PFS StandardPoisoner

Legacy Content

Source Advanced Player's Guide pg. 186 2.0
People are so delightfully fragile when exposed to the glories of nature. The bite of a certain serpent makes the blood congeal to jelly. A particular stone, suitably powdered, causes hallucinations and delirium. The sap of a tree inflicts such pain that death seems preferable. You are a student of such dark wonders, making you a dangerous foe indeed.

Additional Feats

Source Advanced Player's Guide pg. 149 2.0
Some archetypes allow other feats beyond those in their entry. These are typically class feats, such as fighter feats that represent certain combat styles. The list of additional feats includes the feat's name, its level, and the page number where it appears. You can take the feat as an archetype feat of that level, meaning it counts toward the number of feats required by the archetype's dedication feat. When selected this way, a feat that normally has a class trait doesn't have that class trait.

Legacy Content

Archetype Dedication 
Source Advanced Player's Guide pg. 186 2.0
Archetype Poisoner
Prerequisites trained in Crafting

You make a point of always having a few toxins near at hand—you never know when some arsenic or the like might prove useful. You gain the basic alchemy benefits, though they can be used only for alchemical poisons. You gain batches of infused reagents per day equal to your level. Your advanced alchemy level for creating these is 1 and doesn't increase on its own.

Special You can't select another dedication feat until you have gained at least two other feats from the poisoner archetype.

Legacy Content

Archetype 
Source Advanced Player's Guide pg. 186 2.0
Archetype Poisoner
Prerequisites Poisoner Dedication; trained in Medicine
Requirements Your last action was a successful melee Strike that dealt damage against a target that is afflicted by a poison, and you know which poison.

Poisons attack specific parts of the body—one venom might target the lungs, another the circulatory system, while another deteriorates the nerves. You know how to take advantage of such weaknesses. You deal 1d6 damage of the required Strike's damage type and 1d6 poison damage to the target. If you're at least 18th level, you deal 2d6 damage of each type.

Legacy Content

Archetype Poisoner
* This version of the Subtle Delivery feat is intended for use with an Archetype and has a different level for access than the original feat.

You can capably deliver toxins with a blowgun. Your blowgun Strikes can apply injury poisons even if they deal no damage due to a creature's resistance. If you critically succeed at an attack roll using a blowgun loaded with a dart you've poisoned and the target rolls a failure on the poison's initial save, the target critically fails instead.

PFS StandardExpert Poisoner Feat 6

Legacy Content

Archetype 
Source Advanced Player's Guide pg. 186 2.0

Prerequisites Poisoner Dedication; expert in Crafting

Your advanced alchemy level for poison increases to your level – 3.

PFS StandardPoison Coat [reaction] Feat 6

Legacy Content

Archetype 
Source Advanced Player's Guide pg. 186 2.0
Archetype Poisoner
Prerequisites Poisoner Dedication
Trigger A creature adjacent to you hits you with a melee unarmed Strike.
Requirements You have prepared your clothing to poison attackers (see below).

In nature, certain animals are covered in venomous spines, such that even touching them is deadly. To use this reaction, you must have brushed poison onto your clothing or woven sharp poisoned needles into the garment's fabric. This takes 10 minutes and uses one dose of contact or injury poison. You can have only one such poison suffused into your clothing at a time.

When you use this reaction, the triggering creature is exposed to the suffused poison.

PFS StandardPoison Weapon [one-action] Feat 6*

Legacy Content

Manipulate Rogue 
Source Core Rulebook pg. 185 4.0
Archetypes Assassin, Drow Shootist, Poisoner
Requirements You are wielding a piercing or slashing weapon.
* This version of the Poison Weapon feat is intended for use with an Archetype and has a different level for access than the original feat.

You apply a poison to the required weapon; if you have a free hand, you can Interact to draw a poison as part of this action. If your next attack with that weapon before the end of your next turn hits and deals damage, it applies the effects of the poison, provided that poison can be delivered by contact or injury. If you critically fail the attack roll, the poison is wasted as normal.

Special During your daily preparations, you can prepare a number of simple injury poisons equal to your rogue level. These poisons deal 1d4 poison damage. Only you can apply these poisons properly, and they expire the next time you prepare.

PFS StandardTenacious Toxins Feat 6*

Legacy Content

Alchemist 
Source Advanced Player's Guide pg. 107 2.0
Archetype Poisoner
* This version of the Tenacious Toxins feat is intended for use with an Archetype and has a different level for access than the original feat.

Your victims tend to expire long before your poisons, since the latter have been specifically formulated to last longer. The maximum duration of any poison you create increases by an amount equal to the poison's stage 1 interval, to a maximum of twice the poison's maximum duration.

PFS StandardAcquired Tolerance [reaction] Feat 8

Legacy Content

Archetype Fortune 
Source Advanced Player's Guide pg. 186 2.0
Archetype Poisoner
Prerequisites Poisoner Dedication
Trigger You fail a save against a poison.

A small amount of poison, taken at nonlethal doses, can help the body build up a resistance against a more deadly dosage. Reroll the triggering check and use the second result. Once you use Acquired Tolerance, you can continue to use it against the same type of poison that day, but you can't use it against a different type of poison until after you make your next daily preparations. For instance, if you used the reaction on a save against giant scorpion venom, you could use it again against giant scorpion venom even if it came from a different source, but you couldn't use it against nettleweed residue, lich dust, or another poison.

PFS StandardSticky Poison Feat 8*

Legacy Content

Alchemist 
Source Advanced Player's Guide pg. 107 2.0
Archetype Poisoner
* This version of the Sticky Poison feat is intended for use with an Archetype and has a different level for access than the original feat.

A combination of additional viscosity and careful application keeps your weapons poisoned even when suffering significant wear and tear. If your Strike with a poisoned weapon would expend its poison without your target attempting an initial save (due to resistance or your Strike being a critical failure, for example), attempt a DC 5 flat check. On a success, your weapon remains poisoned. If your Strike with a poisoned weapon succeeds, attempt a DC 17 flat check. On a success, your weapon remains poisoned until the end of your next turn.

PFS StandardImproved Poison Weapon Feat 10*

Rogue 
Source Core Rulebook pg. 187 4.0
Archetypes Assassin, Poisoner
Prerequisites Poison Weapon
* This version of the Improved Poison Weapon feat is intended for use with an Archetype and has a different level for access than the original feat.

You deliver poisons in ways that maximize their harmful effects. When you apply a simple poison with Poison Weapon, the poison deals 2d4 poison damage instead of 1d4 poison damage. You don’t waste a poison you apply with Poison Weapon on a critically failed attack roll.

PFS StandardPinpoint Poisoner Feat 10*

Legacy Content

Alchemist 
Source Advanced Player's Guide pg. 107 2.0
Archetype Poisoner
* This version of the Pinpoint Poisoner feat is intended for use with an Archetype and has a different level for access than the original feat.

Unsuspecting targets are especially vulnerable to your poisons. When you successfully Strike a flat-footed creature with a poisoned weapon or expose a flat-footed creature to an inhaled poison, the flat-footed condition also gives that creature a –2 circumstance penalty to its initial save against that poison.

PFS StandardChemical Contagion [reaction] Feat 18*

Legacy Content

Alchemist 
Source Advanced Player's Guide pg. 107 2.0
Archetype Poisoner
Trigger A creature within 30 feet critically fails its initial saving throw against a poison you created.

With carefully engineered enzymes, you coax some of your poison to infect another target, using the original victim as a carrier. A creature adjacent to the triggering creature is exposed to the triggering poison.
