duvessa wrote:well I was around when spider's nest was designed so let me fill you in. the design of the branch was always "things that poison you, sometimes in slightly different ways." but the dev team ran into a problem here, which is that poison resistance allows you to resist poison. but they really liked the idea of spider, so they decided to make it so that poison resistance doesn't make you resistant to poison anymore. it was quite an ingenious solution, really
however, let's not give the dcss devs 100% of the credit. poison immunity not making you immune to poison was linley henzell's idea.

/poison
Pattern not found (press RETURN)
(If anyone has better wording suggestions, I'd certainly appreciate them; among other things, the current description is kind of awkwardly long...)
