Bitter Kiss

Bitter Kiss
Form Blade venom
Call Bitter Kiss
Onset Instantaneous
Duration Instantaneous
Ingredients 2 viper venom, 3 oil
Cost 5 work units
Key words Alchemist / Combat
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.

Notes:

  • 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.
