● Aadarna
o Temperate and Tropical Swamps
o A tough plant that grows on the edges of swamps, the stem grows
symmetrical pairs of stiff oval leaves. During warmer months the
plant blossoms into violet flowers. The large roots of the plant can
be ground into a powder and is the main ingredient in a potion
that allows other people to see into other realms, often referred to
as Sight Beyond. For the next hour after drinking, the vision of the
character shifts to the Astral Realm. They may perceive what
happens from a position that corresponds to their location in the
Material Realm. During that time, they are blind to everything that
happens in the Material Realm, including combat.
● Abyssal Blackgrass
o Underdark/Caves
o Thick black weed native to the Underdark that propagates via tiny
seeds. On the surface it appears as 1-foot diamater clumps, but its
roots extend in a 50 ft diamater just beneath the surface. Natural
healing is prevented when standing above its roots, and magical
healing only heals half the normal HP. If the clump is pulled out,
the plant survives and regrows the clump in 1d4 days. Only
digging up the whole root system or the use of a Blight-type spell
can truly kill it. Has taint-mechanic boosting effects.
● Adamant Algae
o Temperate and Tropical Oceans
o Rare algae that grows in water gathered around adamantine.
Produces dark red liquid that doubles natural healing rate for 24
hours (requires 1 ounce per 100 lb of body weight). Typical pool
contains 32 ounces of the liquid, which becomes useless 30
minutes after removal from the pool unless stored in an
adamantine vial (200 gp), which makes it last for 1 month.
● Adder’s Tongue
o Temperate Plains
o The herb has one leaf which grows from a stalk about three inches
from the ground. It's 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.
● Adgana
o Temperate Plains
o The leaves of this plant must be dried. They may then be crushed
and eaten. It's 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
o Temperate Plains
o 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. 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.
● Air Plant
o Temperate Rivers
o A sponge-like pond-surface plant that produces and stores air. A
fist-sized piece can be held in the mouth to provide a medium
creature with 5 minutes of air before dying.
● Aldaka
o Temperate Forests
o The roots of this low ground-cover plant must be brewed over a low
fire for one week, and the resulting distillation drunk. If used
successfully, sight will be restored to the recipient provided the eye
remains.
● Alether
o Temperate and Tropical Forest
o Eating a handful of these orange berries will add +1 to both a
characters chance to hit, and to their damage rolls for 2d6
minutes. The berries can be brewed in white wine to produce a
drink that will add +2 to the recipients chance to hit, and
temporarily give them 2d4 hp. This effect lasts for 2d12 minutes,
and ends with the characters total collapse for 1d3 days unless
they successfully save against poison (DC 15 Cons.). This brew will
only be useful for one month after manufacture and then loses its
potency.
● Alfengrape
o Temperate Plains and Farms
o A glowing grape-vine magically created by elves that produces
grapes all year around that all count as a meal for a day and can
be made into very potent wine. Mature plants sells for 100 gp and
can live up to 700 years.
● Alil
o Desert
o A succulent desert plant that sprouts small pink flowers with a
center filled with large black seeds. Alil can be chewed or smoked,
and induces a brief cataleptic trance wherein strange visions may
be experienced. In addition to these recreational effects, alil has a
tendency to awaken latent psionic ability, which leads to it having
a certain degree of popularity among adventurers. Any player
character experiencing the alil trance must make an Intelligence
check on 1d20. A roll of under or equal to the character's
Intelligence indicates that the drug has activated a previously
unknown part of the character's mind, and he gains a random
psionic ability until the next long rest.
▪ Roll 1d10:
● 1. Temporary intelligence bonus of 1.
● 2. Precision Mind: you become skilled at reading your
foes. With this capability, you can call upon your gift
to strike with increased accuracy. You add your
Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) to an attack roll,
after the roll, but before the announcement of the
result. You can use this feature a number of times
equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1).
● 3. Immunity to psychic damage.
● 4. You cannot be charmed or frightened for the
duration.
● 5. You may take two actions during each of your turns
for the duration.
● 6. You may add 1d6 psychic damage to any attack you
make of 5 or less damage.
● 7. You project a field of improbability around yourself,
creating a fleeting protective shell, gaining +4
temporary bonus to AC.
● 8. You may, as a bonus action once per combat,
instantly deliver a massive assault on the thought
pathways of any one creature, dealing 1d10 points of
damage to it.
● 9. You heal another creature’s wounds, transferring
some of its damage to yourself. When you manifest
this power, you can heal as much as 2d10 points of
damage to an ally by taking half of this damage to
yourself.
● 10. You may gain proficiency in one extra skill until
the long rest or proficiency with one tool or instrument
permanently.
● Alkanet
o Temperate Plains
o This plant has a thick red root, narrow hairy leaves, and small red
or blue flowers. The root can be eaten directly upon being drawn
out of the ground but will only keep for a week or so. The herb
allows a +1 bonus to any saving throw vs ingested poisons for 1d8
hours after eating.
● All-Heale
o Temperate Forests
o When all-heale is mixed in a pint of olive oil and applied to a
wound, (one application per day), the recipient will heal even if still
working as normal. With rest, the recipient will heal at three times
the normal rate.
● Allathorne
o Arctic Mountains
o Growing in the cold north, this scraggly and thorny bush endures
extreme hardships, and only blossoms for a few short weeks
during the year. The sparse leaves of the plant are large and waxy,
and point upward toward the sun. While some of the bush remains
above ground, the majority of the plant is an extensive root system
that spreads far and deep beneath the earth. Brewing the dried
berries into a strong and bitter tea creates a drink that staves off
the cold, and is a much sought-after drink in Neverwinter. Brewing
the dried berries of the Allathorne bush into a strong and bitter tea
creates a drink that staves off the cold. Those that drink the tea
are granted a +1 bonus on saving throws against the cold, or cold
based damage, for the next hour.
● Alligator Teeth
o Temperate Mountains
o A rough bush that primarily inhabits rocky regions, and grows to
about the height of a man and similar in diameter. The stalk of the
plant is covered in sharp white thorns, providing the plant’s
namesake. Villagers often cultivate rows of the plant as a measure
of safety. Spiders also seem overly attracted to the bush. It is rare
to see such a bush without the glimmer of webbing in between the
thorny branches.
● Aloe
o Temperate, Tropical, and Desert Climates with Sandy Soil
o The leaf of Aloe applied to a wound, will double the natural healing
rate of burns and minor cuts.
● Amrans
o Temperate Plains
o The lilac flowers can be prepared into a potion that rapidly cures
wounds 3d6 if properly prepared, 1d4 if poorly.
● Angakara Tree
o Temperate Forest
o A broad oak that sprouts many branches and is often covered by a
multitude of light green leaves. In previous ages, the tree was
favored for the construction of bows. However, due to increasing
rarity, the nation has sought other sources of wood. The tree once
thrived in the area now occupied by the Dragonwall. However,
many of the trees were felled during the construction of the Great
Wall, and have never grown back. Those few trees that lay on the
side of the Horse Plains have withered and perished, leaving
behind ancient reminders of what once was.
● Angel’s Cactus
o Desert
o This barrel shaped cactus sprouts a pair of symmetrical branches
that are broad and flattened, giving an appearance much like
“wings”. The cactus is covered by tapered yellow thorns, often
giving the cactus an appearance of having a golden aura. In the
cooler months, the cactus sprouts clusters of small white flowers.
Tapping the water contained within the cactus and distilling it over
a period of months creates an interesting tasting wine. Those
drinking it say that it tastes fruity, but with a touch of something
they can’t quite place. This wine is often called “Angel Wine”, and
is sold by Shaarmid merchants throughout Faerun.
● Angelica
o Angelica's root should be boiled in water for an hour and then
drunk in order to relieve coughs. The plant can grow to a height of
eight feet. It has a hollow stem and has large, broad pointed leaves
at the base of the stem. It has a cluster of white or pink flowers at
the top of the stem. The herbs does not in any way act as a cure
for any disease causing a cough, it merely reduces the amount of
coughing.
● Anise
o Temperate Plains
o Anise grows to height of about two feet, and is distinguished by its
unusual leaf formation. At its base, the leaves are heart shaped
and toothed, but as we progress up the stalk they are small and
feathery. It has delicate white flowers which ripen in summer to
produce small ridged seeds. These seeds should be crushed and
left to stew for ten minutes in boiling water. The resultant mixture
should then be strained and drunk as desired. A successful
application will relieve hiccups.
● Anserke
o Tropical Coastal
o The root must be applied to a bleeding wound. Within three rounds
it will have stopped the bleeding. The recipient must not move for
one turn or risk the wound reopening.
● Archangelica
o Temperate Coastal
o This white flowering plant has black seeds and roots with a sharp
taste. The root, when brewed, makes a hot, peppery decoction that
helps alleviate common colds, flu and congestions (doubles
recovery time, adds +2 to Constitution rolls to prevent colds in bad
weather).
● Arfandas
o Arctic Rivers
o If the stem of Arfandas is bound up in the dressing of a fracture, it
will double the rate of healing for that fracture.
● Arkas Grass
o Temperate Plains
o Type of Grass used as Horsefeed, fillies raised on Arkas Grass grow
up to have a 70 ft landspeed and +2 Dex & Con, grant a +2 on
Handle Animal against them and can be trained in half the normal
time. Used as feed for other pets and familiars, grants 5 temporary
hit points until the next long rest.
● Arkasu
o Desert
o When the sap of the Arkasu plant is applied to wounds, it doubles
the rate of healing. The effect is not cumulative.
● Arlan
o Temperate and Arctic Plains
o The leaf of Arlan when applied to a wound will heal 1 hp of damage
if it is used within 5 rounds. Arlan will also grant advantage on
constitution saves against respiratory poisons.
● Arnica
o This plant grows to a height of 1 to 2 feet. It has a hairy stem on
which its leaves are arranged in pairs. It has orange flowers. These
flowers should be plucked and dried, and then boiled in a litre of
beer. This should be applied to a compress which is wrapped
around a bruise. A successful application will cause the bruise to
fade within one day. The pollen of the flowers if inhaled will cause
uncontrollable sneezing. A phial of arnica carried in a persons
pocket is also reputed to help a person quit smoking.
● Arnuminas
o Temperate Plains
o The leaf of this plant should be applied to the site of ligament,
cartilage, or muscle damage. If used successfully, it will double the
speed of healing of such damage.
● Arpusar
o Arctic Rivers
o The stalks of this plant must be brewed for one week in fresh water
at the end of which time it may be drunk. If it is successful, it will
heal any damage to a persons muscles that are capable of healing
naturally within one day.
● Asarabacca
o Temperate Forest
o Asarabacca is a creeping vine with many small leaves each on their
own small stalk. It also has small purple flowers. These flowers
must be brewed up on a fire and left to stand. When administered
successfully to someone, they must save vs poison or be rendered
docile, and incapable of violence for 3d8 hours. The brew has a
distinctive purple colour, and bitter taste, so to be given secretly in
food, the food must be able to hide these attributes.
● Ash
o Temperate Forest
o 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 poison. 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.
● Ash Willow
o Temperate and Tropical Forest
o Dark red tree that can grow to 120 ft tall. It thrives of heat, often
growing from pools of lava. They continuously rain ash around
them, producing 1 lb per day per 10 ft of its height. It extends
runner roots that spawn 1d3 new tree each month. They create
areas of calm, slow-burning forests within the volatile plane.
● Ashline
o Temperate Forest
o Ashline is a small red flower, with very pale green leaves. The
entire plant must be mashed and boiled in fine red wine for one
week and the resultant mixture mixed with olive oil. When this
liquid is poured over a petrified person it will, on a successful roll,
restore them to their normal state.
● Athelas (Kingsfoil)
o Tropical Forest and Swamp
o It appears as a vine with dark green leaves divided into four parts.
According to legend, the leaves of Athelas when crushed by the
hands of a King over the afflicted person are capable of curing
anything, including death.
● Atigax
o Temperate Plains
o The roots of this plant must be brewed over a low fire for one day,
and the resulting distillation drunk. If used successfully, sight will
be protected from glare or blinding light for a period of nine hours.
This herb can thus be used to limit the ill effects suffered by
subterranean creatures (such as drow) in full sunlight.
● Atramen
o Arctic, Temperate, and Tropical Coastal
o A flat, disk-shaped fruit that grows in the shoals of most major
waterways. It can be cold-pressed into an oil that, when thrown as
a splash weapon or used as a poison to coat weapons, imposes a -
4 penalty on Constitution saves for 1 minute.
● Attanar
o Temperate Rivers
o Attanar is a moss, which when applied to the forehead of a
stricken person, will cure fevers. It takes effect 2d6 hours after it is
successfully administered.
● Azure Leaves
o Temperate Forest
o These tenacious vines grow in the darkest parts of deep forests,
winding and wrapping their way around tree trunks and branches.
While the vines are a deep shade of green, the leaves are an odd
shade of blue. Drying the leaves and then smoking them provides
the smoker a sense of euphoria and calmness that lasts for 1d4+4
minutes. However, smoking the leaves is often addicting, and
requires a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw each time to avoid
becoming addicted to the feeling of euphoria that the leaves bring.
