I do not know if this goes here but me and my DM are having an issues with the specific rules of poisons. In the DMG there is a line that says you can not apply a poison in any quantity less then 1 does, and that got me thinking what exactly does 1 does of poison cover? I read a line of text in a book that I can not remember, that said "1 does coats 1 longsword blade, 1 does coats 2 short sword blades, or 1 does coats 20 arrows or bolts." If any one knows the rules of poisons or knows anything at all on this subject it would be greatly apreciated.

I am indeed talking about 3.5

As far as I know(in 3.5), one dose is equal to one attack.

Please specify edition.

4E: There are no categorical rules for using poisons. Each type of poison specifies what you can apply it to, and what it does.

3.5: If I recall accurately, you can apply a dose of poison to a single melee weapon or one piece of ammunition, and is expended after one use.
