This Hearthstone was one of two given to Desan after his first successful mission as an assasin for house Tepet.

Note: This item appears in Aspect Book: Earth from first edition. There are no second edition rules for this stone yet, but since the mechanics are simple enough, we simply took the stone to work as it was written.

Also, we added the mechanic of being able to mix poisons to improve their strengths. This mechanic is fairly simple. You take one of your poisons as your "base poison", and all other poison's being added are considered an "enhancing poison." You make a Craft Water roll, as per the book, and each success lets you improve the stats of the "base poison" by one, to a maximum of the highest stat of any one of the "enhancing poisons".

For example, if your "base poison" does 3L, and one of your "enhancing poisons" does 6L, you could use up to 3 successes to improve the combined poison's Damage to 6L. Any further successes can not be used to improve the "base poison's" damage, but they could be used to improve other stats, so long as they do not exceed the highest stat amongst all the poisons.

I'd like to eventually add onto this mechanic, so that special effects of various poisons could also be added onto the combined poison, but so far, I do not have that fleshed out.
