Potion of Poison
A poison potion is simply a highly toxic liquid in a potion flask. Typically, poison potions are odorless and can be of any color. Ingestion, introduction of the poison through a break in the skin, or, in some cases, just skin contact, can cause death. Poison can be weak (+4 to +1 bonus to the saving throw), average, or deadly (-1 to -4 penalty or greater on saving throws). Some poison can be so toxic that a Neutralize Poison spell simply lowers the toxicity level by 40% - say, from a -4 penalty to a +4 bonus to the saving throw vs. poison. The DM selects the strength of poison desired, although most are strength "J" (see Poison). The DM may want to allow characters to hurl poison flasks.
