It's obvious--anything that does poison damage. But is it obvious? Poison is a matter of dose.

For hazmat labeling anything with an oral LD50 lower than 300mg/kg is considered toxic aka poison. (50 mg/kg for highly toxic, 5 mg/kg for extremely toxic.)

Note that this includes many substances not intended to cause harm. I can think of multiple things I have around that would be considered toxic--despite being meant for human consumption! I'm not going to take the time to look up all the data but I'm pretty sure a couple would class as highly toxic.

Does detect poison ping on things like that--stuff that small exposures could easily kill but which aren't meant for killing? And what about the borderline cases--say, heroin?

(Or, for the ultimate case--the drug Wayfarin <b>is</b> rat poison.)

Would it be reasonable to have a demiplane that has normal gravity up to 10' above ground level and then 10% of normal gravity above that point?

1) The wizard can lift 100#. He picks up a hot air balloon that weighs 1000# but has 950# of lift due to the hot air. Can he teleport?

2) The wizard is underwater. He picks up a barrel that weighs 50# but is open and thus full of water. Can he teleport?

3) The wizard is underwater, but this time the barrel is full of wine and corked and thus has a net weight of 45#. Can he teleport?

Can a group of people pick up and teleport something that's too heavy for anyone to lift, but the group in cooperation have the carrying capacity to lift it?

The sign said "Badwater Road".

My first thought was water elementals.

(Although there was no water, any elementals would have to be salt elementals.)

There's what looks like a conversion oops here:

Wish can now only raise a stat by lowering another, yet the tomes that grant stat boosts are unchanged. The tomes are still priced as wishes + a bit extra, this doesn't make sense.
