I've made an assassin character and I want to play him to the hilt (pun intended). I browsed thru the 'obvious' choices in the job system for a combination that would allow this character to make his own poisons, and I didn't see much in that direction. Am I missing something? Is it possible for a PC to make poisons? Maybe I missed something in front of my face...

You can make them in Amia without the job system. That said, I ecommend hebalist and alchemist if yu're going the classic "make poisons from plants and potions" route thing.

Not that it matters but My Sin was a herb/bot/anatomist who was going to use that (With RP Obviously) as grounds for some kind of custom poison spawning item request..

Aye, I actually had some serious questions about this as well. I don't know exactly how poisons can be made on Amia, and I'm not against learning ICly. However, where does the creative limit stop? Some poisons I've researched can be absolutely devastating. Should those be requested? Can players roleplay the making of poisons that aren't in the module? I'm sure I'll have more questions about all this, as this topic kind of surprised me in timing (Still in the process of formulating these questions).

Edit: That being said, I also took the brew potion feat as a means for making the character capable. Granted, I can't actually make potions of poison or disease, but hey- Can't go too far wrong with RP feats.

Unfortunately if you're referring to what I believe you're referring to, those poisons are usable only on ammunition and as a potion form (that is drunken).

Nothing in the alchemist/herbalist listings looked like poison to me, so my assassin bought other RPish jobs like anatomist and hired killer since I wanted class-related and jobs to provide a 'cover' identity.

I so very much wanted an actual poisoner though.

I agree with all the poisons i ever made were either drinkable or ammo type stuff... would love some usable poisons above weak and strong. no deadly poison about?.. would be fun.

I have always wondered how to get my hands on good poisons. It would be nice to have poisonmaker as a job if poisons made are only for ammo.
