I had 4 characters who tested poison resistance several times.
I conducted tests with bloodburn. HAving a specific character that was infected with bloodburn over 300 times over a lifespan of 50 days, I can conclude that there is nothing like poison resistance... OR, it's so small that's almost ineffective

Isn't it possible to have a crit fail on your poison resistance? I seem to recall reading about comas from grishen or heramide, and something about necks snapping from terradin. Not something I'd want to test, myself.

I'd be interested in taking a look if you do and running some stats on it |

I'd be interested in taking a look if you do and running some stats on it havent looked at that, my perception of resistance was whether body prevented getting poisoned or not.. i always took pills immediately after. if it slowed down the poison, thats an angle i never thougt of, sad  but preventiing ot reducing the rate of getting poisoned, that s not happening by high resistance |

there is a hidden poison resistance stat, as well as spice and magick resistance stats. whether or not any or all of them are working as intended is a whole other ball of wax. they exist when you score/stat/skills as a staff member, both for pcs and npcs alike. how they're intended to work isn't exactly explained anywhere I've ever seen, so... that's the guess of the coders and admin+ I'm guessing. as I don't play anymore, I'm not particularly concerned with any of it.

From what I noticed, after having a character that was poisoned multiple times....because of not being dodgy enough. the only thing that seemed to happen after a while, it started taking longer for the poison to kick in. After a while I could nearly get to Tuluk before I started taking damage. I think that's what poison resistance does.
Purely anecdotal of course.

Pretty sure I remember hearing someone say that _tol variables DO exist, but they aren't coded to anything in particular. Also. Pretty sure we were at that plant together, yo, because throwing the plant was my idea. |

If you were, that shit ended tragically. Had to pass off a bag and say, OOC, It's virtually in there. Then be like, "Well, hope you're fucking happy, that was damn costly as fuck." shit pretty much killed everything I had going on at the time and resulted in a slow descent into tok-stomping madness. Then I got Nyr'ed. Figured they could at least let it run to its inevitable IC conclusion, but I guess that was unacceptable for some reason. It's a big part of WHY I'm against neutral GMHs doing things for "political favor", screw that noise, if they want favor, they'll give you a discount, oh, they do already, in that case, piss off.

There's a like poison that's consumable. I've seen people using it to....what I assume is build up immunity. The black pills. Those knock you out, and are for roleplay purposes. But they do help you build a tolerance. i've used them on a few pc's |
