Poison Feats

[Matafuego]

Hello everybody!

Does anybody know if there are any feats around to change the poison of a monster?

Such as a feat who would change the type of poison damage (str to dex or con) or who would increase the damage (1d6 to 1d8, etc...).

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks a lot!

Not that I know of, but it seems completely reasonable to represent that with a feat, so I'd juts make the change you need and mark off one of the creature's feats. And arguably you don't even need to do that. Just change the poison and eyeball the change in CR, if any.

Thanks.
If it were for a new monster or a changed one I'd have no problem, but since it is for an Animal Companion I wanted to stay within the rules... Maybe I'm gonna make some new feats and post them over at the house rules stuff to see if they are balanced...

Well, the Ability Focus feat increases the save DC, which is kinda like more potent poison.

 

[Matafuego]

Yes IcyCool.
But that's the only one I found that did ANYTHING to poison, while there are several for spells or spell-like abilities.

Well, I decided to make my own and post them over at House Rules:

So if anyone want's to take a look and criticise me for being a venomous bastard, there they are.

And if anyone know of other similar feats, please tell me!

Hi!
Here are some feats that may help you create something workable with respect to poison:

Spit Poison; Prereq.: Dex 17, Ability Focus (poison), Base attack bonus +3, Special attack (poison delivered by bite); Benefit: Spit poison at a single target within 30 ft.; Source: Lords of Madness, p. 94.

Deadly Poison; Prereq.: Con 19, Poison special attack that deals ability damage as secondary damage, Virulent Poison; Benefit: Double secondary poison damage; Source: Savage Species, p. 31.

Virulent Poison ; Prereq.: Poison special attack as an extraordinary ability; Benefit: +2 to DC of Fort save against your poison; Source: Savage Species, p. 40.

Serpent's Venom; Prereq.: Ability to use wild shape; Benefit: Gain a poisonous bite attack for 1 minute; Source: Complete Divine, p. 84.

Enjoy!

Thanks a lot Scharlata!
Spit Poison and Deadly Poison sound very good!
Virulent Poison is kinda like Ability Focus but i think it should stack with it...

 

[javcs]

By the RAW, it stacks - they're both unnamed bonuses.

 

[Matafuego]

Great!
But... might any of these be OGC?
I think not, right? The Virulent Poison is a good feat to prerreq for new feats... And the Spit Poison is just adorable
