Wtf is up with drow poison??

[BadScientist]

Karlach just got hit by drow poison and it says she is asleep and poisoned until long rest! Wtf? Why is there no turn limit??

When I try to use lesser restoration on her, it says she isn't poisoned. She has the condition "stricken with drow poison." Wtf (again)? How is she not poisoned??

When I try to use greater restoration, it seems to work and she gets back up and then immediately falls back down and still has "stricken with drow poison," completely wasting an action. Wtf (for the third time)? Is drow poison really meant to be this OP??

EDIT: Should also note that I had the "Thoroughly Stuffed" buff active which is supposed to prevent being poisoned.

Just punch her lol

I need to start using drow poison.

Have you considered giving her an antidote?

[Sardorim]

Hit her or cure her.

Giving a poisoned person anti-poison antidote? Are you mad?! That will never work!

Isn't saying anti-poison antidote kind of redundant?

What other types of antidotes are there?

Isn't the 'help' action enough to wake her? I mean sure you could punch her if it was mid combat and you want to use your other attacks instead of spending the entire action on waking her

I didn't try it myself, but I read on reddit that antidotes don't work either, which isn't surprising. Why would that work if lesser restoration doesn't?

You should report this as a bug with screenshots and all.
If you are lucky they will notice and fix it in 2-3months.

Shoving doesn't work for this particular thing. I just tried it.

It IS a poison, but the effect, Sleeping, is NOT. That is, the Poison itself is not causing the continuous Sleep state. It just initiates it. And the DEFINITION of the effect is Sleep Until Next Long Rest.

Not a bug. Intended behavior.

Nothing you can do to end it other than Long Rest.

Um, a lot of things say "until long rest" but you can still cure them with spells.

Also, the condition is not "Sleeping," the condition is "stricken with drow poison." Sleeping is just part of the effect of that condition.
