Foraging
Foraging takes 1 hour of time. After each hour you may roll a Survival or Herbalism check to determine what you have found. The difficulty is based on whether or not you are dedicating your time to foraging, or foraging while traveling.
HERBALISM FORAGING INGREDIENTS
| 1d8 | Ingredient | Herb Effects | Type | Application |
|---|
| 1 | Elderberry | Slows Intoxification (advantage on Con save vs. alcohol effects) | Berry | Ingested |
| 2 | Drakus Flower | Masks your scent (gives disadvantage on attempts to track you based on scent) | Flower | Topical |
| 3 | Spur Leaves | Reduces visible scarring | Leaf | Topical |
| 4 | Lavender Seeds | Slows infection from the common disease | Seed | Topical |
| 5-6 | Royal Lichen | Recover maximum from next hit die rolled within 1 minute | Moss | Topical |
| 7 | Dried Ephedra | Makes a creature incredibly itchy | Seed | Topical |
| 8 | Hyacinth Nectar | Puts a creature to sleep (DC 12 Con save) | Flower | Ingested |
|
On a success you recover 1 ingredient from the foraged ingredients table. If you succeed by five or more you find 2 ingredients from the foraged ingredients table. If you roll a 20 on your d20 you automatically succeed and your bonus find is one ingredient from the Special Ingredients table. On a failure, you find nothing. These will maintain freshness for 3 days before decaying.
Alternatively, if you wish to look for a specific herb from either table you can make a single check after an hour of dedicated searching without traveling with advantage. However the DC is 15 when searching for an ingredient from the Foraging Ingredients table and the DC is 18 to find something from the Special Ingredients table. If you succeed while searching for a basic ingredient you find two of what you were searching for. If you succeed while searching for a special ingredient you find one ingredient from the Special Ingredients table. If you fail, you find nothing.
Using Herbs
Once you have recovered an ingredient, you have two options to proceed. All recovered herbs have intrinsic properties that can be activated through an action on your turn to ingest or apply topically. Additionally, those herbs can be prepared into a poultice or tonic which can increase the effect of each ingredient dependent upon its type.
The intrinsic effect of each herb can be found in the
Foraging and Special Ingredients tables while the stronger effects from crafting them into a poultice or tonic can be found in the
Poultice or Tonic Crafting table.

Once you recover an ingredient, you can begin the process of crafting a poultice or tonic. Crafting a poultice requires one or more ingredients (duplicates are allowed), a vial (tonic) or pouch/holder of some sort (poultice), and a number of hours of work based on the final DC (1 hour for each DC above 10) followed by a Wisdom crafting check using your proficiency in herbalism kit, with a DC of 10 plus the DC modifier determined by the types of ingredients used. On a successful Wisdom crafting check, you create one poultice/tonic. On a failure, all ingredients are lost. Once crafted, the poultice/tonic remains viable for one week. Note that some more powerful poultice/tonics require additional materials. These can be purchased from most Apothecary/Medicus shops.
DC = 10 + all ingredient difficulty modifiers combined
For example: If you wanted to craft a standard healing poultice you would need any single Moss. The DC to craft the poultice would be DC 12 (base of 10 +2 for the ingredient modifier) and would take 2 hours to craft. If you were crafting a Greater Healing Poultice you would need any two moss, 4 hours of time, and need to succeed on a DC 14 Herbalism check.
Using a Poultice or Tonic
You may use a bonus action on your turn to ingest a tonic or apply a poultice to yourself. You may use an action to give it to another creature.
