You can prepare and deliver deadly poisons, gaining the following benefits:
- When you make a damage roll, you ignore resistance to poison damage.
- You can coat a weapon or a piece of ammunition in poison as a bonus action, instead of an action.
- You gain proficiency with the poisoner’s kit if you don’t already have it. When you take this feat you gain the ability to craft various poisons that are outlined in the table below. To do so requires one hour of work using your poisoner's kit and expending 50 gp worth of materials. You can create a number of doses equal to your proficiency bonus. Poisons created in this way retain their potency for a number of days equal to your proficiency modifier or as described below.
- Once applied, a poison retains potency for 1 minute or until you hit with the weapon. When a weapon coated in this poison deals damage to a creature, that creature must succeed on a Constitution Saving Throw with a DC equal to 11 + your proficiency bonus or suffer the effects of the poison.
- When you take this feat you learn how to create the Potent Poison from the table below as well as one other poison of your choice from the table. You learn one additional poison of your choice at 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th level. Each time you learn a new poison, you can also replace one poison you know with a different one.
