Must be The poison

[thromnombulax]

Not sure where to post this and i'm sure i've read another request somewhere ; feel free to move it if its in the wrong place:)

How about getting some poison to put on our blades / arrows ?
Its an assassins tool and the use of it is also included in the Black Numenorean class as far as i remember, yet i have seen it nowhere as yet.

This is not a criticism or a whine, just a request :)

would love to see some poison aswell maybe the spiders can drop it on when killed.

Sounds good to me. Poisons with various different effects and names would be interesting rather than just one generic "poison".
Some ideas for effects (not all from one type!):
- obviously the usual penalties as per spider sting/bite.
- penalties to various physical skills (eg discipline, parry etc)
- blindness/deafness
- confusion
- paralysis

Also do people think that it would be out of character for good characters to use poisons or not? Not sure myself.

As well as being dropped more exotic poisons could be brewed from various components once the crafting system is implemented.

The "good" alignment descriptions would seem to preclude the use of poison, it being "wrong"and "dishonourable".
"Good Heart and Free Spirit" for Chaotics
"Honor (sic) and Compassion" for Lawfuls
Whilst a neutral good is " devoted to helping others", "doing the best that a good person can do".
Reading this, goods should never initiate combat either, seeking peaceful means to solve any disagreement (except maybe Chaotics or if faced with a race-enemy) only resorting to violence in self-defence. This would kind of fit in with the Third Age setting too, i can think of very few times when the Goods actively attacked; even when Mithrandir finally convinced the White Council that something was amiss at Dol Gulder, it was still only he who popped in to have a look.
What do you reckon?

i remember utt1!
there were several poisons to buy in minas thirit (when it was that shopping paradise :)) with different names and all what yyou were requesting... maybe these could be re-introduced...

I belive the use of damaging/lethal poisons would go against the good guys beliefs. Sleep, paralysys, undead specific toxins(have seen them on some servers, like a pasty holy water effect) would be something i belive the good guys could use.
