Poisoncraft - The Dark Art

Blue Deception … Quod … Wisp of Pallstone. These are but three of the lethal poisons that grace the pages of this book. Never again will your characters yawn at the mention of a poisoned arrow or the sight of a venomous serpent. For instead of merely being weakened by the kiss of poison, they may find themselves deafened, unable to cast spells, or thrown into the very depths of fear!

he first in the Complete line of d20 sourcebooks from Blue Devil Games, this tome contains so much more than a simple recitation of poisons. A free-form, open-ended system for crafting exotic poisons means the product of your skill will only be limited by the breadth of your imagination. The Complete treatment includes:

• Detailed rules for brewing new poisons, magical poisons, and signature poisons, harvesting raw materials from vanquished foes, and creating antidotes.
• More than 40 new feats, including metapoison feats, epic feats, and the dreaded Toxic Substitution.
• Over 30 poison-related spells, including the ultimate in retributive magic: Vengeance on Tainted Hands.
• An armory-full of new equipment and magic items, like the sinister Hollow-Blade and the legendary Staff of Serpents.
• Six new prestige classes, including the Ki Corrupted and Toxomancer.
• A menagerie’s worth of baneful creatures, featuring the venomous gaze of the Syrallax and the grim essence of the Toxic Deathlord.
• Adventure seeds incorporating all of the new rules for levels 1-20, including fully statted NPCs.

You might find all of that in a regular sourcebook. In a Complete sourcebook, that’s just the beginning! Blue Devil Games also gives you: rules on poison decay, the perils of handling poison, two versions of the poison cleric domain, three creature templates, a random poison naming table, a detailed description of all nineteen poison families, a character sheet addendum page, and a Poisoncraft worksheet for creating new poisons. Oh, and did we mention the Codex Venenorum, containing more than 60 poisons!
