Purple Worm Toxin

Purple Worm Toxin is a Consumable (Coating). It can be applied to a weapon to give it special properties for ten turns or thrown as a Grenade to inflict its effects in an area.

If the poison is ⁠potent enough, even the smallest pinprick can fugue the brain and turn the capillaries to shrivelled tubes.

Notes

• When multiple targets are struck at the same time by an AoE attack that uses a weapon coated in this toxin, only a single target can be affected by the toxin at a time.

Bugs

• Due to an incorrect line of code,  Advantage on  Saving throws against being  Poisoned, such as from  Dwarven Resilience,  Strongheart Resilience and  Protection from Poison, has no effect on the saving throw against being affected by this toxin.
• On damaging a target with a weapon coated by this toxin, the description of a hidden technical passive states in the combat log that the affected entity takes half damage if it succeeds a Constitution saving throw. This is not true; on a successful throw, it does not receive the damage-applying condition at all.
