Unless something is Gourmet, and cooked on a plate with some kind of Heraldry mark, or wrapped in something which has the maker's name or mark on it, you shouldn't be able to see who cooked food by probing it.
It makes no sense that you could tell a fishcake, garlic soup or a loaf of bread that I made apart from one made by Mejhura, and it really doesn't make sense that even if you could tell them apart, that you could put a name to the food.
It makes sense for clothes, weapons, armour, jewelry, painting and statues, because there are tags, inscriptions and signitures which can be put on all those.
Would make the ability to poison food much better if you couldn't probe it and see who made it. Say I got someone to poison a half dozen fish stakes, put them in a parcel and mailed them off to Daevos (After signing the letter from a well known Magnagoran Chef) as a 'thank you' to the Emporer. It might make sense that he has a food taster to keep poisoned food from him, but it wouldn't make sense that he could simply probe the fishcake and see that it was made by a Serenwilder he's never even met in person.

So THAT'S what gluttony's for. I wonder if satiation gives you less chance to resist the poison, or something.

It's pretty high up, the skill used that can actually kill. Other than that, you can use the food to put someone to sleep, or give them botulism.. not sure about anything else.
Shiri2004-12-26 11:36:43
Is the sleep thing a command, like forcing someone to sleep, or is it like a pixie arrow/sword slash?
Jalain2004-12-26 11:43:36
You use the poison that can be put on weapons and put it on the food. I think it's 5 applications onto each food item for Botulism and Sleep. For the killing one, it's a whole vial of the 'voyria' kind of poison.

You should be able to use every poison in food... methinks.

I think you should be able to poison drinks too. I mean really, the sleep poison should be able to be slipped into that glass of whiskey you're handing that anoying guy that just WONT leave you alone. -snicker-

Yeah I would like that myself. Personally having soup become the only thing you can douse with some sleeping venom I think is kinda rotten.

Especially when you mailing babies, a kind letter and some poisoned food to a kindly serenwilder -eyeshift-
