Poisons – Fat Goblin Games

A note about price: Even though it would seem that poisonous creatures may become a gold mine from harvesting their poisons, remember that these poisons often must be processed for preservation or efficacy. Doing so generally costs time for crafting, and requires that half the cost of each dose be spent towards this preparation. Additionally, selling poisons is usually frowned upon, hazardous, and can attract unwanted attention just as with magical items. Access to a guild that deals with poisons can generally facilitate such transactions.

This poison must be harvested from a special gland in the neck of a basilisk. A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw, or become restrained.

Cost: 750 gp

Bebelith Poison (Injury)

This poison must be harvested from recently slain bebelith and is extremely hard to preserve. Proving the efficacy of this poison to potential buyers is even harder.
