*In ''[[Close Combat]]'', this Special Skill forces the target to make an extra ''[[BTS]]'' Roll for each successful ''[[CC Attack]]'' declared by the user. 
*The extra ''[[BTS]]'' Roll must be made regardless of the ''[[CC Weapon]]'' or Special Ammunition used in the CC Attack.
*The ''[[Damage]]'' of this ''[[BTS]]'' Roll is determined by the user's ''[[PH]]'' Attribute and the type of ''[[CC Weapon]]'' (Knife, CC Weapon...) used in the CC Attack.
*A ''[[Critical]]'' hit in the ''[[CC Attack]]'' Roll has no effect on the extra ''[[BTS]]'' Roll imposed by this Special Skill.
*Troopers with a '''''[[Structure (STR)]]''''' Attribute instead of ''[[Wounds]]'' are immune to the effects of this Special Skill.

: '''Poison example:'''

: A misguided remark by Fusilier Angus about Haqqislamite women has escalated to a brief brawl between him and Tarik Mansuri. Angus readily loses the Face to Face ''[[CC]]'' Roll, so he must make two ''[[ARM]]'' Rolls due to the Special Ammunition on Tarik's ''[[DA CC Weapon]]''. Angus also has to make a ''[[BTS]]'' Roll due to Mansuri's Poison Special Skill. If Angus survives the barrage, maybe&mdash;just maybe&mdash;he will have learned a valuable lesson. 


''From the point of view of military research, Nature is a treasure trove of poisons, venoms and toxins with interesting potential applications. But, despite Nature's wide offer, military laboratories have synthesized many more, and tailored their effects to create fearsome bioweapons.''

''Some creatures have venom glands that turn their claws, teeth or spines into powerful offensive weapons. With these as a model, military biotech has developed enhanced glands that can be grafted onto a subject to have him generate lethal or incapacitating toxins. The effects of these synthetic toxins vary widely from manufacturer to manufacturer, but their mechanism ranges from blocking cellular metabolism&mdash;causing a quick, painful death&mdash;, to causing respiratory paralysis, to death by rapid cardiovascular collapse... The list goes on. Whatever its flavor, the purpose of a poisoned weapon is to cause a terrible, ineluctable death.''
