Powers

The following are powers in the Poison powerset.

Alkaloid

When used correctly, poisons can be used to heal, as well as harm. Alkaloid consists of just the right amount of amino acids to safely heal a single targeted ally. The healed target is also left with some resistance to Toxic Damage (This Toxic Damage Resistance cannot be Enhanced). You cannot use this power to heal yourself.

Antidote

This Antidote can free an ally from any Disorient, Hold, Sleep, Slow and Immobilize effects and leaves them resistant to such effects for a good while. The antidote also grants the target some resistance to Cold and Toxic damage. Some of the effects of the power will improve with Multiple applications as you advance in level.

Elixir of Life

With this Elixir, you can revive a fallen ally and turn him into a killing machine. The revived target has increased damage, Accuracy, Endurance recovery, and attack speed, and gains a resistance to Toxic damage. A brew of this sort is not without its side effects. The revived target will soon become very sick and severely weak after about 90 seconds. All effects of the Elixir will eventually wear off. Elixir of Life can only be used on players and cannot be used on your Henchmen.

Even the mightiest foe will stop dead in their tracks, and left helpless as he empties the contents of his stomach.

Poison Trap

You can build a Poison Trap on the ground. Any foes that bass near the Poison Trap will cause it to detonate and release its toxic vapors.

The trap is almost impossible to detect, but it is fragile and may be set off by an enemy's explosion. Even if destroyed, the Trap will still detonate.
