Since Bestow Curse works to add "Cursed" to items, and Poison can be used to poison potions, food and drinks, can these be added to the mechanics page? I only found out because other players mentioned about these systems in passing. It's a cool feature, and one that I expect the vast majority of players are also clueless about.

I sort of like having to experiment with poisons, but cursing information would be nice.

I think the person cursing the weapon should have some idea what they are doing.

I believe he's asking for the basics to be stated at all. It's not commonly known that items can be cursed or even poisoned so I believe that a quick note of it, excluding the details, would be appropriate.

No, Pup, I don't mean "poison items" can be used to poison food and drink, I mean the spell "Poison" apparently can too. There aren't game breaking big deals by their omission on the mechanics pages, but it's the sort of thing that can make concepts interesting. A law-enforcer wizard who creates cursed, Continual Flamed  prisoner suits to foil escapes. A Talonan who can corrupt food with his touch, etc.

Poisoning should be documented too though I think, as it's not clear you have to drop the item on the ground.

LOL.  I don't understand why everyone thinks I'm arguing with them.

I should be more clear and elaborate my thoughts more in the future.  I apologize and, just to be clear, endorse this suggestion.
