Interesting, I like effects that increase synergy with items. Could get pretty nutty with stronger poisons, keep in mind. No synergy with non-damage oriented poisons?

[Atranen]

A fun item because it interacts with other things you do. It might be worth capping the damage increase with poisons to 2 or 3 dice or something; if your players have access to purple worm poison or the like, it breaks the scale pretty fast.

[manyslayer]

To possibly rein in the poison damage but allow it to grow with the character, maybe limit the max increased damage dice to a number of dice equal to the wielder's proficiency bonus (or double, whichever is less). This would require attunement to access this ability, I would say.
