Slow Burn
Slow burn is a paste crafted from a dozen rare weeds that grow in the arctic wasteland
north of the civilized lands. When it comes in contact with flesh it instantly begins dis-
olving the skin (initial damage takes place immediately) and keeps burning for a few min-
utes (1d4 minutes) constantly damaging the victim.
Spiders Venom
A concentrated form of poison extracted from a rare spider found only deep under-
gound, this poison is a greenish/gray in color and slightly thicker than water. Spiders
Venom is odorless when fresh but, if it has been exposed to air for more than a week, it
takes on a damp, moldy smell.
Spine Crusher
This orange liquid is derived from the root of a large tree that grows in the western
forests. The root must be crumbled and crushed, then mixed with the powdered remains
of an animated skeletons skull. The liquid, once ingested, eats away at the victims bones,
destroying them from within. Only magical healing can reverse the effects of this poison.
Spirit Touch
This gray ointment is created from the ectoplasmic secretions of a ghost or other super-
natural creature. The ectoplasm must be mixed with unholy water and cursed by an evil
priest.
The ointment works as a contact or injury poison. Initial damage takes place two rounds
after delivery and is identical to the Ghost template ability, Corrupting Touch. Secondary
damage, taking place five rounds after initial damage, is one negative level.
Taste of the Dagger

This thick, liquid poison is used by assassins and murderers to coat bladed weapons.
The poison is brown in color and has the odor of wet dog. Taste of the Dagger is made
from a mixture of the juices of a dead mans eyes and the blood of the person crafting the
poison.
The poison can also be mixed into foods or drinks though it is not as damaging when
used in this way.
Twisted Root
This is the root of a small tree that grows along the coast of large seas, often on a cliff-
side. The root is chopped into fine twigs which are then boiled to create a thin soup or
weak tea. This mixture, when ingested, creates mild stomach discomfort in the victim
which then slowly turns to great physical pain. (Initial damage takes place three rounds
after ingestion and secondary damage takes affect 24 hours later.)
