Poisons

See also: Hazards, General Equipment

In Attack of the Clones, Zam Wesell attempts to assassinate Senator Padmé Amidala using poisonous centipedelike creatures called Kouhuns. Later, Zam herself is slain by a poisoned Kamino Saberdart. In The Phantom Menace, the Neimoidians pump poisonous gas into the conference room of their Trade Federation battleship in a vain attempt to dispatch Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Poison Hazards are toxins that can be Ingested, Inhaled, or contracted through contact. They always attack the Fortitude Defense of a target, ignoring Equipment bonuses to a target's Fortitude Defense, a target's Damage Reduction, and a target's Shield Rating. They cause Persistent Conditions if they move a target down the Condition Track. The Persistent Condition cannot be removed until the Poison is cured (See Treat Injury for more details), or until the Poison fails it's attack roll against a target once. Contact Poisons can be applied to Weapons; when a poisoned weapon damages the target, the Poison then makes its attack against the target's Fortitude Defense.

A creature that dies from Poison damage can be Revived, however, Reviving a creature doesn't remove the Poison from it's system; the Poison must be treated separately.

A creature wearing a functional Breath Mask is immune to Inhaled Poisons, including Toxic Gases and Toxic Atmospheres. Poisons affect only living creatures; Droids and Vehicles are immune.
