The only way Quality would be involved in poison is two

1) If "Diluting" was involved
or
2) If Breeding was involved

Or the reverse, if you must refine the poison or alter it in some way to turn it into a usable form.

As opposed to poison-arrow frogs, iirc.

It's called, Poison DART Frog.

[CobaltKobold]

Accepted alternate name. Or formerly-fa'ored name. It has been correct at least once.

I dont think this should go in yet, it seems to me to be to small of a detail and could have a big impact of the fort to bother with till there's a better management system or maybe user interface or... something.
It just seems to me it would probably end up being like decorating stuff with gems, you wanted that stack of *Steel Bolts* to get the poison but instead that silver sword that you use for training got it and now you only have one sword dwarf left while the rest of your soldiers are dieing in agony.

superdwarvenly tough dwarves should be able to absorb the venom and shoot it out of their tear ducts. (they don't use them for anything else!)

Dr. McNinja? =P

Person Epic - " I modified this crossbow to shoot 150 cal Explosive Piercing Rounds"

This is one of the most awesome statements ever. 

Oddly enough, I think we're getting this in the next big update. Boiling molten blood was a test piece - having a material that bursts into flames/explodes should be easy to arrange.

I don't know, but let's hope so. I guess this is related to Req359 maybe?
Req359, CONTAMINANT TEMPERATURE EFFECTS, (Future): Most importantly, metals that melt over creatures should have an effect, but the temperature of contaminants isn't currently stored.

So what does that mean? that it'll actually hurt when molten copper gets splattered onto somebody?

Yep, exactly.

[Flaede]

also, that if you have an "unstable" material that will burst into flame on contact with something the temperature of a creature's BLOOD, but reamain fine at lower room temperatures (or maybe just on the glacier you live on?)... well isn't that just a wonderful exploding arrow, then? (unless you're up against zombies. damn zombies with their "lack of body heat")

currently - not possible.
with update - seems like it might be.
