Poisons, Antitoxins and Antidotes: 101

[Innocent Bystander]

I'm starting a new campaign this weekend and one of the players wants to play a rogue that uses poisons. Now I don't have a problem with this (the local authorities might ), but I'd like to understand Antitoxins and Antidotes a little better.

I'm asking for some relatively simple comments on how Antitoxins and Antidotes are created and would work. What would be some good DnD ingrediants to use for an antidote or antitoxin for the more common (if there is such a thing) poisons. What would the craft DCs be for making these items, and how would one price them?

Badger's blood is one. Badgers have something in their blood that counteracts snake poisons.

I found Toxicant (http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=684&) to be quite good and it contains the game rules you want.

I don't know how good some of the other ones are on the subject.

Have a good one! Take care!
