When blowguns are used against human targets, the projectiles are often envenomed - as the force of the darts alone are unlikely to cause significant harm. Within the world's hidden valley of Eodon, many of the tribesmen of the region employ blowguns in combat, with the technologically primitive Urali people appearing to have a predilection for the weapon.

Among the goblin tribes of Serpent Isle, blowguns were a popular weapon among females and were used with a relatively effective poison to assault enemies from a distance. In Britannia, the blowgun became briefly popular with bandits and pirates during the early Age of Armageddon but never came into common enough use to be available through commercial weapon's dealers.
