📋 About This Mod

Enhance your Poison builds! New Armor and Staff with new spells, new passives and feat, and rework of existing Poison-themed equipment.

List of features:

[]NEW ARMOR Necromancer's Robe with a NEW SPELL Absorb Poison (is Reaction like Absorb Elements), and a NEW PASSIVE Poison Adept. This armor is dropped by Balthazar. An upgraded version of the (also upgraded) Poisoner's Robe. Note: in the case of Warlocks, Absorb Poison restores 1 Warlock Spell Slot instead. UUID of the Item: e0143f83-12e2-4024-8bca-43953a52599b

[]NEW WEAPON Necromancer's Staff with NEW SPELL Poison Wave (has range of Cone of Cold). It's designed to be a viable melee weapon with the +1d4 Poison Damage and the ability to use Lacerate to cause bleed. This weapon is found in the chest inside Balthazar's Secret Room in Moonrise Towers (same place you find the Coldbrim Hat and where the Ritual Circle event with Gale can happen). UUID of the Item: 888a2892-4a27-444a-a3c3-c3712fc6fb4d

[]Added a NEW PASSIVE to Poisoner's Glove: Empowered Poison.

[]Modified the Poisoner's Robe's passive Poison Trails so its power increases at level 6 and 11 (starts a at +1d4 Poison Damage, at level 6 becomes +1d6 and at level 11 becomes +1d8), and added the NEW PASSIVE Poison Adept to it.

[]Modified Necklace of Elemental Augmentation so it also includes Poison spells.

[]Modified Ring of Elemental Infusion so it also includes Poison spells along with a correspondent Poison Infusion on your weapon.

[]Increased the healing amount from the Derivation Cloak when poisoning an enemy from 1d4 up to 2d4.

[]NEW FEAT: Poison Adept. Does the same thing as the passive on the Robes(called Poison Adept: Equipment), but if you have both of them at the

same time they stack to give you a new Condition (see screenshot below) Deadly Venom, which allows you to turn Poison Immunity into Poison

Resistance (but not reduce it further).

[*]NEW Condition/Buff: Deadly Venom. This condition can only be gained when the character has both the Feat ''Poison Adept: Feat'' AND the equipment

passive ''Poison Adept: Equipment''. These features combine to give you Deadly Venom. Deadly Venom allows your spells and attacks to treat Poison Immunity as Poison Resistance (but not reduce it further). Does not affect inorganic creatures made of stone or metal nor inanimate objects.

10. Poisoner's Ring's Virulent Venom ability has been rebalanced. Now it's Once-Per-Short-Rest, its DC is no longer a fixed 14 and instead scales with your Spellcasting DC, instead of choosing 3 individual targets now you choose a small target area. To compensate, range has been reduced from 9m to 6m, and duration has be