B
● Balm
o Temperate and Tropical Plains
o Balm is a plant about 2 to 3 feet tall with squarish stems. It has
oval, serrated leaves. It has small flowers which can be any shade
from white to blue, which form small clusters at the base of the
leaves. It reputedly has properties of bestowing longevity and uses
as a aphrodisiac, and so could be used as an ingredient in "Potions
of Longevity" as well as love potions.
● Balon’s Plant
o Desert
o Growing close to the ground in areas with minimal water, the plant
only sprouts a trio of wide leaves which spread outward to absorb
as much moisture as possible. Below the sand the root system
delves deep to find hidden reservoirs of water that are not evident
on the surface. Also known as “bread of the desert”, this plant
develops large spherical fruits nearly the size of a man’s head.
These fruits have a tough and leathery exterior, but when cut
open, the fruit has the consistency of fluffy bread or cake. The
seeds of the fruit are quite small. Each fruit contains enough
nutrients to sustain four people for a day. Unfortunately, farming
the plant seems to be near impossible. The seeds must be within a
medium-size creature when it dies, at which point the release of
certain gasses causes the seeds to mature and greedily absorb as
much moisture and nutrients from the corpse as possible. This
rich bounty allows the plant to develop a strong root system.
● Barberry
o Temperate Plains and Forests
o The Barberry plant has sharp thorns on its twigs. It can obtain a
height in excess of eight feet. It has roughly oval shaped leaves,
which are smooth with toothed edges. It has pale yellow flowers
which produce oval red berries, with a small black dot at their tip.
Barberries should be ground up in cold water and be left to stand
in cold water, and then boiled quickly. This mixture should be
drunk as a cure for liver disorders such as jaundice. If successfully
administered the cure should take effect within two weeks.
However three failed applications mean that there is never any
hope of cure by this method.
● Barrelstalk
o Desert, Underdark/Caves
o Large cask-shaped fungus that grows to 5 x 8 ft. Outside is hard
as woody, inner flesh is edible, center contains 20 to 50 gallons of
water. After 10 years of growth, it beings spore production and the
flesh grows black and poisonous.
● Base Mullein
o Base Mullein is very easily found due to the fact that its flower
stalks often obtain a height of 8 feet or more. Its clear yellow
flowers cover about 3 feet of the top of the stalk, and form a long
funnel about an inch or two in diameter. If the leaves of this herb
are applied to a burn within one hour, it will reduce the damage
taken from the burn, by half.
● Basil
o Temperate Plains, Forests, and Mountains
o Basil leaves should be applied to the bite of a venomous creature,
and it will then have the effect of drawing out the poison. It will
give a bonus of +4 to the saving throw vs poison, or if the save has
already been made and failed, it will allow a second saving throw at
normal values. Any damage already sustained will remain. The
herb has one upright stalk, and small white flowers.
● Bastit
o Desert
o A small succulent that, when crushed, tends to repel parasitic
insects, including mosquitoes and the like (-2 to Rolls for Initiative
for Insectoids). It has a pungent but not unpleasant odour. (Lasts
1d6 hours but can be washed or sweated off. Easily noticed by
tracking animals.)
● Belan
o Desert
o The small brown nuts, produced from a desert scrub bush can be
eaten to stop bleeding (including internal bleeding). Within two
hours it will have stopped the bleeding. The recipient must not
move for one additional hour or risk the bleeding restarting.
● Belramba
o Temperate Rivers
o Belramba is a lichen. It must be brewed in water, and then drunk
three days later. If used successfully, all nerve damage capable of
healing naturally will be healed, at three times the normal rate.
● Bija Tree
o Temperate and Arctic Forests
o A leafy evergreen tree, the trunks grow about as round as a man
can reach, and their boughs are often fashioned into brooms by
the common people. The seeds hold another use, and is often
ground into a fine powder called Green Sleeping Dust. The dust is
primarily used by ninja in service to the Soretyo family of Foo
Nakar and as a drug in higher society. When this powder is
inhaled, it forces a target to make a DC 19 Constitution saving
throw or fall unconscious for 2d6 minutes.
● Bilberry
o Temperate Forest
o Bilberries are small black berries. They must be mixed with pure
alcohol and left to stand for fifteen days, at the end of which time
they must be drunk. A successful application will give a human
the truesight ability for 2d6 days, but a failed application may lead
to the death (constitution save penalty -4) of the person who drinks
it, as if they had drunk a potent poison (-25 hit points over 1d4
minutes).
● Birthnot
o Temperate and Arctic Plains
o Birthnot is a dark-leaved, flowerless vine. The dried leaves can be
used to create a contraceptive tea effective on most humans,
demihumans and humanoids, male or female. Must be ingested
between 1 hour - 30 minutes before properties invoked. (70%
effective; causes mild impotence in males 15% of the time.)
● Bishop’s Weed
o Temperate and Arctic Mountains
o Bishop's weed is a small plant with pale blue flowers, and small
pale green leaves. This herb will protect people from plague (+5 to
Constitution Saves against disease). It is drunk in wine, and is
effective for one week. In plague years, its price increases rapidly.
● Bison-Gourd
o A vine that grows along the ground, the plant has irregular shaped
leaves, and during warmer months the plant produces large yellow
flowers shaped like trumpets. The flowers later turn into yellow
and orange fruit with a slightly salty taste. The plant’s seeds could
be harvested to extract the oil that works well as an insect
repellant. The odor from the oil is almost imperceptible to people,
but is effective at repelling bothersome insects. (-5 to Rolls for
Initiative for Insectoids)
● Bittergar Bush
o Arctic, Temperate, and Tropical Plains
o A small thistle-like shrub that grows in most low-lying areas in
Faerun, the leaves are the source of the herb called drace. While
raw drace is horribly bitter, once cooked it provides a delightful
seasoning which enhances the other flavors of other food.
● Bittermourn
o Arctic Plains and Rivers
o A rare, colorless lichen that grows on rocks beneath year-round
ice. When crushed and strained, it creates a clear gel at freezing
temperatures that melts into liquid when warmer. Imbibing a pint
slows the aging process and grants a lifespan of twice normal
length. If imbibed by someone during near-death or after death,
will place the person into a deep magical coma or reduce the cost
of a resurrection spell.
● Blackberry
o The leaves of these small black berries should be crushed and
applied to small wounds, where they can stop minor bleeding very
quickly (within one round).
● Blackcorn
o Resembling actual corn, but in far miniature, the plants generally
grow on the edges of swamps and other humid areas. Unlike corn,
it is overly difficult to cultivate and farm, which attributes to the
rarity of the plant. Upon ripening, small ears of violet and coal
colored corn stand upon the tips of the plant stalks. Eating the
kernels provides a bitter taste to those willing to try it. However,
the vegetable is prized not for eating, but for making a sweet
alcohol called Blackcorn Whiskey that has a strong flavor of
plums. Due to the heavy alcohol content, it is often mixed with
fruit juices. A more potent version of the brew is often distilled by
dwarves, however, such a process takes considerably longer, and is
worth 30 gold per bottle.
● Blackroot
o Underdark/Caves
o A thin vine that has small dark leaves, the vine predominantly
grows underground near lakes and pools. The vine generally grows
in places where a small bit of light occurs, sometimes thriving off
of the glow provided by phosphorescent moss. Blackroot's roots
can be applied to fresh wounds in order to promote quick healing
(applied immediately, gives 1d4 back to character at once) while
the leaves can be crushed into the powder known as blackroot
poison. Those injured by a blade coated in the poison must
succeed at a DC 13 Consituion saving throw or suffer 16 (4d6)
poison damage and be poisoned for 1 hour. Addiionally, if the
target fails the saving throw by 5 or more, they are Paralyzed for
1d6 minutes.
● Black Rose
o This rare rose is easily identified by its black, velvety flower and
long white thorns. The thorns are hollow and absorb liquids at a
rate of a pint every 5 minutes. The liquid is stored in the plant's
fibrous roots. The black rose's roots are often used to draw poison
from wounds or, placed under the tongue, to absorb alcohol and
prevent intoxication. Sometimes victims are tied down and pierced
with the thorns to cause prolonged and painful exsanguination.
● Bloodkeep
o Temperate and Tropical Mountains
o Tall stalks with jagged leaves and purple-red flowers, bloodkeep's
fresh leaves can be bound to a wound to stop bleeding at once and
quicken coagulation (apply within 2 rounds of injury to stop
bleeding; character regains 20% - rounded down - of lost hit points
at once).
● Bloodpurge
o Floating on the surface of marshes, the plant consists of a cluster
of broad, waxy leaves, and a single root that trails down into the
water. The leaves are a bright green with red capillaries. During
the warmer months a bright red flower sprouts from the top.
Drying the plant causes it to turn into a flaky powder, which is
often used in a distilled tincture to neutralize minor poisons. A
single dose of Bloodpurge powder costs about 15 gold pieces,
making the plant quite valuable.
● Bloodroot
o Tropical Forests
o A short plant that grows deep in the jungle, the stalks are covered
with long pointed leaves. The plant also blossoms red flowers that
appear to be similar to roses. Unearthing the plant reveals a
massive crimson root that has a faint coppery scent. Many people
seek out the plant for the root, which is said to ensure robust
fortitude in those that consume it. Upon consuming the bloodroot,
a living person must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or
be Paralyzed for 1 minute. Immediately afterward the creature
gains a +2 bonus to their Constitution saving throws for 1d4
hours. Although the initial rush of blood throughout the body
causes people to become momentarily stunned, it is often still
complimented for the other effects, which some say causes
increased virility. What few know is that the root is also sought
after by vampires, as it causes increased effects to their undead
physiology. Many such creatures take steps to covertly acquire the
plant. A vampire consuming the bloodroot immediately gains
Advantage on Charisma based skill checks for the next 1d4 hours,
and the herb causes them to immediately Rage (as per the
Barbarian class feature) if they smell blood.
● Bloodspine
o Desert and Temperate Mountains
o A succulent plant growing in rocky soil, a cluster of thick leaves
reach upward toward the sky, their edges covered in sharp thorns
and the tips bearing a single crimson spine. Interestingly, the plant
secretes a slight poison from these spines which may cause
paralysis in small animals or the infirm. Those with hardier
constitutions seek out the poison, as it provides a slight euphoric
effect in addition to the paralysis. The poison requires only a DC 5
Constitution save, or the injured will suffer complete paralysis for
1d4 hours. Those that succeed at the saving throw notice a slight
euphoric effect for the same amount of time.
● Bloodstaunch
o Desert and Temperate Mountains
o A small, leafy herb that is often found in gullies and ravines in arid
regions and foothills. The herb has bright green leaves, and smells
faintly like honey crossed with fresh rainfall. Grinding up the plant
creates a powder that can be used on open wounds to quickly
cause bleeding to slow or stop. Applying the herb to a bleeding
wound grants the recipient a single hit point, and grants another
saving throw to any bleeding effects.
● Bluecap
o Underdark/Caves
o Common underdark crop mushroom, dark blue with pale grey
spots and a pale grey stalk. The fugus itself is inedible, but spores
can be made into flour. Grows with or without natural light.
● Blueleaf
o Arctic and Temperate Forests
o Known for the gleaming blue color of the leaves, the tree often
grows in thick copses throughout the north. The thin trunks of the
trees are remarkably durable, despite high winds and heavy
snowfall, and one use of the tree is the wood, which is often used
by the Volodni craftsmen to create weapons and armor. Magically
treating the wood, which is called “bluewood”, causes it to become
as hard as steel, although only weighing half as much (crafting
with bluewood requires special training from a masterwork
craftsperson). High priced entertainers often burn small pieces of
the wood, which creates leaping blue flames. The leaves and sap
are often ground in the creation of a vivid blue dye that is used to
dye clothes in the North, and often in the creation of inks for
tattoos. One pirate fleet that has plagued the Sword Coast in
recent years is notorious for their crews bearing frightening looking
blue tattoos covering their faces.
● Bone Fungus
o Underdark/Caves
o Bulbous ivory-colored fungus that releases a 10 ft cloud of spores,
in the presence of motion, that work as an inhaled poison (DC
Constitution 15, 1d8-1 poison damage). If damage is taken, bone
density is reduced, resulting in extra damage from bludgeoning in
the form of an extra space for criticals against you (19 or 20 counts
as a crit). The fungi are immune to acid and thunder, destroyed by
cold or radiant damage, fire and electricity also destroy but release
spores.
● Boomshroom
o Typically found in swamps and marshes growing in a radius of up
to 300 ft. A successful Sleight of Hand check allows you to pick
one, but it renders them inert. If unsuccessfully picked, explodes
as if from an Arcane Explosion spell. Always regrow in the same
spot 10 days after triggering or any other attempt to purge them.
● Borage
o This plant has hollow, hairy cylindrical stalks which grow to a
height of 1 to 2 feet. It has drooping flowers, red or blue in colour,
which are shaped as a five pointed star at the top of the stem. The
dried herb should be boiled in water and the infusion drunk. It is
used to cure minor fevers such as those caused by chills, and
influenza. It will relieve the fever in 1d4 hours.
