Deep Lord’s Poison

Poison (Injury or Ingested), uncommon

“This poison was made from the mucus of an ancient aboleth. It’s a murky green color with a thick yellow build-up that settles at the bottom.”

A creature subjected to the Deep Lord’s Poison through injury takes 2d6 Acid damage, and makes a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or it cannot regain Hit Points for 1d4 rounds, and takes an additional 1d6 Acid damage at the start of each of its turns.

Injury. Injury poison can be applied as a Bonus Action to a weapon, a piece of ammunition, or similar object. The poison remains potent until delivered through a wound or washed off. A creature that takes Piercing or Slashing damage from an object coated with the poison is exposed to its effects.

If a creature ingests the Deep Lord’s Poison, they must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or have the Poisoned condition for 1 hour. While poisoned the target’s skin becomes slimy, they can breathe underwater, and whenever they regain Hit Points, unless they are in water they only regain half the normal amount. For every 10 minutes they are not in water, they take 1d12 Acid damage.

Ingested. A creature must swallow an entire dose of ingested poison to suffer its effects. The dose can be delivered in food or a liquid. Your GM may decide that a partial dose has a reduced effect, such as allowing Advantage on the saving throw or dealing only half as much damage on a failed save.
