Herbalists are an important part of both medieval economy and village life, and those who practice herbalism are medical specialists as well as gatherers of valuable resources. Herbs can produce an incredible number of effects in modern medicine, and when you add in magical effects, there's no limit to what effects you can use.
Here are six herbs you can use for your games: 1. Silk Fingers - A plant with soft, velvety purple fronds, a draught prepared from this herb makes the body more supple and flexible. Those who drink this draught have advantage on Acrobatics checks for an hour. 2. Sorrow's Seed - A lovely crimson flower that salts the soil around it, the stamens are crushed into a powder that makes a brilliant dye. When drunk in a tea, a spellcaster using the Arcane Recovery feature can regain one additional spell level, once per long rest. It stains teeth a dark red, and is used by the Wytch-clans as a social and functional ritual. 3. Kingspetal - A flower with delicate white petals, edged in shimmering gold. The roots can be boiled and mashed to a paste which aids in wound recovery. Administering this paste to someone who spends Hit Dice to recover during a short rest allows them to regain an additional 1d8 hit points. 4. Hazelmint - A bitterly-flavoured brown leaf, those who place this herb under their tongue have advantage on saving throws against imbibed poisons. 5. Whitepearl Mustard - A very rare herb that grows in places touched by magical energy, the seeds of this are pearlescent white and pea-sized. Combined with vinegar to make a pungent paste and used as a spread, this flavours meat and other foods with piquant and almost dangerously spicy taste. It increases blood flow, and those who eat healthily of the paste take an additional 1 point of damage from slashing weapons for the next 6 hours. 6. Mellowberry - A lavender-coloured berry which grows in clusters on a blade-leafed plant, these berries can calm and soothe those who are emotionally upset, as a Calm Emotions effect with saving throw DC 5. They are often eaten as a mild relaxant, and those who eat them often weep purple tears. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 30 June 2021. Comments are closed.