● Brelidar

o This flower, when eaten, alters the way a person judges distance
for a period of one hour. While under the influence of the flower, a
person can add a bonus of two to ranged combat attacks, while
subtracting two from melee attacks.
● Bronzewood
o Arctic, Temperate, and Tropical Forests
o Hard wood native to extremely oldgrowth forests that is as durable
as steel/iron but 10% lighter, although it can't be used for chain
weapons. Advantage on stealth checks in a woodlands
environment while wearing bronzewood armor. Crafting of armor
requires training from at least a moderate level craftsman.
● Bull-Rush
o Bull-rushes are tall straight stemmed plants with many small
flowers at the top of the stalk. These flowers must be ground into
an ointment which is applied to a persons eyes or tongue. This
herb will put someone to sleep for 3d12 hours. A roll of 1 on the
ability check will put the person into a coma.
● Burdock
o Temperate Plains
o This plant grows to about 3 feet tall. It has huge leaves with a
whitish underside, and purple flours. Its root must be boiled in
water and then the root eaten and the water drunk as a cure for
venereal disease. The person will be cured within a week.
● Bursthelas
o Temperate Plains
o Bursthelas must be brewed for one week in fine red wine before it
can be used. It must then be drunk within one month or spoil. A
successful draft will heal any surface level scars or deformities in a
period of 6 hours.
● Butterspice Weed
o Temperate and Tropical Forests
o A short leafy plant, the top sprouts large yellow flowers upon
reaching maturity. The plant is quite hardy and can grow in a
surprising wide variety of places. The most renown quality of the
plant is that the leaves can be harvested and cured, becoming
crumbly, brown flakes, which can be smoked. It is quite well
known among halflings, which often grow it in small patches along
with other crops. Those that smoke the weed claim that it has a
smooth spicy flavor. Upon smoking spice weed, a wave of euphoria
slowly washes over the smoker, lasting for 2d6+10 minutes.
During that time, the smoker suffers a -2 penalty to Dexterity
saving throws. Halflings are affected for double the duration.
C
● Caffar
o Tropical Forests
o A small, brown nut that grows from short, green, leafy understory
plants in forests, typically ground into powder and brewed into a
dark, sweet-smelling beverage, traditionally with a goat's milk
base. The drink is renowned by shaman and psionics for its boon
to their all-seeing abilities. (+1 to all wisdom checks until the next
long rest. If more than three cups are imbibed, causes a -2 to rolls
to hit as the imbiber is too jumpy and caffeinated to focus.
● Calacaza Bush
o Tropical Forest and Deserts
o A fragrant bush that grows in the dense jungle and sparse desert,
the veined leaves and branches are a pale green, and the plant
appears to strive to reach upward toward the canopy above. At the
end of each branch are clusters of small white flowers or berries,
depending on the time of year. The small white berries that the
plant produces are actually quite poisonous (Those that ingest the
berries must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or suffer 32
(8d6) poison damage and be poisoned for 1d6 hours. If the target
makes the saving throw, they only suffer half damage). Local tribes
avoid the berries unless they are using them to coat their
arrowheads and blowgun darts (Adds +2 poison damage to
successful attacks made using a blowgun).
● Calamus
o Temperate and Tropical Coastal and Rivers
o This reed grows in small grassy clumps. It can grow from about 2
to 6 feet in height and has very small yellow green flowers that jut
out from the stem. The leaves are long, thin and light green in
color and smells faintly sweet. The root is white with a red brown
peel. The root must be peeled and boiled in fresh water within a
day of being picked, and should then be drunk by the recipient.
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,
and granting +1 to perception checks involving sound. 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.
● Calcena Mushroom
o Underdark/Caves
o Anyone who breathes in the spores of one of these small, pink
mushrooms incurs a -3 penalty on all saves vs illusions for 2d12
hours. The mushroom may be brewed into a potion by brewing tea
and leaving the mushroom to stand in the tea for 2 weeks. The
resultant concoction when drunk is a powerful hallucinogen.
Anyone under the influence of it will see whatever the GM wants
them to see. This effect lasts for 1d4 hours in which the player
enters a trance and responds lazily to interaction with other
characters or NPC’s.
● Calithil
o A twisted and tough vine that grows in rocky crags high in the
mountains, the waxy leaves of the plant are small and grow in
clumps. Small white flowers grow on the vines, which turn into
light blue berries which are quite tart. Dwarves send their children
out to pick the berries, so that they may be harvested into a
specialty wine and jams. Those drinking the wine often have an
unfounded feeling of invincibility, while those consuming the jam
often feel satiated and satisfied with their meal.
● Callin
o Tropical Forests
o A dark nut that grows on the Callin tree in tropical jungles. When
the husk is dried, ground and ingested, it thins the blood and
strengthens internal organs, helping to prevent heart attacks, and
has the side effect of reducing anxiety and panic.
● Cassil
o Temperate and Tropical Plains and Forests
o Mustard-like shrub, whose seeds can be made into a powder that
suppresses male fertility for 3d4 days (1 hour to take effect). DC 15
Medicine or Nature check can detect its effects, while a DC 20
check can reverse them.
● Cat’s Tail
o Arctic, Temperate, and Tropical Coastal and River
o Cat's tail is a small plant with long thin spear shaped leaves rising
from its base, and a single long, thin, soft flower at the top of the
stalk. This herb when made into a salve, will heal all damage to a
person's feet.
● Cave Moss
o Underdark/Caves
o A dark dependent moss, wilting in lighting brighter than Dim, that
is grazed upon by giant vermin and cave creatures.
● Cave Star
o Underdark/Caves
o Glowing yellow lichen found on chill cave roofs, but can't stand
warm places. It can be made into Lantern Stars, which a fist-sized
balls of glass containing a mixture of Cave Star and reagents that
give light as a torch for 4 hours.
● Cephalophage
o Underdark/Caves
o 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
1d4 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 and possibly in creating undead.
● Chamomile
o Temperate Plains
o This plant can grow up to 2 feet tall, and has a branched stem. It
has few leaves, and these are finely divided. The flower heads have
yellow centres which are domed in shape with a hollow at their
very centre. The petals of this plant bend backwards towards the
stem. The flowers from a single plant must be immersed in boiling
water and the resultant drink consumed. This drink is very bitter
and is normally mixed with honey but this is unnecessary. The
drink will last for approximately 2 months after manufacture,
while the leaves can be dried, and will then keep for up to three
years. A successful use of this herb will have a calming effect on
the consumer.
● Chervil
o Chervil is used to dissolve blood clots, which can help to prevent
complications caused by injury. The clots are dissolved within 1d4
turns. Since they dissolve clots, improper use of this herb leads to
+1 bleeding damage for the next 1d8 hours in every successful
attack against the consumer.
● Choke Mold
o Underdark/Caves and Tropical Swamps
o Bright yellow mold native to caves and swamps, commonly found
in patches that devour air, creating localized vacuums (can cause
air-tight space to collapse inwards). Creatures within 5 ft of a
patch begin to suffocate.
● Choking Cinder Fungus
o Growing on rotting wood in more moist climates, this black fungus
is generally avoided by those gathering firewood. While the fungus
is highly flammable, it emits poisonous fumes that burn the lungs.
Once ignited, the cloud of fumes lingers in a 10-ft-radius centered
on the burning fungus, and disperses in one minute in a calm
wind (or a few seconds in a stiff breeze). Those within the cloud
must make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or suffer 4 (1d6)
poison damage and be poisoned. Each round those that are within
the cloud must make the saving throw, or suffer the damage.
● Cinquefort
o Temperate Forests
o This plant creeps along the ground on long slender stringlike
stalks. It has five or seven part leaves, and small yellow flowers.
The stalks must be boiled in white wine or vinegar and then drunk.
The herb will then act as an aphrodisiac, and increases the
recipients Charisma by 1 for 1d4 hours.
● Coldwood
o Arctic Forests
o A Fey-created variety of Hickory that reaches maturity in 2 decades
and has properties identical to steel, except the Fey/Druid-
aversion part. Items are always masterwork, making the raw
material quite valuable.
● Colewort
o Arctic and Temperate Rivers
o Colewort is a small plant with a single large glossy leaf, and small
white flowers with four petals. Anyone who chews on the flowers
before drinking will remain sober for the entire evening. Its effects
protect only against alcohol, and not against any other drug or
toxin.
● Coltsfoot
o Temperate Plains
o The plant has a single golden yellow flower borne at the top of a
six-inch-tall stem with long, pinkish woolly scales. These flowers
are crushed and mixed with honey, and applied as a poultice to
infected wounds in an effort to draw out the infection. It does not
cure any damage.
● Comfrey
o Comfrey grows to a height of up to 3 feet. It has stiff, angular and
hollow stalks which are covered with rough hairs. It has pink,
mauve, white, or cream flowers. Its thick black root is the portion
used in herbalism. It should be boiled and wrapped in a poultice
which is then wrapped around a broken limb and increases the
speed of healing by fifty percent. It can also be used in a bath by
women in order to give the impression that they are virgins on
their wedding nights.
● Corpsebomb
o Underdark/Caves
o The fungus begins life as a tiny spore that floats along until
inhaled by a creature, and lodges itself in the moist tissue of the
lungs. The spore then begins to grow, causing irritation, pain, and
finally death once the fungus has reached a sizable mass. Once the
host creature has perished, the fungus increases growth rapidly
until it pushes a hollow tendril forth from the flesh. At the exposed
end of the tendril the fungus begins growing a thin membrane,
which is inflated by the gasses produced by the rotting body. When
the membrane ruptures and disperses the spores, every breathing
creature within a 40-foot radius sphere must make a DC 10
Constitution saving throw or have spores inhaled. If they fail, each
hour afterward, the creature must make a Constitution saving
throw with a -1 cumulative penalty to the roll. Each hour the
creature suffers a cumulative 1d6 piercing damage (2d6 on the
second failure, 3d6 on the third, etc.) as the fungus spreads
throughout the internal organs. A single success stops the process
and renders the fungus inert. If the fungus catches fire and
explodes, everyone within a 20-foot radius sphere suffers 3d6
damage on a failed Dexterity saving throw, DC 15, or half as much
on a successful save. All spores are incinerated in this process.
● Cotsbalm
o Fleshy-leafed plant with small yellow flowers that grows 1 ft tall. It
is hardy and found in temperate and sub-tropical regions. Its
syrupy sap can be applied to an injury or contact poison victim to
grant a +8 bonus on the secondary Constitution save against a
poison.
● Covadish
o Arctic Mountains
o Plant originally native to Aerenal, and later transplanted to the
cold, harsh climates of acrtic mountaintops, whose leaves, when
consumed by spellcasters, grant boons to any spells cast in the
school of necromancy, decided by the DM, until the next short
rest.
● Cow Parsnip
o Temperate Plains
o Cow parsnip has small leaves covered with tiny hairs. These hairs
must be made into a salve. Cow parsnip will cure madness for a
short period (a few hours). Repeated application over a two week
period may (DMs discretion) cure insanity altogether.
● Cow-Wheat
o Cow wheat is a small straight stemmed yellow-green plant. Its
pale-yellow flowers produce a white powder when crushed,
between two hands. If this powder is placed into food or drink it
will cause a person to act as if drunk. Each dose of this herb
successfully administered will increase the level of drunkenness by
one step.
● Creeping Mangrove
o Growing along the edge of the swamps, their gnarled roots
reaching down into the brackish water, and their spindly branches
reach into the sky. The branches are covered with small oval
shaped leaves. During warmer seasons the trees bud small hard
fruits that drop off to float along the slight currents of a swamp.
This species of mangroves have flourished in areas where others
have perished, simply for their ability to slowly pull up roots and
move to areas with more moisture. The species is also relatively
destructive, as the mangroves also have been known to uproot
small trees and brush, or simply walk over them and smashing
them down. Wood from these trees burns easily, even when
sopping wet.
● Crimson Ladies
o Temperate and Tropical Forests and Cities
o This creeping vine is found on the sides of buildings and growing
along the branches of trees. The vine itself is an odd shade of
purple, and has wide green leaves. In the summer, the vine
sprouts red flowers that resemble a woman wearing a large dress.
The flowers that blossom on the vine can be steeped in hot water
to make a poisonous tea called Crimson Tears. When Crimson
Tears is ingested, the drinker must make a DC 15 Constitution
saving throw or be blinded for 1d4+2 hours. During this time blood
weeps from their eyes, and instead of seeing the world, they see
horrific visions of things to come. After recovering from the visions,
the character gains Advantage on a single skill roll utilized within
the next day, as the visions gave them a brief glimpse of the
outcome.
● Culkas
o Temperate and Tropical Coastal
o Each application of Culkas will cure one square foot of sunburn.
D
● Dagmather
o Temperate Plains
o The spine of this plant must be brewed for one week in fresh water
at the end of which time it may be drunk. If it is successful, it will
heal any damage to a persons cartilage that are capable of healing
naturally.
