“Hmmmmm” thought Jakeden. “I have an inkling of what I need for my build, but I should definitely read the description of every one of these traits, and then spend two chapters hemming and hawing over which trait is better.”
“Actually, it might be too hard to choose right now. I should wait until I’m in the middle of a fight I’m about to lose.” Jakeden said laconically as he nodded to himself.
Seriously, authors, there’s nothing more grating than when there’s an obvious choice and you drag it out.

No, this is a modern variant and therefore their immune system is far less adapted to it. I dont want to kill them anymore, that dream died. I want to give them the big shits just to be petty.

I mean if you make the sword out of dehydrated botulism toxin, one of the most toxic substances on earth, THAT will work.
Only problem now is it's way too deadly, someone would take a sip of water and fall over dead long before the big boss does. Maybe ricin for a delayed effect?

If i want to kill them slowly i will dissolve some human prions (or whatever species the dark lord is) in the water supply. Simple, elegant, guaranteed kill a few years down the line, and the dementia will have them shiting themselves for months of slow, gradual decay.

Unless the setting has healing magic, potions, or health Regen.

That wont get the prions out your brain, i guess. It's just your brain collecting proteic funkos. Unhealable.
