The Dagger of Venom appears to be a +2 Dagger but its hilt holds a hidden reservoir of poison. On any attack roll of 1-5, a fatal dose of poison is injected into the opponent. The reservoir holds 6 doses of poison and will automatically refill at midnight each night. The poison causes instant death (reduced to -10 HP and lose 1 HP per round) with a failed Normal save. With a successful save, the target takes 2d6 points of damage per round for 2d4 rounds.
Note that a dose of poison is used anytime a natural roll of 05 or less is made, even if the target is immune to poison (e.g., undead, golem, etc.). |
