poison damage done from flaming arrow (never got that one)

Poison hurts you as time goes on, as does being burnt... its just that rather than create code that said "you have been hurt by being burnt" they decided to use the "you have been hurt by poison" code instead, as they both served the same ends
They stuck poison damage on the flaming arrow to emulate burning. It was the cheats way out

lazy

Chance of being poisoned should be reduced.... everything from small snakes to anacondas poison you on thier 1st hit every time.

good point

There is a monster statistic called "poison chance", but it either does not work or no-one knows quite how to use it properly.

following the train of logic here i can see similar threads advocating increasing and decreasing damage to amounts that make potions less wastefull? yeah i hate waste too but this is apparently how we need the desert to be. there used to be oasis's's's's where we could freshen up along the way. not bad really, deserts have oasis's's's's, right? maybe a mirage or two also. yet, i don't recall deserts poisoning people on a basis of efficiency. that's the lamest notion i've heard in a long time.
