Weapon Proficiencies: You gain no new proficiency with any weapon or armor. You can cast poisoner spells while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. However, like any other arcane spellcaster, a poisoner wearing medium or heavy armor or using a shield incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has a somatic component (most do). A multiclass poisoner still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from other classes.
Spellcasting: Beginning at 1st level, you gains the ability to cast a number of arcane spells. To cast a spell, you must have an Intelligence score of at least 10 + the spell’s level, so a poisoner with an Intelligence of 10 or lower cannot cast these spells. Poisoner bonus spells are based on Intelligence, and saving throws against these spells have a DC of 10 + spell level + your Intelligence bonus. Like other spellcasters, you can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Your base daily spell allotment is given on the table above. In addition, you receives bonus spells per day if you have a high Intelligence score. When you gets 0 spells per day of a given spell level you gains only the bonus spells you would be entitled to based on your Intelligence score for that spell level. The poisoner’s spell list appears below. Unlike a bard or sorcerer, you may know any number of spells. You must choose and prepare your spells ahead of time by getting a good night’s sleep and spending 1 hour studying your spellbook. While studying, you decides which spells to prepare. You cannot prepare any spell not recorded in your spellbook, except for read magic, which all poisoner can prepare from memory. When you enter into this class you must obtain an empty spellbook for yourself (DM are encouraged to just give one shortly before you enter this class). You can immediately add any two poisoner spell plus read magic to your spellbook. At each new poisoner level, you gains two new spells of any spell level or levels that you can cast (based on your new poisoner level) for your spellbook. At any time, a poisoner can also add spells found in other spellbooks (or from scroll) to her own, in the same way that a wizard can do so.
Venomous Companion: You gain the service of a venomous companion. The creature is similar to a druid’s animal companion (PH 35), but it can be some other type of creature instead of an animal. Choose one of the following creature with an alignment up to one step away from your own on each of the alignment axis as your venomous companion: Dinosaur, SwindlespitterMM3 p40, Giant Bee, Howler WaspMM4 p74, Minor Flame SnakeFF p73, Monstrous Centipede (Small, Medium or Large), Monstrous Scorpion (Small or Medium), Monstrous Spider (Small, Medium or Large), Reed SnakeSK p84, Snake (Small, Medium or Large Viper), Snake, Two-headed AdderFRCS p308, Tirbana EyewingMM5 p172, Twig BlightMM2 p197, WatchspiderCoS:W p140
This creature is a loyal companion that accompanies you on your adventures and help you as much as it can, you could milk it for its venom for example. It is completely typical for its kind except as noted below. As you advance in level, the creature’s power increases as shown on the table. If you releases your companion from your service, you may gain a new one by performing a ceremony requiring 24 uninterrupted hours of meditation. This method can also replace a venomous companion that has perished. At 4th level or higher, you may select from an alternative lists of creature (see below). Should you select a venomous companion from one of these alternative lists, the creature gains abilities as if your poisoner level was lower than it actually is. Subtract the value indicated in the appropriate list header from your poisoner level and compare the result with the poisoner level entry on the table to determine the venomous companion’s powers. (If this adjustment would reduce your poisoner effective level to 0 or lower, you can’t have that creature as a companion.)
This ability can be used to qualify for feat, prestige class or other in place of the animal companion ability.
If you have level in class that grant an animal companion (such as druid) four things can happen as follow,
You can either keep both the animal companion and the venomous companion in that case simply calculate the power grant to each creature separately as normal. If you gain level in a class which level stack to determine an animal companion power (such as Animal lordCAd) only one creature can gain the benefit of it either your animal companion or your venomous companion not both.
You could also choose to not gain a venomous companion, in that case you can add your poisoner level to your effective druid level to determine the power granted to your animal companion.
You could chose to dismiss your animal companion to keep only your venomous companion, in that case add half your effective druid level to your poisoner level (maximum 10) to determine the power of your venomous companion.
Finally if you select a venomous companion that you already posses as an animal companion you can choose to keep your animal companion and designate it to also be your venomous companion. The creature then gain all the normal benefit for being an animal companion plus the constitution adjustment and the special ability granted to the venomous companion depending on your poisoner level. The creature gain no other benefit from being your venomous companion such as bonus Hit dice or increases in natural armor.
