Venom Spur to fuel Needler

[Galomier]

Hello,

I am new to Starfinder, or any futuristic d20 game for that matter, and was wondering if 1.anyone else has had the idea of "milking" a venom spur augment as a poison for the Needler guns and 2. if it is acceptable via the rules?

I haven't read all the rules but I can't see anything prohibiting the spur being used this way. As an example say it takes 6 days to travel from one place to another. The venom spur produces 1 injection of poison per day and is refilled after a long rest. So during this downtime my character would inject the spur 6 times into a storage vile to be kept in the ships lab until needed giving him 6 doses of 2d6 poison for his Needler rifle. My GM has accepted this idea and even allows the venom to be stored for long periods since real world studies have shown that snake venom stored for decades is still lethal.

I have looked through some threads and not come across this concept anywhere.

Milking venom from familiars, animal companions, defeated monsters, etc. has long been a thing people try to do at tables.

As far as I'm aware, there are no rules for it, so it's GM discretion.

In the past I've seen it being allowed as you describe, or the player required to pay the crafting cost of the poison to successfully store it long term, or disallowed entirely.

If your GM allows it, not much to worry about. From what I looked through I don't see anything from stopping you except for maybe the crafting element?

Milked venom tends to be held at very cold temperatures as your average fridge could still lead to denaturing the material. You would also have to use different vials every time. I would think constantly pulling the same one out to fill would risk contamination or damaging previous material.
