Formian Taskmaster Venom

This poison is extracted from a formian taskmaster. A living victim must make an immediate HT-2 roll or suffer 1d-2 toxic damage. Every hour for 3 more cycles he must make another HT-2 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 ST until he heals above this threshold.

Form: Follow-Up Poison.

Cost: $60 (singular); $25 (5-batched).

Recipe: $6; 1 day; defaults to Poisons-1.

Statistics: Toxic Attack 1d-2 (Cyclic, 1 hour, 3 cycles, Resistible, +20%; Follow-Up Poison, -20%; Resistible, HT-2, -20%; Symptoms, 2/3 HP, -3 ST, +15%) [2].
