Poisoner and Chelish Deathapple


Rules Questions


Hi all,
Most poisons seem to be standardized...come in vials, etc...but a few differ from this and one of them is the Chelish Deathapple:

"Weight 1/2 lb.

This poison is culled from specially bred thornapples, and is often administered on the skin of an apple itself. It is typically employed to fake the deaths of dissidents so their disappearances don’t attract attention. Creatures in the deathlike trance this poison causes are unconscious and can’t be woken by mundane means; a successful DC 25 Heal check is required to realize the victim is alive. The victim can be shaken from this trance with any magical healing (including lesser restoration, as appropriate)."

If one does not consider the onset of 1 minute, it is a quite interesting KO poison if changed to a more versatile delivery type (contact, injury or inhalant)...

...but I was wondering:

The actual weight could be changed?

The 1/2 lb. is obviously because "it is often administered on the skin of an apple itself"...but my point is if the poison could be converted (also back to ingested) in order to have the usual (vial) format...is it possible?

I was also thinking about turning it into contact poison and then use it through vector ink by sending it as a parchment to the enemies... XD

Also I was wondering how this might be managed in a PFS context...since this 1/2 lb. weight for a poison is simply an anomaly (in my opinion was an example of bad design, since the apple could be the 'typical delivery method'...which is nice, but is fluff!)...
