Baldur's Gate 3 is an isometric RPG based on the incredibly popular TTRPG Dungeons and Dragons. Similar to the much beloved TTRPG, there are a lot of traps to avoid and status effects that can hinder characters while they are out exploring the world. One of the most common that players are likely to encounter is poison and the resulting poisonings that can afflict characters. Characters can become poisoned after being hit by weapons coated in poison or by encountering poison clouds generated by environmental effects.
