Assassins can poison a piercing weapon that they can use in combat to affect
their target much like the spell used by priests and necromancers.  The poison
must be applied with a piercing weapon and reduces the target's strength by 1
or up to 3, depending on rank. The assassin will be delayed by 2 rounds after 
an attempt. Poison also greatly reduces the regeneration rate for your victim.
