(DamageIncrement)/2 damage per turn.
Doesn't regenerate hit points.
Healing effects are only half as effective.
Will become ill once the poison runs its course.

The poisoned effect can be caused by a variety of sources, ranging from the stinger of a scorpiock, falling into or ingesting green goo, to being pierced by a poison-tipped spear. It causes damage per turn, doesn't allow regenerating of hit points, and healing effects are only half as effective. Once the poison runs its course, it will cause illness. However, being ill can be prevented if the poison is removed before it times out naturally by eating a yuckwheat stem or using the Nostrums skill with starapple jam or congealed salve.
