Multiple poisons?

[Theroc]

If a base creature has a natural poison, and then by some means acquires a second natural poison via feats/templates etc... if it hits with an attack that would deliver each poison, does it deliver both poisons simultaneous?

Does it deliver one or the other? Does it lose one of the poisons?

 

[Jack Simth]

Not normally spelled out. In general, most people will assume that both apply. The person you need to ask is the DM.

It's hard to argue that it wouldn't deliver both if the feat/template doesn't specify anything in regards to preexisting poison. Logically, someone can be subject to two poisons and put two poisons on the same blade in real life, so I wouldn't see why it couldn't work that way.

 

[Theroc]

Well, logic doesn't always apply when it comes to RAW, so I thought I'd ask. I asked my DM and am waiting on a reply.

some systems hinge upon only one disease or poison being active at a time. i believe starwars d20 had a nanovirus that did this. or i could be wrong. at any rate, you get pricked by 7 poisonous arrows, you're in for a world of pain times seven.

on that topic, anyone know of a template that makes a normal touch poisonous? maybe to apply it to a carrion crawler...
