I think it's in Holmes anyway. My PCs used to always buy it.<br /><br />That would be my guess as to why Belladonna is in the table - for self-inflicted curative attempts.PTRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01804620638450848244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-58504922386014514052010-10-17T18:04:36.301-05:002010-10-17T18:04:36.301-05:00I really like the way that size factors in on effe...I really like the way that size factors in on effects.<br /><br />Anyway, here's my own poison table that I developed for my Labyrinth Lord game.

Probably b...meh, I'm not as fond of the chart. Probably because the effects of Belladonna on the chart are rather mild.<br /><br />In reality the toxins in Atropa Belladonna can be fatal, and some of the symptoms include hallucinations, delirium, and convulsions. Which seem a lot more fun to RP than the "half-actions" listed on the chart.<br /><br />Then again, In my games I always tended to make poisons rarely available, easily ruined, and with a range of effects. As in, a roll was made each time a target was poisoned to see how much of a dose the target actually received. A chart like the one here would be easier overall, but I think I'd prefer a method where the effect on different targets might differ, either because of dosage or physiology.<br /><br />Just my two cents.Nick (the armchair toxicologist)noreply@blogger.com
