Notes:

  1. For the Poison System see Section 7. of the General Systems.
  2. Cast on a single Target only, which must be an object (e.g. a weapon).  The Target object may be specified as just the blade of a weapon or the tip of an arrow.  The Venom is concentrated as appropriate to fit on the Target.
  3. A Target object functions as if coated with Blade Venom for the Duration.  Once it causes >0 DAM (after ADS) to a Target, all the Poison is discharged into him.  He gets no st, but must make a Co check vs unconsciousness or death / suspend animation as applicable.
  4. Once the Venom has poisoned a Being, it remains in his body like any other Poison, and does not disappear on expiry of the Duration.
  5. Poisonous Animals or Monsters are typically resistant to Poison.
  6. Multiple Poisons are cumulative to Poison a Target.  If Multiple Envenom / Blade Venom Spells are Cast on an object, they will be cumulative, and all will discharge at once on causing DAM.
