Poison rules... it seems like this very intricately developed system that no one uses because it DOESN'T WORK! All poisons have pathetic DCs and the method of enhancing those DCs means that the ONLY thing your character knows how to do is use poison... which is a VERY peculiar specialty that is hard to RP in a cooperative way:
Intricately? It's incomplete and lacks customization for the PCs who want to use Craft (Alchemy) to make their own. For PCs I usually let them use http://davidvs.net/hobbies/pathfinder-poisons.shtml rules for poisons and I usually simplify monster poisons to either paralytic or Damage Over Time.
What's scarier to a group of 1st levels, 1 STR damage or 2d6 poison?
