There are those who fight and die honorably, and there are those with pockets full of dirty tricks who live to brawl another day. Embrace the subversive with Dirty Tactics Toolbox, a player-focused manual filled with loads of deliciously devious tips, tricks, and rules options to ensure that your character never has to face a fair fight. Delve into the art of the ambush, research new poisons, and discover ways to enhance your sneak attacks and dirty trick combat maneuvers. And if none of that suits your sly sensibilities, arm yourself with magic that targets your enemy's jugular or turns her sword into an angry snake. Dirty Tactics Toolbox contains everything you need to gain the upper hand and then exploit the advantage mercilessly.

Inside this book, you'll find tips for using all manner of poisons, including feats that empower envenomed weapons and infuse magic with toxins, plus details on a bevy of new poisons, as well as general and specific tactics for using sneak attacks, plus new feats for characters who specialize in dealing precision damage. There’s also expanded ideas for using the dirty trick combat maneuver (plus ways to combine combat maneuvers with guile and a new combat style for those who admire the cunning kitsune), options for characters who worship trickster gods (such as manipulative Asmodeus and chaotic Calistria, plus a wasp familiar for the faithful of the Savored Sting), and a wide range of new equipment tricks, including novel uses for boots, cloaks, nets, thieves' tools, and wondrous items, plus new equipment, magic armor and weapons, and spells for your crooked arsenal.

Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Tian Xia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against a Varisian when death is on the line"! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha... <thud>

And to think, all this time, it was your cup that was poisoned.

Is there a feat in this book that makes you immune to a certain poison? If not, there should be.

Iocane... I'd bet my life on it!

Awfully specific for the cost of a feat, it'd make an interesting trait though.

I always wondered how he was able to figure that out. It's odorless and tasteless right?

The cracked version of the gamboge nodule ioun stone grants immunity to one particular poison, I believe.

Princess Bride Spoilers:
The mercenary you employed to kidnap Princess Buttercup is dead. There is no Princess Buttercup, and no marks on the body, and no sign of pain, two cups, neither of which smell of poison. Either he died of a heart attack, or of an odorless, colorless poison, that kills instantly.

Which would possibility would you bet your life on?