● Dainaberry (Sleepberry)
o Temperate Forests
o The Dainabush is a creeping, thorny vine, much like a bramble.
Vines are about 5 mm thick, with 2 mm long thorns and are
reddish brown, darkening to black, with leaves 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.
● Darkanda Bush
o This small bush grows in desolate places, often in rocky soil high
upon a cliff face. The branches are covered in small thorns and are
gnarled and spindly, while the leaves are ragged and dark green.
The bush produces small red flowers and bitter orange berries.
When ground up and distilled, the leaves can be used to create an
interesting alchemical acid called Dragon Sand that can be used as
a poison or to corrode metal items.
● Darkberry
o Temperate and Tropical Forests, Underdark/Caves
o Short bushes with spindly branches and fluffy green leaves, the
plant is known for the unusual berries that only a few of the
bushes produce. The small purple berries contain essence from the
Plane of Shadow, and the bushes are said to only grow where the
Shadow Weave is strongest. When a Darkberry is split or crushed,
it releases shadowstuff, creating a circle of darkness with a 5ft-
radius. This darkness lasts for 1d6 rounds.
● Darkhorn
o Underdark/Caves
o Small tapered tendrils standing upward, the mushroom is quite
rigid, and the black exterior makes it difficult to see in the winding
caverns of the Underdark. The mushrooms have a slight musky
aroma that seems vaguely familiar but is difficult to determine.
Several races seed Blackthorn mushrooms at the bottom of pits,
turning them into a lethal surprise for anyone falling down upon
them. Add 1d4 piercing damage to any falling damage incurred
when a character falls down a hole that has Blackhorn growing at
the bottom.
● Darkroot
o Temperate and Tropical Rivers
o Large black twisted root that grows to 10 ft; found by waterfalls
and similar damp areas. It tastes vile, so chewing/swallowing it
induces vomiting. It can be made into Titan Gum, a strong and
fast-setting glue that bonds in one round and requires a DC 20
Strength check to remove.
● Darkshine
o Underdark/Caves, Tropical Swamps
o Crystallizing glossy-black fungus that grows sharp 6-ft long
shards. Areas with Darkshine in it function as clatrops that deal
1d10 damage, and damaged creature can not be magically healed
for 1 minute. A patch has hardness 5, 20 hp and takes half
damage from piercing and slashing weapons, but it take 1 point of
damage each our it is exposes to any light-source stronger than a
candle.
● Darkwood
o Arctic Forests and Underdark/Caves
o Wood items made from this tree's magical wood are half-weight
and masterwork, with shields having +3 AC. Crafting using
Darkwood requires a DC 25 Nature check or training from a
master craftsman.
● Darmanzar Stalk
o Growing as a singular stalk with pairs of leaves sprouting every few
inches, the Darmanzar is covered in small thorns. Touching the
plant without gloves causes small cuts which grow swollen and
irritated, and remain that way for several hours. The top of the
plant sprouts a large bushy bud which is a light gold color. The
bud emits a curious sugary fragrance which seems to irritate and
deter undead and attract the living. Living characters must make
DC 8 Wisdom throw to avoid suffering 1d4 piercing damage and
some very itchy swelling. Undead that wish to approach closer
than 30 feet from the bud must make a DC 8 Wisdom saving
throw.
● Darnell
o Temperate Forests
o These tiny yellow flowers will, if eaten, cause dimness of the sight
for several hours. This dimness means that in full light the
character will see as if on a moonlit night. This herb does effect
those with truesight. Those with darkvision have normal vision
while under these affects.
● Darsurion
o Temperate Plains
o The leaves of Darsurion when applied to a wound will heal 1 hp of
damage if used within 3 rounds. The effect is not cumulative.
● Dathlil
o Arctic, Desert, Temperate, and Tropical Plains and Mountains
o A small white flower that grows close to the ground, and can be
found across much of Faerun. The flower is often picked in spring
and used for decoration among more rural folk. The petals are
often used to combat poison (make another saving throw against
the poison if already under its affects).
● Deadly Nightshade
o Tropical Forests
o This plant can grow up to five feet tall. It has soft green spreading
leaves, and purple flowers and berries. The berries must be left to
stand in water for a week and the distillation drunk. On a failed
save (DC 16 Cons. Save) deadly nightshade will put someone to
sleep for 4d8 hours. They cannot be woken. A roll of 1 will kill
them, a roll of 20 will render them insane.
● Deep Imaskari Waterplant
o Underdark/Caves
o These magical plants are found in every deep imaskari household
or the households of those who don’t normally reside in the
underdark. 2-inch diameter balls of water grow from them every
day and can be carried like oranges, until they are pierced and
drank from.
● Degiik
o Tropical Forests
o Degiik leaves must be given to someone at the point of death (in
the process of making death saving throws). The consumption of
Degiik will count as two successes in the death save process.
● Delrean
o The bark of Delrean should be boiled into a paste and then
smeared on the skin. It will then repel any insect from coming near
the recipient (disadvantage on rolls for initiative from Insectoids),
but the foul stench will reduce their Charisma by 1d2. It is
effective for 5d6 hours.
● Densewood
o Tropical Forests
o Hard and sturdy tree native to tropical locales that, with a nature
check of 20+, can be added into wooden weapons (ie quarterstaves
and the like) to up the tier of dice that the weapon uses for
damage.
● Deva’s Tears
o Temperate Forests and Plains
o A light blue flower that grows on a long rigid stalk covered in small
leaves, the plant is often found in small clearings in wooded areas.
From the flowers a thick sparkling sap is exuded once the plant
reaches sexual maturity. Bees are often attracted to the sap, which
contains miniscule seeds. Many people seek out the sap of the
plant, as it provides some minor restorative aid (Heals for 1d4+1
hit points if consumed within 3 rounds of injury). A person may
gain the benefit of drinking Tears a single time per day, and any
additional ingestion requires the drinker to make a Constitution
save or fall unconscious for 2d4+1 hours. This save is a DC 5, and
increases by 1 each time the drinker has imbibed Deva Tears over
the course of a day.
● Devil’s Crown
o Arctic and Temperate Rivers
o Resembling a cluster of sharp spines that curve upward, the
insidious looking plant grows in rocky, inhospitable climates that
have very little other life. The roots of such plants dig downward
through cracks in stone, and some say that the roots of some of
the older plants reach down into Hell itself. Lore about the plant
states that it was once native to the infernal planes, but a few
hardy seeds were transplanted into some long forgotten wasteland
on Toril, and from there the plant has spread. The plant is quite
resilient and tough, with the spines holding moisture in the form of
a thick red sap that causes nausea and vomiting if ingested. It is
rumored that coating a blade with the sap makes wounds
especially painful for celestial creatures (If applied to weapons, +3
damage against celestials. Additionally, any celestials that take
this damage must make a DC 13 Cons. Save or be Poisoned for
1d4 minutes).
● Devilweed (Wyssin)
o Tropical Plains
o Tobacco-like smoked drug, -1 to Intelligence checks and +2 to
Strength checks for the next 1d6 hours.
● Dittany
o This herb grows six or eight inches high with square stalks and
sort round leaves. The leaves must be dried for two weeks and then
be boiled in ale or wine. It is then applied as a lotion. Dittany can
be used to draw splinter and bone fragments from a wound. It is
also an effective antiseptic for cleaning wounds, and can therefore
prevent infections caused by dirty water etc. (+3 hit points if
applied within 2 rounds of an injury)
● Djin Blossom
o Desert
o Fern native to the harsh conditions of the desert and commonly
found in alchemy and herbalist shops. Wearing one of its petals
grants a +2 bonus on saves against inhaled poisons and gas-based
effects, and a DC 20 nature check allows one to make it into a
perfume that grants a +2 bonus on all charisma-based skill checks
for 24 hours.
● Dog Rose
o The dog rose grows to about ten feet in height and has very sharp
thorns. In spring and early summer it has pale pink flowers which
turn into vivid orange seed pods at the end of summer. These pods
must be dried and then eaten at the rate of one per three days to
avoid scurvy in environments where this disease is common (ie, on
long ocean voyages.) Certain ancient and medieval cultures
believed that placing a dog rose in a coffin would prevent the body
within from rising as undead.
● Draaf
o The leaves of Draaf can be eaten in order to restore 1d4 hit points,
as long as they are eaten within 10 minutes of the damage being
inflicted.
● Dragon’s Breath
o Arctic Mountains
o A stout stalk nearly bare from leaves except near the base, the
plant is covered in fine red hairs that are painful to the touch, as
each hair contains a minute amount of poison. The Red Wizards
have managed to cultivate small amounts of the plant, but
predominantly their supply is harvested from the Hill of Lost Souls.
Commonly used as a tea for victims of frostbite and hypothermia.
The hairs can be collected individually to ferment and increase the
poison’s effectiveness. Those unfortunate enough to come into
contact with the poison must succeed at a Constitution saving
throw, DC 13, or suffer 10 (3d6) poison damage and be poisoned
for 2d6 minutes. If the target succeeds at the saving throw, they
only suffer half damage.
● Dragons-Eye Oak
o Oak native to forests habituated by wood nyphms, whose acorns,
when in the possession of a spellcaster, has a 10% chance of
increasing the damage of evocation spells.
● Dragontears
o Desert
o This rare, small, translucent succulent grows primarily in the low
desert. When crushed, it exudes a sweet, milky white substance
with numbing properties. Properly prepared, dragontears promotes
rapid healing and prevents scarring from wounds. Drinking
dragontears can be fatal, as its numbing properties can cause
choking or heart failure when used incorrectly, but not when used
properly (healing check of 17+, cures 1d8 hit points, always
prevents scarring.)
● Dragontongue Mushrooms
o Underdark/Caves
o The stout stalk of the mushroom is a pale yellow, which transitions
to a dark brown at the top before it splits into six black protrusions
that appear to be spines, but are soft to the touch. While the
mushroom itself isn’t overly poisonous, it can cause hallucinations
if brewed into a tea. Members of the Cult of the Dragon delve into
the Underdark in order to pick the mushroom, so that they may
partake of the hallucinogenic properties. Many of the cultists that
hallucinate claim to hear a gravelly dead voice telling them where
to find the bones of old dragons.
● Dragonwort
o Temperate Rivers
o This plant has a gnarled, erect and cylindrical stem. It has wavy
leaves, dark green on top, bluish green underneath. It has pink
flowers that cluster in a spike at the top of the stem. The root of
this herb should be boiled over a low heat for three days, and the
infusion drunk by people with the plague in order cure some
symptoms or the plague as a whole (60% chance to cure
completely). The value of this herb increases greatly in times of
plague.
● Dungeon Fungus (Dungus)
o Underdark/Caves
o Dungeon Fungus is a bio-luminescent giant mushroom. The
largest specimens stand taller than a man, with caps broad
enough for three to lay comfortably upon it. It only ever grows in
locations that are frequented by oozes, and have bodies to feed
upon. Ingestion of the fungus will cause the ingestor to make a DC
14 Cons. Save vs poison or be violently ill for 3d10 rounds (no
actions but 1/4 move, -4 penalty to AC). Burning the fungus will
produce an intoxicating effect on all those who breathe the fumes.
Anyone under the effects of the fungus' smoke will be much more
likely to regard others as a friend (+2 to rolls to persuade while
under the fumes’ influence), unless they do something particularly
harsh. After 1d4 hours the drug will cause anyone under its
influence to fall into a deep sleep.
● Duskwood
o Black-barked tree that grows 60 ft tall in tightly spaces groves,
featuring small branches and smokey grey wood that's strong as
iron but half the weight. Items crafted from duskwood require
master-craftwork of a nature check of 25+.
● Dwarf Mallow
o Temperate Plains and Mountains
o This small plant has a single primary stem from which other,
shorter stems ending either with leaves or with small pick flowers.
These flowers when crushed and mixed with honey and salt into a
poultice will relieve the pain of bee stings on a successful
application. In addition, the crushed flower may be mixed with oil
and smothered onto the body in which case, no bees will approach
for 1d10+2 hours. At the DMs discretion, this effect may extend to
other small insects.
● Dwarven Oak
o Temperate Forests and Mountains
o Stunted, gnarled tree found on the slopes of temperate mountains
that looks like a sitting Dwarf from a distance. Its bark can be
made into a brown, milky fluid that can be added to poisons up to
1 hour before the poison is used to increase the poison's DC by 2.
E
● Ebur
o The flowers of Ebur must be eaten each day. If the treatment is
successful, the rate of healing for a sprain will be doubled for that
day. In addition, successful application will increase movement
speed by 5 for the day.
● Ecru
o Tropical Plains and Coastal
o Small, red-leaved drooping palm trees that grow no more than 5-
feet tall. The trees produce a small, red, glass-looking growth, as a
result of build-up of the Ecru’s internal resins, called Ecru Crystal,
that can be dissolved in water or alcohol and consumed to induce
a state of blissful relaxation for 1d10 minutes. In addition, during
this time, there is a 25% chance that a spellcaster who consumes
Ecru Crystal will receive a boost of 1d4-1 points to either Wisdom,
Charisma, or Intelligence for a period of 24 hours. In addition,
during this 24 hour period, the consumer’s Dexterity is halved.
