Herbalism
Steps
- Spend 8 hours and roll Naturalism. You may spend your margin of success on quality and quantity of Herbs found in the wild.
- 1 point for two Poor Herbs
- 1 point for a Common Herb
- 3 points for a Good Herb
- 10 points for a Great Herb
- On a Critical Success, you may either triple the points earned, or claim a single Legendary Herb
- If you don't have 8 hours to search the wilderness, you can take less time by applying a penalty to your Naturalist Roll.
- For searches up to 4 hours: -3 penalty
- For searches up to 2 hours: -5 penalty
- For searches up to 1 hour: -7 penalty
- For searches up to 30 minutes: -9 penalty
- You don't need any equipment to search for Herbs, but you will need some tools to mix or use some of the concoctions. This usually consists of a mortar and pestle for salves poisons and pastes, innumerable paper wrappings with quick igniting fuses for the smoke bombs, a kettle and straining device for any tinctures, and a censer for the incense. These are all bundled into the Herbalists Tools and are all you need.
- Find out which concoction you would like to craft, make an Herb Lore skill roll with the appropriate penalty, and then you've got your concoction. The cost is one of the separated Herb options If you fail the roll because of the penalty to make the concoction, then you still successfully make it, but at half value. The affected values will be followed by the weaker version in parenthesis
