A FOREIGN SUBSTANCE INFESTS A SLASHER'S BLOODSTREAM AND DEBILITATES THEIR FIGHTING ABILITY. A SLASHER WHO IS POISONED WILL ONLY INFLICT ONE-HALF OF THE CARNAGE FROM ANY OF THEIR ATTACKS FOR A SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF TIME.

POISON COMES EXCEPTIONALLY HANDY WHEN SQUARING OFF AGAINST AMPUTHEATRE'S HEAVIEST HITTERS. BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A CLEAN WAY TO KILL SOMEONE, THE EVIL WARDENS HATE ITS USE IN AMPUTHEATRE. BUT THEY ALSO HATE ALL OF YOU. SO POISON AWAY.
