What about a blade with a place to put a vial (or built in vial) in the pommel, then releases the poison onto the blade itself (think blood groove in the blade, with poison sliding down it)?

As you consider an attempt to stalk the Empath Fraethis, you believe it's blind as a bat. Go for it.

I actually thought up a whole elaborate design to do something like this IE old barb can forge a blade of your choice to do this but you gotta "quest" for the supplies, IE a mold for the blade, special metals...instructions ect. Also the blade would have little needles in it to poison the wielder every once in awhile (to keep it in the right hands and obtained past the right level). Turn the pummel to remove it and pour the poison in, push the blade to release the poison.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but non-thieves can already use poison.

Sounds like bead-carving.

Personally, i dont like the idea of non-thieves using poison we make... just me.

I like the idea of sheath/quiver and id like to see it a thief-ONLY item. A plain or designed ARM, THIGH, BELT quiver with a special coating inside and a "sponge" at the bottom to soak up a vial or two of poison. While the arrows/bolts are in there, they "soak" up the poison and there is a fresh coat on each one.

OR perhaps just a special recepticle of some sort, call it a funky name if you like but again thief ONLY and you wear it, and fill it with poison. Then you just dab your arrow or blade into it to apply the poison.

Something similar in idea to a pool-cue chalk on a rope. You wear the item, and "chalk up your cue" before you make your shot.

Just a thought or three.


Thanks..

i suggested something at vegas con to Ssra that the poison can teach alchemy based on how well it was applied to the weapon, of corse you'd have to prevent the passing of poisoned weapons, like the spell mark of arhert which pulses and gives exp even when not in the same room.
