Astral Serpent - am I missing something?

Hmmm. I swear it doesn't say "Death Poison" at the bottom of the description in my inv.

Exactly - it doesn't say that on mine either. I pulled the text I listed above from clicking on Astral Serpent under the equipped weapon list.

Are there other debilitating effects for poison beyond the additional DOT damage? And are such effects specific to the Category (I think there are 4 something like categories of poison: death, paralysis, strong, weak). I don't suppose there's some small chance of instant death with the death poison, is there?

Paralyzing Poison is the odd one out. It causes fatigue, not paralysis.

The only difference with the other poison types is the amount of damage they do. I know Death Poison does 35 damage (eventually). I don't remember how much strong and weak poison do. I think it's 5 points for weak, and 15 for strong. Don't quote me on that.
