IIRC, these only grant immunity to the condition of being Poisoned; that is, they prevent you from taking the continual damage from such things as Spider bites, the Dagger of Venom, Arrows of Biting, etc., while the green skull-&-crossbones shows up on your portrait. They do not grant immunity to Poison damage, caused by such things as Cloudkill and Green Dragon Breath, and possibly weapons like the Spear of Withering.

The Ring of Anti-Venom and Item Upgrade's Amulet of Ilmater, however, provide 100% Poison resistance, as does a Cavalier's immunity. These will allow you to ignore a Cloudkill as if it wasn't even there--except that, even with 100% (or greater) resistance to an element, your character will still "hiccup" from the "damage." This is really only relevant to spellcasters, who can still get their spell disrupted by getting hit with an element that they're immune to.

Certain weapons, namely the Corthala Family Blade and Jhor the Bleeder, cause "Bleeding" damage, which is based off of Poison damage--I'm not sure how immunity to Poison or being poisoned affects the extra damage from these weapons, if at all. [/QUOTE]AFAIK, both the Periapt and the Ring of Gaxx set your Poison Resistance to 100%.
