I just realised something about my assassin when he strikes with poison weapon skill the enenmy gets poisoned up to like 1 - 6 times for me but it only lasts for like 8 seconds not 24! is there some kind of bug or have i misread the manual? Dundee will surely know but its probably not that big of deal....

Enemies can save vs. the poison and then only suffer 6 damage, instead of the usual amount.
