touch attack poison?


Rules Questions


Is there some way of delivering poison as a touch attack? Or similar? I am thinking of the sequence in the order of the stick when kabuto iirc kills the half-orc ninja with a touch attack ring with poison in it. Like the best poison money can buy.

Is there a ring or such like that in pathfinder?


There is the spell Poison, which is delivered as a touch attack. Maybe a ring of spellstoring with that in it can simulate that?

Otherwise, a DM can invent anything...I did not use much poison that way, but I used each of the classics at least once: the ring of the sorcerer in The Scarlet Citadel (Conan story), the poisoned book (Name of the Rose, St. Bartholomews Night), the poisoned key (pope Alexander VI.), the poison grail (the inside coating poisons the fluid in it), etc....


The feat Pinpoint Poisoner lets you poison as a touch attack.

Poisoner's Gloves.

You can also deliver potions this way. As in potions of things like shocking grasp or force punch.

Liberty's Edge

Or an alchemist can whip up any old contact/ injury poison for you. I've also seen poison storing daggers.
