Line 1: Line 1:
The Venom skill involves the production of various venoms by glands. These glands are remnants of evolution and lay dormant in most people. To those with the skill though, they can be used to great effect. First, one must secrete a particular venom. There will be a short pause while your glands produce the chosen toxin. Once the venom has been secreted, it cannot be held in the bloodstream indefinitely. Each venom has a risk factor incorporated into it. The more powerful the venom, the greater the chance of it backfiring and affecting the producer. To get the venom out of the bloodstream, one must either bite another adventurer or purge the venom from their body.
Where a skill like Venom is a naturally developed ability, and a skill like Subterfuge is an ability with many magical elements, Hypnosis is a science. It has long been known that our subconscious mind is a powerful force and that it can be influenced in mysterious ways, but until a forgotten Serpentlord discovered the principles of Hypnosis, there was no way to use it.


It should be pointed out that denizens will be immune to most venoms that do things other than cause damage.
With this skill, a practitioner of Hypnosis will be able to sink someone into a hypnotic trance, possibly even without them realising it, and implant various subliminal suggestions. They can then seal their victim's mind and implant a timer that determines how long after the hypnosis has been triggered until the suggestions start becoming active.


The skill of '''Venom''' is available to members of the [[Serpent]] [[class]], along with [[Subterfuge]] and [[Hypnosis]].

Where a skill like Venom is a naturally developed ability, and a skill like Subterfuge is an ability with many magical elements, Hypnosis is a science. It has long been known that our subconscious mind is a powerful force and that it can be influenced in mysterious ways, but until a forgotten Serpentlord discovered the principles of Hypnosis, there was no way to use it.

With this skill, a practitioner of Hypnosis will be able to sink someone into a hypnotic trance, possibly even without them realising it, and implant various subliminal suggestions. They can then seal their victim's mind and implant a timer that determines how long after the hypnosis has been triggered until the suggestions start becoming active.

The skill of Hypnosis is available to members of the Serpent class, along with Subterfuge and Venom.
