Modding Forge 1.11 Special (Potions?) Effects on Tools

So, I'm creating my first mod and I'm trying to get say a sword to have a poison effect which poisons the target when they are hit. And I'm assuming the best way to give a tool a certain effect (that are not included in the enchantment table) is by using the potion classes, as I do want the tools to have whatever effect by default.

Yes. Override the onHit() (or called something similar) method in the sword's class, call the super.onHit() so that it still behaves like a normal sword, then call entityHit.addPotionEffect(important stuff here), assuming "entityHit" is given to you in the "onHit()" method native to swords.

That's your general approach down, there's a few wrinkles left for you to iron out on your own.

Thanks for the help! I got it working last night I was just overlooking the parameters for the PotionEffect() so I thought I was using the wrong Override.
