7. Spit Poison

J'Ungol Cycle (Non-standard)

Spider Cultists only

BTS: (74 + (Target's minimum ADS))% (Co), subject to modification by Variable Parameter

ULT: 63 hours

Materials: a bit of a poisonous plant

Actions: chew Materials to mix with saliva (if a Spell Effect is achieved it Neutralises any poisoning Caster may thereby suffer)

Effect of Throw:

1 to 16    No Effect

17 to 26    Poison Level ("PL") = DrL + (T-17)

³ 27        PL = DrL + ((T-6)/2) FRD

Range:    20d ft    -d(d-1)/2

St mod.:    BTS +4n%    n(n+1)/2

Suspended Animation:     -0    (Poison only has unconsciouness effect)

Delay:    -3

 Notes:

  1. Targets a single living Being.
  2. The Materials are spat at Target in the second after Casting and fly towards him at 20d ft/sec, hitting him and poisoning him with PL Posion Levels unless he makes his st.  An unobstructed line of sight is therefore required.
  3. If the Delay parameter is specified, the Spell Effect is delayed until the Caster chooses a  Target (using light concentration to spit at Target), and the Materials are then spat at Target as above in the sec after choosing (when Caster can fight normally).   The PL decays 1 per second since Casting that the spitting is delayed. E.g. if Cast with a throw of 25 giving a PL of 8, but delayed 6 seconds, the PL on hitting the Target is 2.
  4. Once the Target has been poisoned, the Poison Effect remains in his/her body like any other Poison, and does not decay or disappear.  It is cumulative with other Posion Effects, but may be removed by Neutralise Poison Effects, though not by Dispel Magic.
  5. If the Suspended Animation parameter is specified, the Poison is cumulative with other Poisons for determining unconsciousness, but not death.
  6. Poisonous Animals or Monsters are typically resistant to Poison.  Undead are not affected by Poison.
