Help me make a poison for a cult of Zon Kuthon


Homebrew and House Rules


The group is level 3, and I'm going to let one of them (the evil cleric) get poison use and access to the poison.

I'm thinking:

La Petit Morte ( POISON )
Type poison, Injury, Contact; Save Fortitude DC 13
Frequency 1/minute
(Onset: 10 minutes for Contact)
Initial Effect; Target is Fascinated and 1d2 con drain, 1d2 cha drain
Secondary Effect: Shaken, exhausted, 1 damage per minute; Cure 1 save

Originally developed by the druids of Shades of the Duskwood, this poison is a fermented variation on a naturally occurring poison. In its original form, its a mild sedative and aphrodesiac, but fermented, it represents Zon Kuthon's ideals perfectly- It deals pain that the victim doesn't even notice due to the overwhelming 'pleasure'. Oddly for a poison, its a powder that can be sprinkled on items to be used as a contact poison, mixed with a liquid and painted/poured on an item, or mixed with oil to coat weaponry.

Is this too powerful for a level 3 player?
What should the market value be?

Essentially, it forces them to... er.. climax, and take damage. (Hence, fascinated).

I thought about making it contain a low version of unnatural lust, but that may get awkward with players...


Shouldn't that be "La Petite Mort"? My French is rusty though...
Also: the flavour, while, eh... flavourful, might not sit well with every group. But I'm sure you know your own players well enough.
Having a poison act upon injury and contact seems a bit superfluous.

It's potent, but poisons aren't usually very useful for PCs, unless they're used not in combat, but in (anti-)social encounters. So I wouldn't worry too much.
