Pathfinder Society 2e - Poison and ammunition

[Danscath]

I know there's a lot of post about this, mostly before the errata of corebook but I need if possible a official answer. This is the thing

I have a poison, for example GIANT CENTIPEDE VENOM with the traits; ALCHEMICAL, CONSUMABLE, INJURY, POISON and im using a bow as weapon so i want to apply this poison to my attacks.

After the errata, the injury pragraph said:

Injury: An injury poison is activated by applying it to a weapon or ammunition, and it affects the target of the first Strike made using the poisoned item

Without especify if 1 piece of ammunition or multiple, if u apply the RAW rule, should be 1 piece of ammunition right. But there's another item, silvershenn which share 2 traits, cause it is a alchemical consumable item like the poison but not a injury poison type.

ALCHEMICAL, CONSUMABLE.

This item said "You can slather this silvery paste onto one melee weapon, one thrown weapon, or 10 pieces of ammunition" this one said 10 pieces of ammunition so im guessing why not a alchemical, consumable poison cant be use on 10 pieces of ammunition?

Following with the text of injury poison:
On a failed Strike, the target is unaffected, but the poison remains on the weapon and you can try again. On a critical failure, or if the Strike fails to deal slashing or piercing damage for some other reason, the poison is spent but the target is unaffected.

So if u use ammunition this can happen:
If u hit, the target must take a fortitude check, like melee

If u miss, the target is unnafected and u lost the arrow but u have another 9 arrows, like melee weapon u dont lost the poison for more attackas

If u crit miss, well u mess up so hard and u lost the poison cause ur position make it wasted on the quiver or something like that, u miss the poison like melee weapon.

------------
Of course, if u focus on RAW rule, this is pointless, 1 item RAW specify 10 pieces and one rule RAW don't specify nothing.

Specific rules of the item Silversheen do not change anything about applying poison.

There is not any reason to think that missing with a poisoned arrow would cause another arrow to become poisoned. The ammunition that had the poison on it is destroyed on use, hit or miss.

I believe this thread is in the wrong forum. I don't see anything in the question that is about PFS rather than about the general rules of Pathfinder 2E.

Poison is apply once, hit once, done.

Silver sheen is apply once, weapon is silver for an hour.

They are completely different use cases.

So we're saying that it takes an entire vial to coat a greatsword as it does an arrowhead?

[HammerJack]

That is the rule here, yeah.

[TwilightKnight]

Terribly illogical rule, but I agree with upthread it is not an org play issue so should be moved.

[FLite]

You don't coat a weapon in poison usually. Just the edge.

[TwilightKnight]

True, but it would take a lot more to coat both long edges of a great sword or similar weapon to ensure exposure compared to an arrowhead or spear tip. It just seems like the 10:1 ratio is a relatively fair and reasonable one. It also takes into account the idea that if you miss with a melee weapon, it’s still there and you try again, with ammunition you lose the delivery method on a miss.

While I don't disagree with your logic in a real world setting, allowing a batch of arrows/bolts/other ammo to all get poisoned at the same time would cause balance problems. Or at least I think it would.
