Healers Kit and belladonna

[bradikus]

One of the characters in our adventure has been inflicted with lycanthropy from a wereboar. The issue is wheather or not belladonna would be available in a healers kit. It states that it must be fresh and picked within the last week, so I pretty certain that I am not going to give in to my players, but I wanted to know how the rest of you would handle this situation.

The interesting part to this is that the character is a monk and his alignment will changeing to neutral causing him to become an ex-monk. I am pretty sure that I will be that I will making the remove curse option availble to him after a small quest, becuase he is pretty tied to his character being a monk and I don't want to ruin his character for him. But in the mean time, I think that I'll have a little fun.

Freshly picked Belladonna is not in the Healer's kit unless the PC has made a point to do so. There may well be some dried Belladonna, useful in small tinctures for many ailments, but I would say it's highly unlikely that there's any fresh Belladonna.
