Poison, Drugs, & Rock N' Roll

[GrassyGnoll]

How'd one go about maximizing the poisoning abilities of the Athasian bard class? I was thinking feats from BoVD, HoH, etc. I think the first and most obvious move would be to take the poison immunity feat for my preferred modus operandi. My plan for trade secret progression is for coolheaded and scorpion's touch, but should I look over smoke stick application? What prestige classes put an emphasis or make good use of poison? That sort of stuff.

Forgive my ignorance, but Athasian Bard?

What is he, and where is he from.

And, if he's 'ath asian, what's the other hath? (sorry, really bad pun, but it had to be done).

Athasian refers to the world of Athas, the setting of the Dark Sun campaign setting.


As far as poison goes, I know there's some stuff about it in Complete Scoundrel, as well as the two you mentioned. The only two classes/PrCs that I can think of off the top of my head that have anything to do with poison are Ninja and Assassin, and they're not that great.
