Howdy. I felt this should be asked. The following feats are the Rogue poison feats. I am asking about the "simple poison" you get Lv times per day.
Is this interation of poison a one off? i.e. The rogue hits, they take poison damage. There is no saves, its just "poison type damage"
or.
is this suppose to work like normal poison, and they need to take a save (Against your class DC I assume). and if so.. What progression does this take? Onset? etc.

I am sort of assuming it is mean to be a one off extra damage.. but honestly it reads very weird. This would also be the only instance (that I know of) with poison damage that isn't related to saves, onset etc. Not that detail matters much, unless there is something that has poison weakness anyway.

but I felt this should be clarified

POISON WEAPON FEAT 4
Requirements You are wielding a piercing or
slashing weapon and have one hand free.
You apply a poison to the required weapon. Your next attack with
that weapon before the end of your next turn gains the following
enhancement. If you miss, the poison is wasted.
Enhancement (Poison) You apply the effects of a poison you
have collected or purchased, provided it can be delivered
by contact or injury. If you have no such poisons, you
can instead deliver a simple poison that deals 1d4 poison
damage. You can only deliver a simple poison in this manner
a number of times per day equal to your level.
IMPROVED POISON WEAPON FEAT 8
Prerequisites Poison Weapon
When you apply a simple poison with Poison Weapon, the
poison enhancement deals 2d4 extra poison damage instead of
1d4 extra. In addition, you don’t waste a poison you apply with
Poison Weapon on a failed attack roll (though you still waste it
on a critical failure).
