[.85][Bug] Poison is Broken

I got mixed results from 0.85, to be honest. My poisoned spears would do anything from 0 to 3 poison damage it seems.

I've seen varying damage as well (v0.85). 

I've got a Champion with poison dagger +4, sac +1, and vial +2. I haven't paid it particular mind; but I think I've seen as high as 6 damage from the dagger... [after a strike I'll see the weapon damage displayed, followed by three more damage values that I presume to be the poison]. I've definitely seen greater poison damage than 1. And saw it before I'd gotten the +2 vial. I've got a couple other champs with sacs and vials, and the assassin champ originally had a +2 dagger. So even though I haven't paid particular mind to this question, I'm fairly sure I've seen the dagger damage being applied as a value greater than 1.

It seems to me that poison damage should act as a status affect rather than as a weapon buff. But there are balance considerations I might not see.

I have a champ with a toxic bow +4 poison that is not adding the +4 poison per turn after the initial hit... The spider venom sacs are working fine.

Thanks for listening SD folks!

I can't get bows to do poison sack damage. 

In the mouseover text in-game, "Spider Venom Sacks" and "Vial of Poison" both start out saying "Melee attacks...". There is no mention of ranged attacks. That's not to say one or the other did or did not get tagged as poison capable. Within all that XML and whatnot, I imagine it is exceedingly easy to mix and match objects and actions.

I'll pay close attention to poison damage when I get back to the game. In this current game, one character has developed a taste for poison. And when next we war, she'll lead a poison specialized army. I love how Elemental fosters role playing a 4x TBS world. Fallen Enchantress has begun taking this to a whole new level. :~) 

That is funny because poisoning an arrow would be just as easy as poisoning a sword. I wonder why they would do it this way. 

Poisoned bows would be sweet.

I found a Venemous Shortbow, but it's poison doesn't work either.

Ooh.. Good find. Definitely a bug now!
