The Poisoner’s Handbook: A Practical Guide to Inflicting Agonizing Death

The Poisoner’s Handbook is a supplementary system for crafting and using poisons.

The mechanics use 5e as a foundation. However, since the system is self-contained, it offers an open and agnostic application to other systems. To this end, The Poisoner’s Handbook includes a chapter on converting mechanics to other systems. We’ve done the math, we show our work, and we talk about the logic behind our system.

 

The package you will download contains not only The Poisoner’s Handbook but also a players edition and a black and white printable players edition. We removed the poison recipes, poisoner weapons, and some of the back-end mechanics from the player’s edition. We wanted the GM to be able to hand a rulebook to their players but keep a few surprises up their sleeves.

 

You will also receive 2 additional files titled “Poison Recipes” and “Poisoner’s Weapons”. These printable files allow you to cut out and give your players items found within the game. You don’t have to worry about poorly written notes confusing a player.

 

We designed everything to make the busy GM’s life easier.
