Preparing poison
During downtime between two adventures, a character can use the following rules to attempt to create a poison himself if he has proficiency with the poisoner's kit. But not all the
ingredients for a poison are always available for purchase, and the search for certain ingredients could even be the basis of a whole adventure. Poisoner's kit proficiency applies to
subsequent rolls if the character does not have proficiency in Nature or Arcana skill.

Regarding their manufacture, poisons can be classified into four categories:

Vegetal. Plant-based substance. These poisons are the easiest to access. The milder ones are often used by hunters. For someone who has proficiency with the poisoner's kit,
recognizing the plant is not the most complicated. The challenge is to hide its smell or color. Crafting takes 1d6 minutes and then need a DC 15 Intelligence (Nature) check. If
successful, the character recovers enough poison to constitute a dose. If unsuccessful, the character wastes all the raw material. If the roll fails by 5 or more, the character is also
subject to the effect of the plant's poison.

Venom. Substance produced by the glands of an animal. Generally more violent than vegetal poisons, venoms are also more difficult to obtain. For crafting, a character can attempt to
collect the toxin from a creature, such as a snake, wyvern, or carrion crawler. The creature must be incapacitated or dead, and the recovery takes 1d6 minutes and then need a DC 20
Intelligence (Nature) check. If successful, the character recovers enough poison to constitute a dose. If unsuccessful, the character is unable to extract the poison. If the roll fails by 5
or more, the character is also subject to the effect of the creature's poison.

Toxin. Substance that does not exist in nature in its raw state. Toxins are usually produced by alchemists. For the production, proficiency with alchemist's supplies is essential. The time
required depends on the selling price (see table below) and requires a DC 20 Intelligence (Nature) check. If successful, the character generates enough poison to constitute a dose. If
unsuccessful, the process fails and the raw material is lost. If the roll fails by 5 or more, the character is also subject to the effect of the poison of his experiment.

Mixture. Substance produced by magic. The mixtures require powerful spells and are made by wizards or clerics (3rd level minimum). The time required depends on the selling price
(see table below) and requires a DC 20 Intelligence (Arcana) check. If successful, the experiment generates enough poison to constitute a dose. If unsuccessful, the process fails and
the raw material is lost. If the roll fails by 5 or more, the character is also subject to the effect of the poison of his experiment.
