05-13-07, 01:56 PM i have a number of characters in this one campaign, including an assassin (he took levels in the class) and a wizard with high alchemy skill. i was wandering which poisons i should consider broachin to the DM about possibly being alchemically produced, i don't mean things like purple wurm venom or those thinngs, but how is deathblade actually produced?

thanks in adance

05-14-07, 01:40 PM There is nothing in Complete Adventurer about using Alchemy. I don't remember where I read it, but I seem to remember that you can use Alchemy but the DC to create is 5 higher. I'll see if I can find it somewhere.

05-14-07, 06:24 PM Far be it from me to start n argument but there is in fact information on alchemical substances and ways of delivery, it is the chapter after the new weapons are introduced, one of the alchemical items is a flash pellet, and ther is a list of poisons as well. i don't have it handy but i will post later .
