Poison

Common

While certainly dangerous to harvest, red queen viper venom is a simple and effective toxin to coat a weapon in.

Injury. This poison is acitvated by applying to a weapon or piece of ammunition and it affects the first creature attacked by the poisoned item. When a creature takes slashing or piercing damage from the poisoned item it must attempt a saving throw against the poison. If the attack using the poisoned item misses, the target is unaffected but the poison remains on the weapon and can try again. If for some reason the attack hits but fails to cause any piercing or slashing damage, the target is unaffected by the poison and the poison is spent.
