Hey, nice video ! But i fear you missed what i think is the best option for a poison build, the Toxicant archetype for the Alchemist. It has a poison secreting from the body (RAW has no expiration date) that can be used as a touch attack or put on a weapon (as a swift) character level + intelligence per day. This poison deals your intelligence in damage, wich seems worse than the eldritch poisoner, but the catch is that every three levels you can add a rider on the poison (sickened, stunned, etc) whose effectiveness scale on levels and prior investments in riders. And there is daze at level 6 with no prerequisite. Daze. The condition that nearly none is immune to and make you lose all your round. On this poison with a DC that can scale sky high. And for the sneak attack, toxicant is amazingly stackable with vivsectionist, who has full sneak attack progression !
Best way to use poison is polymorph imo... as ability DCs use the DC of your transmutation spell. Find a form with a con poison like a viper, and go to town. Even better when you're a brown fur transmuter and you have a feral combat training monk who you can polymorph in your place
How many of these can be used by others? I created a lvl 7 ninja npc yesterday for pf1. I was just wondering if I could buy better poison than the basic stuff found in the books.
Thanks again for the Pathfinder 1e love as a gm I would be lost without all these videos
You're welcome. Happy I could help.

Hadn't considered polymorph, but it's a good idea.
Oh wow, this actually makes me want to try poisons, they always felt like a 'gm' only thing to use against players
Yeah, that's usually the case, but with some forethought you can make them work for you.

Unfortunately the methods outlined in this video are race or class specific. Just buying better poison isn't usually an option.
