Talk:Silver-Mercurium

Anyone want to take a shot at converting this to 3.5ed? I am not even especially certain that it is clear in its effects in 2nd . . .

"The poison is silver-mercurium and is made by a local alchemist. This virulent toxin is both poison types E and J, so it can be administered in food or drink or applied to a weapon, with somewhat differing effects (see DMG page 73). In addition, this poison has the magicalability to slay werebeasts. Any weapon coated with silver-mercurium is treated as silver for the purpose of

hitting creatures struck only by silver weapons; the victim must save vs. poison or die. Necessarily, this rare poison is expensive. A one-ounce vial costs 1,000 gp; this is enough to coat one dagger-sized object for one use, or to poison up to 10 people when administered to food or drink. The poison diffuses nicely in liquid, leaving only a slightly oily appearance and metallic smell, hardly noticeable at all. The secret of its making is known only to the local alchemist (not appearing in this adventure)."
