So...If I'm reading the poison rules correctly, the first save would be against stagger, and the following ones would be sleep for 1 minute? And it can be used multiple times per day. Isn't that kinda insane for a Paizo race? Definitely not what I'd expect. Also, although it says you envenom the weapon, there's nothing that says the venom can't be taken from the weapon, and then stored, right (say, if you've got uses left before bed time)?
So, anyway, I was looking for a way to optimally use it. First off is at least an Alchemist (Metamorph) 1 / Barbarian (Titan Mauler) 1 for +8 to Con, and bonus to hit when being small (when you're against poison-vulnerable units). I was thinking about just finishing the rest of the build off with more Alchemist levels. I mean, it's moderately well rounded, and can help with poison discoveries but doesn't really scale with Con. Is there some better Con-based class I can take?
I could definitely go for Sage (http://spheresofpower.wikidot.com/sage) and eventually gain an additional +10 to Con, and +6 Enhancement, and be able to build a pretty well-rounded character. But, I think I want to lay off of SoP for now, for the large part....exception being to the Dual Wield sphere (http://spheresofpower.wikidot.com/dual-wielding), as feats.
...And Alchemy talents, like Lasting Application (http://spheresofpower.wikidot.com/alchemy#toc11), Specialized Venom (http://spheresofpower.wikidot.com/alchemy#toc17) for those pesky things that were once immune to your poison, and Skilled Applicator (http://spheresofpower.wikidot.com/alchemy#toc15) if using Alchemist's Concentrate Poison, so I can use it swiftly. It seems somewhat dubious as it must be used within an hour of concentration, so you can't just do it at the start of the day, and yet it takes a minute to concentrate, so you can't do it before you bash down a door. Concentrate Poison seems pretty hard to just casually fit in.
As far as equipment goes, Poisoning Sheath looks decent enough, especially for using Concentrated Poison without needing Skilled Applicator, and only 50 gold each. A Pink Rhomboid Ioun Stone is also a good, early +2 Enhancement bonus to Con. Toxic (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/magic-weapons/magic-weapon-special-abilities/toxic/)daggers seem like good investments.
Anything else that I'm blatantly missing that would help?
