Poisoned is a brand that darts may have. Such throwing weapons will usually poison any non-resistant monsters they hit. Poisoning a target multiple times will strengthen the effect, causing it to deal more damage per turn and take longer to run its course.
Strategy
- Poison is strong in the early Dungeon. One dart can kill most D:1 mooks, multiple darts can be used to soften up all sorts of enemies before they get into melee range.
