<center>'''SPECIAL THANKS'''</center>


There is an acknowledgments section at the end of this guide where you can find a list (unfortunately, it may be incomplete) of the people who have helped to make this guide, possible, through such tasks as editing, playtesting, and contributing herbs. If you like this guide, the credit must go to all these people.


I believe that there are three people however who are worthy of my special thanks, and I would like to mention them here (in no particular order).


The first of these is Ezra Van Everbroek. Ezra produced a hypertext version of the fourth edition of this guide, and also hosted it. This document allowed people to jump from place to place in the guide, and to find information easily. This website appears to be the place that those who found out about the guide through the web, most often obtained their information from. Creating such a large hypertext document cant have been an easy task and I salute and thank Ezra for undertaking such a task.


The second person is Druann Pagliasotti. Shortly after the third edition of this guide went out over e-mail, Druann sent a list of new herbs adapted to the guides format to the ADND-L list. I contacted Druann and was kindly given permission to include these herbs in the fourth edition of the guide. Furthermore, Druann sent me a list of suggestions and clarifications to many of the herbs that I had already included in the guide, and suggestions on the long term storage and availability of herbs for purchase. There would have been a fourth edition of the guide without Druanns contributions, but it would have been a shadow of what it became.


Last, but by no means least, I would also like to single out Maya Deva Kniese for special thanks. Maya contributed some herbs to this edition of the guide, but more importantly contributed a number of ideas, the most significant of which is the revised Herbalism proficiency (see Appendix A). Again, without Mayas contribution, I would have done a 5th edition, but there is no way it would have been as complete or as (I hope) good.


These special thanks are not intended to diminish the contributions of other people to this guide. Everyone who is listed in the acknowledgments section contributed and deserves their place there. I simply feel that the three people listed above were worthy of special recognition. All these contributors share the responsibility and the credit for anything you like about this guide. Any criticisms, errors or dislikes that you have are solely my responsibility. 


<center>'''INTRODUCTION'''</center>


<center>''Anything green that grew out of the mould''</center>

<center>''Was an excellent herb to our fathers of old.''</center>

<center>- Rudyard Kipling</center>


Welcome to the fifth edition of The Guide to Herbs for RPGs, the third edition of this guide to be distributed by e-mail and across the Internet. Herbs have been a staple of fantasy literature for many years. Striders use of Athelas in The Lord of the Rings to cure Frodo, and Polgaras herb lore in The Belgariad and The Mallorean, and Raistlins use of herbal teas to calm his cough in Dragonlance are two examples that come to mind. The first edition of this guide was written in response to a request by one of my players for more detailed use of the Herbalism proficiency than that supplied in the core '''AD&D''' rules, and also to provide a general system which can be converted to other rules systems fairly easily. This was in 1990 or 1991 and that edition was nothing more than an adaptation of the herbs contained in Alexander Scotts '''Maelstrom''' RPG adapted to AD&D rules, a description of each herb, the chance of finding it, its preparation time, and its cost. This guide was quite useful, though several problems were found with it. The guide was used for a few years and my printed copy (done on a Commodore 64 and a 9 pin printer) became covered in pen and pencil additions and clarifications. In early 1995 I began GMing a new campaign and I decided to rewrite my herbal on my new 486. This second edition contained the same herbs as the first edition but with the addition of clearer descriptions, the addition of the Locale in which each herb could be found, and an Ability Check roll required to use each herb successfully. This herbal was much more useful than the previous one. In mid 1995, I gained net access for the first time, and discovered the phenomena of NetBooks, and unofficial supplements to various role playing games. I downloaded these and began to use them in my games. As a student I can not afford to buy all the commercially produced supplements for use in my games, and so these unofficial (and free!) supplements were a gift from the Gods. In December 1995 and January 1996, I revised my Herbal once again, incorporating herbs from the RPG '''Middle-Earth Role Playing (MERP)''', and on returning to University at the start of March, subscribed to the ADND-L e-mail list, and offered the Herbal to the inhabitants of that list. I received over 300 requests for the Herbal, and was informed that there was interest in Herbalism on the REALMS mailing list. I subscribed to this list as well, and offered the Herbal once again. I received more requests from this list. At the start of July, I released a fourth edition of the guide which for the first time included herbs submitted by other people, as well as herbs that I had designed through research outside gaming materials. In particular, special mention must go to Druann Pagliasotti whose assistance in compiling the fourth edition was considerable. Druann contributed new herbs, as well as sending me a list of suggested clarifications, and amendments to over forty of the herbs that I had designed. Since that time I have received more e-mail (both praise and criticism) from many of the people who are using my herbal, and this has once again encouraged me to put together a new revised edition. This edition includes even more herbs that other people have added to my rules, and some new herbs that I have developed, in total over 50 new herbs. It also includes more detailed physical descriptions of some of the herbs from previous editions where I have been able to find them. Most notably, it includes a revised Herbalism proficiency, which was largely developed by Maya Deva Kniese, whose contribution to this fifth edition was considerable. I welcome the contributions I have received to this guide, but as always all responsibility for any errors and discrepancies is mine and mine alone, although other contributors deserve full credit for whatever you like. The fifth edition also divides the Locale field of the descriptions into two separate fields, Climate and Locale. This was a commonly requested change, and I saw no reason why it could not be made. I welcome contributions, criticisms and comment on my guide, and will try to incorporate these in any future editions of the guide. Some people may have noticed that the title of the guide has changed from The AD&D Guide to Herbs (the title of the 1st-3rd Editions) to The Guide to Herbs for RPGs (4th and 5th Editions). This occurred because of advice that the original title was not compatible with the guides status as unofficial. Also the guide is no longer AD&D specific but designed to be used in other RPG rule systems. Please feel free to distribute this guide in unedited form in any format that you desire. I only ask that my contribution and that of other people is acknowledged and that the guide is distributed free of charge.


'''NOTE:''' In my guide I have used the term Autumn instead of Fall to describe the season between Summer and Winter. I have also used the correct Australian English spelling for words. I have altered contributions received from other people for the sake of consistency. I have received e-mail criticising me for this, saying you should use the American conventions, because most AD&D players are American. (By the way, this was not intended as a flame, but was part of some useful constructive criticism.) I have been taught English as it is spoken and written in my native country, and I will write and speak in that way. There are several reasons for this.

1) If I was attempting to write for a specific country, I would use their own conventions. I am not. I am writing this guide for everyone who requests it. I have received requests for the third and fourth editions of this guide from the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Spain, France, Belgium, Germany, Australia, Mexico, Peru, New Zealand, Holland, South Africa, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Croatia and Zaire and possibly from other countries as well.

2) If I decided to write this guide in correct English, I would be faced with the problem of what is correct. Is it American English, that of the largest English speaking country on Earth or British English, the source of the language.

