People seem to use restore rather than antitoxin, since poison has instant effect. They (we) just wait for poison effect to end.

Shouldn't poison wait a few rounds before causing damage, like diseases but in a faster way? That would increase the use and need for antitoxin.

Or make the poison continue till (near?) death... I haven't yet seen a poison (or disease for that matter) actually lay someone down as do Shadows special attacks.

It sure hurts when your tank has his STR or CON reduced, but still isn't as bad as poisons could get.

What's the thoughts on that?

I'm pretty sure poison works the way it does because of NWN's engine. Perhaps antitoxin can, if you're not poisoned yet, give you a small bonus vs. poison?

I know I never use antitoxins. Roll a heal check mid battle just to prevent the secondary damage? No thanks. I'll just restore when the poison wears off.

So yeah. Something could definitely change here. I like Scotty's suggestion. Make it like a shorter-lasting, weaker version of Ironguts.

Anti-toxins should have two checks.

1) removes the poison (DC 15) 2) helps heal the damage (DC 25)

Oroborous Anti-toxins should have two checks.

1) removes the poison (DC 15) 2) helps heal the damage (DC 25)

Sounds good.

I would also agree with the suggestion that anti-toxin give a small bonus (+2?) to bonus ... similar to inoculation prior to exposition to a toxin.

I support Mort and Oro's suggestions.

I also agree.

I agree with Oro's suggestion!

Stop the shameless spam and +1 posts!

Be constructive!

Seriously guys, I think this is a pretty cool idea, even if modified. I'm also stoked that I get post count +1, and yet shamefully hide such a declaration within the body of my text.

What The Beggar said.

My idea is good. I like it. I, like TheBeggar, am also impressed that I get a +1 post count from writing this. Even better, since I'm agreeing with my *own* idea, it is technically a +2 to my count which will before very long be higher than Arkov and Howland's.

I rock. That hard.

I think the DCs should be a bit lower than 25. It's still high enough to make people wait for a Restoration.

DC 25 is so easy to get, I have people that have a higher heal skill than 25.
