This is important mainly for PFS legality, which explicitly lists Bloodroot as a legal poison for characters with the Poison Use ability.

There are two versions of Bloodroot, and normally I'd be fine with just taking the later version, but in this case, the conflict is between Core and Ultimate Equipment:

Bloodroot in Core:
Type poison, injury; Save Fortitude DC 12
Onset 1 round; Frequency 1/round for 4 rounds
Effect 1 Con damage and 1 Wis damage; Cure 1 save

Bloodroot in Ultimate Equipment:
Type poison, injury; Save Fortitude DC 12
Onset 1 round; Frequency 1/round for 4 rounds
Effect 1 Con damage and 1 Wis damage and confusion 1 round; Cure 1 save

The Confusion effect is a MASSIVE improvement. Which is the correct version for the purposes of PFS (and just, which is the correct one for PF in general?)


IIRC, there was a statement made to the effect of if something is reprinted, unless campaign clarifications say to use one version, both versions of something are legal if they are allowed (and that both are legal in non-pfs PF as well).

Also as this thread is not a rules question, this belongs in the PFS forums.
