	Generally, being poisoned means gaining the Poison [[status effect]]. Its duration and damage per turn ~~depends~~ on its severity. Poison can be stacked; multiple instances of poison will increase the severity. For players, severity is displayed by the colour of the word "Pois" (going from yellow -> light red -> red). For monsters, you can view severity by e'''x'''amining it. In tiles mode, monster poison is represented by green drops ("extremely poisoned" = 3 drops = max poison).

In addition, some spells, like [[Mercury Arrow]], [[Poisonous Vapours]], and [[Poison Arrow]], deal poison ''impact'' damage. This is the same as any regular form of damage, but is resisted by poison resistance.

	While even low-level characters can usually survive mild poisoning, severe cases can deal tremendous amounts of damage over time. In any case, it is almost always best to rest and avoid combat until the poison has run its course, perhaps on a cleared floor to avoid wandering monsters.

	*For players, poisoning has a predetermined total damage, and will deal a portion of that damage each turn.

	*Pressing % shows how much poison you have. For example, 16 -> -16 indicates that your current poison is sufficient to reduce you from 16 HP to -16 HP after accounting for [[regeneration]] and resistances. Poison damage is dealt progressively, at approximately 1/5 of the remaining poison every 10 aut. For example, without regeneration, 16 -> -16 corresponds to roughly 6.4 damage on the first tick, followed by ~~6.4 →~~ 5.1 → 4.1 etc. With regeneration, the displayed amount already accounts for the healing you will receive over the duration, so the underlying poison damage is actually greater than the displayed 32 damage, and the proportion of that 32 damage you take each turn will be front-loaded (something like 9 → 7.2 → 5.8 with 1 regeneration item).		*Pressing % shows how much poison you have.