3) I believe that the differences in English from country to country are so minor that all English speaking people on Earth will be able to read my guide with no problems.

4) Finally, it is simply easier for me to write this guide in the form of English with which I am most familiar.


I should note here that this herbal is not always accurate in terms of the real use of herbs in our world. This is because my skills in Herbalism are very limited. I am not a professional herbalist just someone with an interest in the topic (especially from a gaming point of view). I have endeavoured to be as accurate as possible in terms of descriptions, but sometimes I am trying to describe a herb after seeing a black and white drawing. I have tried to be accurate in terms of naming the herbs, but some herbs have many different names. Bilberry for example is also known as Huckleberry, Whortleberry, Hurtleberry, Whin-berry, Wimberry, Black Heart, Hurts, and may even have other names that I am not familiar with. I have also ascribed to some herbs powers that do not exist in the real world. For example there is no herb that bestows infravision on a person in our world (as least I assume there isnt!) but such herbs do exist in the guide. This is because the guide has been written for a fantasy game, and I felt that the powers ascribed to these herbs in legend and tradition could actually exist in fantasy worlds. I would also like to apologise for the fact that some of the herbs contained within have no physical descriptions. This is because I have adapted them from other game systems and I cant find any physical descriptions in the original source material. This is especially true for those herbs adapted from MERP. If anyone feels that I have made mistakes in identifying herbs, or their curative properties, they should feel free to contact me, either by e-mail or by mail. For anyone who wants to find accurate books on Herbalism and its real life applications, please refer to the books in the reference section. Please do not assume this guide is accurate. Experimenting with plants can be very dangerous, and I accept no responsibility for any misuse.


<center>'''HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE'''</center>


This guide was written in order to allow a more detailed method of using the Herbalism Non Weapon Proficiency than that provided in the PHB. It may be used only by characters with the Herbalism proficiency. A revised Herbalism proficiency which can be used in FRPGs, appears below. The description of each herb contains the following information:


'''NAME:''' This is what the herb is called. In brackets after each name is the name of the person who developed the herb for the guide, and the source of the herb if applicable.

''Available:'' This is the time of year when the herb is available, and the percentage chance for a person who searches for the herb for one day finding it.

''Climatic Zone:'' This describes the climatic zone or zones in which the herb can be found.

''Locale:'' This describes the region or regions in which the herb can be found.

''Preparation:'' This describes how long a herb needs to be prepared before it can be used.

''Cost:'' The cost before the / is the cost of the herb in raw form. The cost after the / is the cost of buying the herb ready to use.

''Uses:'' The number of uses indicates how much of the herb can be found at any one time. 

''Ability Check: ''The ability check is the value that must be rolled under on a d20 for the use of the herb to be successful. If the ability check is listed as ? it means that the herb may or may not have the powers attributed to it. If the ability check is listed as - then no ability check is needed for success. The GM should decide what effects these herbs have if any.

''Description:'' This section describes what the herb can do.

The GM who uses or allows this guide in their games should examine it carefully before use, and remove or modify any herbs that they wish. This is particularly true for those herbs that have quite major powers. 


It will be noted that very few poisons are listed in this guide. This is for two reasons.

1. I believe that a Herbalist should not use their art for nefarious purposes. 

2. I believe that allowing players access to too many poisons can severely effect game balance.


Any GM who wishes to have detailed poisons in their games is referred to the Netbook: Poisons of the Realm, (author unknown to me) which I find to be excellent for the purpose. If you can find it, the rules for poisons sent to the GMAST-L list by Ron Knight (Modar) in late October of this year (1996) is also very good. The NetBook of Poisons, revised and expanded by Adrienne Mills, and based on the Netbook: Poisons of the Realm (mentioned in previous editions of this guide) is also very good and very detailed in its treatments of poisons.


It should also be noted that I have tried not to include herbs that could be classed as Drugs with the connotation of illicit use. This is because I do not and do not wish to be seen to be supporting illicit drug use. Having said that, for anyone who wishes to use drugs in their games, I refer them to ''Appendix A: Drugs for Fantasy Role Playing Games'', from the ''Complete Guide to Alcohol for Fantasy Role Playing Games ''which has excellent rules on all aspects of drug use including addiction and its effects. The drugs contained within it could be converted to my system fairly easily, although the system contained in that guide is already excellent for the purpose.


Finally, a note and a request. It has come to my attention, that people create and develop new herbs for their games and add them into this guide. I, of course, have no objection to this. However, I would appreciate it if you sent me a copy of these herbs. If they work in your games, they would probably work in other peoples, and should be included in any new edition of the guide (with full credit to you, of course). Again, people make changes to the guide, because they find mistakes, or discrepancies, or just things they dont like. Thats fine, but please let me know. If you noticed something wrong, I would like a chance to fix it.


What you do with the guide in your own game is up to you. You can change and edit it in any way that you like. But please, if you distribute the guide, make sure that you distribute it in unedited form. If you have made any changes or additions, list them separately from the main guide. My name is on this guide, and while Im perfectly happy to take the flak for any errors in it, I only want to be blamed for my own errors or for those of contributors, which slipped past me. I have been sent an e-mail from someone who thought a herb was too powerful. It was, because someone else had edited the guide and made it more powerful. It wasnt a major problem, but it was annoying.


Furthermore, I own the copyright on this guide (except where I have indicated that it is owned by someone else, and I have their permission to include the information). I have gone to a lot of trouble to try and ensure that I dont violate other peoples copyright, in order to avoid legal problems. If you add information into my guide, I may end up being legally responsible for information that I didnt want to be. I dont want that to happen. Having said that, if I have inadvertently violated anyones copyright, please inform me and I will remove the material in question.


Finally leave my name, and the name of other contributors on the guide. A person was distributing the 3rd Edition of my guide under their name as if it was their work. They have since apologised to me, and I consider the matter closed, so I wont mention their name. The guide costs you nothing, but it represents a large amount of work on my part and on the parts of the other contributors. I think we deserve the credit for our work.


I receive no payment for this guide. It is simply a labour of love. But I would like to hear what you think of it, any praise or criticisms that you might have. Hundreds of hours of work have gone into this guide over the years, and I really like to know what people think, whether it is good or bad. Please e-mail me with comments at: drednort@bud.swin.edu.au


A special note: I have referred to a variety of diseases in this work. Some of my descriptions may be inaccurate and for that I apologise. I have no medical training, and the guide is intended only for games. It is also possible that some of my descriptions of diseases may offend some people. Again, I apologise. I have no intention of causing offence. If you do find any of this guide offensive, let me know so I can fix the problem.


'''ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A GUIDE FOR GAME PURPOSES ONLY. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, USE ANY OF THE HERBS CONTAINED IN THIS GUIDE FOR ANY REAL LIFE PURPOSE WITHOUT CONSULTATION WITH AN EXPERT ON HERBS AND THEIR EFFECTS.'''


