Toxic Sludge Poison
Poison, Injury
This injury poison is derived from toxic waste accumulated from acid rains. Sometimes, oozes formed by these corrosive downpours can also be sources of the necessary components. The substance is a volatile mix of acid and poison, requiring careful handling and expertise to extract and prepare.
Extraction and Preparation. To gather the raw materials, one needs to collect toxic waste or extract essence from oozes spawned by acid rain. This requires a successful DC 20 Wisdom (Survival) check. The person must be proficient with Alchemistβs Supplies to attempt this. Refining the raw materials into a usable poison demands the use of an alchemist's supplies and a successful DC 15 Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check during a long rest.
Application. Applying the Toxic Sludge Poison to a weapon is done with a poisoner's kit. It requires an action and a successful DC 10 Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check. Once applied, the poison remains potent on the weapon for 1 minute.
Effects. A creature hit by a weapon coated with this poison must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 16). On a failed save, the creature takes 3d6 poison damage and 3d6 acid damage, and it is poisoned for 1 minute. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and isn't poisoned.
If a creature is reduced to 0 hit points by a weapon coated with this poison, its body dissolves into a toxic sludge. This sludge creates a 10-foot radius of difficult terrain centered on the corpse for 1 minute. Creatures that move through this area take 2d4 acid damage and 2d4 poison damage for every 5 feet they travel. The individual who applied the poison is immune to the toxic sludge's effects.
Cost. Crafting Toxic Sludge Poison requires 1400 gp worth of specialized reagents in addition to the extracted materials.
