Ettercap Venom

This poison is extracted from an ettercap. A living victim must make an immediate HT-3 roll or suffer 1d-1 toxic damage. Every hour for 3 more cycles he must make another HT-3 roll to resist or take the same amount of damage. After losing 2/3 HP to this poison, the victim gains a -3 penalty to DX until he heals above this threshold.

Form: Follow-Up Poison.

Cost: $120 (singular); $45 (5-batched).

Recipe: $12; 1 day; defaults to Poisons-1.