● Edram
o Tropical Rivers
o Edram is a moss which when eaten will the consumer to heal at
one and a half times their normal rate (+half the value of recovery
dice used during a short rest).
● Eldaas
o Arctic Mountains
o This tall, blue-flowered plant with spike-shaped leaves is the base
for medicines against nausea, usually taken in the form of a bitter-
smelling and -tasting herbal tea. Eldaas is used to counteract the
nausea associated with hangovers, motion sickness, morning
sickness, and more common illnesses. (Adds + 2 to saves versus
Constitution against poisons or other things that would cause
nausea. Lasts 1d6 hours.)
● Elecampane
o Temperate Plains
o This plant has a thick root, with leaves that are white on the
bottom and green on top, as well as showy yellow flowers. The root
may be eaten in which case it will cause the recipient to vomit.
This effect, while useful in removing ingested poisons from the
system, will leave the recipient weak (- 1d4 to Constitution for 2d6
hours). For this reason it may be used as a mildly debilitating
poison.
● Eldritch Whorlwood
o Tropical Forests
o Tree with a twisted and gnarled grain pattern, and wands made
from the wood retain this property. The wood becomes straight if a
wand or other charged magic item made of Eldritch Whorlwood
expends all its charges (1d4 charges to begin with, regains 1d4-
1charges every day at dawn, contains a built-in cantrip of the spell
Darkness).
● Elven Willow
o Small tree (up to 5 ft tall) with golden-sheen bark that produces
golden buds in the spring. Grows on riverbanks in temperate
areas. Its sap can be made into a Elf Hazel, which fades scars if
applied over the course of a week.
● Elvish Galingale
o Elvish Galingale grows to about four feet in height. It has a
triangular stem on which grows a tuft of grass like flowers. 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.
● Ember Root
o Temperate and Tropical Plains, Forests, Mountains, and Rivers
o A shriveled, coconut-looking plant native to the elemental plane of
fire that grows on solid stone in areas of extremely sunny or hot
conditions in the overworld. The flesh is poisonous, but the core
contains drinkable liquid that never grows hotter than 70 degrees
and one ounce of which equates to one day's worth of water. A
typical ember-root contains 1d4 ounces of liquid.
● Entriste
o Desert and Desert Mountains
o A small-leafed ivy that hugs the ground. Entriste's leaves absorb
liquid and, when crushed, may be used to draw poison from a
wound. (1 leaf absorbs a quarter-pint of liquid. Causes 1d4
damage but draws 100% of poison from a wound if applied within
5 rounds of insinuative poisoning, -25% for each round thereafter.
Does not work against gases or "instant-death" poisons. Most
poison effects are weakened if the poison is at least partially
removed.)
● Entangle Weed
o Temperate and Tropical Rivers and Oceans
o Nigh-invisible (DC 20 spot check to notice from within 10 ft)
seaweed native to large bodies of salt water that forms patches of
about 600 ft diameter. Entering a square with it forces a DC 20
Dexterity save against becoming entangled (Str check to escape DC
15 +1 per failed attempt). Each failed attempt to escape deal 1d6
nonlethal damage and causes fatigue, and taking 60 points of
damage from it causes exhaustion. Instantly wilts when out of
water.
F
● Fairy Bells
o Arctic and Temperate Plains
o A leafy green plant that springs up in clusters, the majority of the
plant is rather uninteresting, save for the violet flowers that seem
to bloom almost year-round. When the wind blows through the
flowers, their seeds rattle around inside and create a curious
ringing sound, much like tiny bells. Many rural children enjoy
picking them and weaving the flowers into their garments, which
then jingle as the run and twirl. There is also a legend that the
sound of the flowers ward away evil spirits, a legend that is
partially true. Any fiend must make a DC 15 Constitution save in
order to approach within 10 feet of the fairy bells or anyone
wearing them.
● Falsifal
o A wide-leafed plant with large pink flowers and thick roots
containing a slimy gel. When the root is pulped, mixed with water
and used as a poultice, it is effective against fresh burns, aiding
rapid healing. The root-gel can also be thinned and drunk as a
thick tea to counter the effects of blood loss. (Regains 1d8 hit
points of fire damage if administered within 4 rounds of taking fire
damage. If used to counter blood-loss, target can add 1d4 to the
health regained from a short rest.)
● Febfendu
o Arctic Forests
o The roots of this plant must be brewed over a low fire for one week,
and the resulting distillation drunk. If used successfully, hearing
will be restored to the recipient, even if the ears and internal parts
have been fully destroyed. Effect lasts for 2d6 days.
● Felmather
o Temperate Coastal
o The leaves of this plant should be placed under the tongue of a
person in a coma. Roll 1d20 upon a successful application, the
person will awake in as many hours. If a roll of 20 is made, the
persons mind will be permanently destroyed and wracked with
insanity.
● Felsul
o A deciduous tree with a flaky brown reddish bark, the trunk and
limbs often grow to be gnarled and twisted. After peeling away the
bark, the trees have a soft wood, which is harvested fresh to
decrease nausea, and to numb the mouth. Orc shaman often
harvest the wood to feed to expectant mothers. The small yellow,
purple, and red flowers which bloom in the spring are crushed to
make a heady, spicy perfume which many claim to be an
aphrodisiac. The perfume grants a +1 bonus on Charisma
(Persuasion) skill checks against men. A sack of the flowers can
fetch anywhere from 5 to 30 gold pieces.
● Fennel
o Temperate Plains
o Fennel has thick stems, and bright green, lacy leaves and routinely
grows to about five feet in height. (There is a rare form which has a
bronze stem. In terms of its use, it is identical to the common
fennel). In summer it has golden, yellow flowers. These flowers
turn to seed in early Autumn. The seed heads must be harvested
and left until the seeds separate from them. The seeds may then be
mixed with boiling water to make a tea. This tea has the effect of
relieving hunger in the recipient for 2d8 hours, However, it does
not in any way act as a substitute for food, and any damage or
exhaustion due to starvation will still occur. Any negative effects of
exhaustion already being felt will evaporate for 1d8 hours.
● Fetherfew
o This herb grows to about 18 inches in height. It has many small
white flowers. The flowers must be dried and then boiled in white
wine. The resulting mixture must be drunk. This herb will remove
the effects of vertigo from a person for up to twelve hours. It does
this by stabilizing the persons inner ear. As a side-effect of
stabilizing the inner ear, the herb also calms the fear centers of the
brain, allowing for the recipient to overcome extreme fear for 2d6
hours.
● Fey Cherry
o Unbelievably massive cherry trees that can live forever. Area under
its canopy is mystically protected, i.e. always temperate and
windspeeds are dampened by 20 mph. It blossoms annually but
only creates cherries every 10 years, and eating a cherry picked
less than a day ago (gentle repose applies) grants a Protection from
Good and Evil effect for 1d10 hours.
● Fire Flower
o Tropical Mountains
o It is suggested that this herb be found in one location on an entire
world, ideally in a Mountain range in a tropical or subtropical
region. This is a small bush which has one pale golden flower and
small red berries with the appearance of a live coal. The flowers of
the bush must be taken and crushed into a diamond vial, and left
to cure for ten years. This is also the amount of time needed for a
single flower to bloom. A single drop of this elixir will heal any
illness or injury, but will not allow limbs or other appendages to
grow back, and is said to return the dead to a state of undeath.
This is an incredibly powerful herb, and is likely to only exist in the
hands of powerful lords and kings.
● Fire Lichen
o Underdark/Caves
o Orange white lichen that growths in warm underground areas. Can
be made into a spicy paste or fiercely hot dwarven whiskey.
● Firethorn
o Arctic Plains
o Often called the Sea Rose, this flower exists almost entirely on the
Island of the Firethorns in the northern Sorlorn Sea. The flower
grows in such numbers that it gives the lower areas of the island a
reddish hue. At night the island faintly glows from a distance due
to a natural property of the flowers, and many that transverse the
Great Sea know of the island’s distant glow. The island is generally
uninhabited because the Firethorns are poisonous (DC 15 Cons.
Save while standing within 45 feet of the flowers and their pollen,
on a failed save take 4d8 poison damage and be poisoned for 1d6
hours), with the exception of the fishing village of Safe Cove, and
the city of Hawa. Inhabitants of both settlements are well aware of
the toxicity of the flowers, and often give them a wide berth.
● Flame Clove
o Tropical Plains
o Garlic with essence of the elemental plane of fire. Mild poison (DC
13 Constitution Save). If boiled in salt water, crushed and added to
food it keep s the food hot for 1d4 days without drying it out.
Adding it to alchemist’s fire doubles the fire damage and doubles
the duration. It matures in 5 weeks and is viable for 3 week
following.
● Flame Petal
o This large flower blooms in the height of summer, unfurling large
red petals, and yellow-tipped orange tendrils which sway in the
faintest of winds to give the illusion that the flower is on fire. As
they often grow in large clumps, at first glance one might even
believe that the ground was on fire. Such flowers are sought to
decorate during Summer Solstice and Midsummer celebrations in
the Dalelands. Young women will wear them in their hair, and they
are said to bring a bountiful crop to any that would plant them
near their front doors (+3 to Nature Checks while wearing the
flower in this manner).
● Fleshshiver
o Tropical Forests
o Ten-colored mushroom that grows in the soil between the roots of
tropical fruit trees. It can be mixed with mud and then added to a
compress that, when applied to the head of a diseased creature,
grants a +2 bonus to Constitution saves against disease for 1 day.
● Fleshwort
o Temperate Plains and Underdark/Caves
o A short plant with grey stalks and olive color fluffy leaves, the
Fleshwort thrives in areas where corpses lay. Often the plant will
be seen on the site of battlefields, or where the dead were quickly
buried. Some healers use the fibrous body of the Fleshwort to
speed the healing process (During a short rest, a character may
add 1d6 to the total amount of hit points recovered.)
● Floure-du-luce (Blue Flag)
o Tropical Forests
o It has broad and flat leaves shaped rather like a sword. The flowers
are purplish blue and the roots which tend to stretch themselves
along the surface of the ground are reddish brown on the outside.
The root must be mashed and boiled in water and left to stand for
at least twenty days before drinking. This herb removes bruises
and other external blemishes from a body very quickly (within 1d4
hours).
● Footleaf
o This 30-cm high plant has 3 thick, fleshy leaves, dark green and
covered with soft hairs. The leaves form a rosette, lying on the
ground, and form the actual plant. The light green blades that
account for its height are actually sheathes from which flower
stalks grow during the summer. From each of the sheathes (there
can be as many as 30 to a plant), a single flower stalk grows with
tiny purple flowers. The thick leaves, which can become as large as
20 cm across, can be torn loose and put inside your boots (One
leaf to a boot), enabling you to walk all day without tiring or even
getting footsore, as well as adding 5 to your movement speed until
the next long rest, at which point, the flower must be replaced.
● Fumitore
o Temperate Forests and Mountains
o The stems of fumitore are angular and branching, and grow to a
height of about 1 foot. It has grey-green divided leaves, and small
pinkish-white flowers with purple tips. This herb prevents hair
growing on a characters eyelids, as is the effect of Mountain
Setwall.
G
● Galda
o Tropical Forests
o A yellowish tree that produces a salty fruit tasting of salt-pork. The
fruit can heal for 1d4-1 hit points.
● Gallowbrush
o This briar is red in colour with bright crimson thorns. Any
mammal pricked with these thorns must make a save vs poison
with a +1 bonus or fall asleep for 1d4+2 x 10 minutes. Even if they
save the victim still feels drowsy. The thorns can also be brewed
into a drink when mixed with water. Anyone drinking this must
make a Cons. Save vs. poison with a -4 penalty or fall asleep for
1d6 hours.
● Gardenflax
o The brown seeds of this herb (which has deep blue flowers) if
chewed remove all pain from a character’s wounds. It will also
prevent a character from feeling anything. He could walk through a
fire and feel no pain. There is a 50% chance per hour that a
character moving normally will suffer 1d4 damage, while under the
influence of this herb. This occurs because the character does not
notice minor bruises or scratches. It was widely believed in
medieval times that if the seeds of this plant were strewn across a
vampire’s path the vampire would be unable to proceed further,
until it had counted every seed. At the DM’s discretion this may be
a use for this herb in campaigns.
● Gariig
o Deserts and Tropical Coastal
o Gariig is a small cactus. It will restore all hit points to a wounded
person if eaten within two days of being harvested.
● Gefnul
o Arctic Mountains
o Gefnul will totally cure and heal the recipient if eaten within one
week of harvesting. However, a 1d20 penalty roll must be made. A
roll of over the recipient’ intelligence will automatically KO, putting
the consumer into a death save scenario, a roll of twenty will kill
the recipient outright.