<center>Shaun Hately, 11th February, 1997</center>


'''NOTE ON THE USE OF THE AD&D LOCATE ANIMALS OR PLANTS SPELL:'''

Players with access to the 1st level Priest Spell Locate Animals or Plants will try to use it to locate specific herbs. If this occurs I would suggest that the Dungeon Master uses the percentage score given under Available in each herbs description as the chance that the herb will be detected each round, subject to the local environment and season. However I would remind the GM that according to the PHB, the results of this spell are always determined by the GM. If the GM does not want the herb to be found, it should not be found.


<center>'''NOTES ON THE USE OF HERBS '''</center>

<center>by Druann Pagliasotti and Shaun Hately</center>


Unless otherwise indicated in text, any cut herbs and preparations of herbs only have a shelf life of 3d6 weeks. Dried herbs have a shelf life of 1d4 years if kept in a sealed container away from moisture (but not all of these herbs can be used in a dried form). Potions, on the other hand, have an indefinite lifespan - which is why they're more expensive yet still desirable.


A rule of thumb for purchasing is that the chance of purchasing an herb in a large city WITHIN its native region is equal to the chance of finding it in the wild (and the price will remain the same); the chance of purchasing an herb in a large city OUTSIDE of its native region is equal to half the chance of finding it in the wild (and the price will be half again as much); and the chance of purchasing an herb in a large city OPPOSITE of its native region (eg., artic vs. desert) is one quarter of the chance of finding it in the wild (and the price will be doubled or tripled).


The GM of an individual campaign must rule on the use of this guide. They must decide whether or not they wish it to be used at all, and they must modify it to fit their campaign. Some of the herbs contained in this guide are extremely powerful, and if they are overused they will unbalance the game. The prices given for herbs are only guidelines and must be treated with common sense. In plague years, for example the cost of herbs that protect against plague will increase incredibly. And if the characters stumble into a herbalist while supporting a friend who is on the verge of death from snakebite, the herbalist may decide to charge well above the going rate. Some apothecarists are nothing but charlatans and will sell anything while saying it is a wondrous herb.


Once again, I must point out that this guide is intended for use in games only. Do not use it as a guide to herbal medication. Many plants are highly poisonous and experimenting can be extremely dangerous. I accept no responsibility for any misuse arising from any edition of this guide.


<center>'''HOW MANY HERBS DO I KNOW?'''</center>


The first two editions of this guide contained only about 40 herbs and so we never considered the need to limit the amount of herbs that a PC with Herbalism proficiency knew. Now there are a lot more herbs and such a rule does seem necessary. If PCs knowing of all these herbs does not cause a problem in your games, then just assume they do know all of them. If however, you want a rule to deal with situation, I would suggest the following. Once again I assume that you games uses a 3d6 Intelligence score similar to that used in ''D&D'', ''AD&D'', ''Dragon Warriors'', and ''Tunnels and Trolls.''


The PC herbalist starts with knowledge of 3 x INT x Level of Herbalism Skill herbs. That is a PC with a herbalism skill of 1 and an Intelligence of 12 will know of 36 herbs. A PC with a herbalism skill of 2 and an Intelligence of 9 will know of 54 herbs. Which herbs are known, should be decided by the GM with reference to the climate and terrain type in which the PC grew up.


<center>'''NOTES ON CLIMATIC ZONES'''</center>


In this new edition of the herbal, a new field has been added to the description of each herb. This is the Climatic Zone section. A normal world can be assumed to be divided into five climatic zones :- Tropical, Subtropical, Temperate, Cold and Polar. A few notes are below in order to help the GM determine which zone a given section of their world will fall into:


'''Tropical:''' the tropical regions are those located close to the equator. They typically have an average annual and monthly temperature of around of over 20C (68F). They also have a tendency to have wet summers and drier winters, as you get towards their boundaries. On Earth the Tropical region may be considered to be approximately 12 north and south of the equator. Papua New Guinea and Peru have tropical climates.

'''Subtropical: '''the subtropics typically have anywhere from 4 - 11 months with temperatures of over 20C (68F) with the balance of the year having temperatures of between 10 - 20 C (50 - 68 F). It extends roughly between latitudes 12 - 25. Northern Australia and the Florida Peninsula both fall into this area.

'''Temperate: '''the temperate regions are anywhere which has 4 - 12 months with temperatures between 10 - 20 C (50 - 68 F) and the rest of the year is colder. For convenience they can be considered to lie between latitudes of 25 - 45. Southern Europe, the USA and Australia generally fall into this zone.

'''Cold: '''A cold region has 1 - 4 months with a temperature of between 10 - 20 C (50 - 68 F) with the rest of the year being colder. It can be considered to fall between 45 - 65 latitude. Canada, the southern half of Alaska and Scandinavia all fall into this region.

'''Polar: '''The polar regions have a year round average temperature of less than 10 C (50 F). They lie above latitudes of 65. Greenland, Antarctica, and the most northern reaches of Canada, Russia, and Scandinavia all lie in this zone.


The above is a guide for game purposes only and is not absolutely accurate, geographically speaking. It must also be remembered that other factors, such as elevation above sea level, the location of rain shadows, ocean currents etc, also effect climate. Also, I have limited the number of climatic zones to the ones above, and there are many others. Some of the herbs may be found in a tropical desert. Under those circumstances it should be inferred that the herb is found in hot deserts, not that these deserts have wet summers. 


<center>'''NOTES ON LOCALES'''</center>


One of the more important pieces of information contained in the description of each herb is the locale where it is found. A brief description of what I mean by each locale is outlined below in order to help you determine into which locale each area of your gameworld fits.


'''Coastal:''' These are the regions that lie near the sea, oceans, or possibly near large inland salt-water lakes. As a rule of thumb, I assume that the coastal regions can extend up to five miles inland, although this may vary from place to place.

'''Desert:''' Most people assume deserts to be very hot places, such as the Sahara, the Australian Desert, or Death Valley, and indeed many deserts are very hot, but there are also cool deserts. A desert is normally defined as any area that receives, on average, less than 10 inches of rain a year, but for game purposes may be assumed to be any area that is very dry, without recourse to such official formulae.

'''Forest:''' A forest is any area that is heavily covered with trees. There are both large forests, which may cover vast areas, or small forests. In medieval times, forests covered a much larger area of the world than they do today.

'''Grassland:''' These areas, while mostly untouched by agriculture contain very few large tress. Instead they are mostly covered with grass, hence their name. The American prairies are a good example of grasslands.

'''Hills:''' A hill is a relatively small raised area of land. They are often found at the foot of mountains, but may exist in their own right, separate from the surrounding landscape.

