Lethargy poison is commonly used in hit-and-run tactics by drow and others who want their victims alive; the ambusher retreats until the poison sets in and the victim falls unconscious. Further exposure to lethargy poison does not require the target to attempt additional saving throws; only failing an saving throw against an ongoing exposure can progress its stage.
Saving Throw DC 18 Fortitude; Maximum Duration 4 hours; Stage 1 slowed 1 (1 round); Stage 2 slowed 1 (1 minute); Stage 3 unconscious with no Perception check to wake up (1 round); Stage 4 unconscious with no Perception check to wake up (1d4 hours).
