Note: In order for an Elixir or a Poison to fully affect its target, the target must absorb an entire dose. If for some reason, the dose is not absorbed in its entirety it will not affect a target and the rest of the created Brew will have been a wasted effort. However, if the Brew is consumed in its entirety within the span of 10 minutes, then it can and will affect the target.
Some Brewers bypass this potential obstacle by doubling the dose of their brew. It costs twice as much but in the end, the effect can be worth it.
With the proper Recipe and the proper components, it takes 10 minutes to create a brew. While there are exceptions, Brews expire after 6 months after they are created.
Whenever a Recipe is used, 3 doses are created.
Elixir Notes: Drinking an Elixir is a process that takes 5 seconds of drinking and the imbiber must have the phys rep in hand. If a character is struck while he is drinking, the Elixir's effect is ruined.
Usually, it takes 10 seconds for an Elixir to affect its target. Many Elixirs bestow a latent effect upon a target, these are counted against the limited on latent effects that a target can have.
Poison Notes: The effects of many poisons, on the other hand, can be felt from the very moment the dose is consumed in its entirety. Some poisons are subtle enough that their effects are felt up to 10 minutes after the dose is delivered.
Using Poisons in Combat: Poisoning a blade takes 1 dose of poison and 10 seconds of application (Poisoning 1, Poisoning 2…Poisoning 10). If you are struck while performing this dangerous task, you are afflicted by your own poison. Poison on a weapon becomes inert and useless 5 minutes after it is applied.
Using a Poison in combat is tricky. When you can strike an opponent with your poisoned weapon, invoke the poison name and invoke the effect, forgoing the ability to deal damage to inflict a poison upon your foeman. This is a risky proposition, however. If the target has at least 1 AP from spells or worn armor remaining, then he can ignore your poison by invoking “immune”.
- When using a Poison that inflicts damage, you declare the amount of damage in poison. Poison is a separate category, not stacking with any other kinds of damage. (ex: 10 Poison, for 10 points of Poison damage)
- When using a Poison that inflicts an effect (such as Stun or Confuse), the word "Poison" follows the name of the effect but goes before the duration (e.g Stun Poison 10, Snare Poison 10)
Kinds of Poison:
There are three kinds of poisons: Trap, Ingested and Combat.
Combat Poisons are the most used but the least powerful of these. Trap Poisons are deadlier but Ingested Poisons are the deadliest of all, but their dosage is also the most difficult to deliver.
