    Greetings, I'm new here. I just recently dicoverd this wonder of a game, and have been playing using a technologically oriented character,

    I like poisoing enemies and then using hallucinite to send them running to their deaths.

    my question is, are there any other type of poison other than strong poison? ..I find that a single dose strong poison is not strong enough for my liking.

    Welcome to the forum, Mr. Whiskers!

    I'm sorry to say, but the strong poison is the most powerful one I'd ever found.
    Like you, I was disenchanted with the effectiveness of it.

    Thanks.

    I guess there's always dynamite...


    ..however, I seem to recall a rumor about a guy that makes poison in blackroot..

    get full explosive tech, then pay attention to the schematics at gun dealers etc. Mustard gas is the area of effect poison grenade, I think the hallucination grenade also works well in that situation. Sometimes using found schematics and combining technological disciplines doubles the effectiveness of just one single college.

    Poison...dynamite, they're basically the same thing, right?

    FYI: The poison from the guy in Blackroot is quest related, not a useable item.

    ah... i meant, using dynamite instead of poison on somebody and then using hallucinite so they run away.

    Hmmm...that's cool, but I think an explosion is much more fun.
    You can make hallucinogen grenades and poison grenades too, I think.

    Editing the spellist.mes file, search for mtTechPoison and edit it there.
