Serpent venom

[drcode]

Okay, in a little while, there should be a fix checked in for making serpent venom work properly in BG. It should raise your stats by 5, but an hour later, lower them below where they started, along with your health.

So it's really not a great thing to use...

It's good if you have tonnes of it and can keep feeding someone's addiction

Actually, from what he described, a ton of it would be a ton worse.
Eventually you would end up with someone whose natural HP were under
zero.

Works well in the original U7. You get an overflow and end up with superstats.

[Kurt]

you have to just keep feeding it to them every hour. I did that with Julia in the original U7. Unfortunately I ended up running out of venom and couldn't find more. Her strength ended up at about 3 at one point, so she became useless and I killed her.

Will it have the rollover effect it had in the original BG? Making characters "superhuman?"

THe trick I used was giving a shot of it to a party member, then telling them to leave and 'stay here'. I would come back for them later and re-recruit them and their venom stats would be permanent.
