Harvesting Poison?


Playing the Game


Have we heard any word on how players can go about harvesting poisons to make Alchemical Poison? It says for Alchemical Poisons that they had to be refined to be usable but nothing about obtaining the poison in the first place.

If we haven't I have no problem waiting until they can detail the methods and requirements to do so. Don't want to scew the Playtest results by trying to Homebrew a rule on getting and using poisons.

There aren't any rules for harvesting poisons. In PF1e those rules didn't even appear until I think Dirty Tactics Toolbox, though don't quote me on that. Prior to that I think for any poisons that directly referenced being from a creature the assumption was that the harvesting process was part of the Craft check to make it.

Definitely makes me want to see a Poisoner archetype though. Would be a pretty interesting class feat for them.
