Silzal's Claw (Poison)

Silzal's Claw (Ingested): A creature subjected to this poison must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be Poisoned for 1 minute. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the target will be poisoned for 5 (1d10) minutes instead. The Poisoned creature is Paralyzed. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its next 2 turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If after the third save it still has not had a single success, then the poison will need to run its course naturally and will wear off after the allotted time has gone by.

Properties

Material Characteristics

A dried powder that needs to be dissolved into liquid and ingested. The powder itself is a hydrophobic material when you get it wet it will stick together clumping trapping air bubbles inside. Resisting the ability to stir it. If you put a small amount of water in it prior to use and stir it to get the powder wet first the paste can be easily stirred into a drink.

Compounds

The harvested berries of plant atropa belladonna are used in conjunction with the claws from a ghoul or ghast.

Origin & Source

• Dry and dehydrate 10 berries from an atropa belladonna bush.
• Once berries are fully dried you will need to grind them into a fine powder. Set aside.
• Grinding up the fingernails (10) of a ghoul or ghast until in a very fine powder form.
• Combine the powdered berries with the powdered fingernails. Mix well.
• Makes 1d4 doses of Silzal's Claw powder.

Life & Expiration

• Once made the compound lasts for 1 month in powder form.
• Once wet the paste will lose its potency in 1 hour.

Odor

A slightly sweat smell when in paste form, a slight earthy smell when in a powdered state.

Taste

A very discerning pallet could taste a slight berry flavor to it. After ingesting the powder a -4 perception check to notice the flavor.

Color

Very light lavender to pink as a powder. If put in water it gives it a slight change in color that grants a +2 bonus on nature checks to identify the poison. In darker liquids like an ale or mead this would not be noticeable.
