Summary[]
Poison damage is a form of damage, similar to Bleeding Damage in its damage-over-time character. Like Bleeding Damage is not affected by Elemental Resistance; there is, however, such an attribute as Poison Resistance. Poison Damage is common in the Finesse ability tree.
Poison damage also reduces the amount of damage the enemy can deal to the Fateless One by 33%; this is useful for Finesse characters, as their armor tends to be weaker than those worn by Might-based characters.
