Hi !
I have been deeply disappointed with the poisons rules in the Game Master Kit.
Look at the Ars Imperialis Mortua, the Officio Assassinorum's poison:
If I read it correctly, the target take a -30T test.
If he fails, he take 1D10 + 1D10 every degree of failure.

Even a simple human is able to survive: T35 - 30 = 5.
Test failed, for example, with a 50.
That's 4 degree of failure.
So 5 dices, and a results of 25 (With an average score of 5 per die) . So he doesn't die, because a results of 35 is needed for him to die.
Did I miss something ? The most powerful poison not able to kill a simple soldier easily ?

You haven't missed anything. It doesn't appear to do that much damage.

It's a shame, it should be a powerful poison. However, it doesn't change that I love this rpg !
