Question about Poisoning

[edw3rdwood]

Can I have Poisoning and Alchemy on my mule blacksmith, and have him make weapons then poison them and supply them to my main? Or does my main actually need to have Poisoning himself in order to get the real benefit?

I understand so far that having GM Poisoning gives you 20% resistance to poison, which my main would be missing out on, but is that all?

Your poisoning skill is relevant to your chance to poison someone with a poisoned weapon when you hit them, and without poisoning you will not actually poison your target often enough for there to be much of a point.
