Poisons icky and sticky

Thilodius asked if I knew anything about poisons so I'm guessing he was going to ask about DC's and stuff. I ripped open the 2da with them all in it and here's what I found. Aside from all the other strange ones these are the most common.

Type Save_DC Handle_DC Dice Repetitions

Small_Centipede_Poison 11 9 d2 1 DEX Large_Scorpion_Venom 18 14 d6 1 STR Wyvern_Poison 17 14 d6 2 CON Giant_Wasp_Poison 18 14 d6 1 DEX Bebilith_Venom 20 16 d6 1 CON Quasit_Venom 13 10 d4 1 DEX Pit_Fiend_Ichor 21 17 d6 3 CON Ettercap_Venom 13 10 d6 1 DEX Aranea_Venom 13 10 d6 1 STR Tiny_Spider_Venom 11 9 d2 1 STR Small_Spider_Venom 11 9 d3 1 STR Medium_Spider_Venom 14 11 d4 1 STR Large_Spider_Venom 18 14 d6 1 STR Huge_Spider_Venom 26 21 d8 1 STR Gargantuan_Spider_Venom 36 29 d6 2 STR Colossal_Spider_Venom 35 28 d8 2 STR Phase_Spider_Venom 15 12 d6 2 CON Wraith_Spider_Venom 26 21 d6 1 CON Iron_Golem_Fumes 17 20 d4 1 CON Wyvern_Poison_Epic 26 20 d6 2 CON

I think that makes sense. Anyway if anyone has any other questions about these or any poisons that aren't listed feel free to ask.

How do these work exactly? I have found several around the game world. How exactly would you go about using these (and has anyone found a time to do so? I have yet to see feasts or such were food is prepared away from those it is intended for)

I am a little confused...

From what I gather, your first example would mean this:

Small Centidpede Poison would have a save DC of 11 on the first repitition, and a 9 on the second. Should the respective DC be failed, each time the poisonee would take a DEX decrease hit of 1?

Is that right, or....? Need to check, is all.

Handle DC is the DC to say apply it to a weapon.

So for Small Centipede Poison, if bitten you have to succeed a fort save of DC 11 or be poisoned. If you apply it to a weapon you have to succeed a Dex save of DC 9.

If you get poisoned the number of STAT damage is dependant upon the dice. So if it's d2 you will take d2 DEX damage. The repitions is how many times it deals damage. Since Small centipede is only 1 you'll only take d2 DEX damage once.

A great way to use poisons is in potions. Healing potions inperticular as they are used alot other than that use your imaginationon how to get the poison into something like maby buy one of every drink available at a bar beforehand and poison them then when you buy the drink for the victum you hand them the one you prepared earlier many different ways that poisons can be used.

I have a stupid question, but is poison applied on food/drinks persistent over resets?

Staring Death I have a stupid question, but is poison applied on food/drinks persistent over resets?
Yes.

that would be because your essentually creating an item
