 The Poisoner skill can be used (with successful check) to identify potions, poisons, toxins, acids, and alchemical products discovered in the world.  If one has an alchemy kit (10gp 1 load, 2 SUP) the check is made at advantage.  If one has an Alchemy Workshop (500gp, in a fixed location), one can also make any of the venoms, toxins, or acids listed below.  To make a product it takes 1d4 days plus 1 day per 50gp (or fraction thereof) of list price, the required ingredients for the product, and a successful Poisoner check. If you have an Alchemical Laboratory and a trained assistant, the check is made with advantage.  The alchemical laboratory can also be used to create new poisons, the details of which must be worked out with the Campaign Judges.
-===== Poisons and Acids=====
-Here are a list of common harmful substances produced by poisoners.
-==== Venoms ====
+===== Venoms =====
 Poisoners may coat their weapons with these poisons to deliver extra damage along with a successful weapon attack. Each dose may only be used for one fight, and takes an Active action to apply. Some venoms are more powerful and require a higher DC check reflected by the Check Modifier.
-^Type^ Price/Dose^ Onset Time^ Check Modifier ^ Effect on Failed CON check^ Required Ingredients^
+When attacking with a venom-coated weapon, an attacker has a chance of poisoning themselves on a [[core mechanic|critical failure]]. Make a DEX check to see if the attacker accidentally poisons themselves in addition to any other effects. An attacker with the [[skills|Poisoner skill]], may make this check at Advantage. An attacker who poisons themselves must suffer the same effect delivered by the venom.