Poison crafting (Ex): While tinkering with your poison you’ve discovered an unique new method to create them. At 1st level you gain the ability to harvest poison from any creature that possess a poison attack and to craft it into an usable form for you. To harvest poison from a creature you must either milk it from a willing creature, your venomous companion for example, doing so take one minute and only necessity for the creature to stand still next to you, this allow you to gain enough material for 1 dose of poison. Or you could harvest the poison from the corpse of a poisonous creature who died less than an hour ago, this take 10 minute and require a successful Heal check (DC 10 + hit dice of the creature), if this check is successful you gain enough material for 1 dose of poison, you can only harvest material from a dead creature once. The craft DC to make the harvest material into an usable poison is equal to the Fortitude saves DC of the poison in question plus a number of modifier as detailed in the table below. This take you 10 minutes and cost you 10 gp per hit dice of the creature in preservative and stabilizing agent, poison create this way only stay potent for up to 24 hours.

[/table]
*: If the poison deal more than one type of damage apply only the highest modifier
In addition you are considered the have the poison use ability for the purpose of meeting feat (or other effect) prerequisite if you do not already have it.
Immunity to poison (Ex): At second level you gain immunity to all poison and in particular those you craft yourself. This mean that you cannot be harmed by your own poison even with the benefit of you Ignore Immunity ability.
Undetectable Poison (Su): You know of course that people are often wary of poison user, you prefer to not alert them of the fact that you are one. At 3th level you can now make the poison you craft undetectable by magical mean, spell such as detect poison simply don’t report anything. In addition as long as your venomous companion is within five feet of you, magical mean cannot detect is poison either. This does not stop creature from making knowledge check about your companion however.
Modify Poison (Ex): Your mastery of poison now allow you to change the way they are applied. At 4th level, when crafting poison you can choose to change the way it’s applied either changing an ingested poison into an inhaled one or vice versa or changing an injury poison into a contact poison or vice versa. At 7th level, you can change any one categories of poison into any other.
Potent Poison The sad truth is that poison cost money, even for you as such you’ve found a way to better conserve them. At 5th level, you gain the ability to make you poison more concentrate so that you need less of it for the same effect. Each dose of poison that you craft yourself can be use twice instead of once. In effect each of dose of poison is equivalent to two dose.
Ignore Immunity (Su): You’ve learn to infuse a little magic into your poison, this make them much harder to resist. Starting at 6th level, poison you craft yourself can ignore an immunity to poison grant by a magical effect, this include spell or spell-like ability (like neutralize poison), supernatural ability or magic item. At 8h level your poison ignore any sort of poison immunity, be it magical as before, but also racial one or derived from type such as creature of the plant type. Finally at 10th level your poison are effective even against creature immune to their effect, for example your poison could deal ability damage to an undead or render unconscious a construct as appropriate for each particular poison.
Persistent Poison (Su): It’s always a problem when people find a way to heal from the damage you’ve inflicted on them with your poison, well now you have a solution. At 9th level the poison you craft that normally deal ability damage, now deal ability burn instead (see spoiler).
Ability Burn: This is a special form of ability damage that cannot be magically or psionically healed. It returns only through natural healing.

The Venomous Companion
http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/MM35_gallery/MM35_PG259a.jpg
A poisoner venomous companion is different from a normal creature of its kind in many way. It is superior to a normal creature of its kind and has special power, as described below.

[/table]
Venomous Companion Basics: Use the base statistics for a creature of the companion’s kind, but make the following changes.
Class Level: The character’s poisoner level. The poisoner’s class levels stack with levels of any other classes that are entitled to an animal companion for the purpose of determining the companion’s abilities and the alternative lists available to you, see the ability description for more detail on how this work.
Bonus HD: Extra Hit Dice the size of which depend on the type of your venomous companion (d8 for aberration, animal, outsider, plant and vermin, d10 for magical beast, d12 for dragon) each of which gains a Consitution modifier, as normal. Remember that extra Hit Dice improve the venomous companion’s base attack and base save bonuses. A venomous companion’s base attack bonus vary depending on its type, as fighter (equal to hit dice) for dragon, magical beast and outsider, as cleric (equal to ¾ hit dice) for aberration, animal, plant and vermin). A venomous companion has save that depend on its type, all good save for dragon and outsider, good Fortitude and Reflex saves for animal and magical beast, good Fortitude saves for plant and vermin and good Will saves for aberrations). A venomous companion gains additional skill points (2+int for aberration, animal, magical beast, plant and vermin, 6+int for dragon and 8+int for outsider) and feats for bonus HD as normal for advancing a monster’s Hit Dice. Even normally mindless creature, such as most plant or vermin, gain skill points and feat when they become your venomous companion, see the Mind ability below.
Changing a creature number of Hit dice will also influence the save DC of the creature poison.
Natural Armor Adj.: The number noted here is an improvement to the venomous companion’s existing natural armor bonus.
