Bolt of Biting

Bolts of Biting are bolts designed with a barbed tip coated in poison. They deal 1d8 points of Piercing damage, and if the target fails a save vs Death, they also apply a Poison effect which inflicts 2 points of Poison damage per second for 15 seconds. Although offering no bonus to THAC0, damage, or speed, they can bypass non-magic weapon immunity some creatures have. 
The effect is cumulative, so for example if 3 bolts manage to poison the same creature successfully, 3 poison effects will be running concurrently.
In Enhanced Editions, the bolts will not try to apply the Poison effect to Undead, Golems and creatures with at least 100% Poison damage resistance.

== Gameplay ==
These bolts are very useful for interrupting enemy spellcasters, especially bards and mages (due to their poor death saving throws).
