- Yes, Inspiring is meant for retainers, allies and hirelings!
- "Poisoner" is deliberately open-ended. Say the party really wants to kill a noble. One of the players comes up with the idea of poisoning his food. Having the "Poisoner" skill would mean that that player could ask the Warden things like, "Do I know how to make a deadly poison?" (Yes), "What ingredients would I need to make a tasteless, odorless lethal poison?" (Insert plot hook here: You might need Grimweed which only grows in ancient crypts, and Moonpetals, which only bloom at midnight). The poison could, for instance, do 3d6 damage straight to STR (and thus also trigger a Critical Damage Save), or it could simply kill instantly (a reward for all the effort).
