Ghargatula Venom
This poison is extracted from a ghargatula. A living victim must make an immediate HT-4 roll or suffer 1d toxic damage. Every minute for 4 more cycles he must make another HT-4 roll to resist or take the same amount of damage. After losing 1/3 HP to this poison, the victim gains a -3 penalty to DX until he heals above this threshold.
Form: Follow-Up Poison.
Cost: $300 (singular); $110 (5-batched).
Recipe: $30; 1 day; defaults to Poisons-1.
Statistics: Toxic Attack 1d (Cyclic, 1 minute, 4 cycles, Resistible, +80%; Follow-Up Poison, -20%; Resistible, HT-4, -10%; Symptoms, 1/3 HP, -3 DX, +90%) [10].
