I've just got my PHB. Woohoo.

In the last edition of the Playtest rules there was definition about the poisons and use of the poisoner's kit. This has gone in the PHB. My assassin Rogue.

So will there be rules for the use and making of poisons in the DMG?

What do I do in the meantime?

For now you can use the Crafting rules at p.187 to craft the basic poison. So 20 days a vial.

 

Since it adds possibly 1d4 damage for a minute (reliability depending on CON and save proficiency of the target), it's still kinda useable.

My guess is that poisons will be featured in the DMG, coming up in November. You could always ask your DM if he's cool with using (adapted) playtest rules on poisons.

Thanks for the suggestions.
