azione standard. dalla faq della 3.5:
How long does it take for an untrained person to apply
poison to a blade, while having a 5% chance to poison
themselves? Additionally, how long does it take someone
trained with poison, like an assassin?
Applying a poison to a weapon is the same kind of action
as applying an oil: a standard action. This remains the same
whether or not the character can apply poison without risk to
himself. The ninja class that appears in Complete Adventurer
gains the ability at 9th level to apply poison as a move action.
When in doubt, if a task requires using or activating
something, it’s probably at least a standard action (and may be
a full-round action). Most move actions either involve actual
movement of the character (such as walking, climbing, or
standing up) or moving an item (such as drawing a weapon,
closing a door, or retrieving a stored item). That isn’t a hard-
and-fast rule of the game, but it’s a useful tool to evaluate
corner cases that aren’t handled by Table 8–2: Actions in
Combat on page 141 of the Player’s Handbook.
