Poisoning is a supplemental skill to strengthen and enable Infectious Strike as well as dose foods with poison.

Usage

Use the poisoning skill and select the poison and your target. The target can include food or weapons.

A weapon must be poisoned before it can deliver an Infectious Strike. The Poisoning skill replaces Tactics in the requirements to use this move.

Formula

Poisoning skill to dose an object with poison:

  • Lesser Poison - 0-60
  • Poison - 30-70
  • Greater Poison - 60-100
  • Deadly Poison - 95-100

If the dosing attempt fails, the poisoner has a 5% chance to harm themselves with the targeted poison.

When delivering an Infectious Strike, there is a chance equal to poisoning skill to increase the rank of the applied poison by one (ie. from greater to deadly).

Differences from Ultima Online

In addition to poisoning weapons and food, higher levels of this skill improved the effectiveness of the Poison and Poison Field spells. Poisoning skill also granted a natural poison resistance of 20% of the player's poisoning skill.

Prior to that, a weapon that had been poisoned could be used by anyone and would have a chance to poison a target with each hit.
