Rattlesnake

There are various types of rattlesnake, varying in length, though 1d3+2 feet supplies a rough average. They tend to be smaller in colder regions, but may reach as much as 8 feet where it is warm and food is plentiful. Although they seldom attack if unprovoked, preferring to use a warning rattle or simply move away, those who ignore these warnings or get too close risk being bitten. A thief can extract 1d3+1 doses of venom from an average rattlesnake, living or dead, with a successful Handle Poison check.
