Usually one can find some trait to improvise from. Tough, strong, healthy, virile =) and too dumb to die have all been used. But I'm not a big fan of poison. The necessity of irksome things like bladevenom and poisons of yore is not quite as pressing in HW.

I use a scratch pad and write a series of columns. It works for me. And most players weill be HAPPY to keep track of the numbers for you -- and correct you if you get ti wrong. Think of it as practice for your aritmetic facts. I know it helps me.
