Poison Crafting Recipes

28 poisons, flechettes, darts and scrolls a rogue could make — what each does, the Apply Poison skill and level it needed, the book that taught it, and what went into it.

Compiled by Nocte and the Resident Rogues for The Safehouse, March 2007. The rest of that rogue guide was never written — 56 of its 66 pages are “Coming Soon” — so this is what survives of it.
