Creature /w poisonous blood?

Post by DeathLich »

Is there any creature(s) that have poisonous blood? If there are, then would you please name it (them)?
So I offer you respect, and it will take much for you to lose it. But if you do, if you choose to see it as weakness and seize upon your perceived advantage, well...perhaps I'll then let you talk with Guenhwyvar.

Poisnous blood is an attribute probally not easily avaible through searching sites and books. But I can tell you one thing...

Why does it matter if they have poisnous blood? If you are planning on making a poison choose a very possible candiate to have bad blood, for example a Wyrven, Imp, or Black Dragon.

It is also plasuable to choose a creature totaly unifilted with the good humanoid race, or what they consume. Such as an astral or abyssal creature.

I hope this helps.

It's up to you to decide ultimately what has poisonous blood or not. I'd generally say that you limit this to those creatures that can poison as an attack, but this doesn't have to be true.

Just to show how ignorant I am of these things, do snakes have poisonous blood in real life? I mean, I know the dangerous one have poison 'sacks' connected to their fangs which discharges the poison upon biting. But is there poison in their entire bloodstream?
Check it out! One of my earliest, and certainly, more creative threads! :)

Deathlich: Just by reading alot of your posts, you seem to be sort of stuck on the rules of the game. (And please, I'm make this post with no malice, only a hope of making the game more enjoyable for you and your players) The three main books (Players Handbook, Dm's Guide and the Monsters Manual have all the basic rules you need. If you're DMing, read them thoroughly. From there the rest is really up to you. Things like this thread (Creatures with poisonous blood) are either mentioned in the monster's manual (or any of the other monster's manuals that you can buy seperatly) or compleatly in your head. And here's the beauty of D&D. What isn't there you get to make up. And more importantly, things that ARE there, you can change at a whim. Granted, some players don't like that, BUT if you explain to them that you are doing it for a specific reason (Which you don't have to necesarrily explain) then it will appease most players. Then there's the ever preasent and always trustworthy rule of "I'm the DM, and therefore God. Are you really questioning God???" lol.
I realize that this specific thread was posted as a simple question and that's fine, and I harbour no grudge about it, it's just that in following some of your other posts I've noticed a bit of a pattern.
Here's the most important rule you'll ever need to know: If in the end, the game was fun, most players aren't going to say "But on page 51 of Such and such a book it says that........." Fun is fun, and that's the point.

Hope this helps,
