Poison

Every poison has a Potency rating, which measures its toxicity. When poison is ingested or otherwise introduced into the body of its victim, the victim makes a CON roll in an opposed resolution against a Potency roll (i.e., 1d20 vs. Potency score) made by the Gamemaster. Check the CON roll result against the following chart.

CON ROLL	POISON EFFECT
CRITICAL SUCCESS	NO EFFECT
SUCCESS	VICTIM IS UNHELTHY
PARTIAL SUCCESS	VICTIM IS UNHEALTHY AND TAKES DAMAGE EQUAL TO POTENCY MINUS CON
FAILURE	VICTIM IS UNHEALTHY, AND TAKES DAMAGE EQUEAL TO POTENCY
FUMBLE	VICTIM IS UNHEALTHY, AND TAKES DAMAGE EQUAL TO POTENCY X2