'''Jungle:''' Similar to a forest, but normally thicker in nature, and found in more tropical environments. The Amazon is a perfect example of a jungle environment.

'''Mountains:''' Very large, raised areas of land, often found at the borders of continental shelves. A notable feature of mountains is that they are, due to their height, often much colder than the surrounding land. Another feature is the rain shadow phenomena. It may rain very heavily on one side of a mountain, but not at all on the other. The Himalayas, the Alps, and the Rockies are all examples of mountain chains.

'''Rivers: '''A river is a flowing stream of (normally) fresh water which runs to the sea. Rivers can be large (like the Mississippi, or Amazon) or very small, local creeks.

'''Rural:''' This describes farmland, land that has been turned over to agriculture, but is only sparsely settled.

'''Special:''' Where this is listed as the locale, read the description of the herb for more details.

'''Swamp: '''Areas of very moist soil. The Florida Everglades are a good example of a swamp.

'''Underworld: '''By Underworld, I refer to large underground complexes, ie the Underdark of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, the Mac Mordain Cadal from the works of Raymond E Feist, Ulgo from the works of David Eddings, or the Mines of Moria from Tolkien. It might also be assumed that the herbs ''may'' grow in smaller complexes, but I do not recommend it.

'''Urban: '''Any area that is widely settled, such as towns, villages or cities.

'''Volcanoes: '''When a herb is said to grow in this locale, it may grow actually within the mouth of the volcano, or merely on its sides (GMs discretion, unless the description makes it clear).

'''Wasteland: '''This is the hardest area to describe. A wasteland may have once been any type of land, but has now been rendered totally inhospitable perhaps by some great disaster. Much of France after World War I fulfilled this criteria, as did Tunguska after the 1908 explosion. Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or Chernobyl also fulfilled this criteria. In essence, any area of your gameworld where some great disaster rendered the land uninhabitable, may fit into this locale.


<center>'''CAVEAT'''</center>


Some of the herbs contained in this guide have very powerful game effects, and have the potential to severely unbalance a campaign. The GM should ensure that they check each of the herbs thoroughly and modify or disallow it, if they feel it will unbalance their campaign. As always, the GM is the final arbiter in their campaign. What they say goes, no matter what this guide says. Remember that.

The herb has one leaf which grows from a stalk about three inches from the ground. Its appearance gives it its name. The leaf must be boiled in olive oil and set in the sun for three days. At the end of that time the infusion can be used as a balm for wounds. In the event that the wound is infected the balm will draw out the infection within one day. However for that one day the damage caused by the infection will be twice as severe. If the wound is not infected the balm will increase the rate of healing by 1 hp for that day.

The leaves of this plant must be dried. They may then be crushed and eaten. Its effects diminish with constant use. The first time and second time Adgana is used it adds 2 to the user's Strength, Dexterity and Constitution for 2d4+4 minutes. The third time it is used it adds 1 to Strength and Dexterity for the same amount of time, the 4th time +1 is added to Strength only, and after that no benefit is ever gained. In addition to this, the herb is also highly addictive.

Agrimony reaches a height of 1 to 2 feet. It has leaves up to seven inches long, which are serrated, green on top and white underneath. It has yellow flowers with five petals which are arranged in a spike on top of the stem. Its dried leaves must be boiled in a pint of red wine for five minutes, and then left to stand for an hour. It should then be used on sprains and bruises in a compress. A successful application will cure sprains and bruises in half the normal time. Agrimony was also believed to produce very heavy sleep if placed beneath a persons head, so deep that the person could not be woken until it was removed. At the GMs discretion agrimony may have this effect, but I would suggest the potential victim gets a save vs poison with a very large (8-10) bonus.

The bark of the ash tree must be stripped from its branches and boiled in clear water for one day. It should then be drunk as a cure for fevers, especially those caused by diseases such as malaria. It does not cure the cause of the fever but merely brings it under control within 2d6 hours. The ash tree is sacred to worshipers of Thor, who use its wood to make spears. The wood of the ash tree could possibly be used as an essential item in the manufacture of magical spears. Ash leaves should be boiled in water and drunk as a cure for the poison of viper bites (cures poison in 2d6 turns, any damage already incurred remains). The ash tree has ash grey bark, and black buds. Its flowers have no petals. Ash trees are also by tradition used to make stakes for the purposes of killing vampires. This belief stems from Roman times, when Pliny the Elder wrote that all evil things feared Ashwood.

<nowiki>Caffar is made of the small caffar nut that is ground into a powder and brewed into a dark, sweet-smelling beverage, traditionally with a goat's milk base. Like kaffe or black tea, caffar can be used to delay sleep, but it has the side effect of making the ingester more psychically sensitive; psionicists' skills are greatly enhanced and even the unpsyighted are more sensitive to nuances in the environment and in others' manners, sometimes even to the point of detecting auras around certain objects. (Raises Wisdom [Intuition] by 1 for every 2 cups imbibed, to maximum of 19. Drinking 3-4 cups in one day causes jumpiness that increases as more is imbibed. </nowiki>Those who drink 5 or more cups in one day become slightly physically addicted to the substance and suffer headaches and mild stomach pains when their usage is cut back.)

Provided no permanent physical damage has been done to the person hearing organs, the herb may restore some small measure of hearing to a totally deaf person, perhaps 10% of normal hearing. In addition the herb has been reported to have aphrodisiac qualities (GMs discretion) and was used by certain Native American peoples to make their dogs fierce.

A pale, fleshy fungus with a tough, rubbery consistency that is commonly found growing near carnivorous plants. The fungus grows upon corpses, absorbing the cadaver's life memories and personality; up to 10 different minds have been found absorbed by one cephalophage mushroom. Eating cephalophage will transfer those memories and personality quirks to the eater. (Effects last 1d3 hours and while they last the eater can access all of the dead person's mind. After the effects wear off, the eater may still succumb on occasion to flashbacks or personality instability; save vs. Intelligence when under intense stress or in a situation liable to cause such flashbacks.) This plant is condemned by some religions as unholy, believed to prevent a soul/spirit from attaining the afterlife. (from Gene Wolfe's Torturer series)

The Dainabush or Sleepberry is a creeping, thorny vine, much like a bramble. Young vines are about 5 mm thick, with 2 mm long thorns. Older vines can become as thick as 10 cm, with curved thorns up to 5 cm long, although this requires many years of growth. Young vines are light green, with 3 lobed green leaves. Older vines grow reddish brown, darkening to black, with leaves, such as there are, dark green in colour. The vines flower in early summer, with light blue, bell shaped flowers. In autumn, it carries dark blue or purple berries, which are fleshy, almost crunchy rather than juicy. The berries are slightly sweet and quite tasty, but have a strong effect on mammals: those who eat them fall asleep. The berries have this effect on mammals only, but a single berry is enough to bring down any man sized or smaller mammal, and given enough berries, even the greatest mammal will fall asleep. There is no saving throw, although the sleep caused is quite normal, and a sleeping creature can simply be awakened. Although the berries can simply be eaten to cause the effect, it is also possible to dry them carefully, and grind them into powder. This powder is weaker (save vs poison to avoid), but will keep a long time. The powder can be added to any food or drink, but has a very sweet taste.

