Playing Iron Gods,(still), and was reading the Valley of the Brain Collectors, and radiation came up. I read the Technology Guide, and it describes radiation as a poison effect. There are 2 PCs which are immune to poison, a monk, and a barb. Soooo, are they immune to radiation? Seems like a straight yes, but, not sure if it's saying radiation is LIKE a poison effect, in that it drains con, and damages strength, or if it IS a poison effect and should be treated normally as if it was poison. Thanks in advance.
P.S. On a secondary note, just out of curiosity, how long should it take to generally get through an adventure path such as Iron Gods? We've been playing mostly every Saturday for about 6 months around 4-6 hours per session, and are just starting the 4th book. Are we unnecessarily dragging this out? Or does it seem about right? Or doesn't it really matter as long as everyone is enjoying it?
thanks again!
Immune.
My group usually takes a little over a year to complete an adventure path. We play every other weekend for about 6 hours We actually have a second group playing a different campaign on the other weekends, but it's not the same group in each (though I am in both). So you seem like you're about on track in my opinion. Honestly, combats just take a lot of time.
As far as whether poison immunity protects you from radiation...
Removing Radiation Effects: All radiation damage is a poison effect, and as such it can be removed with any effect that neutralizes poison. Ability damage and drain caused by radiation damage can be healed normally.
Based on that and based on the statement that "Radiation is a poison effect" I believe immunity to poison would protect you from radiation.

Thanks! That's what I thought, just needed some confirmation.
