So I've been thinking about making a character who's main fighting style is gonna involve some kind of poisoned cyberware blades. Or something. However, as cool as that sounds, the poison rules seem like a pain in the ass, and honestly it seems like combat's gonna be over before the poison has a significant effect. Am I wrong? Are there some ways to make it more effective? Creative uses I am unaware of? Just curious what kind of devious monstrosities Dumpshockers have thought of involving poison.
