I have a question on poisons. Some of the RMFRP poisons are written as, "Level 3C poison." I have seen other letters after the level designation. IS there somewhere I can find what the letters stand for?
Thank you

I don't see any examples, but maybe use the table from page 6 of Creatures & Monsters?

As far as I can remember jdale is exactly correct, the codes use the same rules as for varying creature level as given in Creatures & Monsters.

thanks guys. that never occurred to me.

I did not see any good info in GM Law but here is an educated guess.
From GM Law page 106 "[size=78%]For poisons, the effect is the most severe effect that can be gained with the herb. You must use the tables provided in Section 11.0 (Poison and [/size][size=78%]Diseases) to find the actual effect (based upon the RR of the victim)."[/size]
[size=78%] [/size]On GM Law page 93, it has various charts and info about specific poison's "general" onset and effect. But there are only 4 categories listed of severity, mild, moderate, severe and extreme. But the poisons in the table go from A to E affect wise. If the info in the table went from A to D then I would say that the letters were the max severity a poison started at.
But I could also see the authors cutting the range from 1-5 (A-E) to 1-4 (A-D) for some reason and just missing the clean up in the poison entries.

These came in handy when our Thief was looking for poisons. A partial success resulted in giant centipedes and a book on caring for the beasties. I gave them a 5B circ poison (like Battlepedes), but the B is -2 all the way to +6. One had a lvl 5 circ poison and another had a lvl 7 circ poison. Not a huge difference but it helped. He still had to make some rolls to put it on his weapons..
