[FFML] What would ciguatoxin do to Ranma?

[Benjamin Gemignani]

Probably something along the lines of the Cat's Tongue point. AFAIK, that poison only affects the perception, not the reality. The Cat's Tongue boosted Ranma's thermal sensitivity without affecting the absolute temperature threshold at which the curse activated/deactivated. Presumably, the curse would still have switched, could Ranma withstand the intense agony that the hot water would bring for long enough.
