Resistance Roll

Basic Set: Campaigns · p.438

Open source p.438

Some poisons give the victim a HT
roll to resist. Make this roll after the
delay, if any, has passed. There is often
a modifier: a mild poison might call
for a HT+2 roll, while one that is
almost impossible to resist might
require a HT-8 roll! HT to HT-4 is typ-
ical. DR never affects this roll.
If you’re in a poisonous environ-
ment (like a gas cloud or toxic atmos-
phere) and make your initial HT roll,
you must roll again once per second
until the poison affects you or you
leave the area. If the poison has a
delay, roll after each delay period
instead.
Some poisons are specific to cer-
tain species and do not affect others.
Others are easier or harder for partic-
ular species to resist. These effects are
up to the GM.
