This skill represents practical knowledge of poisons. A successful skill roll lets you (among other things) recognize a poison-bearing plant in the wild; extract the poison in a useful form; recognize a poison by its taste in food or drink; identify a poison by observing its effects (+3 if you are poisoned); know a proper antidote; or recognize or prepare the antidote from its sources. Each of these feats requires a separate roll.

''Modifiers:'' [[Acute Taste and Smell]] gives a bonus to notice or recognize a poison by taste or by scent. Likewise, [[Discriminatory Smell]] and [[Discriminatory Taste]] give +4 to these tasks when working by smell or by taste, respectively.
