False DeathItem 5

UncommonAlchemicalConsumableIngestedPoison
Source Pathfinder #149: Against the Scarlet Triad pg. 78
Price 25 gp
Usage held in 1 hand; Bulk L
Typically used to fake one’s death, this poison swiftly causes the imbiber to lose consciousness and suppresses vital signs. A creature examining the unconscious target must succeed at a Medicine check against the imbiber’s Deception DC + 4 to determine that the target is alive, and a critical success allows the examiner to determine that a toxin is causing the effect. The false death toxin has an extremely bitter taste (Perception DC 10 to detect), making it difficult to trick a creature into consuming the poison against its wishes.

Saving Throw DC 18 Fortitude; Onset 10 minutes; Maximum Duration 5 days; Stage 1 clumsy 2 (1 round); Stage 2 unconscious (1 hour); Stage 3 unconscious (1 day)
