Drugs as a Weapon

[GNOgamer]

I have a poisoner rogue character that uses poison since she can do very little damage. I recently got my hands on some opium and realized, this can be better than most poisons in the core rulebook, not to mention it is a lot cheaper than any of the poisons. It loses its effectiveness as a weapon after the first strike, but it can be a great tool in a poisoners bat-belt when a fight comes a knockin'. Drugs as a weapon.....what do you all think?

Shades of Yellowbeard. Yes I expect it will work rather well.

Shiver and Zerk will also work as weapons. Shiver is a bit pricy though.
Aether might even work if you could rig a delivery system. The dc for the caster check will be easy for most full casters but it mich stop half-casters cold.

I expect milk of the poppy to be very effective.

alchemists rule at making drugs. drugs are made with craft alchemy. with the feat that lets you pump out items at high speed, you can make a bunch of doses a day for real cheap

I would choose a blowgun, or shuriken, for flavor purposes

There's no way you could deliver enough opium via injury to have a narcoleptic effect. That's the major difference between drugs and poisons.

Crack disagrees with you. So does cocaine. Heroin would like a word as well.

Though if you mean "just opium" I think I might have to concede.

Heroin = opium