The roots are boiled and left to stand for a week and the resulting decoction is then drunk. This herb increases the flow of blood. This is very useful when a person is cold. However if a person is bleeding, either internally or externally, or is wounded it will double the speed of loss of blood. Its effect lasts 1d6+1 hours.

A single drop of this elixir will heal any illness or injury, but will not allow limbs or other appendages to grow back. This is an incredibly powerful herb, and is likely to only exist in the hands of powerful lords and kings.

The Juniper tree can grow up to ten feet in height. It is an evergreen, which has prickly stiff foliage. The berries appear in early summer, but take three years to ripen to the stage where they are useful. Unripe berries are green, ripe ones are bluish-black in colour. Because of this rather long period of ripening, it is wise to never denude a tree of berries. A normal sized tree will have between 100 and 200 ripe berries. 15 of these berries should be crushed and mixed with boiling water. When the liquid has cooled, the infusion should then be drunk in order to relieve muscle pains for 3d4 hours. This liquid will only keep for a month under normal conditions, but can be mixed with an alcoholic spirit to increase its lifespan indefinitely. According to some gipsy traditions, a sprig of juniper kept in a house would protect the inhabitants from vampire attacks. This may actually work at the GMs discretion.

The Kylathar or Changeberry is a strange plant indeed. Anyone who eats the yellow, soft, plum sized fruits instantly has two random stats exchanged; Strength with Constitution, Wisdom with Dexterity; anything is possible (the GM should determine which statistics are exchanged).There is no saving throw, and no cure (no easy one anyway; if you as DM want one, make it up). Eating more of the berries will simply cause more stats to be randomly exchanged. Short of magical storage, the fruits will spoil and rot within 2 days after plucking. The bush itself grows about 2 metres high, with long, dusty green leaves, which are slightly sawed. The flowers grow in groups of 4 to 8, and are yellowish white with orange edges. The flowers grow in late spring, the fruits are ripe in autumn.

Laishaberries, also known as fruit of silence, grow on dark green, knee-high bushes. The leaves of the bushes are hard and waxy, and stay on long into autumn, sometimes even into winter. Concealed under the leaves, the red, cherry sized berries grow. In spring and early summer, the bush grows small, fragrant, wax blue flowers. The berries, which are equally fragrant, begin as hard white fruits, turning soft, red, and juicy as they ripen. The berries taste quite bland themselves, although they can be used to add a special taste to all kinds of jellies. When ripe, the berries can be eaten raw, and will each heal 2 hp of damage, or speed the recovery from most diseases. However, they will also render the eater mute for 20 minutes for each berry eaten. Also, if more than 5 or 6 berries are eaten at a time, a saving throw vs poison is required to avoid severe stomach cramps. A jelly made from the berries themselves loses both the healing and silencing powers (and the danger of cramps) of the fresh berries, but the curative effects for most diseases is doubled; fresh berries reduce the recovery time by one day for each berry eaten, the jelly halves the time.

In appearance this tree looks much like any other. It can be identified by its vivid green leaves. These leaves when chewed produce large amounts of oxygen from the carbon dioxide already in the persons breath. One leaf may chewed for up to ten minutes, before its properties are exhausted. The leaves are often boiled and the resultant infusion added to other substances to produce a gum. A piece of this gum will allow the recipient to survive without oxygen for 2d4 x 10 minutes, provided they are conscious and able to chew. The herbs main use is in allowing the recipient to survive in oxygen poor or free environments such as underground. When a tree is found it will normally have 3d100 leaves. Taking too many leaves can harm the tree. The tree has a chance of dying equal to the percentage of the leaves taken. For example if 30% of the leaves are taken the tree has a 30% chance of dying, if 50% are taken it has a 50% chance of dying. The leaves are also said to have a calming effect when chewed (GMs discretion).

This rare tree can grow up to 20 m tall, and can become quite old. It has dark red wood, and equally dark blue leaves. The flowers, which grow in small bunches, are startling white, almost radiant. Its nuts have a very special property; each nut raises the Intelligence or Wisdom (determine randomly) of the eater by 0.1 point (20 max). The effect lasts for a whole week, after which it fades again, although there is a 10% chance the effect is permanent. Around the tree there are often animals (squirrels, salmon) who eat the nuts on a regular basis, and are therefore quite intelligent, often possessing speech or even (GMs discretion) spellcasting abilities. The number of nuts available varies greatly, depending on the age of the tree, the amount of creatures aware of its existence, etc, and mainly of course on the GMs wishes. Basically, the GM should determine how many of the players you wish to profit from it, multiply by ten, and make up an explanation as to why there are no more nuts.

Silverthorn is a small thorny plant, white in colour with red berries and silver thorns. Called ''aelebera'' by the elves, this herb can function either as a poison or as an antidote to itself. It is found only by one lake located high in the mountains. For use as a poison the thorns must be crushed and boiled in oil over the course of a night, at which point, the resultant mixture may be smeared on the end of a weapon. When the weapon pierces its target, the poison will take effect killing the victim within 2d6 hours. There is no save and no cure, except for the antidote outlined below. Not even the most powerful magic can cure this poison.

The only cure for this poison, is also made from the Silverthorn plant. The berries must be boiled in absolutely pure water, contained in a pure silver vessel, and the resultant mixture stored in a vial of absolutely pure glass until use. The liquid must be placed on the dying victims lips, where within 1d20 minutes, they will recover from the poisoning.

The red leaves of this unusually twisted tree should be burned and the smoke inhaled. This will have the effect of dilating time (making it appear to pass slower.) For every minute experienced outside the influence of the herb, only thirty seconds will pass. A single dose is effective for 1d6 hours. Normally used by torturers to prolong agony, the leaves may also be used by people who must think quickly. It does not increase the speed at which a person moves (Under its influence all movement will seem sluggish), and does not impart any bonuses in combat for this reason, (you may see the blow coming more easily, but you will still be unable to avoid it.)

