Would anyone object if I RP bleed as poison?


Recommended Posts

The Toxic Venom used by alchemists and the effect of Bleed are the same, except the poison does less damage for longer. Asking the question again in another way, would it be okay if I roleplayed the bleed effect of a weapon I use to be a faster acting but less potent poison (e.g. doing 4 damage for 2 turns instead of 2 damage for 10 turns.) instead of as an actual bleeding effect? I would have the weapon be described as infused with poison by the way, rather than a serrated blade like my scimitar.

Mechanically nothing would be changing, it would just be the flavor text provided during combat. If we look at things another way, one could probably treat paralysis as a poison effect rather than a taser effect like some people treat it. At the end of the day bleed, poison, and burn are just DOTs.
