I know using poisons makes you lose some karma.

How bad is the impact of using store bought poison?

do you eventually lose the ability to buy from in town shop vendors?

Does it turn you into a criminal?

Just curious, I know it is an dumb question, but could not find a clear answer.

Thanks

The act of actually poisoning an object will not make you into a criminal. You lose karma, which is different from the criminal system. You won't lose the ability to shop from NPCs and the type of poison (lesser, normal, greater, deadly) doesn't impact the amount of karma lost.

Don't worry to much about the karma loss. It's pretty quick and easy to wipe the slate clean by killing some mobs.
