New page

This acidic concoction delivers a fierce scourge that the enemy will feel acutely, causing them to cry out in pain and make a saving throw. A success will mean that the victim will suffer 1-4 additional damage over and above the damage caused by the weapon. There will be no other effects.

If the saving throw fails, the amount of damage will be 3-12. If the weapon and poison (added together) succeed in producing a wound, suurbite will cause 1 additional hit point of damage in excess to that normally caused by bleeding. Additionally, the area that is hit will produce a wide burn, typically 4-6 inches across. If this is thereafter aggravated by clothes, armour or other equipment, the character will suffer a -1 penalty to their action points. This table will sufficiently determine the location of the hit.

The first hit will deplete the amount of dose on the weapon, so that following hits will have only a 1 in 8 chance of the poison touching the victim. Success is also much reduced, so that a saving throw will reduce additional damage to 1 point. A failed saving throw will cause only 1-4 additional damage above the weapon. The poison will no longer have sufficient strength to affect the victim's wounds or action points.

A third touch is possible, but the chance is reduced to 1 in 12, with a successful saving throw discounting the effects completely. A failed saving throw will cause only 1-2 additional damage above the weapon.

Suurbite can be subdivided into one-third doses for use with arrows and bolts, which will produce the effects of a second-touch above (+1-4 damage per hit, +1 if save, no additional effects).
