Master of the Secret Vial
When an assassin reaches a certain level, he is often driven to specialize in one field. If he chooses poisons as this field, then he usually forgoes the tremendous financial drain of buying all of his poisons in exchange for making his own. These master-craftsmen, also called known as the ‘Secret Vials’, have truly mastered the art of poison crafting.
Hit Die: d6
Requirements: To become a Secret-Vial, a character must fulfil the following requirements:
Alignment: Any non-good
Skills: Craft (poison) 8 ranks
Special: Poison Use class Feature
Special: Must have crafted a poison and used it successfully.
Class Skills: Bluff, Craft, Gather information, Heal, Hide, Knowledge (Dungeoneering) (Geography) (Local) (Nature), Move Silently, Profession, Search, Survival
Skill Points at each level: 8+ Int modifier.

Vial-lore: bonus to heal checks and survival checks involving poisons, this bonus is half of your Secret-Vial level (minimum 1).
Improved Poison Use: When applying poison, the Secret Vial can take a move action instead of a standard action.
Brew Poison: A Secret-Vial is so adept at crafting poison that each craft (poison) check he makes creates double the quantity of a regular check at no extra cost. When making a Craft (poison) check to create a dose of poison, a Secret-Vial adds a +1 competence bonus to the total. This increases by +1 every odd level, for a total of +5 at 9th level.
Poisonous Talent: At 2nd, 6th, and 10th levels, a Secret-Vial can select a special ability from the following list:
Rapid Application: The Secret-Vial can apply poison to his weapon as a swift action.
Relapse: Any creature affected by a poison crafted by this Secret-Vial must roll his secondary fortitude save twice, accepting the lower of the two as their result
Longer Lasting: When a Secret-Vial applies poison to a weapon, it retains its potency longer. The poison does not wear off until the weapon has struck twice, whether at one target or two.
Accelerated Onset: The Secret-Vial's poisons take half as long to force a fortitude save against the secondary damage (5 rounds instead of 10).
Improved Formula: All resist DC's for the poisons crafted by the Secret-Vial increase by half his Secret-Vial level (minimum 1) + his intelligence modifier.
Sneak Attack: As the Rogue ability, stacks with other sneak attacks.
Poisonous Mastery: When a Secret-Vial reaches 10th level, his skill in formulating and using poisons is at its peak. All poisons that the Secret-Vial makes and uses increase the size of their damage die by 1 category (so a poison that deals 1d4 Dex damage will deal 1d6 instead, or 2d6 will become 2d8). This does not affect poison that deals a stated amount of damage, or no damage at all. The price of crafting the poison does not increase, nor does the time required. He also gains immunity from all non-magical poisons.
This is a Prestige Class made mostly by Wraithy, I helped out. What do you all think?
