Description	This powerful poison may be smeared on any bladed melee weapon. The wielder must call Bitter Kiss with the first blow with that weapon after applying. If the blow lands on an unarmoured location (or one with zero armour hits) and the target does not resist it, the location is reduced to zero physical hits. The wound can be healed as normal. The following rules apply to blade venoms: If the weapon is sheathed or set down after the venom is applied, the venom is assumed to have lost effectiveness. If the blow strikes an armoured location or is parried, the poison is wasted. If the blow misses altogether, the poison is not wasted, and the wielder may attempt to use it again on the next blow.
