Venoms can be secreted by adventurers of the Serpent class utilizing the skill of the same name. Once the serpent has bitten their foe, the venom begins to elicit a particular, often detrimental, effect upon that person.
Many of the commonly known afflictions can result from being bitten by a serpent in this manner. However, the effect of the bite depends on the victim's skill level of the miniskill called Antidotes.