● Giant Grass
o This grass is 4-8 feet tall, and there's a 4 in 6 chance that
surrounding wild beasts are giant sized. Adventurers will find
chewed grass in piles and clumps near beast lairs. When ingested
as a paste, treat user as if under the enlarging effects of an
Enlarge/Reduce spell for 1d10+1 turns. After this time, the
recipient falls into a deep sleep for 2d6 hours.
● Ginyak Weed
o Temperate Plains and Cities
o A invasive plague on many farmers is the weed that has been
known to choke out large sections of crops if left unchecked. Many
farmers curse the weed, as it has been one of the many factors
that caused famine in recent years. Unfortunately, when burning
the loathsome weed, it produces an acrid stench which lingers in
the air for weeks afterward. Livestock dislike the smell and attempt
to avoid it whenever possible (If burned, anyone in the presence of
the smoke takes a -3 penalty to animal handling checks for 1
week).
● Glowvine
o Temperate Forests and Underdark/Caves
o A morning glory derivative that gives off light as a torch at night. It
grows 1 ft. every 2 weeks. Flowers can be harvested and provide to
same light as a candle for 1d12 hours.
● Goat’s Rue
o This herb will cure poison if ingested within one hour of the
poisoning. Any damage already taken, including death, remains.
Goat's Rue grows to about 3 feet tall. It has hollow branches and
pale whitish blue flowers that hang down in spikes. The flowers
must be dried before use.
● Goblin Rogue
o Medium-sized bush with yellow-orange berries in autumn found in
temperate regions. It can be made into Goblin Ink, which is
waterproof.
● Goblin-Trap
o Often found in clusters, these plants resemble brown leathery
vases sitting on the ground with ragged leaves splayed out around
the base where thick roots grasp the earth. The tops are open, and
if one should peer inside the glint of their golden seeds can be seen
in the interior. However, these plants are traps, and many explorer
has come across the remains of smaller humanoids, their hands
still clutching the golden seed pods. If someone is unwise enough
to stick their hand within the pod, they must make a DC 15
Dexterity save or suffer 1d4 damage from the internal spines of the
plant, and are then grappled. Their leathery surface has an Armor
Class of 11, and to free a trapped arm 10 points of damage must
be inflicted upon the plant. Ripping the plant out of the ground
requires a Strength check, DC 20, and inflicts another 1d4 damage
upon the trapped victim.
● Goblinberry Bush
o Growing in a near desolate area, the small bushes have dark green
leaves that are nearly black, with silver undersides. The bushes
sporadically sprout reddish-purple berries that have a strong
sharp smell that often causes people to gag. Mixing the juice of the
berries with a significant quantity of water and honey makes an
interesting drink that is served sporadically in Evereska and
Baldur’s Gate. The juice can also be used as an astringent, if the
patient can handle the smell.
● Golden Coin Cactus
o Desert and Desert Mountains
o This hardy plant is a large yellow disk standing on end, slightly
bulging in the center, and covered with small red spines. Several
ragged leaves grow from the base of the plant, and the root system
of the cactus reaches deep beneath the rocky soil. The red spines
contain a mild toxin which kills smaller vermin, but provides a
mild anesthetic to small creatures or larger. The nomads of the
Shaarmid steep the spines in hot water to make a tea to sooth sore
throats and pacify infants.
● Golden Crown
o Temperate Forests
o The golden flowers of this small yellow-green plant may be made
into a poultice that is used to stop bleeding. One successful
application will normally stop minor bleeding, or staunch the flow
of major bleeding until it only minor (a second application will stop
the bleeding altogether). This herb is often used by midwives to
staunch the flow of bleeding after birth.
● Golden Desert Tree
o Desert Mountains
o A rare desert tree, whose sap is a vital ingredient in expensive
perfumes and incense. When used by a spellcaster in casting a
summoning spell with a 1 round casting time, it reduces the
casting time to a standard action.
● Golden Lungwort
o Golden lungwort has large oval leaves, covered with small hairs,
and small pale blotches. It grows to a height of about 1 foot, and
has small bell-shaped flowers with five petals which change color
from pink, to mauve to blue. Flowers of different colors are often
found on the same plant. This herb heals the user of all aches and
pains at the cost of -1 to all Intelligence checks for the next 1d10
hours.
● Goldencup
o Arctiv Rivers and Coastal
o Oily yellow moss found where water collects near the bottom of
rocks in the tundra. Can be chewed to induce mild euphoria,
granting a +2 bonus on Wisdom saves vs fear for 30 minutes.
However, upon entering combat while under the effects of
goldencup, a creature must make a DC 10 Constitution save or be
affected by a Frightened effect for the remaining duration.
● Goldenweb
o A quick growing fungus that is often found spread between tree
branches, it appears as a strange lattice similar to spiderwebs.
Light shining through the strands causes them to subtly glow the
color of gold, and the fungus has also been called “Goblin’s Greed”.
While the strands of the fungus are slightly stronger than
spiderwebs, they lack the stickiness that would cause them to
impede or entangle creatures. The fungus works surprisingly well
as an anticoagulant, and is quite absorbent. Healers often seek the
fungus out when attempting to remedy injected toxins, and use of
the fungus grants a +1 bonus to Wisdom (Medicine) skill checks
when used in such a manner.
● Grammax Creeper
o Underdark/Caves
o A flesh colored slime mold, the Grammax slowly spreads through
the Underdark, digesting any organic material in its path. The
mold moves slowly enough that even sleepers have no fear of being
overwhelmed, although corpses that lay in the same place for days
will be overcome. The Grammax also floats on water, often
spreading across the surface of underground puddles and stagnant
lakes, hiding the actual depths. The Grammax reacts rapidly to the
presence of flame or high heat, quickly shrinking away while
expelling any trapped gas. This action of the escaping gas makes
an odd shrieking sound that is akin to the sound a screaming
child makes. While it is a barely palatable prospect, the mold can
actually be consumed as a source of food for those lost and
desperate enough (at the cost of a point of exhaustion). Oddly,
goblins seem to enjoy the taste of the mold, and often scrape it up
to feed to their tribe.
● Gravefist
o Underdark/Caves
o A pale white mushroom with five knobby protrusions, the
mushroom often resembles a skeletal hand reaching upward.
When the mushroom grows in clusters, it appears as if numerous
corpses are attempting to reach out of the soil. The fungus
predominantly grows in the Underdark, however, it has also been
seen in dark basements and root cellars. Several tales of
superstition follow the fungus, many believing that if it appears in
rooms below your house, someone will soon die in the building.
This may be partially due to the fact that the mushrooms release
toxic spores that slowly inflict 4d8 poison damage over 2d8 days to
people afflicted by the poison effect.
● Green-Air Bramble
o Fast-growing creping vine that sprouts green berries. Can grow in
most inhospitable climates and only needs to be in moist soil for 6
hours per week. Exposure to poison quickly kills the plant,
wrinkling leaves and berries. Carrying 3 ft vine grants +2 bonus to
Constitution saves against inhaled poisons, airborne diseases and
nauseating effects like stinking cloud.
● Grim Flowers
o Temperate and Tropical Plains and Cities
o These dark violet flowers are often found at the edges of graveyards
and sites of massive battles. Those that tend gravesites often call
them “Death Trumpets” for their shape, and they emit a smell
similar to that of a corpse. Thus, when such flowers are noticed,
they are often pulled up by the root, to remove such an unpleasant
odor. However, despite their terrible odor, it is believed by followers
of Kelemvor and Bane that should you die with the seeds of this
plant in your possession, your spirit will find an easier path to the
afterlife. Thus, many keep the seeds of such a flower in a cloth bag
close to their chest. Unfortunately for others, this means that the
flowers often sprout from the corpse several days after the death of
such individuals.
● Guardseye
o Arctic Mountains
o This 40-cm high perennial has smooth, dark blue leaves and a
woody stem. It has white, cuplike flowers, with purple flecks on the
inside. In autumn, the plant dies except for a thick root than can
be up to 50 cm long, but even dead, it does not shed its leaves.
When cooked in water, the resulting tea will grant the drinker the
ability to detect all life forms within 500 m. This includes hidden,
invisible, phased, ethereal and similarly affected creatures. The
effect last for fully 6 hours.
● Guklulla
o Tropical Swamps
o Growing in the swamps, the plant appears to be little more than a
pair of large, broad leaves floating on the surface of the stagnant
water. During warmer months, a large yellow flower blossoms in
the midst of the two leaves. Hidden beneath the surface, the plant
has an extensive root system that reaches far down into the muck,
a massive tangle that catches other debris that is carried along by
the slow current. Various species of fish and snakes lay their eggs
in the tangle of roots. Various orc tribes harvest the Guklulla for
the roots, pulling the plants out of the muck, cutting off sections of
the roots and throwing them back into the swamp to be harvested
again in the future. Grinding the root into a paste and applying it
to wounds provides not only accelerated healing (+4 when using hit
dice during a short rest. If the recipient of the healing is an orc or
half-orc, they receive an additional 1d4 hit points.), but also
numbs the affected area.
● Gulthias Tree
o A severely evil tree that came to be when a vampire was staked to
the ground with a stake that was still green and took root. Undead
typically flock to the singular tree located somewhere in a dark
corner of the largest forest of Faerun, and seem to gain some form
of power from it. (Can be used as a storypoint or worldbuilder for
DM’s).
● Gylvir
o Arctic and Temperate Oceans
o This is an algae. When eaten it allows a person to breathe
underwater (and only underwater!) for a period of four hours.
● Gyumin Beans
o A small plant that grows close to the ground, the stalks are a
mottled green color, and the soft oval leaves grow in small clumps.
During harvest time, the plants are laden with several long pods
filled with up to a dozen light brown beans. Farmers often grow the
beans alongside rows of corn, as the plants seem to complement
one another. The beans are often either eaten cooked, or ground
into a fine paste and eaten with bread. Several restaurants and
taverns across Faerun are known for their particular methods of
preparing Gyumin Paste.
H
● Haella
o Growing in clumps, these tall purple flowers are often planted in
tranquil gardens and are commonly seen on gently rolling fields.
The stalks bear symmetrical pairs of long tapered leaves with
purple veins. Farmers dislike the plants because they tend to
choke out food crops, such as corn. The flowers emit a subtle and
sweet fragrance which not only smells nice, but also is a repellant
to certain predatory insects, such as mosquitoes and dragonflies.
Those that can afford to pay for it often rub Haella Fragrance on
their unprotected skin during warmer months to repel such vermin
(-5 to rolls for initiative for Insectoids).
● Halcyon Crocus
o Arctic Mountains
o In the highland meadows of the Dalelands grows a pale white-
silver crocus. By starlight, nectar can be harvested from its simple
bloom and dried into snuff that engulfs the user in bittersweet
recollections of yore. With each dose of the Halcyon Snuff the user
remembers a spell forgotten, effectively allowing him or her to cast
it again without expending a spell slot. However, other memories
linger uninvited to forever haunt and burden the user of this drug.
Each dose inflicts 2d8 psychic damage after the initial effect.
● Halfling Thistle
o Small hardy thistle with a violet flower that grows in all
temperature areas, especially highlands. It can be made into
Shinewater, which removes all rust and corrosion from metal
objects left to soak in it overnight. One dose re-rusts a medium-
sized metal weapon.
● Hands of Laretha
o Tropical Forests and Plains
o Stems of bright green hold jagged leaves that grow in clusters of
three. The plant grows delicate yellow flowers that smell pleasant,
with the smell often drifting in the breeze on warm summer nights.
The golden flowers that blossom from the plant grow to resemble a
pair of hands pressed together. A common belief is that the flower
resembled the hands of Laretha, a young cleric of Tymora, while
she prayed to the gods to save her from misfortune at the hands of
a horde of bandits. Her prayers were answered by the arrival of a
group of adventurers. Afterward the flowers appeared near her
shrine, a sign that the goddess was looking over her. Commonly
used by paladins and clerics, the flowers grant a +3 to any religion
checks when worn as a crown or behind the ear.
● Hangman Tree
o A deciduous tree named for the noose-like ropy appendages that
hang down from the branches, the trees are known to entrap the
unwary. Their shallow roots and sparse leaves require the tree to
seek nutrition through being carnivorous. The main body of the
trunk has a hollow tube containing a digestive acid. The ropy
appendages drag trapped prey upward and drops them inside the
opening. The opening is surrounded by a number of downward
facing spines which make escape difficult. Due to the shallow
roots, the trees may move at a glacial pace, allowing most prey to
easily outrun them. However, the trees rely upon a perfume their
leaves emit that causes hallucinations to lure potential victims
closer. Upon an encounter, PC’s must make a DC 14 Wisdom Save
or be lured in to the tree’s appendages. The character must then
make a DC 15 Strength or Dexterity save to avoid taking 8d6 acid
damage. Tree can be attacked as well:
▪ AC: 12
▪ Hit Points: 172 (15d12+80)
▪ Speed: 1 ft.
