[Resolved]Poison And Herb Lore Help

[MamaBearJade 2090]

My character is a poisons master and uses various herbs. Since I have made the character I have been trying to find lore on any and all lore on poisons and herbs but there isn't really any. I have been using Real life herbs and poisons since I can't find actual lore. This has become a problem for roleplay now because everyone is arguing about the poisons.

 

Do I need to start writing up lore for every poison and herb I use?

 

One I know that should be in LOTC just because of potatos is nightshade.

 

It would be really helpful to know if I have to write up lore for all my herbs/poisons or if I can just keep going off of Real life poisons.

 

Thank you.

While I'm not certain as to if you can officially go off of IRL poisons alone or not, people will dispute your poisons simply because you're poisoning them. Having an implemented lore post would certainly give your poisons weight, and lets you throw some fantasy poisons in there too.

So I'd certainly recommend it, but I'm not certain if it's required or not.

No you don't need lore for poisons. Just research medieval poisons and you should be good to go.

Alchemy also helps too. You can use potions of weakness or poison bottles.

I say you can take many ideas of poisons from these lores:

I would like a lore master to tell me if I need to start writing lore for poisons....

 

Honestly it would make more sense to just base it off of real herbs as its easier than trying to make up a whole set of herbs that are poisonous. Not only would you have facts, but easy to just reference.

 

And before I get posts about snake venom, you can drink snake venom and not die, it is not a poison, it is a venom. ^^;;

 

Also Jistuma those posts are helpful with the "fantasy" herbs that are around, thank you. ^^
