Herbalism (Alchemy)
-
Herbs can be found in bushes through Arabel, with each herb preferring different environments. Quests in these areas may also include their respective herbs as part of their loot tables.
New herbs:
CagevineThis sturdy root grows easily in any direction. It can often be found at the base of trees, mixed in among the tree's own roots and wound around its trunk.
Flavor: Earthy
Properties: Defense, Resistance
Mender's SaffronAttempts to domesticate this plant have proven troublesome - while it can grow in a planter, it does not often grow in quantity. Some believe it was created when followers of Lathander went too far, desiring the sun's healing ability for themselves.
Flavor: Bitter
Properties: Healing, Restoration
Kossuth's KissFound mainly in deserts, and particularly near lava tubes, this leafy growth can produce a heat-resistant oil.
Flavor: Spicy
Properties: Fire, Divine
FeycapIllegal in some countries due to it's more illicit properties, properly moderated exposure can enhance one's magical senses.
Flavor: Salty
Properties: Arcana, Eternity
Auril's VeilUsually found draped around cave mouths, this herb prefers colder climates. While safe to consume in small quantities, extensive and prolonged use of the herb can cause blindness.
Flavor: Minty
Properties: Cold, Illusion
DreamdropThis aquatic reed is rumored to have been created when a dying naiad queen reached up to hold her lover once more. Crowns crafted from the reeds are believed by commoners to aid in romantic encounters.
Flavor: Musty
Properties: Charm, Water
BloodnettleHarvesters of this flower must be careful - the thorns of this plant carry a mild poison that will cause exposed skin itch for a tenday! A salve made from the stem and roots of the plant can neutralize most itches though.
Flavor: Sour
Properties: Acid, Poison
StormclawThis jumble of pale vegetation seems to lack a root system entirely. Large petals carry it along windy mountain ridges, where it scatters its seeds.
Flavor: Smokey
Properties: Wind, Electricity
WyrmspiceOnce the pride of Athkatla, wild varieties of this spice have spread throughout the Forgotten Realms.
Flavor: Umami (Richness)
Properties: Strength, Potency -
To craft an herbs potion, you must have 2 of each herb, plus an empty potion bottle. This creates 2d4 potions. To create one of the homogeneous potions, it costs 8 of that herb. Variable herbalism/healing DCs can be used based off the circle of the spell created. Not all potions are intended to be drunk - some are intended to be thrown.