Con Adj.: Add this value to the venomous companion’s Constitution score. Remember this will also influence the save DC of the creature poison.
Mind: If you choose a venomous companion that is normally mindless, it lose the mindless special quality (and the immunity to mind affecting effect that it represent) in exchange it gain an Intelligence score of 1 and is considered an animal for the purpose of the Handle animal skill for you.
Bonus Tricks: If your venomous companion is an animal (or was previously mindless, see above). The value given in this column is the total number of “bonus” tricks that the creature knows in addition to any that you might choose to teach it (see the Handle Animal skill). These bonus tricks don’t require any training time or Handle Animal checks, and they don’t count against the normal limit of tricks known by the creature. You selects these bonus tricks, and once selected, they can’t be changed. If your venomous companion has an Intelligence score of 3 or more, it gain no benefit from this ability.
Link (Ex): You can handle your venomous companion as a free action, or push it as a move action, even if you don’t have any ranks in the Handle Animal skill. You gains a +4 circumstance bonus on all Handle Animal checks made regarding your venomous companion.
Share Spells (Ex): At your option, you may have any spell (but not any spell-like ability) you casts upon yourself also affect your venomous companion. The venomous companion must be within 5 feet of you at the time of casting to receive the benefit. If the spell or effect has a duration other than instantaneous, it stops affecting the venomous companion if the companion moves farther than 5 feet away and will not affect the creature again, even if it returns to you before the duration expires.
Additionally, you may cast a spell with a target of “You” on your venomous companion (as a touch range spell) instead of on yourself. You and your venomous companion can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the companion’s type.
Envenom Weapon (Ex): As a move action, when your venomous companion is within 5 feet of you, it can apply any contact or injury poison it posses to any one weapon you are holding. The poison remain potent for 1 minute or until you successfully hit a creature with the weapon, whichever come first.
Evasion (Ex): If a venomous companion is subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, it takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw.
Devotion (Ex): A venomous companion gains a +4 morale bonus on Will saves against enchantment spells and effects.
Improved Evasion (Ex): When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, a venomous companion takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and only half damage if the saving throw fails.
Alternative Venomous Companion A poisoner of sufficiently high level can select her venomous companion from one of the following lists, applying the indicated adjustment to the poisoner’s level (in parentheses) for purposes of determining the companion’s characteristics and special abilities.

Weapon Proficiencies: You gain no new proficiency with any weapon or armor. You can cast poisoner spells while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. However, like any other arcane spellcaster, a poisoner wearing medium or heavy armor or using a shield incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has a somatic component (most do). A multiclass poisoner still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from other classes.
Spellcasting: Beginning at 1st level, you gains the ability to cast a number of arcane spells. To cast a spell, you must have an Intelligence score of at least 10 + the spell’s level, so a poisoner with an Intelligence of 10 or lower cannot cast these spells. Poisoner bonus spells are based on Intelligence, and saving throws against these spells have a DC of 10 + spell level + your Intelligence bonus. Like other spellcasters, you can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Your base daily spell allotment is given on the table above. In addition, you receives bonus spells per day if you have a high Intelligence score. When you gets 0 spells per day of a given spell level you gains only the bonus spells you would be entitled to based on your Intelligence score for that spell level. The poisoner’s spell list appears below. Unlike a bard or sorcerer, you may know any number of spells. You must choose and prepare your spells ahead of time by getting a good night’s sleep and spending 1 hour studying your spellbook. While studying, you decides which spells to prepare. You cannot prepare any spell not recorded in your spellbook, except for read magic, which all poisoner can prepare from memory. When you enter into this class you must obtain an empty spellbook for yourself (DM are encouraged to just give one shortly before you enter this class). You can immediately add any two poisoner spell plus read magic to your spellbook. At each new poisoner level, you gains two new spells of any spell level or levels that you can cast (based on your new poisoner level) for your spellbook. At any time, a poisoner can also add spells found in other spellbooks (or from scroll) to her own, in the same way that a wizard can do so.