▪ STR: 20 DEX: 6 CON: 20 INT: 3 WIS: 6 CHA: 4
▪ Damage Resistance: Bludgeoning, piercing
▪ Damage Vulnerabilities: Fire
▪ Condition Immunities: Blinded, deafened, frightened,
exhaustion
▪ Senses: Blindsight 90 ft., passive perception 8
▪ CR: 8
▪ Actions:
● Multiattack: The hangman tree may make three
constrict attacks per turn.
● Constrict: Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft.,
one target. Hit: 11 (1d4+5) bludgeoning damage, and a
Large or smaller target is grappled (escape DC 16).
● Hare’s Ear
o Arctic Plains and Mountains
o A small, leafy plant growing to approximately 1 foot or shorter,
with large lobed leaves resembling the erect ears of a hare. This
herb cures skin diseases.
● Harfy
o Temperate Rivers and Coastal
o A small brown, woody reed with symmetrical pairs of small ivy
shaped leaves along the bottom of the reed. The resin of this herb
must be applied to a bleeding wound. It will immediately stop any
bleeding.
● Harpy Nest
o Arctic and Tropical Forests
o The mottled trunk of these trees are often seen growing in rocky
soil. The upper limbs of the tree curve inward upon the trunk, and
become a large tangled mass. Various flying creatures,
predominantly harpies, often cultivate the top of the tree, tearing
away enough limbs in the center to form a protective nest. From
the ground it is difficult to notice any creatures dwelling among the
tangles, allowing cunning creatures to dive down and ambush
their prey. The massive roots of the tree, while edible, are tough
and require several hours of soaking in boiling water. Once
prepared properly, the taste is said to be similar to salted potatoes.
● Hart’s Crown
o This odd bush grows in deep forests, where men often fear to tread
because of dark and wild fey creatures. The bush grows strong
curved branches that resemble the antlers of a deer, and in their
center, they grow a single purple flower. Legend has it that the
plant was originally created to help combat the Unseelie fey, ages
ago. However, through trickery and guile, the dark fey managed to
destroy many of the plants not in their possession, or not hidden
deep within their realms. The flower can be consumed for two main
purposes: often sought out by those undertaking a vow of celibacy,
consumption of the flower reduces libido for 2d6 days. In addition,
the consumption of the flower hides the recipient from being
tracked by fey for the same period of time.
● Hathil
o Tropical Swamps
o A dark green and red-veined leafy, floating plant native to the
Shadow Marsh, which when used as a consumed by a spellcaster,
has a 40% chance of increasing the DC of a cast spell by 1.
● Hawkweed
o This herb increases a character eyesight for 1d4 hours. They can
see twice as far, granting +3 on perception checks involving sight,
and when in ballistic combat, all ranges are treated as if 20 feet
less. Hawkweed has oval leaves, covered with small hairs on the
underside, and green on the top. These leaves surround the plant
at the base of the stem, and small yellow flowers tinged with red at
the tips.
● Healing Apple Tree
o A magically bred medium-sized apple tree that bears red fruits that
heal like Goodberries (eating an apple restores 1 hit point and
counts as a full meal). A tree produces 100 apples per season.
● Healwell
o Arctic, Temperate, and Tropical Plains and Cities
o A common enough herb to make it into most gardens, healwell is a
small flowering plant with bright yellow flowers. Its pale green
leaves secrete an oil that can be rubbed on small injuries (can be
used to heal for injuries that have caused small amounts of
damage, less than 3 hit points at a time).
● Helmthorne
o Arctic Mountains
o A vine-like shrub, often growing in remote and desolate locations,
the shrub has dark green leaves, and sprouts indigo colored
berries. The shrub is named due to long black thorns that protect
the plant from various foraging animals. The berries are often
harvested to be eaten, or can be fermented to make Helmthorn
Wine. On occasion a plant will produce red berries, which are seen
as a symbol of good luck, and make a slightly sweeter vintage of
wine. The wine is considered sacred to many practicing clerics
(capable of restoring an expended spell slot for a cleric that
consumes the wine) and the berries can be affected by the spell
Goodberry, and will instead restore 2 hit points per berry and last
for an additional day.
● Henbane
o This herb will reduce the effects of poison weapons and consumed
poison, but only if taken before the weapon strikes or the poison is
consumed. In the case of non-fatal poisons, the effect is completely
nullified, but in the case of fatal poisons, the only benefit is a +3 to
Saving Throws. Henbane has large, thick, soft woolly leaves, and
thick stalks about 2 to 3 feet tall. It has hollow pale yellow flowers
at the top of the stalk. Either the seed or the flowers must be dried
and then eaten. The effect last 1d8 hours.
● Hiexel
o Arctic Forests
o This tree has silvery-green bark covering a sparse collection of
branches which curve upward to support vibrantly green leaves
which turn dark red in autumn. The wood is an odd hue of green,
and unfortunately not dense enough to be useful in construction.
However, burning the wood creates a large quantity of smoke,
which is often used to smoke meat or to create signal fires (or to
create clouds of smoke that can be used for escape and
distraction). The bark is useful after rendering it down to create a
thick green paste which is often sought after to seal buildings
against the cold winds of winter.
● Hiljirat Pepper
o A small plant that has many branches, each which end in a single
triangular leaf, the peppers that also grow on the plant are much
sought after for their spice. The peppers are either dried or ground
into powder after being picked, allowing them to be shipped afar
with little chance of spoilage. The wealthy of the cities of the Sword
Coast enjoy the taste of the peppers, and several sailing merchants
pay exorbitant amounts to have the peppers harvested and
shipped.
● Hoggle Beans
o Arctic Plains
o A single leafy stalk with a tough exterior that grows in gentle
rolling fields of the Dalelands, the plant produces numerous pods
upon reaching maturity. Within each pod are small pink beans,
each one almost perfectly spherical. Most large herbivores, such as
cattle and goats, avoid the plant, as it has a detrimental effect.
Herbalists and healers often seek the plant out because the beans
are a strong laxative, requiring a DC 15 Consitution saving throw
after being ingested to avoid the unpleasant effects.
● Horehound
o Temperate Rivers and Plains
o This plant has angular greyish stems and grows to a height of
three feet. It has oval shaped tooth edged, ash green leaves. It has
small creamy white flowers which group at the base of the leaves.
This herb will cause the recipient to vomit up any poison in their
system. It is effective only against ingested poisons. The person will
be incapacitated by nausea for 1-3 days. In the case of an ìnstant
death' poison, the person can be saved if the herb is successfully
administered within one round, but they will be incapacitated for
the full three-day period.
● Horseweed
o This 25-cm high plant has many broad, double sawed leaves
growing in a rosette. It grows large, yellow composite flowers,
which will quickly grow hairy seeds that will fly far on the wind.
The plant often has flowers and seed simultaneously. If a generous
amount of the leaves is fed to a horse or similar creature, it will be
able to travel all day without tiring, even if moving at a gallop.
I
● Iazutl
o Growing in clusters, the flower has a long stalk, which has a single
oval leaf at the very top of the plant. The leaf points toward the
rising sun, and blows in anything more than a light breeze. During
warmer months, the plant blossoms numerous small crimson
flowers. Those that venerate Kiltzi speak tales of the Iazutl flower.
One tale speaks of the plant growing singularly, and without
flowers, and when Kiltzi noticed the plant was all alone, she wept.
Her tears caused several similar plants to grow in the area, and as
an expression of their love for her, they sprouted an abundance of
flowers. Lovers often gift the flowers to one another, as a sign of
their affection. The flowers are also typically presented to the bride
by the groom on the night before the wedding in Sword Coast
wedding ceremonies.
● Ice Lotus
o Arctic Plains, Forests, and Mountains
o Solitary, translucent blue-white flower found in cold environments
that can be made into Icewalker tincture, which is a blue liquid
that grants the Ice Walking ability (instead of using swimming
movement, the character may walk across bodies of water, with the
water below their feet turning to solid ice) for 1d4 hours.
● Iceflower
o Arctic Mountains
o A short plant, the stalk bears a number of feathery leaves, and a
single flower blooms, bearing shades of blue. The plant is only seen
in areas of abundant snow, and oddly seems to thrive where other
plants would perish. The plant is only seen during the summer
months, when there is considerable sunlight, and in winter
months it withers and dies. Beneath the surface of the snow, the
iceflower has an extensive root system that quickly grows. The
roots are durable enough that some of the northern tribes will dig
up the roots to serve as a foundation for a roof over small circular
huts. In addition, some nomadic tribes of the Dalelands have
found that by placing iceflower roots under the armor, they will be
immune to overheating and gain +1 AC.
● Ipt (Roanwood)
o Tropical Forests
o Trees, commonly used in wand and magestaff construction, that
grow upwards of 100 feet tall.
● Ironhard
o Temperate Forests
o This 2-foot-high plant has dark blue leaves with a thick white hair
growth on the underside. It grows all summer and the first half of
autumn, and has many small yellow 6 leaved flowers. The plant
has a milky white sap, which can be rubbed onto the skin,
hardening it and granting a +1 AC bonus for one hour.
● Ironvine
o Underdark/Caves
o A type of Underdark vine that is as hard as iron. Always found
interwoven into a thick curtain that blocks passage in
underground caves and passageways.
J
● Jabberweed
o Tropical Forests and Rivers
o Tenacious and ugly root-plant native to jungle environs that looks
like a pocked, multi-digit skeletal hand with lots of holes in it that
cause a low missing sound audible to 100 ft (DC 15 listen to notice
sound and direction) that imposes a -4 penalty to other listen
checks (for the party and against the party). If kept wrapped in
moist cloth it survives for 1 week away from pandemonium, but
DC 18 Nature check can keep it alive for another week.
● Jaffray
o A clove-like herb that is normally ground up and sprinkled into
other dishes or drinks as flavoring, Jaffray also acts as a mild
aphrodisiac, increasing sexual interest and general sensitivity to
the surroundings. Face flushes, pupils dilate, breathing quickens,
and skin becomes preternaturally sensitive. The herb has a mildly
cinnamon-like flavor and its potency is not affected by being
cooked. The herb is also sometimes used to counteract suspected
poisoning, since it increases resistance to poison yet is so common
as to be inoffensive if added to a meal. (-2 to Wisdom checks, +2 to
Constitution Saves, +1 to Persuasion checks, causes mild,
pleasant sense of intoxication. Effects last 1d4 hours.)
● Jalap
o Tropical Forests
o A light violet vine that grows around trees, and can often be found
amidst ruins. The vine produces large, heart shaped petals, and
purple flowers with five petals. Young women often pick the flowers
to wear in their hair, and several religious ceremonies require a
carpet of jalap flowers. Shaman often use a poultice made of
ground jalap to draw the venom out of venomous snake bites.
Application of the poultice grants an additional saving throw
against the effects of snake venom.
● Jinab
o Tropical Forests
o The dark chocolate-brown bark of this small fast growing tree, may
be eaten in order to allow a person to remain awake for one whole
week, without the need for sleep. At the end of this period, they will
collapse, absolutely exhausted for four days, and will capable of
only half movement for a further week after that.
● Jojojopo
o Arctic Rivers
o The leaf of this pale blue-green, fuzzy herb is commonly applied to
frostbite. If applied within 3 turns of taking frost damage, proper
application of the herb will cure 2d6 points of frost damage.
● Juniper
o Arctic and Temperate Forests, Plains, and Cities
o 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 status effects
temporarily (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
DM’s discretion.
K
● Kaitlin’s Weed
o Tropical Plains
o A short leafy stalk that grows fine red hairs along the prominent
bud, it is often mistaken for the taller Dragon’s Breath. Those well
versed in herbalism also know that the weed can be used to create
a balm which soothes sunburn, and helps alleviate the pain from
other burns (if applied within 2 turns of taking fire damage,
capable of healing 2d4 fire damage). Many seeking to traverse the
desert of Netheril often procure quanities of the balm before setting
out on their journeys, and the Bedine tribes often make use of the
soothing qualities of the weed.
● Kanishta
o Arctic Plains and Forests
o A short plant that grows in tendrils across the ground sprouing
broad fluffy leaves, the Kanishta thrives in the cold environment.
Growing beneath the ground is a thick, dark-colored root.
Although it is extremely bitter tasting, chewing on the root
provides temporary relief from the cold weather. Those that chew it
express a feeling of warmth passing through their body, and a
sense of renewed strength (resistance to cold/frost damage, and +
to Str. Checks for the next 1d6 hours).
● Karcatta Brambles
o Desert Mountains
o Growing in deep ravines and shadowy places of the desert, the
brambles grow along the ground, rarely achieving waist height. The
stems are covered in long, spiny thorns, and the plant grows wide
leaves close to the ground. In the cooler months the plant
blossoms with flowers of various colors. The leaves, once dried, are
often smoked by nomadic tribes during religious rituals. The dried
leaves are rolled together and lit, or used as incense. Those that
inhale the smoke have auditory hallucinations, often of
imperceptible whispers, although some are capable of discerning
what is being said and declare that it is the voice of the divine
giving them directions.
