Poison Damage not Poisons?

While looking through the Bestiary I notice that there appears to be two types of Poisons.

1) The traditional have to make Saves against kind or you get penalties.

2) And Poison Damage from Attacks similar to elemental Damage.

I tried searching the Bestiary and Rulebook for a description of the latter, but didn’t find anything in the Bestiary and the section on Damages in the Rulebook doesn’t mention Poison Damage. So is it just extra damage or does it have any rider effects like traditional poison? I’m going to assume no at the moment but we don’t currently have any information on it.


There’s also a rogue feat that provides poison damage without saves. It looks like it’s just a damage type that interacts with immunity and resistance.

Most poisons do "poison damage" although some rare ones may add something (like that one poison which deal half negative half poison)

So, it just seems like a damage type.