This plant has small green leaves, and wide round yellow flowers. These flowers may be dried, and then eaten. They will then reduce the chance of a heart attack by half each day they are eaten. They may (at the GMs discretion) also help to strengthen the heart of a person, who through age, injury, or other cause, has a weak heart. Eaten ten or more of these flowers at a time will temporarily raise the Constitution and Strength scores of a person by 1 for 2d12 hours, while reducing their Dexterity by 2 for the same period. In addition to this reduction such person also has a (50 - Constitution) % chance of suffering a fatal heart attack 3d12 hours after taking such a massive dose. Certain tribes of barbarians in the mountain regions where this herb is found, use it in order to help them go berserk in battle. These tribes, due to constant dosing from birth have only a (20 - Constitution) % chance of suffering the heart attack. According to legend, the Greek goddess Aphrodite changed her beloved Adonis, the son of King Cinyras, into this flower, just before he died after being wounded by a wild boar.

clearing the mind and raising the spirits. However, they are highly addictive, and care must be taken when preparing and prescribing dosages. Often used to counteract shock in emergency situations. (Temporarily adds +1 to all statistics - no top limit to natural statistics, but it does not add to magically enhanced statistics - and saving throws, and relieves effects of fatigue. This effect lasts for 1d4 hours, after which the user operates at -1 to all statistics and saving throws, and feels even more fatigued. The negative effects of "coming down" can, of course, be counteracted by taking more the drug, with resultant addictive effects.)

The effects of this herb last for two hours. During this time the character can function at negative hit points, or beyond the point of exhaustion. Wormwood normally grows to about four feet in height. It has a stiff and angular stem, reddish brown in colour. It has deeply incised smooth leaves which are silvery white with a slight tinge of green. It has small, yellow-green flowers arranged in long spikes at the top of the stem. The herbs is also a rather effective insect repellent and is often left with clothing to keep fleas away. It also makes a very effective antiseptic when mixed with rue (Intelligence check to remove all infection from a wound within 5d6 hours). In addition to its above effects wormwood is also a prime ingredient in a very dangerous, very addictive drink called Absinthe which is milky green in colour. I will not outline the manufacture of this drink as it is highly dangerous, and often illegal. THIS HERB IN ANY FORM IS HIGHLY ADDICTIVE. REPEATED USE IS VERY UNWISE.

<center>'''Appendix A: The Revised Herbalism Skill'''</center>

<center>by Maya Kniese</center>


The revised herbalism skill that appears below is largely the work of Maya Kniese and is  1996 Maya Kniese and is used with permission. I have edited her original document for greater clarity. Note, the following skill assumes (as does the entire guide) that Intelligence is measured as a score from 3-18, as appears in D&D, AD&D, Dragon Warriors, and Tunnels & Trolls FRPGs. If a different system is used, in your game it is necessary to revise the skill accordingly. The following system is totally optional of course, and you should feel free to use your own system, or that contained in your games systems rulebooks.


Herbalism, as a skill or a proficiency, is the ability to first of all find and then to prepare a certain herb in order to use its special properties (normally curative). To use this skill, simply tell the GM that you intend to look for a certain plant. The GM will decide, based on the information contained in the Guide for each herb, and on the fact whether or not he wants the herb to be found if the plant exists in the area. If the herb does exist in the area, the GM will then roll 1d10 to determine the rarity of the plant in that area. This number must be multiplied by 10 and added to your intelligence score, in order to give the percentage chance that the herb will be found in each hour of searching. If the PC has two skill or proficiency levels in herbalism, then twice intelligence is added to the d10 x 10 roll, if the PC has three skill or proficiency points, three times Intelligence must be added. The GM must add modifiers to this chance of finding the herb, based on common sense, etc. For example an eight feet tall plant in the middle of an open field is going to be very easy to see, and consequently to find. If the PC has a survival skill or proficiency in the type of terrain that they are searching in, 5% should be added to this roll. If the PCs is in an area, that he or she is familiar with, for example their own village, 10% is added to the chance. These additions are cumulative. Finally once the herb is found, the Ability Check must be rolled in order to determine whether or not the herb is prepared correctly and functions as desired.


<center>'''Appendix B: Addiction Effects'''</center>


Reading through the guide, it may have been noticed that certain of the herbs contained within are addictive. In previous editions of this guide, I have not included any information on the effects of addiction, overdose, or withdrawal symptoms etc. This was because I do not wish to be seen as supporting or condoning drug use in any way, shape or form. For the record, I do not condone the administration, or use of any drug except on the basis of competent medical advice. However I have decided to include this appendix in the new edition of the guide, after many requests from users of previous editions of the guide. All information contained in this appendix is completely optional, even more so than any other information contained within the guide. It is useful in a game environment by tending to limit the effectiveness of certain powerful herbs. The undesirable effects of overuse will discourage PCs from becoming habitual users. However, I caution all GMs that forcing a player to play an addicted PC may be very distressing for the player. No player likes losing control of their character, and that may be an effect of addiction. Always remember the first priority of any game is to be fun.


A second warning. Drug use is a very contentious issue among certain people and groups. Dont let this fact get in the way of your games. Also the mention of drug use and addiction in games may distress some people. Please be careful.


Thirdly, a personal plea. Please never use any drug or herb unless prescribed by a medical practitioner, or a trained and skilled herbalist. A transient high, or a quick fix is not worth your life or your health. If you have any type of substance abuse problem seek help.


The suggested addiction effects contained in the appendix have been created for game purposes. They may or may not be accurate in a real world environment. This appendix is organised alphabetically, by the name of the herb. I have only considered powerfully addictive herbs. Those which are described as mildly addictive (such as Caffar, Callin or Tephrosia) should be role played by the GM and player, or ignored as the GM sees fit.


'''ADGANA'''

'''Chance of Overdose'''

Each time this herb is used, there is a 1 in 10 chance of Overdose occurring. An overdose causes the recipients heart to race at five times the normal speed for 1d12 minutes. At the end of this time the recipient will die of massive internal bleeding. During this time the recipient may be treated for ingested poison with a successful treatment allowing their survival.


'''Addiction and Withdrawal'''

Whenever this herb is used the recipient must save vs Constitution or become addicted. For every time after the first time the herb is used, a cumulative penalty of 1 applies to this save. An addict is unable to gain any benefit from the herb, but craves it nonetheless. They will undertake any risk and do anything to get the herb. They will kill anyone who stands between them and the herb. This is undisputable and unavoidable.


'''Recovery from Addiction'''

It is almost impossible to recover once addicted to Adgana. The only method is to go totally cold turkey for six months. During this time, the addict will take any and all opportunities to get hold of the herb. They will neglect everything else such is their fanaticism. They will be prone to severe depression and may be suicidal. After six months they will no longer crave the herb with such intensity, but will still do anything to get hold of it, if they see it. They will also suffer a permanent 1 point penalty to all attributes.


'''MUGWORT'''

'''Chance Of Overdose'''

An overdose may occur if this herb is administered three or more times in any given 24 hour period. If this occurs, the PC must make a save vs poison with a -2 penalty. Each time the herb is administered after the third time in the 24 hour period, an additional cumulative penalty of -1 

is applied to the save. For example if it has been used for the 5th time in 24 hours, the total penalty will be -4.


