The Pitch! We now have a brand new poisoning system! Food, drink, and potions can all be poisoned with the 60+ distinct varieties of poison that are available at varying degrees of potency, rarity, and expense.

The Details Any custom poison or standard Bioware poison can be used on a food, drink, or potion item to poison it. The spell Poison works for this as well. Once an item is poisoned, it will inflict that poison on the person who next uses (drinks, eats) it. Some poisons have low resist DCs and trifling effects -- other, rarer poisons have higher resist DCs and more crippling effects. Devices and indicators are available from various merchants to detect poisoned items. As with the poisons themselves, these are best discovered in-game.
