Sleeping poison

Sleeping poisons were extremely potent poisons designed to put targets to sleep or unconsciousness, rather than killing them. 
==Types of sleeping poison==
;Dreambliss: A potent, addictive, and expensive sleep poison that was unique to north Zakhara and common among the Free Cities in that region. It was carefully distilled from the white sap of a plant that grew only in the shaded valleys of north Zakhara's Furrowed Mountains.
;Drow sleeping poison: The drow were renowned for their sleeping poison, also known as drow knockout poison or simply drow poison. It was hard to find outside of drow areas, such as Shimmerdark's Decanter in the Bazaar of Menzoberranzan. The drow coated the tips of their hand crossbow bolts in this poison and sometimes imbued their weapons with it. There were few antivenins, but Regis was able to brew an antivenin that lasted half a day, and drinking Gutbuster was a surefire way to prevent falling asleep (assuming the drinker survived the Gutbuster itself).

;Lizardfolk sleep poison: A poison made by lizardfolk through a technique that distilled the extract of several jungle plants. It rendered targets unconscious for around 1 to 3 hours and was worth around 300 gold pieces.
