Yes, paralysis is nice in many cases :) > Poison doing ability damage could be attrocious. A weak character could > have their mobility crushed because their strength is now 1.

There could be various types of poisons, reducing hp or sp or gr and such, and for high level monsters reduce attributes. I would argue players should take some precautions when fighting high level monsters, and check for this kind of attacks. Which would be an interesting use of the knowledge stuff, btw - when you spot a monster, if you know things about it, just popup information or give big traits - poison attack, warning! > The only problem I have with poison now is how long it lasts and how long > you might be expecting to deal with it.

Then it should be rebalanced for players :) Nicolas -- Mon p'tit coin du web - http://nicolas.weeger.org
