Poison is a common weapon in the political world of kings and pawns. Then there are the exotic animals and monsters of the world with their natural venoms. Honestly, any substance in sufficient quantity is toxic. Some poisons enter the bloodstream through injury, some must be imbibed or inhaled, and some can be absorbed through contact with the skin. Poisons cause the body to break down from within.
Any creature dosed with poison must make a Vitality check. If the Vitality check is a failure, the poison causes Continual Damage for its duration. You can make one subsequent Vitality check each round for the duration of the poison to resist its detrimental effects for that round.

- Level One – 1 damage/round
- Level Two – 2 damage/round
