'Poison Dagger'

Unread post by Tsidkenu »

So I'd been tossing up trying this for the longest time because 80,000 gp seemed a big gamble on this item (available from S'liz the Shadow in UD and prolly Roaringshore/Thieve's Guild merchant somewhere). The stats are as follows:

EB +2
On Hit Poison DC 16 1d2 Strength
On Hit Poison Nightshade

It was the latter property which drew my curiosity because it just doesn't say anything about what 'Poison Nightshade' is or does. So I took the gamble today and I must say I am very underwhelmed. DC 10 poison? For 80k?

Yeah, S'liz, you gypped me. Well done.

Could the cost of this dagger
1. Be lowered to something that is not stupid, now that everyone knows how useless it is or,
2. The Poison Nightshade DC be increased or changed to something that actually merits an 80k price tag.

Thanks for your consideration~~

yea the dagger is crap, its popped up more than a few times before

but yea its something about the property that costs a lot and either way you look at it, poison properties are not worth it because they dont stack

maybe letting you cast the spell poison would be decent but if you are not a caster or INT based assassin the DC will probably still suck
everyone is evil till proven otherwise
