Poison use

[poundpuppy30]

Are there any feats anywhere that give you poison use so you can handle poisons and not poison yourself? I been trying to find one but don't have all the books. I notice some classes have the poison use but have yet to find a feat or skill that lets you do the same thing. Anyone know if a feat or skill lets you do the same thing?

I haven't seen any in Pathfinder materials. If your game allows access to 3.5 materials I know a feat that will grant poison use and a bonus on crafting poisons.

I believe the feat was called Master Alchemist or Master Poisoner, I would have to look it up. It is in the Drow of the Underdark book.

Not a feat, no. Cross-classing seems to be the only method currently. Bear in mind that poison use, nice as it seems, tends to run to big money and is frequently frustrating (high Fort saves are very common among potential targets, and immunity to poison not unheard of.)

Here is the feat I was talking about, it's called Master of Poisons:

Master of Poisons wrote:

Type: General

Source: Drow of the Underdark

You are highly trained and adept in the use of toxic substances.
Benefit: You can apply poison or oil to a weapon as a swift action, without provoking attacks of opportunity. In addition, you never risk accidentally poisoning yourself when applying poison to a weapon.
Normal: Normal: Applying poison or oil to a weapon is a standard action that provokes attacks of opportunity. When applying poison to a weapon, you have a 5% chance of accidentally poisoning yourself.

It wasn't a bonus to crafting, it was the ability use poisons and to apply them as a swift action. There is also a Pathfinder feat that gives a nice bonus to crafting poisons. That one is called Master Alchemist in the APG.
