"Snakebite" is an extremely useful weapon for most of the game, providing powerful, fast attacks with a unique brand and a useful resistance. In addition to its regular poison it has a chance to inflict curare poison, slowing and choking affected enemies. However, its base damage is very low, making it a poor choice for handling high-AC enemies, and its brand proves useless against the many demonic and undead opponents you'll find in the end-game.
