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.
