Few things:
1) Poisoned weapons are not practical, are expensive generally, and aren't the most effective method of winning combats.
2) I'm interested in how to build a character for PFS that's built around poisons, even if it sucks.
3) With that being said, lets see how well we can actually build a character that uses poisons.
It seems that going Separatist Cleric of Norgorber (to pickup the Venom subdomain) and later going into Exalted prestige class is a decent option. But I also noticed that Alchemists seem to get some good bonuses to Poisons and the ability to craft poison.
Are there items, feats, or traits that I'm missing? Or are there other classes that get boosts to using poisons? I'd really like to mesh something together and see how far it would go in PFS despite some of the difficulties.
FEAT
Poisoner's Channel - 1/day, all who are harmed take -4 penalty on saving throws vs poison effects for 1 minute. Combine with Poison variant Channeling? It's labeled as a "poison effect."
Powerful Poisoning
Daggermark Lore
Deep Toxin
TRAITS
Poisonous Slayer - +1atk when wielding a weapon treated with poison.
Venom-Drenched - ingest a poison which remains in your system for 24hours, any creature that bites you during that time is subject to the poison's effects.
DOMAINS
Venom Subdomain's Venomous Saliva - swift action, Life-Stealing Venom (fort DC 10 + 1/2 cleric level + wis mod) frequency 1/round for 3 rounds, effect 1 con dmg; cure 1 save. 3 + wis mod per day.
SPELLS
Pernicious Poison (Venom Subdomain)
Poisoned Egg
EXALTED Prestige Class
2nd Boon from Exalted of Norgorber - +2DC for any saving throw of poison you use.
ALCHEMIST
"Concentrate Poison" - spend 1 minute and apply 2 doses of a poison to extend frequency by 50% and increase save DC by +2.
"Sticky Poison" - weapon remains poisoned for number of strikes equal to alchemist's Int mod. Must be 6th level Alchemist.
ITEMS
Poisoned Sand Tube - use 3 doses of inhaled or contact poison to disperse in 15ft cone.
Serpent Belt - +4 to all Poisons

Appreciate the response, it's been more than a year since that thread has had a post though and there's been multiple splatbooks that have came out since then. Dirty Tactics Handbook and Weapon Master Handbook to name a few. Has any new stuff came out for Poison builds? Can we get some example builds of Alchemist, Cleric, or etc builds to see how well people can build some Poison users? I'll try to add one or two builds by tomorrow.
The guide seems to be abandoned, so I made a new guide
