Poison Taker

Venom is one of the most common but unique adaptations the animal kingdom has bestowed to its beast. And poison can be found in all kinds of plants in the wilderness. Whether it be the venom of the mightiest Wyvern stinger or the cyanide in a mere appleseed, you have learned to harvest and extract these substances with expertise. With this knowledge, you have also learned how to incorporate this study into your prowess in combat, being able to temporarily deliver your own special brand of extremely debilitating and painful venom against those who dare fight you. And should one not be familiar with the pain of poison, they will when they meet you.
