Itchvine

Physical Description

This bothersome growth is common in the subtropical and tropical areas. It often grows over thirty feet long and has a diameter of about four inches. It is fibrous, oily and brown/green in color. Many smaller tendrils shoot off the main vine.

Physical Properties

The oily resin from this vine is a contact paralytic toxin. If any resin comes into contact with flesh (not counting feathers, fur or shell) the animal will experience severe itching and muscle spasms. Certain thick skinned or armor plated life forms are unaffected.

Magical Properties

None.

Notes

The resin can be collected from an itchvine with a successful Herbalism roll and stored for use as a poison or on weapon. It gradually loses its effectiveness over several days.

Tolerance: It is possible to build up a tolerance to itchvine resin and it can be done rather quickly. With 8-12 weeks of daily treatment, complete immunity can be achieved.
