Poison Damage

There are some vague or non-exact figures and information on this page. Some spading is required. What exactly determines how much poison damage each item does? Does pufferfish spine belong here?

[ Return to Game Mechanics ]

Poison damage is a special, decaying form of passive damage that can result from the use of certain combat items, familiars, spells and weapons. Some items do poison damage on their own, others simply increase the possibility damage on their own. Poison damage goes down 50% each turn, rounded down, until there is no inflicted damage.

Pufferfish spines also poison one's opponent, but damage is listed separately, and increases rather than decreases. Spew Poison is a special skill that converts poison effects into damage, but does not actually poison one's opponent.
