Background:
Have an alchemist who couldnt hit the broad side of a barn in Mele. He however has enough dex to hit whatever he wants with a ranged attack.
The alchemist gets the below discovery:
Sticky poison: Any poison the alchemist creates is sticky—when the alchemist applies it to a weapon, the weapon remains poisoned for a number of strikes equal to the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier. An alchemist must be at least 6th level before selecting this discovery.
This does nothing for ranged poisoning.
Thematic: I'm envisioning a magic blowgun that 'absorbs' poisons you apply to it, and puts the poison onto the dart leaving it. Be this by magic or some other feat of engineering. This doesn't remove the chance of self poisoning, or allow you to poison multiple darts with one dose, but combining this with sticky poison would allow it.
For even more fun, the blowgun could possibly absorb more then 1 does at a time of the same poison.
Looking for some advice as to how to create this. Is it magic, is it engineering is it ????. I need to put together a well done proposal to present to my GM.
