=======Poisons=======
Poison damage is caused by the introduction of poison into a creature's body. It can be delivered by ingestion, or by a blade or arrow coated with the poison. The severity of the damage depends on the type of poison, and the dose delivered. Any poison from a natural source can be collected and applied via a poisoned weapon

Poison that is delivered by an attack takes effect in the following round

Light attacks administer a half dose, while all other damage categories administer a regular dose. You may make a [[abilities#Ability check|Strength Check]] against the DC of the poison to reduce the effects of a full dose to a half dose, or to ignore the effects of a half dose
