Re: How to defeat Reflexive Insubstantial?
Poison hidden in food is a deception. The guy has to eat presumably, so when he eats he intentionally remains material with respect to the food and bites, chews, swallows, etc. When the poison begins to work enough to make him aware that something is not right, it's already taken into the tissues. He *might* be able to facilitate emptying his stomach of any as yet undigested poison with Insub, but that's a GM call and might not save him even then.
There is a comics precedent, Spider-man's spidey sense did not react to familiar, sweet old Aunt May, letting her get close enough to brain him with a lead pipe.
