Poison from Toads

[Alubag]

I don't know of any species of toad or frog that are poisonous outside of tropical areas, but I'm not an expert,

The Common toad "secretes a toxic, foul tasting substance called bufagin", and apparently it can be lethal.

Also this toad is even more deadly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bufo_arenarum , it secretes this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arenobufagin

Just sayin'

Poison arrows. Just cuz I love em.

All I'm sayin'.

I'd rather use something rarer, toadstools
aren't really all that rare though atm...

i like the idea of being able to suicide with it, since a body of water may not always be available

Could you force poison down the throat of someone you KOed?

+1 poisoning food sounds fun

[Barhandar]

Giving newbies deadly poisoned food in UO was fun. I do want it here.

Also, since eating certain mushrooms gives you black fep, poisons can convert food feps to black in addition to direct damage.
P.S. Possibly even adding "Anything Poisonous" generic item for that recipe, which includes toads and certain mushrooms?

Been brought up tons of times, still a good idea IMO.

Licking certain toads (perhaps only shocked frogs) should give a drug effect too.

Obligatory herpaderpa realism. Bufo alvarius and certian other species of toads excrete DMT and 5-meo-dmt when stimulated. Some toads have also been known to excrete Bufotenine. (had to google the second one). Anyways these toads are very hardy, the will live just about anywhere. However the drug affects when ingested orally are negligible. And i don't think they fit in with the region.

But, i'm all for perpetuating urban myths. I say +1

(it kinda takes poison from toads tongue).

What?

dont you know poison toads which have poison in tongue that can kill man in couple minutes. And like mayas used to touch tongue with spear or arrow head.

I can't believe how devious you guys are, wanting to give poisoned food to newbies.

Then again, i'd do the same.

Anyhow, i love the idea, but think this recipe would make poison a little too common.

I'd preferr if it also required some other poisonous ingredients, such as toadstools. maybe 2 toadstools and 5 toads?

Anyhow, really like the idea, hope it makes it into the game!
