We had a question come up in our game about bottling the poison from the fangs of the Serpentine Bloodline Sorcerer and then applying it to weapons.

Seems like a slippery slope but I was wondering if there were any rules for taking the poison out of something poisonous and applying it to weapons.

The discussions that came up included:
1) Making the poison only potent the day it was produced
2) Requiring someone with craft(alchemy) to process it to an injury poison
3) Just saying it doesn't work like that

Any thoughts or official rulings?


I wanted to start a thread that people could build spells using the words of power system and share them. I figured we could use this thread to explore the system and have others check our work. I didn't see one that had already been started.

In my initial read through the system it seems like I could create the equivalent of Mass Hold Person as a 3rd level wordspell:

Target Word: Boosted Selected (Level 3)
Meta Word: Boost applied to Selected
Effect Word: Paralyze Humanoid (Binding) - Sorcerer/Wizard 3

School enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting];
Level sorcerer/wizard 3
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target one humanoid creature per level, all within 30 ft
Duration 1 round/level
Saving Throw Will negates; Spell Resistance yes

The wordspell affects up to one target per caster level, no two of which can be more than 30 feet apart. The targets of a wordspell with this effect word are paralyzed and cannot move. They are aware and can breathe normally, but cannot take any actions. At the end of each of the creatures' turns, they can attempt a new saving throw to end the effect. Flying creatures that rely on wings to fly fall, and swimmers cannot swim and may drown. Wordspells with this effect word only affect creatures of the humanoid type.
