Cost Per Dose

It is up to the GM whether a par-
ticular poison is for sale – it might be
impossible to extract in a useful
form, or the authorities might want
to keep it off the market. If a poison
is available, its cost often reflects how
difficult it is to obtain, not its effec-
tiveness. In most game worlds, peo-
ple who sell poisons are criminals. All
of these factors make cost per dose
highly variable. See Poison Examples
(p. 439) for suggestions . . . but the
GM is free to use whatever prices he
feels are reasonable.
