Poison Attacks

[Pnumbra]

Why is this attack solely INT based:

Icon Enhancement Heartseeker Poison.png Heartseeker Poison: Melee Poison Attack: On damage: -1 fort save (stacks 5 times), On Crit: 1d6 Con damage, On vorpal: Heartseeker (-5% hit points, Fort save to negate DC 10 + half Rogue level + INT modifier)

Icon Enhancement Soulshatter Poison.png Soulshatter Poison: Melee Poison Attack: On damage: -1 Will save (stacks 5 times), on Crit: 1d6 Wis damage, on Vorpal: Shattermantle (-100 Spell Resistance for 10 seconds; Will save to negate, DC 10 + half Rogue level + INT modifier)

All other attacks use either DEX or INT.

Yes they do.

Even on Int build the DC's are trash. With 100 Int DC would be 10+10+45=65. Even with Toxin Affinity the DC would be only 68. Snake Bite: Poison Attacks Filigree adds +4 DC for total of 72 which is still too low. The effects also require Vorpal so only use for them is to apply Weakening and Deadly Strikes debuff.

From a previous thread I think its better to change to this formula.
Poison Strikes DC changed from (Fort DC 10 + half Rogue level + INT modifier negates) to (Fort DC 10 + Rogue level + DEX/INT modifier + bonuses to Assassinate). The ability would also benefit from things that boost Poison attacks.

Maybe this might get a change when Alchemist is released as it seems like will have some kind of Poison attack options.
