Poison is a damage type.

Poison damage is inflicted by venomous fangs, toxic plants, noxious gas, and other toxins.
Many sources of poison damage can leave a creature Poisoned. Posion in some cases causes Unconsciousness, and can even force a carry slot to be lost instantly.
Resistance, immunity, or vulnerability to poison damage respectively grants resistance, immunity, or vulnerability to the Poisoned condition—and vice versa.
While poison challenges the Grit of most living creatures, all objects and nonliving creatures are immune to poison damage.
Although few creatures are vulnerable to poison damage, poisons are often debilitating to those affected by them.
