Poison and Defanging

Post by Gressiar » Wed Aug 02, 2017 3:17 pm

Quick question here. When the combat maneuver Defang is used to reduces the creature's poison step by 2, would this negative apply to the poison already applied to a player. For instance if a player was already poisoned by a Shadowmant at full strength (Step: 10, Type: Deadly, Interval: 10/1 round), would the Defang option reduce the difficulty of the toughness test a player needs to make to stop the effects of the poison?

I agree with Razan, it looks like it damages the beast's ability to _inject_ an effective dose of poison, doesn't affect the poison itself.

That is the intention -- it affects future attacks, not any poison or venom already in effect.
