Poison (Duplicate Suggestion rejected)

[fishfin]

I think poison should be added to cantr. Like if you kill someone you can give them poisoned food. But only certained food should be able to be poisoned and if someone dies of pioson it says that they died of poison.
What do people think?

You give 650 gram of [poisoned carrots] to a man in his twenties
You say: Bon apetit ! *smiles*

Nah... won't fit into Cantr in my opinion. Poisoned weapons would be a better idea I suppose.

Not to mention how it would look in the inventory. Either it mixes with normal food, and then it effectively spoils the entire food pile, or it shows up as a separate pile, and people go "Why do I have two piles of cooked meat?".
Also, what is eaten first? Cooked meat or poisoned cooked meat?
I mean, it's not a bad idea, really, but I don't like it anyway.

It would have to be very rare to get poison, and slow acting enough that most charries could mix up the antidote in time. Players have too much invested in their charries to simply have them killed off with one hit from a poisoned blade. Overuse of poison could cause players to quit.
