Effects

Rank 1	Basic Poisoner	As a Move action, apply a poison to a weapon with a successful Dexterity + Craft: Poisons roll. The Rank of the poison may not exceed the character’s current Rank in Fighting Style: Poisoner. Failing this roll wastes the dose of poison, while a critical failure poisons the player.
Rank 2	Skilled Poisoner	Gain a +1 Potency bonus to either Injury OR Ingested poisons, which must be determined when this Rank is purchased. The Potency bonus increases to +2 at Rank 3, and +3 at Rank 5.
Rank 3	Clever Poisoner	Due to the poisoner’s work, she can recognize the effects, smells, or appearance of poisons with a successful Craft: Poison roll. This reveals the type, potency, and effects of the poison, as well as knowledge of any available antidotes or antivenins. Craft: Poison skill checks to create antidotes gain a +Rank bonus to their roll.
Rank 4	Deft Poisoner	After a successful Sleight of Hand roll, the poisoner may apply an Injury poison to a weapon as a Fast Action. When administering Ingested poisons, gain a +4 bonus to the Sleight of Hand roll to avoid being noticed.
Rank 5	Master Poisoner	Craft: Poison checks require one less success. The poison type selected at Rank 2 additionally gains +1 Duration.
