Poison

[Lobby4]

Is there some sort of rule of when you are poisoned by a player or is it just random?

[tru_vampire0]

be more specific?

[Lobby4]

I mean like how sometimes you are poisoned right away, and sometimes they don't poison you for a minute.

[The_Dragon_Reborn]

Poison hits you once every minute, or 30 seconds depending on the strength of the weapon poison.

I think he is wondering what are the chances of you getting posioned. By another player such as in the dueling arena, you have to get hit by them. Even then you can go a few hits without getting posioned or get posioned on the first hit. That is just chance.

[Lobby4]

I mean when the poison starts. Sometimes you don't get poisened right away by their wep. Is their any rule when you'll be poisened, like after 2 hits?

[The_Dragon_Reborn]

I think it's just random. But, most of the time, the first hit poisons your opponent.

[25leaf]

Yep it is random, but players do have to hit you do inflict posion. The hit that posions you is pretty random.

Are you certain about that? Because I know for a fact that monsters can poison you while you are protected. For example, poison spiders can poison you even though you are protected from melee, so are you sure it doesn't work that way with players?

It's random, but must often it hits you on the first hit.

Protection prayer only prevents you from taking damage from the main hit damage, not from the side effects associated with it. Main damage is the damage that the weapon inflicts without any other effects kicking in (like a Dragon Dagger hit, with no poison, no prayer, etc.). Boost prayers modify this Main Damage, and Protection Prayer reduces this Main Damage to zero if it is non-zero (however if it is non-zero, you are still considered to be hit). For the record, Dharok's Set Special (and the only barrow set special that does this) modifies the Main Damage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now Protection prayer does NOT stop you from any other side effects applying to you should you be considered to be hit. Popular Examples of side Effects are:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poisons from Poisoned weapons

 

 

 

Barrow Set effects (with exception of Dharok. Hence if you were praying against Guthan, and Guthan supposedly hits you for 23 and heals. You will take 0 damage due to prayer, however he will heal 23)

 

 

 

Smite Prayer

 

 

 

Any Side effects from special attacks from weapons, such as energy drain.

When you are poisened by a hit, it shall appear as a green splash.
