Herbalism

Using an Herbalism Kit a character can create magical Elixirs. Every Elixir requires a herb or plant as a Key Ingredient. Elixirs effects may include restoring health, granting damage resistance, improving ability scores, or dealing extra damage when applied to a weapon.

## Starting Formulas

Whenever a character gains proficiency in the Herbalism Kit they automatically learn three formulas. The first two of these are determined by rolling three times on the Starting Formulas Tables below (you may choose to roll from any combination of tables, i.e. once from each table or three times from the same table) and choosing any two of the results. The third formula can be any of the player's choice from the same tables.

This sticky black unguent is thick and heavy in the container, but it flows quickly when poured. The oil can cover a Medium or smaller creature, along with the equipment it's wearing and carrying (one additional vial is required for each size category above Medium). Applying the oil takes 10 minutes. The affected creature then gains the effect of a freedom of movement spell for 1 hour.

Alternatively, the oil can be poured on the ground as an action, where it covers a 10-foot square, duplicating the effect of the grease spell in that area for 8 hours.

The next time you see a creature within 10 minutes after drinking this philter, you become charmed by that creature for 1 hour. If the creature is of a species and gender you are normally attracted to, you regard it as your true love while you are charmed.
