Contact poison


Rules Discussion


1)
So, rogue's Poison weapon feat allows you to apply contact poison on your weapon (and deliver it through the weapon attack) but in the live version, contact poison is specifically not delivered via an attack.

"Contact poisons are
infeasible to apply to a creature via a weapon attack due to
the logistics of delivering them without poisoning yourself."

is this an oversight/typo from the playtest version that contact poison could be applied to weapons, or is it simply something extra that rogue can do?

2)
contact poison "bomb". Since contact poison method of application is

"A contact poison is activated by applying it to
an item or directly onto a living creature’s skin"

and the method of doing so is an Interact action.

Can you simply "pour a vial" of contact poison on a target? (interact action as per the rules, or attack action as per logic?)
Can you throw a vial of contact poison on a target? (ranged attack like a bomb probably?)

As the rulebook says specific overrides general in playing the game.

Yes as of right now, it's exclusive to Rogue. The poison weapon class feat even says "Only you can apply these poisons properly".

We know that the poisoner archetype has been announced for the APG, so probably will be more widely available next summer 2020.

As far as I can tell, contact poison does not need any roll to apply to an enemy? Isn't that strange?