Venomous Companion: You gain the service of a venomous companion. The creature is similar to a druid’s animal companion (PH 35), but it can be some other type of creature instead of an animal. Choose one of the following creature with an alignment up to one step away from your own on each of the alignment axis as your venomous companion: Dinosaur, SwindlespitterMM3 p40, Giant Bee, Howler WaspMM4 p74, Minor Flame SnakeFF p73, Monstrous Centipede (Small, Medium or Large), Monstrous Scorpion (Small or Medium), Monstrous Spider (Small, Medium or Large), Reed SnakeSK p84, Snake (Small, Medium or Large Viper), Snake, Two-headed AdderFRCS p308, Tirbana EyewingMM5 p172, Twig BlightMM2 p197, WatchspiderCoS:W p140
This creature is a loyal companion that accompanies you on your adventures and help you as much as it can, you could milk it for its venom for example. It is completely typical for its kind except as noted below. As you advance in level, the creature’s power increases as shown on the table. If you releases your companion from your service, you may gain a new one by performing a ceremony requiring 24 uninterrupted hours of meditation. This method can also replace a venomous companion that has perished. At 4th level or higher, you may select from an alternative lists of creature (see below). Should you select a venomous companion from one of these alternative lists, the creature gains abilities as if your poisoner level was lower than it actually is. Subtract the value indicated in the appropriate list header from your poisoner level and compare the result with the poisoner level entry on the table to determine the venomous companion’s powers. (If this adjustment would reduce your poisoner effective level to 0 or lower, you can’t have that creature as a companion.)
This ability can be used to qualify for feat, prestige class or other in place of the animal companion ability.
If you have level in class that grant an animal companion (such as druid) four things can happen as follow,
You can either keep both the animal companion and the venomous companion in that case simply calculate the power grant to each creature separately as normal. If you gain level in a class which level stack to determine an animal companion power (such as Animal lordCAd) only one creature can gain the benefit of it either your animal companion or your venomous companion not both.
You could also choose to not gain a venomous companion, in that case you can add your poisoner level to your effective druid level to determine the power granted to your animal companion.
You could chose to dismiss your animal companion to keep only your venomous companion, in that case add half your effective druid level to your poisoner level (maximum 10) to determine the power of your venomous companion.
Finally if you select a venomous companion that you already posses as an animal companion you can choose to keep your animal companion and designate it to also be your venomous companion. The creature then gain all the normal benefit for being an animal companion plus the constitution adjustment and the special ability granted to the venomous companion depending on your poisoner level. The creature gain no other benefit from being your venomous companion such as bonus Hit dice or increases in natural armor.
Poison crafting (Ex): While tinkering with your poison you’ve discovered an unique new method to create them. At 1st level you gain the ability to harvest poison from any creature that possess a poison attack and to craft it into an usable form for you. To harvest poison from a creature you must either milk it from a willing creature, your venomous companion for example, doing so take one minute and only necessity for the creature to stand still next to you, this allow you to gain enough material for 1 dose of poison. Or you could harvest the poison from the corpse of a poisonous creature who died less than an hour ago, this take 10 minute and require a successful Heal check (DC 10 + hit dice of the creature), if this check is successful you gain enough material for 1 dose of poison, you can only harvest material from a dead creature once. The craft DC to make the harvest material into an usable poison is equal to the Fortitude saves DC of the poison in question plus a number of modifier as detailed in the table below. This take you 10 minutes and cost you 10 gp per hit dice of the creature in preservative and stabilizing agent, poison create this way only stay potent for up to 24 hours.
{table=head]Categorie|Modifier||Damage*|Modifier||Dice|Modifie r||Condition|Modifier
Contact|+10||Str or Dex|+0||1 or less|+0||Unconsciousness|+0
Ingested|+0||Con|+5||2|+5||Paralysis|+2
Inhaled|+5||Int, Wis or Cha|+3||3 or more|+10||Death|+15
Injury|+3
[/table]
*: If the poison deal more than one type of damage apply only the highest modifier
In addition you are considered the have the poison use ability for the purpose of meeting feat (or other effect) prerequisite if you do not already have it.
Immunity to poison (Ex): At second level you gain immunity to all poison and in particular those you craft yourself. This mean that you cannot be harmed by your own poison even with the benefit of you Ignore Immunity ability.
Undetectable Poison (Su): You know of course that people are often wary of poison user, you prefer to not alert them of the fact that you are one. At 3th level you can now make the poison you craft undetectable by magical mean, spell such as detect poison simply don’t report anything. In addition as long as your venomous companion is within five feet of you, magical mean cannot detect is poison either. This does not stop creature from making knowledge check about your companion however.
Modify Poison (Ex): Your mastery of poison now allow you to change the way they are applied. At 4th level, when crafting poison you can choose to change the way it’s applied either changing an ingested poison into an inhaled one or vice versa or changing an injury poison into a contact poison or vice versa. At 7th level, you can change any one categories of poison into any other.
Potent Poison The sad truth is that poison cost money, even for you as such you’ve found a way to better conserve them. At 5th level, you gain the ability to make you poison more concentrate so that you need less of it for the same effect. Each dose of poison that you craft yourself can be use twice instead of once. In effect each of dose of poison is equivalent to two dose.
