Gah, spiders! I've just been poisoned by a big one. I do have the ingredients to make anti-venom, but I'm also in quite a safe place at the moment (well, apart from all the giant spiders).
Can I let my minotaur soak up the poison for a set time and then rest to regain the health, or do I have to use an anti-venom potion to cure him?

If you just walk it off, the poison will eventually go away on its own (or the character will die, which has the same net result :).
I've just done some tests with the spiders on level 3, with rather interesting results. At 8 points of poison resistance, I took an average of 84 HP of damage; with 58 points of poison resistance, I took an average of 35 HP of damage.
Some other notes:
Here's my raw data if anyone wants to look at it. I noted where I think I took 0 points of damage with "0?".
