Alchemy: Inhaled Poisons

Alchemy: Inhaled Poisons

And here's the last batch of poisons from D&D 3.5 Dungeon Master's Guide and Pathfinder Core Rulebook.

Burnt Othur Fumes

This is a respiratory agent made from tropical tree bark. This poison flask can be thrown (range is STx3.5). Hitting a hard surface, it breaks, creating a cloud of poison gas in a 2-yard radius. The cloud persists for 10 seconds and may drift with the wind. Any creature that inhales the gas must make an immediate HT-2 roll or suffer 1d-1 toxic damage. Every 2 seconds for 3 more cycles he must make another HT-2 roll to resist or take the same amount of damage. After losing 1/2 HP to this poison, the victim gets a -3 penalty to HT until he heals above this threshold.

Form: Grenade.

Cost: $420 (singular); $150 (5-batched).
