Extract Poison?

[shards]

Can we have Extract Poison from venomous animals back?

I rather like the sound of this.

Some ideas are Blue Worms being a harvestable poison, similar to the larval worms or snakes. Not rock worms though. Could you imagine how much that would make the worm pits suck? So hard to get your meat.

Hellwasps could be extracted for a bee poison.

Living Mold? Because... They... uh... squelch around and absorb a lot of the poisonous fungi and detrius and their juices can be squeezed and refined to a weapon grade toxin.

Ok there really aren't that many sources of poisonous things in the underdark compared to Ymph. Can you tell I'm writing this freeform? Coffee. Too much of it.

Extract Poison could be used on certain poisonous substances. Dragons Bile and Iron Golem Fumes no, but growable things like Nightshade, Sassone Leaf Residue, and Striped Toadstool (okay maybe not toadstool. It's such a mild thing in the first place) you could use the Extract Poison ability on and try to refine those naturally toxic herbs into weapon quality poisons.

Eyeless Deep Spiders, Phase Spiders, Hunting Spiders, Sword Spiders. Are Racing Spiders even poisonous? I honestly don't know. These are spiders that appear randomly in the wilderness but not in large packs usually like in quests.

Maybe Hook Horrors or other aberrants can have a gland inside of them which a skilled poisoner can extract and turn into weapon grade venom. Though not the hook horrors from the quest, because that'd just flood availability.




The custom poisons gained from extracting are really cool! When the feature was new everyone tried it, then it faded out to only the people who actually used it, and it was fun to roleplay. Hunting down and learning new types of poisonous creatures, trading poisons with other poisoners, and being able to crack a crooked grin as you coat your dagger in a poison that lasts longer than the time it takes to write a single intimidation emote. Poisons are a contraband but there really just are not any poisons out there to be prohibited in the first place! This could help stir up conflict with the law in that regard, maybe raise political activity and open new concepts who try and use them, or allow for more shady dealings with Lower scum.

So those are a few ideas off the top of my head that can potentially make this plausible again in efu:r. Poisonous creatures are more limited, but if poisonous plants could be turned into weapon poisons also then this feature might actually be possible again.