Ignore Immunity (Su): You’ve learn to infuse a little magic into your poison, this make them much harder to resist. Starting at 6th level, poison you craft yourself can ignore an immunity to poison grant by a magical effect, this include spell or spell-like ability (like neutralize poison), supernatural ability or magic item. At 8h level your poison ignore any sort of poison immunity, be it magical as before, but also racial one or derived from type such as creature of the plant type. Finally at 10th level your poison are effective even against creature immune to their effect, for example your poison could deal ability damage to an undead or render unconscious a construct as appropriate for each particular poison.
Persistent Poison (Su): It’s always a problem when people find a way to heal from the damage you’ve inflicted on them with your poison, well now you have a solution. At 9th level the poison you craft that normally deal ability damage, now deal ability burn instead (see spoiler).
Ability Burn: This is a special form of ability damage that cannot be magically or psionically healed. It returns only through natural healing.

http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/MM35_gallery/MM35_PG259a.jpg

[/table]
Venomous Companion Basics: Use the base statistics for a creature of the companion’s kind, but make the following changes.
Class Level: The character’s poisoner level. The poisoner’s class levels stack with levels of any other classes that are entitled to an animal companion for the purpose of determining the companion’s abilities and the alternative lists available to you, see the ability description for more detail on how this work.
Bonus HD: Extra Hit Dice the size of which depend on the type of your venomous companion (d8 for aberration, animal, outsider, plant and vermin, d10 for magical beast, d12 for dragon) each of which gains a Consitution modifier, as normal. Remember that extra Hit Dice improve the venomous companion’s base attack and base save bonuses. A venomous companion’s base attack bonus vary depending on its type, as fighter (equal to hit dice) for dragon, magical beast and outsider, as cleric (equal to ¾ hit dice) for aberration, animal, plant and vermin). A venomous companion has save that depend on its type, all good save for dragon and outsider, good Fortitude and Reflex saves for animal and magical beast, good Fortitude saves for plant and vermin and good Will saves for aberrations). A venomous companion gains additional skill points (2+int for aberration, animal, magical beast, plant and vermin, 6+int for dragon and 8+int for outsider) and feats for bonus HD as normal for advancing a monster’s Hit Dice. Even normally mindless creature, such as most plant or vermin, gain skill points and feat when they become your venomous companion, see the Mind ability below.
Changing a creature number of Hit dice will also influence the save DC of the creature poison.
Natural Armor Adj.: The number noted here is an improvement to the venomous companion’s existing natural armor bonus.
Con Adj.: Add this value to the venomous companion’s Constitution score. Remember this will also influence the save DC of the creature poison.
Mind: If you choose a venomous companion that is normally mindless, it lose the mindless special quality (and the immunity to mind affecting effect that it represent) in exchange it gain an Intelligence score of 1 and is considered an animal for the purpose of the Handle animal skill for you.
Bonus Tricks: If your venomous companion is an animal (or was previously mindless, see above). The value given in this column is the total number of “bonus” tricks that the creature knows in addition to any that you might choose to teach it (see the Handle Animal skill). These bonus tricks don’t require any training time or Handle Animal checks, and they don’t count against the normal limit of tricks known by the creature. You selects these bonus tricks, and once selected, they can’t be changed. If your venomous companion has an Intelligence score of 3 or more, it gain no benefit from this ability.
Link (Ex): You can handle your venomous companion as a free action, or push it as a move action, even if you don’t have any ranks in the Handle Animal skill. You gains a +4 circumstance bonus on all Handle Animal checks made regarding your venomous companion.
Share Spells (Ex): At your option, you may have any spell (but not any spell-like ability) you casts upon yourself also affect your venomous companion. The venomous companion must be within 5 feet of you at the time of casting to receive the benefit. If the spell or effect has a duration other than instantaneous, it stops affecting the venomous companion if the companion moves farther than 5 feet away and will not affect the creature again, even if it returns to you before the duration expires.
Additionally, you may cast a spell with a target of “You” on your venomous companion (as a touch range spell) instead of on yourself. You and your venomous companion can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the companion’s type.
Envenom Weapon (Ex): As a move action, when your venomous companion is within 5 feet of you, it can apply any contact or injury poison it posses to any one weapon you are holding. The poison remain potent for 1 minute or until you successfully hit a creature with the weapon, whichever come first.
Evasion (Ex): If a venomous companion is subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, it takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw.
Devotion (Ex): A venomous companion gains a +4 morale bonus on Will saves against enchantment spells and effects.
Improved Evasion (Ex): When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, a venomous companion takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and only half damage if the saving throw fails.
