Poisoner

The poisoner subclass allows the rogue to delve into creating, utilizing, and enhancing all manners of poisons to deliver fatal blows or chip away at an enemy's health with poison over battle up close. I honestly feel like Tasha's cauldron's feat of Poisoner while it may have been a good effort was definitely not enough to bring poisons into the limelight even though they're so varied and can and should be much more present in games. If you ever want to try it out, please let me know, or give me your first impressions if you feel it's lacking or too strong. Thank you!
