			#'''Silent kill:''' Guards would not notice the poisoning process, unless it was directly next to them and in their line of sight, though even then it was not guaranteed that they would always notice.
			#'''Attention:''' Distraction was an important tool to any Assassin. If Ezio was looking for a silent approach that [[Smoke screen bomb\|smoke bombs]] could not provide, and if he could not find any [[Thief\|thieves]], [[Mercenary\|mercenaries]], or [[courtesan]]s within the immediate area, the Poison Blade could be used as an effective substitute. Poisoning anyone within ten meters of a guard's position would cause them, as well as all other guards near them, to move away from their position to where the poisoned victim was standing. Once the victim had drawn their attention, Ezio could either assassinate the guards and give away his position, or silently proceed towards his objective. Once the victim succumbed to the poison, the guards would immediately start an investigation and would become suspicious of Ezio if they spotted him.
			#'''Clean kill:''' When performing an assassination contract, a single target could have at least one guard following close behind them. Ezio could poison the guard and move away into a [[hiding spot]], while the aforementioned guard could inadvertently kill the target for him, eliminating the need to ever come out of hiding after the first administration.

	Based on Altaïr's design in the [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's Codex\|Codex]], it was later crafted by [[Leonardo da Vinci]], for use by [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]. The weapon was essentially a thin, hollow needle hidden within the blade which could be filled with [[poison]]. Because of its exceedingly thin profile and the requirement of a hollow chamber, the Poison Blade risked being particularly brittle, and in his Codex, Altaïr cautioned that deviations from his exact schematics would likely produce a blade that could easily fracture.

	Even more inconspicuous than the Hidden Blade, the Poison Blade could be used to inject a target with poison, causing them to attack anyone within range, before dying.

	Besides dealing a direct kill to the intended assassination target, the Poison Blade could also be used as a distraction, as anyone within the immediate area would stop to watch the poisoned victim, creating an assassination opportunity if one of the spectators happened to be a target. Additionally, one could poison someone as a distraction to cover an approach to a restricted area in the same manner.<ref name="AC2"/>		Besides dealing a direct kill to the intended assassination target, the Poison Blade could also be used as a distraction, as anyone within the immediate area would stop to watch the poisoned victim, creating an assassination opportunity if one of the spectators happened to be a target.

	The Poison Blade was especially useful when completing [[assassination contracts]], as in many cases, targets would either be followed by [[guards]] or within a guarded area. Poison vials could be bought from a [[Doctors\|doctor]] at 175 florins each, and up to five could be initially carried at a time.
