Why is the dex check to apply so high? I mean, you don't want to poison yourself, but most poisons you put on a weapon won't hurt you if you get it on your skin. The poison has to enter the bloodstream for it to have an effect, hence why it's put on a weapon. Moreover, couldn't you apply the posion to the weapon even if you spilled some of it on yourself? Or is that actually how it works, that the poison is applied, it's just a dex check to see if you poison yourself in the process? (I've never really tried it, though others have tried to explain it to me.... I have some poison, maybe I should give it a shot)

Or am I am entering this discussion so late that the point is moot?

Unfortunately, while increasing the DC and duration are easy, "poisoning a weapon" is built into the game by Bioware, so drastically changing the mechanics would be non-trivial.


I hope for the sake of bioware's
(or is it obsidian now?) continued NWN fan base that NWN2 is not so criminally obtuse on the system side of things.
