DC is based on the poison DC, or on CR (still undecided on that, I keep going back and forth).<br /><br />One of the features of this is that every party has someone with some ranks on Heal, but also offers an incentive to keep puting ranks on it during the higher levels (as the DCs for cargiving cap at around 15).<br /><br />If the players want to keep the poison for later use (not this sesion), I call for a Craft(alchemy) check to stabilize it, plus half the cost of a dose in reagents (solves the "too much loot" issue, kindof).<br /><br />I hope any of this is helpful to people out there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00714195233466781021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16553938.post-8194223268676028832010-12-30T21:17:25.418-07:002010-12-30T21:17:25.418-07:00I am DMing a group and came up with my own rules f...I am DMing a group and came up with my own rules for extraction. They are very similar to what you are talking about here. So I felt I would post it for you.<br /><br />Extracting Poisons<br /><br />1st- Roll the correct knowledge check for the beast with the poison(Arcana for dragons, nature for animals, ect, ect.) to locate the poison sack. Fail increases step two’s DC by 5. Assassin's skip this step do to their knowledge on poisons.<br /><br />2nd-Roll a survival check DC 15 + HD of creature with the sack you are trying to extract. On a natural 1 you accidentally poison yourself. On failed check, half the doses rounded down are spoiled.<br />Special assassin's never poison themselves while extracting the sack.<br /><br />3rd-The size of creature determines how many doses are possible to extract; tiny 1, small 1d2, medium 1d4, large 2d4, huge 2d8.<br /><br />4th- For each dose, role a craft-alchemy check. DC = poison save DC. On failed check, that doses poison is spoiled. On a natural 1 you poison yourself. Assassins never poison themselves on a natural 1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16553938.post-41746219833656011652010-10-22T03:14:52.847-06:002010-10-22T03:14:52.847-06:00I would like to read a bit more soon.
