How to read monster stat block


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Hi,
I've just started getting into RPGs again and have a question about a monster state block. (Pathfinder)

It reads: Poison (Ex) Sting--injury; save Fort DC 10; frequency 1/round for 4 rounds, then 1/ten minutes until cured; effect 1d2 Con; cure 2 consecutive saves

I read this as: Fort DC check once per round for 4 rounds. Fail means suffer 1d2 Con loss. When healed magically or after 2 successful checks, PC is healed of all effects.

Is this right?

Thnx
Emanuel

I don't think so. Two successful, and successive, saves stops the poison from killing you, but you still have a reduced con score until that is treated in some way.

Terquem is correct, ending the poison either by magic or consecutive saves only stops further
damage it doesn't fix damage already done.
