To get back to topic at hand...



Tested this a bit. Chance to apply poison with weapon hit seems low. This is just estimate but it seems 1 out of 8 hits or so actually poisons. In addition, at least war fork does very little damage against the test equipment. Didn't have a chance to test it with any other weapons yet.

I'm sure tweaks are still needed, but overall I like the changes. It brings variety to the system.

Sticking with the back-on-topic vibe:

Poison on weapons has a 50% chance to apply according to the script. But Cana is correct that in game it seems to apply a lot less frequently, it could be that there is a hidden cool down somewhere in another script which I have not yet found. Regardless, other than the restrictions made about axes and spears I have not changed the application mechanic so the rate of application and the number of charges given by a poison potion has not been changed.


As for the poison itself, once applied the poison from a weapon behaves identically (same script) as the poison from the spell.

I also agree that the spell takes input, and mana, and this means it should be superior. However, currently I believe it already is since it has range, at GM poisoning it is almost never resisted, and you are guaranteed to apply at the moment you need it, rather than at a random moment. Also, as Cana pointed out the Warfork is a weak weapon and so are most the other weapons that it can be applied to in the new system, so it is a sacrifice to your damage output to be able to poison with your weapon. The SDK, SDB and so on will need adjusting so they are not poison-able if these changes come in.
