[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 7408751, member: 6669384"] Woad, the real thing not the Hollywood version, is mildly psychoactive. Applied to the skin it works its way in through the pores and into the blood. Its stimulant qualities make the user/wearer feel more energetic, and thus would affect Endurance checks. When circumstances cause greater absorbtion, it puts the "Psyco" in psychoactive. Used primarily by the Pict, whose name means "Painted People" (same root as the word "Picture"), the Romans called them "Diabla Azure", or "Blue Devils". (Same as a certain college football team). In short, the more worked up someone in Woad is, the more of it works into their blood, and the more crazed they become. The D&D version of Woad is an Alchemical substance called Red Rager. Odd note: Bears, in D&D, don't get Rage. [/QUOTE]
