Necrotoxins
Necrotoxins fuse alchemy and necromancy to attack not just the body or the mind, but the very soul of the victim.
Charging necrotoxins with necrotic power requires special rituals, reagents from undead creatures, and the channeling of negative energy during the brewing process. The DC of the poisoner’s kit check to brew a necrotoxin is 5 higher than the poison’s DC due to the temperamental process of its creation.

Memento Mori

Price 3,700 gp; Crafting Cost 1,850 gp
Type Poison, Inhaled; Attack +9 vs Constitution Defence
Track Wisdom; Frequency 1/round for 6 rounds
Effect Unhallow: As long as any Wisdom damage from the poison remains, the victim can’t distinguish living creatures from undead and can’t understand or read any language — spoken words sound like tearful moans and written words seem faded and tattered. While under this effect, the fear effects have advantage to hit the target and they must defend against all spells cast by others, even harmless or beneficial spells.
