Poison Rings

Since Tarkil is spy and assassin, I had to think of things like this, and poison rings would be very appropriate for a spy campaign.  These rings, highly decorated to very plain, hold a small amount of poison, usually in the base of a gem or small token.  Usually there is just enough poison for one use.  Follow the poison rules for your campaign and poison, but here are some other guide lines.
1) The person needs to roll to hit. You can factor in armor if you wish, because someone wearing plate may be harder to hit with a tiny needle then someone in a robe.

2) Remember any bonuses against poison.  Some campaigns have bonuses for certain races against poison, don't forget those.

3) Make how they poison the person plausible.  From five foot away? No, they need to be up close and personal with a good in-character reason for touching the person if they don't want to be discovered.

Happy Gaming!
