Description

Deathblade Poison is a corrosive venom that appears as an unusual swirling mixture of black with an ephemeral blue sheen glistening off the top of the liquid. Handling the poison is extremely dangerous, as it need only make contact with the skin to begin working. Once it does, the poison rapidly spreads, the necrotic chemical eating away at any living matter it comes into contact with, rendering flesh inert slowly eroding it. A single drop can kill animals as large as Elephants, if nothing is done within the next several minutes. To a humanoid, contact with the poison usually means death in just under a minute.

Lore

Deathblade Poison is not a naturally occurring chemical. It is created by the blending of several common snake venom, mixed with a necroplant known as Shadowleaf. While not dangerous by itself, when combined with other toxic chemicals, its latent properties enhance poison with an aggressive additive that eats away at living flesh. This poison is heavily favored among assassins and unscrupulous rogues for its ability to effectively finish off an opponent after a single strike, allowing for a quick escape. Unsurprisingly, Deathblade Poison is illegal in most civilized societies, and must be purchased in underground Black Markets.