If overdose occurs the PCs metabolism will go out of control. The PC must role under the Constitution on d20, or they will suffer heart failure and die within 2d10 minutes. Poison curing magic or the administration of a Navew nut has a 50% chance of saving the PCs life. Even if the PC survives they will be all but incapacitated for 1d4 days. There is also a (30-Constitution) % chance of the permanent loss of 1 CON point.


'''Addiction And Withdrawal'''

If this herb is used more than 3 times in a week (7 days) there is a 10% chance of addiction, with any additional use of this herb in that week raises the chance of addiction by a further 5%. This addition is cumulative. An addicted character must make a Constitution check each morning. If this is failed the PC is unable to function without a dose of Mugwort, and will suffer the loss of 1 point of Constitution. If the characters Constitution ever reaches 0, they will die. One dose of Mugwort will restore their Constitution score back to normal levels. Once addicted the PC will require double the normal dose of Mugwort for it to have any normal effect, but the normal 3 dose rule for overdose still applies.


It should be noted that the gradual loss of Constitution will cause the PC to take on a wasted appearance.


'''Recovery From Addiction'''

The PC must manage to abstain from the herb for 10+1d4 days. Each day they must make the above Constitution check. If they fail this check, they will lose a point of Constitution as described above. On a day when this occurs, if the PC has any chance to get hold of the herb, they will do so, no matter what, unless they pass a Wisdom check with a penalty of 5. The GM may allow a bonus to this check, if the PC would have to do something totally out of character, for example, a Paladin having to mug someone to get it, but the roll should never be better than a base Wisdom check. If the PC manages to survive the 10+1d4 day period, they are no longer addicted, and will gain any lost Constitution points (except those caused by overdose) back at the rate of one per day. However if they ''ever'' use the herb again, they will instantly become re-addicted.


'''NIGHTCALL'''

'''Chance of Overdose'''

If more than 1 teaspoons (1 dose) is ever taken in a 24 hour period, the recipient has a (10% x number of doses) chance of overdosing. They will become extremely sensitive to light, causing pain and combat penalties (-2 penalty to combat in full light) for a period of 3d12 hours. They will be unable to concentrate properly for the same period of time, giving a 10% chance of miscasting spells.


'''Addiction and Withdrawal'''

Taking more than one dose of Nightcall at a time, or for more than three consecutive days will cause addiction. An addict must have one dose a day or suffer detrimental effects to both sight and hearing (each lose approximately half their effectiveness. The addict cannot hear all sound, and see everything as if it were dusk, even in full sunlight.)


'''Recovery from Addiction'''

If the addict goes three weeks without a dose, they can be considered to have recovered from their addiction, but they can become addicted again, if the exceed the one teaspoon dose.


'''SAFFRON'''

'''Chance Of Overdose'''

This herb is incredibly powerful. If the herb is used more than once in a three day period, the PC must make a save vs poison with a -5 penalty or die immediately from a massive brain haemorrhage. A third usage in that period will automatically kill the character.


'''Addiction and Withdrawal'''

Addiction automatically occurs if this herb is used more than once in a week. An addicted character will lose one point a day from two randomly determined attributes, unless they have a dose of this herb. Any addicted PC who has a chance to get the herb, will take it no matter what. The following effects will occur if the respective attribute scores ever falls to 0.



{| class="prettytable"
| '''Attribute'''
| '''Effect'''

|-
| Strength
| The character becomes totally unable to move a muscle - absolute paralysis of all voluntary bodily functions.

|-
| Dexterity
| The PC can move but only with spasms. They cannot move faster than a shuffle and tend to fall at least once per round.

|-
| Intelligence
| The PC loses all knowledge and is functionally in a vegetative state.

|-
| Wisdom
| The PC goes totally insane

|-
| Charisma
| The characters face begins to collapse. The eyes, nose, ears and mouth become indistinguishable. Their hands become gnarled and useless. They lose control of their bodily functions and stink from perspiration and other factors.

|-
| Constitution
| The PC dies.

|}
The loss of Constitution, Strength and Charisma points all serve to alter the characters physical appearance. 


'''Recovery From Addiction'''

The only cure for this addiction is powerful healing magic, although lesser magic will restore the PCs scores back to their normal levels. If the character is cured of their addiction their scores will remain at their current levels, until some form of restoration magic is used.


If a once addicted character ever has Saffron again, they become addicted with no chance of being cured. However this is unlikely to occur, because such a character develops an almost pathological hatred of the herb, and is likely to attack anyone in possession of it, and destroy it whenever they see it. (This is up to the player and the GM, but allows a lot of good campaign ideas.)


'''SUAEYSIT'''

'''Chance Of Overdose'''

If a roll of 20 is made by the herbalist when administering this herb the PC will suffer a +4 bonus to all scores for a period of 1d10 minutes and must make a save vs Constitution or die. If they don't die they will collapse for 1d4 hours. When they awake all their scores will be at -4 for 1d6 days.


'''Addiction and Withdrawal'''

The addiction is psychological in nature. The PC can choose not to take the herb any time they wish, but many will not due to the consequences. As Druann (the herbs creator) says taking the herb increase all the PCs attributes for 1d4 hours. I suggest that after this period has elapsed all the PCs scores, and their saving rolls will drop by -1 for an equivalent number of days. The way to counteract this is to take another dose and raise the scores again for 1d4 hours, and then the scores will drop by 1 for an additional 1d4 days again. In other words say a PC has, at the end of each 'up' period, lasting say an average of 2.5 hours, another dose of the herb in order to keep the scores up. If they do this 10 times in succession, thus giving them 20.5 hours of 'up' periods, they must then put up with 20.5 days of 'down' time. They can quit if they like, and suffer no more disadvantage than lower scores for 3 weeks or they can continue taking the herb.


'''Recovery From Addiction'''

As described above, all that is necessary to recover from addiction to this herb is a desire to quit, and a willingness to accept the consequences.


'''TATEESHA'''

For the purposes of this appendix, I will only consider the addictive effects of the silks. The mildly addictive qualities of tateen nuts will not be considered here.


'''Chance of Overdose'''

If a 20 is rolled on the ability check when administering this herb, the recipient will overdose. Overdoes will also occur if Tateesha silks are smoked more than once in a 24 hour period. Overdose of this herb will cause the recipient to lose touch with reality for between 10 and 30 minutes. They will hallucinate, normally that they are being attacked, and they will treat any approach by a person as an attack. During this period of hallucination, they will fight with a -3 penalty to any attack rolls, are incapable of using spells of any sort (although they are quite likely to think that any spells they cast have been effective.) They will also be able to endure wounds that would normally cause unconsciousness. After the initial effects described above, the recipient will collapse into a coma for 3d6 hours. They will awaken with a severe headache, and no recollection of the events following their overdose. There is a 1 in 20 chance that they will suffer a stroke during this coma, which may (10% chance) kill them, or (20% chance) leave them paralysed down one side.


