned by someone with 100 Poisoning has a 25% chance to apply poison on each successful hit.
Uses¶
This table shows how many successful hits your weapon has before the poison wears off.
Every hits consumes one use, no matter if the poison is applied or not.
| Poison level | Uses |
|---|---|
| Lesser Poison | 18 |
| Poison | 16 |
| Greater Poison | 14 |
| Deadly Poison | 12 |
Poison spell¶
When you attempt to cast poison on a mob, it will now consider your poison skill.
At GM poisoning, you have a 50% chance to apply poison even if they're immune.
It scales down from 50% (ie: at 55 poisoning, you have a 27.5% chance)
