Then you shouldn't be able to chug pots with 0 alchemy either if you want to go this route.

Well if I'm truly the only person on the server who feels like 100 skill points in poison for an extra 25% chance to poison isn't worth the skill points then I'll stop trying to argue the issue.

You aren't the only one. Maybe adding a fail chance for being under GM. If you fail, you take the poison, like when grinding the Poisoning skill.

Lol, I am a Noob because I contributed to the idea? I am all for everyone using poison, but a person with 100 skill points in it should get a better bonus than a 25% increase to apply over someone with 0 skill points. At 100, does the player have a chance to inflict Lethal level poison? If so, that would be sufficient bonus to me.

It's fine as it is. If you don't think a 25% bonus chance is enough to warrant the 100 skill points on your dexer then don't take it and either buy poisoned weapons or use another char to poison them for you.

No because you are asking to buff skill that's already in a good place and you guys don't realize how powerful nox is in pvp.
A person with a 100 skill points in nox has chance of applying deadly poison or greater poison every swing, with the right steam macro your weapon should always be poisoned. With the 25% bonus to apply you are making someone burn their cures a lot faster and they typically go on the defensive. If the fight goes on for a long time, the 15 deadly potions you are carrying will outlast their 20 cure pots, allowing you to spam lol while throwing pots until they die. You should be throwing purples on any pvp template not just alchy. I feel lethal poison has no place in pvp and db shouldn't lethal poison players.

Ok, that answer is way better then the previous ones. I can see what you mean by it is already powerful as it is.
I must have just not seen this reply:

For dexxors, the chance to inflict is scaled by skill and does not require GM to have an added effect.
To the OP, there are many areas of UO that allow you to do *something* with zero skill. Every skill has something like that. There are a couple reasons for this, some obvious, but what you are looking for here is that by allowing anyone use a poison weapon, it diversifies templates and gives GM poisoner's something to do outside of PvP.
As far as what would be a good suggestion in this area - maybe suggest that the base infliction rate of poison when using a weapon at zero poisoning skill is lowered from what it is currently.

suggesting anything from "early 2000's" UO is a shit idea off the rip.

20% sounds more like 2/10 times... If you enjoy inflicting poison then train the skill.

Actually you have the same chance as to stun or para-blow or crushing blow or concussion blow.
PS: its 25% base chance and 20% more with GM Poisoning I believe.