'''Addiction and Withdrawal'''

Addiction may occur if Tateesha silks are smoked more than once in a two week period. The chance of addiction begins at one in six, but increases by a further one in six each time the herb is used during that two week period.


A Tateesha addict is extremely lethargic, and finds it very hard to get excited or involved about anything, except another dose of the herb. Their Intelligence and Wisdom scores are 1 point lower than normal unless they have smoked Tateesha in the previous two days. An addict experiencing withdrawal will smoke the herb at any opportunity, unless they make a save vs poison. A successful save allows them to suppress the craving for 2d6 hours, although they still suffer the Intelligence and Wisdom penalties.


'''Recovery From Addiction'''

A Tateesha addict who manages to do without the herb for more than a month will no longer suffer the Intelligence and Wisdom penalties, although they will still use the herb at any opportunity unless they make their save vs poison. At this stage, though, a successful save will suppress the craving for 1d4 days. If an addict manages to go an additional 2 months (a total of 3 months) without the herb they will no longer experience this craving. Any use of the herb, after being addicted will instantly readdict the person.


'''WORMWOOD'''

I have had grave concerns about including this information on addiction in the guide, and as Absinthe is so dangerous, as compared to other substance contained, I will not provide game rules. I suggest that the GM not allow the use of Absinthe in his games. It is only mentioned in the guide for the sake of completeness in the section on Wormwood. While Wormwood is a herb, like the others in this appendix. Absinthe is a dangerous drug of dependency with NO beneficial effects, and is therefore outside the purpose of this guide.

It is totally up to you, as a GM, as to how you use these herbs in your own RPG campaign. Many people use them as just another form of healing. This is fine, but I feel that this means missing out on a lot of potential adventure ideas, and opportunities.


In Europe, herbalism was a major science of the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance, and like many such sciences was not well understood. Many people ascribed the efficacy of herbal remedies to all sorts of magical influences. Certain herbs could only be cut by moonlight, others were associated with all sorts of traditions. Many herbs had their uses dictated by their appearance. As an example, Lungwort was held to be good for the lungs simply because the herb looks vaguely lung like. Sometimes through sheer fluke, this ''Doctrine of Signatures'' was accurate, which only served to increase the mystical connections in the yes of the general populace.


The middle ages, where most fantasy campaigns are set, were a time of great diseases, like the Black Death, and a time where many died young. A man or woman who could heal these diseases was revered. Some were seen as holy men, others as servants of evil. As an example, Nostradamus, the famous French seer, was a medical doctor, who first came to the attention of prominent people because of his success in treating the plague. This same success also brought him to the attention of the Inquisition, who investigated him as a witch. According to some legends, he was saved from the stake because he treated and saved the Chief Inquisitor. A more mundane example is that many of the unfortunate women burned or hanged for witchcraft were nothing more than herbalists, albeit sometimes very mystical ones.


This leads to interesting role-playing opportunities for PCs. Perhaps the local lords daughter lies dying of the plague, and they must save her or suffer the consequences of their witchcraft. It may be dangerous to be a herbalist in some communities. A PC herbalist is also likely to have an interest in the other pseudo-sciences of Medieval times, like astrology, or later, phrenology, which is likely to increase this prejudice. 


Herbs were incredibly prized in Medieval times, normally for their food value, rather than their medicinal uses. Many of the great journeys of the middle ages and renaissance, many of the great Voyages of Discovery were undertaken in order to find new routes to Asia, and its vast resources of herbs and spices. Marco Polos journeys, the Voyages of Columbus, the discovery by Europeans of both the Americas and Australia, were all inspired, at least in part by herbs. When Columbus reached the Carribean, he observed the Arawak Indians smoking tobacco. When Captain James Cook explored the east coast of Australia, he brought with him a botanist, Joseph Banks, for the purpose of identifying plants and their uses. In a fantasy campaign, these reasons are just as likely to be valid. Great journeys, great Voyages of Exploration, the stuff of adventures, can all occur if the GM wishes. 


For much of history, herbs were incredibly valuable. According to Christian tradition, the three kings brought Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh to honour the new king, Jesus. Frankincense and Myrrh are both gum resins of trees. These herbs were so valuable as to be considered kingly gifts. Herbs were so valuable that wars were fought for their control. Aloe was so prized by the Ancient Greeks, that Alexander the Great is reported to have been asked by Aristotle, to conquer the island of Socotra, the only known source of the plant in order to ensure a constant supply. India was occupied by the British East India Company, and later by Britain itself, partly because of its vast supplies of herbs. Colonial America built much of its industry around the propagation and transport of herbs from place to place. Tea was so prized, that it served as the spark that ignited the United States War of Independence, when a tax was placed upon its import - the Boston Tea Party. So herbs were, in several ways, responsible for the rise and fall of great nations.

Great trade routes operated between Europe and Asia, for the purpose of transporting herbs and spices, and these trade routes became the basis of much piracy, and also of much travel. The need for fast transport of herbs and spices lead to ever faster ships, being built, like the Great Tea Clippers. Great companies were formed, which helped contribute to the rise of the merchant class, and the fall of the feudal system. Governments sought to control the import of herbs and spices, by creating monopolies and by heavy taxes. Smuggling was rampant as people tried to avoid these duties.


These are just a few examples of the use of herbs in our world, and their effects on history. They may help GMs to come up with adventures or even campaign ideas. If you do use herbalism as a source for adventures or campaign ideas, I would love to hear about them.

I would also like to thank the contributors to the usenet group, ALT.FOLKLORE.HERBS for their valuable discussions on herbalism, herbs, and their uses.


I would like to thank all people who have written or contributed to official or unofficial rules supplements on the Net and elsewhere for their inspiration in particular Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, authors and originators of Dungeons & Dragons, Ed Greenwood, the creator of The Forgotten Realms, Dave Morris and Oliver Johnson, the co-creators of the Dragon Warriors FRPG, the authors of The Complete Guide to Alcohol for Fantasy Role Playing Games for their appendix on drug use, Hank Driskill and John Gavigan for their unofficial Highlander rules which got me interested in Netbooks, the author(s) of the Netbook: Poisons of the Realm, who I have been unable to identify, but who did a sterling job in providing rules for hundreds of poisons. Adrienne Mills used this work as a foundation for her Net Book of Poisons which is very detailed and I recommend to anyone. Finally Ron Knight (Modar) who also produced an excellent list of poisons and rules for using them.


The above list may, unfortunately, be incomplete. If I left you out, I apologise. Please let me know, so I can rectify the omission.
