Here's what our idea thread on poisons looks like:

- Poisons are craft items created with a physician guildskill called apothecary. A physican can accidentally poison themselves making them.

- Poisons do not work on one-off basis, rather you have to hit someone with it repeatedly over a period of time.

- Poisons can be touch, ingested, inhaled, or inflicted with weapon damage.

- Effects: no magic casting, pain + death, hallucinations


Any other ideas?

Also, the ability to induce vomming might be nice as a protective...
