Just a few clarifications, as there is some confusion and conflicting info in this thread.

The correct way to cure poison is to set the poison register to 100% of maximum.

The easiest way to make a poison attack that will not compound or "stack" is to turn on the "reset target stat to maximum before attack" bitset for the attack.

Poison is neither turn based, nor second based.

Both regen and poison have internal counters. For each game tick, the counter increases by the speed of the poisoned character (or by 7, if the character has a speed lower than 7) Once the counter exceeds 1500, the target will be hurt by poison damage. So although poison is not turn based, faster characters will be damaged by poison more often.

And on the subject of "game ticks", in my experience there is an average of about 16 to 22 game ticks per second, depending on the speed of your computer. Your mileage may vary.

As for the "stun" register, that IS second based, and has absolutely no relation to either character speed nor game ticks (well, technically, I suppose if your computer has a really high tick rate, and since the stun register is based on "clock" seconds, a stunned character will spend slightly more "game time" stunned on a fast computer than it would on a slow computer, but the difference should be quite small)

So no negative poison values are possible then. How high can poison get?
