Drow Poison affliction duration


Rules Questions


I'm not sure this is exactly a rules question, but maybe I misunderstand how the mechanics work?

Injury 13 — 1/min. for 2 min. Unconscious 1 min./2d4 hrs. 1 save 75 gp

Maybe, I'm assuming too much to think that it's actually based on the 3.5 poison of the same name which only ever required a single additional save vs the secondary effect, but as I read it in PFRPG:

Injured with Drow Poison, failed save = unconscious 1min
1 min later, failed save = +2d4 hours unconscious
1 min later, failed save = +2d4 hours unconscious

Just curious if this is an intentional buff, unless the unconscious durations are supposed to overlap instead of stack?


They seem to overlap not that 1 minute matters if you are sleeping for hours.


The initial minute duration is always over before the first secondary effect unless you have one of those specialty poisoner builds.

The question is more about legacy congruency.
