The poisons will last until the target saves unless stated otherwise. 

Poisons. You learn how to make multiple poisons and tonics. You can use all of them listed below, but only apply one at a time to each separate weapon.

Poison save DC = 8 + proficiency + your DEX modifier

- It takes a bonus action to apply a poison to one weapon. The poison lasts 1 minute when applied. When you hit, the target must make a saving throw according to the poison against your poison save DC. 

- The poisons you add to your weapons add 2d4 poison damage on attacks.

- You have resistance to poison damage, and advantage on saving throws against being poisoned.

- You may only have one tonic on at a time. If you have more than one active at a time, you must make a DC saving throw of 12(increases by 2 for every additional tonic) or fall unconscious for a turn. Loosing all bonuses currently active.

 - You must craft each type of tonic or poison. What plants or costs are up to you and your DM. Talk to them, see if these types of plants exist or not.

- Each tonic and poison takes a total of 3 different plants to craft. Only you know how these concoctions are created. Each poison or tonic takes 4 hours to craft. When you craft one, you use all the material you acquired to craft it for one bottle. If you apply these poisons to arrows, you may cover 10 arrows per bottle.
