• Poisoning weapons difficulty values: Min skill for applying poison potions to items are as follows: Lesser = 0, Regular = 25, Greater = 50, Deadly = 75.
• Success % = (Poisoning Skill – Potion Min Skill) * 4%.
• Poisoning skill for Melee Combat:
  • Players may use the poisoning skill to apply poison to certain weapons. These weapons include one handed swordsmanship weapons and all fencing weapons.
  • The higher a player’s poisoning skill the more potent of a poison they may apply to a weapon.
    

    Special Ability Use: Toxic Strike

    Players with the poisoning skill are able to execute a “toxic strike” that enables the next melee hit that lands upon an opponent to guarantee poison is discharged from their weapon if that weapon has poison charges remaining on the blade.

    The higher a player’s poisoning skill, the more frequently they are able to use the ability.
