I'm trying to make a character that uses poisons and such, but there
doesn't seem to be much of a selection in the various gear lists my GM
has. He said that there was a list of toxins and poisons on the web, but
I haven't found it yet. I'd appreciate it if anyone could point me in the
direction of such a list. Thanks for the help.

All I know of is a list of drugs, not poisons, which is available from
cerebus. I think it has some poisons in it, but not many...
What you could do is find some or another handbook on chemicals and safety.
Back when I did chemical engineering we had this huge book in the lab which
listed loads (hundreds? thousands?) of substances, together with their
effects when swallowed, inhaled, upon skin contact, etc. etc. plus what you
should do if you are unfortunate enough to encounter them in such a way. I
realize you might not know too much about chemistry, but I think warnings
like "Transport to hospital immediately" and "In serious cases, chance of
loss of conciousness and death" should give you a fair idea of what kind of
damage code to assign it :)

Sorry to tell you, but I don't think there is a big list in Shadowtech, just
two or three things you could use to kill someone with. The other thing
you're referring to is mainly drugs, not poisons (though you could argue
that all drugs are poisons).
