Dhani Venom Questions

[Vizayas]

I have some questions about Viper Dhani venom. I'll keep this short and simple.

1) Does the poison vary depending on snake breed, or do all Viper Dhani have the same venom?

2) Is a Dhani immune to its own venom like many species of snake?

3) Can a Dhani 'milk' its own venom? If this is done, does the venom stay active for a time comparable to regular snakes?

4) Do you need a high Poisons skill level to apply Viper Dhani venom to weapons such as arrowheads and blades?

1) When it comes to the Iyvess breed, here is a small snippet from the wiki:

Their size tends to be similar to Rattlers for Iyvess all possess venom as well, but a paralytic sort that in low doses merely numbs their prey, and in high doses can cease motor functions for chimes at a time.

However, when it comes to the rest of the Dhani, check out the OOC note at the very bottom of the Dhani article. It explains what sorts of venoms are available.

2) The question whether individual snakes are immune to their own venom has not yet been definitively settled, according to the snake venom Wikipedia article. A response in this thread also says Dhani are not immune to their own venom.

3) Yes, though tools would be needed to correctly retrieve the venom.

4) No. Anyone can apply venom to a weapon, and the Poison skill mostly deals with how to craft poisons. However, having some Poison skill would help you know where to strike so that the poison was most effective, for instance. Lores would also come into play here as well.

Hope this helps!
