The mental image of someone securing a rope around their waist, tying it to nothing, and descending down a cliff is hilarious to me.

I was playing D&D (for the first time) and my party were a group of exterminators killing giant spiders on city rooftops. The first thing I did when we got up there was tie myself off to a chimney. Later, we were fighting a really big spider that was right at the edge of the roof:

Me: "I hurl myself at the spider."

DM: "You mean you try to hit the spider, or try to grapple the spider...?"

Me: "IDK, I just throw all my body weight at it."

The spider ended up splatted dead on the ground (traumatizing some unfortunate passerby), I ended up dangling off the side of the building, and one of my party members had to make a saving throw to dodge the rope as it swung through his square, LOL!

Great show.

Poison is generic. Venom is specific to normal method of delivery (e.g. snakes and bees).

Swallowing venom may or may not hurt you. Probably not a great idea, but there’s a better chance you’ll be okay.

Getting a known poison stabbed/injected intravenously seems likely to be pretty effective, but it depends on the mode of action. Blood goes everywhere in the body, so it will likely find its target eventually.

Alternatively, his blade was not very deadly unless he got it in someone's mouth.

That's for poisonous vs venomous, but poison is a generic term, the substance won't care how it got into your bloodstream.

“a substance that through its chemical action usually kills, injures, or impairs an organism”

Poison doesn’t have to be swallowed

Yes, but he said it was coated in poison, not venom. Licking it was a proper way to administer the dose.

Not if it's venomous poison from Alice Cooper.

Feels familiar but I can't place the title... 🤔

That die has too few sides
