Poison Type D4 - Assassin's Hand Die Reviews RPG & Card Board

Honestly, I don't see much of a need for this kind of die. In most instances, the kind of poison a character is exposed to would be pretty obvious. Dart trap, say on a door or chest? Obviously injury-based. Gas traps are inhaled, and the most difficult to defend against, as well as being able to hit whole parties at once. Contact is a sneaky poison, but much more specialized, what with many adventurers wearing gloves and/or gauntlets. Ingested poisons are for the unwary or desperate, but also should be fairly obvious to what kind of poison is present. Poison, like the handling of dragons, probably should not be random too often.
