How long does the cloud of an inhaled poison last?


Rules Questions


GM here, I was planning on throwing a Poisoner Rogue against my players in an upcoming adventure. I was going to have him convert a couple doses of Large Scorpion Venom into Inhaled rather than injury and start the fight by dropping those in the middle of the group. I wasn't sure if they would have to be dancing around the poison cloud for the rest of the fight or if it would dissipate quickly.

It says that most fill a 10 foot cube per dose but it doesn't say how long the cloud of poison lasts? I would assume it's like a smokestick, 1 round in moderate or stronger winds and 1 minute otherwise, or is it dependent upon something else like the poison's duration?


Smoke and powder are two different things. Powder will fall down without wind .. so lets say 1d4 rounds until it is ineffective.


Sounds good and reasonable, thanks Eridan.
