Default Re: Poison weapons

Possible solution to the poison bow problem is this:

Create a new poison bow ranged weapon with poison as the damage type
Add the mundane damage weapon ie ‘shortbow’ as a secondaryeffect

This should at least allow people with shields to parry the arrows – you still have the problem of armour not helping against poison when it should though (ie when you’d expect the poison only to apply if the projectile actually causes damage). You would however if the poison damage wasn’t automatically armour negating, which could be the case. I need to test this. You could then make stuff like poison blowpipes into an armour piercing weapon with a secondaryeffect of 1 capped mundane damage, if you felt that they should be able to hit unarmoured spots more often than arrows etc
