[QUOTE="gpetruc, post: 705027, member: 2255"] Here is a simple herbalism system I created (possibly to use it in a very low magic setting). [b]General ideas[/b] - This system is designed for low-magical worlds, where healing through divine magic is rare. - It allows a small amount of healing through natural means (herbs). - It is good for rangers and other wilderness classes, and also for NPC experts. - It uses skills checks All checks are Profession:Herbalist checks unless stated otherwise 5 ranks in Knowledge:Nature give a +2 synergy bonus to Profession:Herbalis To be able to use this skill a character must have an herb of the appropriate type and power level: [B]Herb types[/B] - hp healing - ability damage healing (one type for each ability score) - poison healing - disease healing [B]Difficulty[/B] (just the definitions): VE: Very Easy (15) E: Easy (20) M: Moderate (25) D: Difficult (30) VD: Very Difficult (35) [B]Healing HP[/B] [i](no more that 3/day, and no more that 1/hour)[/i] VE: 1d4 E: 2d4 M: 4d4 D: 6d4 VD: 6d6 [B]Healing disease ability damage[/B] [i](no more that 1/day)[/i] E: 1 point M: 1d4 points D: 2d4 points VD: 2d6 points [B]Healing poison damage[/B] [i](no more than once/poison)[/i] E: 1d2 points M: 1d4+1 points D: 2d4+2 points VD: 3d4+3 points [B]Healing ability damage from other sources[/B] [i](no more than 1/day)[/i] M: 1 point D: 1d4 points VD: 2d4 points [B]Poison[/B]: [i](only once/poison)[/i] poison DC - 10: delay for 1 hour poison DC - 5: delay for 1 hour, halve secondary damage poison DC: prevent secondary damage [B]Diseases[/B] [i](only once/day)[/i] - Disease DC - 10: halve disease damage for 1 day - Disease DC - 5: prevent damage for 1 day - Disease DC: heal disease [B]Herbalist feat[/B] This feat allows: 1) to perform Difficult and Very Difficult tasks (all those with DC > 20) 2) to take 10 in the checks 3) to prepare herbal brews and ointments [B]Herb price (raw):[/B] Very Easy: 1 gp Easy: 5 gp Moderate: 20 gp Difficult: 50 gp Very Difficult: 100 gp these herbs last for 1 week note that more powerful herbs may be rare [B]Finding an herb:[/B] DC equal to the herb power +2 to check if in good season/place -2 to check in winter/underground/wasteland Search time: 30 min Every time you find 1d4 dozes of the herb the herb lasts for 1 week [B]Identify (Knowledge: Nature)[/B] - a healing herb: DC equal to the herb DC; if fail by less than 5 you can still find out what kind of healing produces; no retry - a brew: DC equal to the DC of the herb contained; no retry - a disease/poison: DC equal to the poison DC; gives general information about the strength, ability affected & so on.
