Can a PC be poisoned more then once by the same poison?


Rules Questions

The logical answer is no, BUT I can not find it in the rules that says anything to the contrary. In other words if a pc gets poisoned by a harpoon spider for 1d6 damage, can he be hit again for the poison damage. And I'm not talking about the secondary damage 1 minute later.


In Pathfinder, each dose of poison you take raises the fortitude DC by 2. It also extends the duration (since poison in PF generally runs over a course of 4+ turns, rather than twice like in 3.5).

I recommend looking at the SRD.

Thank you that cleared it up.

Try to get stung by hundreds of hornets at once. Let's see if that will make you re-evaluate your assumptions. ;-P
