The virulent weapon quality was one that hastened the speed at which poison delivered by the weapon affected the victim.[1]

Description[]

A virulent weapon was always a light weapon.[2] Its surface was not even but dotted with oozing pits.[1]

Powers[]

A virulent quality did not affect any of the weapon's other qualities, like sharpness. Instead, it affected contact or injury poison coated on it.[1] Poisons on the weapon became harder to resist.[2] Apart from that, poisons usually caused initial and secondary reactions from the body it was delivered into. The virulent quality doubled the speed at which a poison's secondary reaction affected the target's body.[1]

As mentioned above, a virulent weapon seeped a fluid from the pits that dotted its surface. This fluid was also a poison that hurt those that were hit by the weapon.[2]

Creating such a weapon required a poison spell.[1]

History[]

The virulent quality was a weapon quality associated with the drow. Most such weapons had imagery of spiders, spider webs, or demons.[2]
