Poisons?

[FallofCamelot]

In version 3.0.2 of the Guide to Organised Play there was a list of poisons that are available to buy for those characters with poison use. In version 4.0 this has disappeared and for the life of me I can't find this list replicated anywhere.

So basically, are poisons available to buy for PFS characters and if so which ones are always available?

It's on the FAQ page here:

Any character with the Poison Use class ability can purchase and use poisons. For now, they are the only classes that have a list of “always available poisons” (those noted below)—no other class may purchase poisons unless they appear on a chronicle sheet. Alchemists, ninja, and poisoner rogues may only purchase the following poisons from the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook:

Giant wasp poison
Large scorpion venom
Medium spider venom
Shadow essence
Small centipede poison

Paladins, per their code of conduct, may not use poisons, but they don’t necessarily view the use of poisons as an evil to be opposed—it’s simply something their code prohibits them from doing themselves.

Alchemists and rogues with the poisoner archetype and the Master Poisoner ability can use Craft (alchemy) to produce poisons (see "How can alchemists craft in Pathfinder Society Organized Play?").

I am at a loss as to why Ninjas are not allowed to craft poisons by these rules.

Because Ninjas do not have a class ability that gives them the ability to craft poisons. Poisoner archetype Rogues can, only if they advance far enough to get the Master Poisoner special ability. Alchemists can, because Alchemists have the ability to do so.

I looked over those classes again, but while I saw the Poisoner archtype and that class gets a bonus to creating poisons, I didn't see that either class is granted the ability to make poisons through their base rules. That's governed by their skill selections, I would think..

Can you direct me to where Alchemists have anything other than Craft: Alchemy to do so? Ninjas also have that.. in-class... you know, so they can... use their posion use ability...

I'm just saying that it's a bum deal to not be able to make poisons to use with your Poison Use ability if you take the skills to do so... and it's creating a monetary difference in how much it costs an alchemist and a ninja to use their class abilities.
