I'm still undecided on that but either way, I would like to have some additional non-magical healing options for players, especially ones that require spending resources other than spell slots.What I'm really looking for is a decent crafting system, especially one that involves resource gathering. Unfortunately, the 5E crafting system is fairly minimal. I am certainly ok with an abstraction -I don't need a hyper-realistic system - but I do want something that the players can sink their teeth into, and perhaps even set goals based on things they may need to find while they journey.I know systems like this get dangerously close to systems found in video games, where even "simple" systems are cumbersome and time-consuming for tabletop RPGs (and typically not all that fun).I have the Adventures in Middle-Earth books and I really like the Journeys mechanic. One idea I had was to add another task called Forager that looks for herbs and plants for crafting.I'm also open to grabbing something on DMs Guild to check out. Thanks!</blockquote>
