Poison Attacks

A unit with the poison attacks quality applies a -1 penalty to attack and defense to its target each time it deals damage. Some units have more powerful poisons, denoted by a number in parenthesis following the poison listing. These units apply a penalty equal to the number provided with each attack, rather than -1. Penalties from poison attacks stack, and remain until the end of battle. A unit that receives healing (such as from Battlefield Champion actions or a triage tent) reduces their poison penalty by 1 for each point of healing they receive.
