Potions and Poisons

Y
our players throughout there adventures will Sparsely Vegetated Land
come across a number of potions, poisons, and 1d100 Materials Found
other concoctions made from various
ingredients they'll come across as they travel. 0-50 Nothing
The following is a series of rules as well as 51-85 Common
resources that expand on the already existing
rules for potions and poisons within the Player's 86-97 Uncommon
Handbook and Dungeon Masters Guide. All rules, keywords, 98-100 Rare
or otherwise that are not immediately referenced in this
document are sourced from one of those two books, and will Densely Vegetated Land
easily be found in one of either books index. 1d100 Materials Found
Crafting Concoctions 0-30 Nothing
A creature proficient in Alchemist's Supplies or a Poisoner's 31-75 Common
Kit can spend an hour of intense focus and precise work to 76-95 Uncommon
properly mix and prepare ingredients to create a concoction.
Both potions and poisons are considered concoctions for the 96-100 Rare
purpose of this rule. All concoctions have required recipes.
Recipes are decided by your dungeon master as appropriate, Bountiful Land
though this document suggests a number of recipes for 1d100 Materials Found
certain concoctions.
0-15 Nothing
Gathering Ingredients 16-65 Common
All across the land are plants and such that could easily be 66-90 Uncommon
used or utilized to make incredible creations. Those trained in
the art of herbalism are able to properly analyze and 91-100 Rare
recognize these properties when inspecting a plant.
Depending on the rarity of the ingredient, each ingredient
will have different DC's required for the nature or herbalism
kit check required to identify the ingredients properties. This
DC is 10 for common, 15 for uncommon, and 20 for rare.
It takes 1 hour of time to forage for ingredients. When
foraging for herbs, attempt a DC 15 Nature or Herbalism Kit
check. If you succeed, you will find different kinds and
different amounts dependent on the area you are foraging in.
This is usually up to the dungeon master, but there are
supplementary tables below which can help in this process
and making the decision. Keep in mind that even a successful
check can lead to no results if the land bears no fruit.
If you would find a reagent of some kind, roll 1d6 + your
Intelligence or Wisdom modifier, and receive that many of the
reagent in question.
