A poison potion is simply a highly toxic liquid in a potion flask.
Typically, poison potions are odorless and of
any color.
Ingestion, introduction of the poison through
a break in the skin, or possibly just skin contact, will cause death.
Poison can be weak (+4 to + 1 on saving throw),
average, or deadly (-1 to 4 or more on the saving throw). <d3, then
d4>
Some poison can be such that a neutralize poison
spell will simply lower the toxicity
level by 40% -say from a -4 to a +4 on saving
throw potion. <10%>
You might wish to allow characters to hurl poison
flasks [see COMBAT / GRENADE-LIKE MISSILES /
Poison
Special].
