Noting this: Dripping poison is known as a very deadly poison but it is incapable of killing you mechanically. Fauntei Shi can kill you but is plot poison because only the Scorpion have it and no PC will ever get their hands on it. Fire Biter just does some extra damage a few minute later but in order for it to kill, you need to take a lot of damage first. Hot Madness cannot kill, but the disease Boiled Mind can and then only if your Willpower is 2 or less. Pufferfish can kill but take hours. Despite saying “can be administered in large doses quickly to kill a victim”, Kirei-ko cannot kill you mechanically because even though it is a poison that lowers Earth, poisons that lower earth do not kill you. Night Milk / Night Rot cannot kill. Snake Venom cannot kill and the disease only lowers you Agility and Reflexes and not Earth.
