They are not in the Core books, I checked.

06-24-07, 02:31 PM If you mean rules on Craft (poisonmaking), you can find it in Complete Adventurer or the BoVD.

If you mean creating entirely new poisonous substances, than you're SoL. There are rules for making new poisons in the d20 Modern Web Enhancement, but the Purchase DC system doesn't lend itself well to D&D economics.

06-24-07, 02:33 PM The last information I ever saw on it was in Song and Silence. It lists various poisons as well as poison creation DCs, if I recall correctly. After that I have never seen it anymore. Perhaps Book of Vile Darkness has information about it as well? Sounds right up its alley. Another good place to check would be Complete Scoundrel. (I don't own either of those two btw so I can't check for you but they seem like logical places for such rules to be.)

Whenever someone in my groups want to do it we usually use a lot of guesswork, comparing the effect and DC of the poison to existing creature poisons, if there are hard and fast rules for poisonmaking I'd really like to know about them as well.

06-24-07, 06:15 PM The BOVD doesn't have any rules on making new poisons only on in-character crafting them.

There are, though, some well-balanced (if unofficial) poison inventing rules here (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=751305).
