 ==Useful Info==
-Generally, being poisoned means gaining the Poison [[status effect]]. Its duration and damage per turn depends on the severity of poison. Poison can be stacked; multiple instances of poison will increase the severity. For players, severity is displayed by the colour of the word "Pois" (going from yellow -> light red -> red). For monsters, you can view severity by e'''x'''amining it. In tiles mode, monster poison is represented by green drops ("extremely poisoned" = 3 drops = max poison).

For monsters, you can view severity by e'''x'''amining it. In tiles mode, monster poison is represented by green drops ("extremely poisoned" = 3 drops = max poison).
 In addition, some spells, like [[Sting]], [[Poisonous Cloud]], and [[Poison Arrow]], deal poison ''impact'' damage. This is the same as any regular form of damage, but is resisted by poison resistance.
 While even low-level characters can usually survive mild poisoning, severe cases can deal tremendous amounts of damage over time. In any case, it is almost always best to rest and avoid combat until the poison has run its course, perhaps on a cleared floor to avoid wandering monsters.
