If you want all the poison effects to trigger, you have to give it one at at time (and risk the 10% chance of detection at each attempt. The rest will be given to the NPC and sit in their inventory as a potion that they now can use.

The reason why some people think they won't stack is if you give an entire stack of poison to the target at one time (any amount >= 6), only the first poison in the stack will trigger.

The same poison will stack with each other, 2 poisons of 1 damage per second for 10 seconds will do 20 damage in total over 10 seconds.

If you have the patience, you can increase your enchanting. So if you have a poison that does 2 damage for 20 seconds and one that does 1 damage for 10 seconds, for the first 10 seconds, the target will take 3 damage per second, and for the next 10 seconds, he will take 2 damage per second. You can increase your enchanting skill by wearing Ahzidals set.

All the potion effects are applied simulatenously.

I will report back later after I have found a suitably healthy target.Īfter some testing, here is what I found out: I do not know how the duration is affected as she died before the poison ran out. This video will teach the Sykrim player the basics of creating powerful, and expensive, fortify enchanting and blacksmithing potions. Her health went down noticeably faster when I gave her multiple doses. I tested this by giving multiple lingering poisons to an NPC via the poisoner perk. Lingering damage health does indeed stack.

Skyrim do potions stack
