Shattered Kingdoms

I'm honestly not sure if this has ever been brought up before as a suggestion, but I thought it'd be interesting, and would definitely like to hear everyone's opinions.



Edit: Oh, and I forgot to add that the purpose of this skill would be to apply the poison to weapons.

I by no means think that the game NEEDS this skill or anything, but I think it would be very fun and interesting, and a great addition. Please discuss! Both positive and negative feedback is appreciated.

I like this idea.

Bards seems like a longshot.

I've always thought that it was kind of silly that rogues and scouts couldn't poison, however, being as rogues were sneaky assassin types and being as scouts were herbalists, who in fact currently pick poisonous herbs but can't do anything with them.

I think that a 'cause wounds' aspect to this would be rather sillly. I'd more prefer to see the 'poison' affect itself, such as what you get from having that cast on you, as well as possibly weaken and slow, and perhaps other maledictions from special and rare poisons. I've always kind of thought that the posion affect in this game was vastly underpowered, and should feel a little less like 'Oh, well, I should get this cured before I need to regenerate hp-mana-move' and a little more the way magma cling feels.

IMO, scouts and rogues should both get the ability to apply these to weapons. Scouts should be able to craft them from herbs as part of the herbalism skill, while rogues should be able to buy them wholesale or from scouts, and be able to explore/quest to unlock/find certain secret rogue-only poison shops.

There are poisons in the game rogues can get and 'dip' their weapons into. Actually anyone can do this but only rogues know where to get said poisons.
