Poisons and other effects.


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

So if a poison were to cause an effect that falls under another type is it considered both for the purposes of immunities?

Example:

Jackleroot Essence causes hideous laughter as it's effect, does this mean it counts as both a poison effect AND a mind affecting effect?

Or poisons like dreaming death (not specifically this poison though) that cause conditions like sleep, shaken, etc. Do these poisons count as sleep effects/fear effects/etc.

Shadow Lodge

Anything that causes the shaken condition is a fear effect.

It would be reasonable to extrapolate that anything creating sleep is a "sleep effect" and anything that mimics a mind-affecting spell would be a mind-affecting effect, unless otherwise specified.

For example, dreaming death states "This toxic sleep affects creatures normally immune to magical sleep effects."
