Taste Identification
Taste Identification (Taste ID) samples consumables to detect poison. The prose is community-derived (paraphrased from the uorenaissance.com skill list plus ServUO behavior) pending field verification; the stats table and skill-check note below are source-verified against ServUO.
What it does
Section titled “What it does”Taste ID lets you sample food, drink, or a potion to find out whether it is poisoned before you consume it — a safety check against Poisoning traps on food. It is a niche skill with limited use outside that specific defensive scenario.
How to use it
Section titled “How to use it”Activate the skill and target the food or drink. A successful roll reports whether it carries poison (and roughly how strong). See poison & status.
How to train it
Section titled “How to train it”- Low/high skill — taste consumables repeatedly; any food/drink works as a target.
See skill gain.
Mechanics & numbers
Section titled “Mechanics & numbers”| Primary stat | Intelligence |
| Secondary stat | Strength |
| Title | Praegustator |
| Mastery skill | No |
| Gain notes | skill-ups can raise Str +0.2, Int +0.8 (per-use stat gain weights) |
From Scripts/Skills/TasteID.cs: the check is CheckTargetSkill(TasteID, food, 0, 100); on
success it reads food.Poison and reports the poison (if any).
