03-04-07, 02:49 PM I was thinking about all the special things monks get, and for some reason:confused: I started thinking about how applying poison has a 5% chance of poisoning the poisoner. Since at a certain level (I forget which) monks are immune to poison of all kinds, does that mean they can poison as much as they want without worry?

Umm, I just looked it up on my SRD, and Monks aren't immune to Mummy rot.

Indeed. Pick up a toxic tooth, and spit black lotus extract in their eyes. Or soak your fists in dragon bile, and punch away. Just be sure to wash your hands afterwards. Thats just nasty, disease and poison immunity or no.

I'm not sure about monks and mummies, but you could just as easily substitute dire rats/otyughs/the liquid remains of a hobo killed by the slimy doom/the hobo's mad train wine. Tasty.

Even limited intelligence will cause beings to use advantages they have.
