Pathfinder - Second Darkness, Part 4 of 6 - Endless Night (or archive of nethys)
How do you figure the minimum caster level? What abilities can you actually create? How do you determine the penalty? These seem really cool, but I have no idea how to create them. The creation rules seem simple at a glance, but look closer and the get pretty confusing, at least to me.
The rules update to Pathfinder is found here.
It doesn't really answer any of your questions, but I think it's largely left up to the GM. I'm writing an article for the next issue of Wayfinder that includes new fleshcrafting poisons and to be honest it's more of an art than a science. When determining caster level, I basically just wing it, weighing the benefits of one poison against the other to determine cost. The abilities again are largely left up to the GM. I looked over various monster abilities and picked ones that sounded good, using the CR of a monster with that ability to determine the price.