● Kathkusa
o Arctic Mountains
o This plant is found only in the most inhospitable regions. When a
leaf of the plant is eaten, it will (if used successfully) raise a
person’s strength +2 (or 20 percentage points in the case of
exceptional strength) for 1d10 rounds. However, if the nature
check is failed by more than three, the plant was prepared
incorrectly, and the person will collapse into unconsciousness for
one hour.
● Kelventari
o Desert
o If the crushed Kelventari berries are applied to a burn within one
turn on its infliction it will heal 1d4 quarters of all damage caused
by the burn, no matter how much damage was taken.
● Kieros
o A small, purple, ground-cover herb native to the understory of
forests that are fully blocked from the light, whose leaves can be
used as a basis for necromancy school magic, and has a 40%
chance of increasing the DC of a spell by +2.
● Kilmakur
o Tropical Forests
o The roots of this plant must be brewed over a low fire for one week,
and the resulting distillation drunk. If used successfully, the
recipient will gain a bonus of +2 to all saving throws versus fire
based attacks for 1d10 hours.
● Kingsfruit
o Temperate Forests
o The bark of this tree is smooth, and a rich brown in color while the
soft leaves are oval shaped and grow in small clusters. During the
warmer months, small violet flowers grow from the tree. During the
autumn months, the tree produces a dark brown fruit with a tough
exterior. The fruit has an extremely hard rind, and require a blow
from a hammer to open. Striking either end of the fruit causes the
rind to cleanly split into six equal parts. The inside of the fruit is a
shade of golden yellow, and is quite sweet. Eating the fruit restores
hit points equal to two of your hit dice and restores any expended
hit dice from short rests.
● Kinuka Tree
o Temperate and tropical Swamps and Forests
o The twisting trunk spawns many long branches that reach out to
provide a canopy. During most of the year the tree bears a
multitude of feathery red leaves that turn purple in the fall. In the
spring the tree is punctuated by small clusters of white flowers.
The flowers are said to carry luck with them, and many young
women hoping to become brides wear them in their hair.
● Kiss of Discord (Lusiri Blossom)
o Temperate Plains
o Herb with dull red leaves that resemble lips. Ingestion causes 1d4
hours of hallucinations and the feeling that you must now go on a
spirit quest. You feel pulled toward a far-off destination.
● Klagul
o Resembling a small tree, growing no more than 2 feet tall, the
springtime buds of this plant must be boiled for a day and then
eaten. After boiling they will keep for six weeks. When eaten, they
will if successful give the recipient truesight for six hours.
● Korogg
o Underdark/Caves
o Korogg is a rare underdark fungus that typically grows on the
corpses of dead miners and dwarves who aren’t properly buried.
Black, bulbous bodies with fine black mycelia produce a fungal
fruit called Korogg Pods, which can then be reduced to their juice
and distilled. This rich liquor is sought after for its taste and smell.
When a character encounters Korogg Liquor, they must make a DC
14 Wisdom save or imbibe the liquid. The liquor quells
freethinking: no person who drinks it need make an Investigation
check while under its influence for the duration of a day, as the
result will incur a -8 penalty since they can’t think of anything
their investigation might mean, and the consumer takes a -1d6
penalty to wisdom checks after consumption until the next long
rest.
● Krakaem Pods
o Tropical Swamps and Forests
o Growing off of tree branches, at first inspection this fungus
appears to be the cocoon of an insect. The fungus is intrusive,
sending tendrils into the tree branches and stealing water reserves.
Sporadically another pod will emerge from the tree branch, swell to
the size of a human fist, and then burst, sending a cloud of black
spores floating on the wind. The spores are a severe irritant and
may even cause temporary blindness if a large mass of spores get
into the eyes of a creature (DC 12 Constitution Save if within 15
feet of the tree). The pods are also sought after for food, as frying
them in oil and serving them with fish is a delicacy served in
Waterdeep.
● Kylathar (Changeberry)
o 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 DM 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
meters 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.
L
● Laishaberries (Fruit of Silence)
o Laishaberries 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.
● Lakeleaf
o Parsley like herb descended from plants growing on the shores of
the river Oceanus. If crushed and rubbed onto meat, that meat
never dries out regardless of how overcooked. If used as a
component for casting Gentle Repose, it double the duration (does
not stack with extend spell). Matures in 14 weeks and remains
viable for 5 weeks after.
● Land Caltrops
o Tropical Forests
o If applied to a venemous bite within one turn, it will draw out the
poison. Some very venomous snakes give bites that are incurable
by this method, and so the herb has no effect against ìnstant
death' poisons. It may (at the GMs discretion) provide protection
against other, non- fatal animal poisons.)
● Larnurma
o This tree has round purple fruit, which are about the size and
consistency of plums. When eaten this fruit will heal 2 hp per fruit.
These fruits cannot be dried and will rot within two weeks of
picking. However, the juice of three fruits can be mixed with olive
(or other vegetable) oil, and left to stand for a week. This oil has an
almost unlimited life. Rubbing this oil into the recipient’s skin will
ease muscle pains, and also restore 1d4 hit points.
● Laspar
o Arctic Forests
o A squat evergreen tree with dusty green bark, and olive green
needles that grow in clusters, most people avoided burning the
wood of the tree. Setting the wood ablaze resulted in a large
number of sparks, which potentially could set houses ablaze, due
to the high amount of pitch contained within the wood. The
needles, which grow in “shags” at the end of each branch, are often
used in torches. The needles are also often burned simply for the
deep piney aroma they provide.
● Latimer Orchid
o A yellow-orange orchid flower commonly farmed and sold illegally.
The pollen of the flower can be turns into a sticky, rich-smelling
powder that can be applied to the gums and tongue. When
consumed, it brings about a mild hallucinatory state, wherein the
recipient's capacity for visualization and imagination are increased.
The powder is used recreationally by many, including by those of
an artistic bent, but it is members of the Illusion school who
benefit most from its effects. Due to the greater precision and
depth of imagination produced, all illusions created by one under
the influence of the yellow powder gain a +1 to attacks and
damage. The yellow powder is not addictive, but it can lead to a
detrimental state of internalization and paranoia. Any session
where a character uses the yellow powder, he must make a
Wisdom check on 1d20. A roll of above his Wisdom score results in
a 25% chance of an episode of paranoia some time during the
session (at the DM's discretion).
● Laumspur
o This is a green plant with small red flower, which are renowned for
their healing properties. These flowers can be eaten fresh or dried
for later use. If not dried they will become useless within 1 week.
The flowers can also be brewed over a very low heat in fresh water
to produce a `potion', which can be drunk for its healing effect.
When consumed, the herb will, on a successful herbalism check,
heal 6 damage with fresh leaves, 4 hit points using dry leaves, and
6 - 8 hit points using the brew.
● Leopard’s Bane
o Tropical Forests
o This is a poison that kills animals (but not monsters) that eat it,
but has no effect on humanoids, demi-humans or humans.
● Lesser Centaury
o This plant has rosy-pink flowers, which are splayed out like a five-
pointed star. These flowers if eaten within one day of being picked
will cause the recipient to vomit up any ingested poison within
their body. The person will remain very weak for 1d3 days, can
only move with great difficulty and is totally unable to perform any
useful actions.
● Lichbriar
o Tropical Plains
o Bougainvillea-looking pants that clings to any surface and grows
up to 50-ft in ideal conditions. It has poisons thorns (DC 14
Constitution Save or take -1 to Str. and -1 to Dex. until cured) and
subsists by growing roots into living creatures and slowly draining
their hit points and experience until they die.
● Light of Mystra
o Underdark/Caves
o Small mushrooms with thick heads, the skin is a pale blue color,
and the head is often covered in small off-color bumps. In the
darkness, the mushrooms glow, attracting creatures to consume
the fungus. Within the bumps of the cap, the mushroom holds a
dense collection of spores. After digesting and passing the
mushroom, the spores begin to sprout. The glow of the mushrooms
is slightly magical, and casing Detect Magic reveals a pale aura of
illusion magic, illusion that causes people to believe that they’re
much tastier than they actually are. Some say that the mushroom
was blessed by Mystra, to help her followers find their way out of
the Underdark.
● Lish
o Tropical Plains
o Small tree, which grows dozens of small nuts in the spring in
temperate forests. A handful of the nuts sustains a medium
creature for a day. Eating a Lish Nut as a full-round action
provides limited protection from vermin, which must succeed a DC
11 Constitution save or becoming sickened for 2d4 rounds after
touching/attacking the creature exuding the nut's odor.
● Livewood
o Highly magical green-colored tree native to Elven Forests of Faerun
whose wood remains alive when felled. Items made from it are
affected by Plant Growth, sprouting small branches and leaves,
while Speak with Plants allows one to communicate with them and
Blight damages them as if they were plant creatures. Livewood
items can also be used for Tree Stride, Animate Plants can animate
a Livewood object, and Dryads can live in Livewood objects. As a
living object, a Livewood items are immune to the Disintegrate
spell. Crafting items made from Livewood requires special training
from a druid or dryad, and a successful nature check.
● Lizard Eaters
o Tropical Plains and Cities
o A hardy vine that seems to grow in the nooks and crannies of
stones, and can often be found in older cities or in ruins. The vine
rapidly grows along the crevasses provided by mortar, and every
few feet a small yellow flower sprouts from the vine, surrounded by
a handful of apparently errant tendrils. These flowers smell very
faintly like rotting meat, which is used to attract vermin such as
small lizards and rats. When the vermin begin to eat the flower, the
tendrils quickly close around the creature, slowly constricting and
choking the life from the creature. This feature causes many urban
dwelling folks to not only tolerate the presence of the vine, but to
also encourage such growth.
● Locust Needle
o Temperate Forests and Coastal
o A short stubby tree covered in long thorns, the bark is a light
brown, and the leaves are a vibrant green tinged with gold. The
leaves of the plant are quite edible and known to help prevent
scurvy. Some pirate crews use the trunks of the tree to make crude
morning-stars, while others harvest the thorns to use as
improvised tattoo needles.
● Luhix
o Wound-powder drug, made from stalks of Abyssal plants. Initial 1
point bonus to all ability scores along with intense pain for 1d8
minutes. Second use grants a +2 bonus to all ability scores and
excruciating pain that causes disadvantage on checks and saves of
all kinds for 2d8 minutes. Third use causes the possibility of
addiction (DC 20 Constitution Save) and a -3 to all ability scores
and pain that renders the user incapable of doing anything and
lowers movement speed to 1 foot for 3d8 hours. As long as the user
is addicted and does not have access to more Luhix, they will take
a -5 penalty to all checks and movement speed will be halved as
they are too lethargic to do anything of importance.
● Lungwort
o Temperate Rivers
o This plant has broad leaves covered with dark spots, resembling
diseased lungs. It is used in the treatment of diseased lungs, by
boiling the leaves and drinking the infusion. The effect of a
successful treatment is to render breathing easier and to clear
fluids from the lungs caused by a whole array of diseases -
pneumonia and tuberculosis to name but two. It does not actually
cure the disease, but merely relieves the symptoms. With some
diseases that alone can be the difference between life and death.
● Luurden (Bloodfruit)
o Tropical Forests
o A magic-dependent pale, gnarled tree that looks dead except for a
short period every 3 to 4 years where it produces bitter red fruit
that can be made into the wine. The fruit, called bloodfruit, is a
deep scarlet red and bleeds a sweet citrusy juice when cut into.
The wine can be used in combination with bloodkeep to create a
tincture that heals for 2d4 + the nature modifier of the character
who creates the potion.
M
● Maiden’s Hair (Earthsilk)
o Arctic and Temperate Forests and Underdark/Caves
o An odd mushroom cultivated by dwarves for the silken tendrils
that hang from it and collect moisture. These tendrils are tough
and time-consuming to harvest, but they can be made into yarn
that can create a very touch silk that make tough rope and shirts
or woven into existing armor that then grants extra resistance to
bludgeoning and slashing, although the fabric can be torn by a
piercing damage critical hit, at which point it loses its properties
until repaired. Crafting with Maiden’s Hair requires a DC Nature
Check of 25+ or consultation with a Dwarven master craftsman.
● Makebate
o This herb will counteract the poison of scorpions if taken within 2
turns of the sting. Any damage, including death, already taken will
remain.
● Mallow
o A tall plant with many star shaped leaves sprouting from the main
stalk, the mallow plant is notable for the large five petal white
flowers. Several tribes use the flowers for decoration, especially
during fertility ceremonies. The Azuposi people brew a tea from the
plant, said to ward away any “evil spirits” (Those that drink the tea
gain Advantage on any saving throw meant to resist mind control
or possession until the next short rest.).
● Mandrake
o Tropical Forests
o The root of this herb sends the recipient to sleep. The sleep will
last 15 hours, during which time the person cannot be woken
except by a Protection from Poison spell or potion. The root is said
to bear a resemblance to the naked male form, hence its name. The
plant has several dark green leaves which are about 1-foot long.
The purple flowers of the plant are bell shaped. The root of the
plant must be boiled on the night of a full moon and left to sit for
an entire month before use. According to Ancient Egyptian legend,
the sun god, Ra, sent Mathor to earth to punish mankind.
Mathor's slaughter was so intense, that Ra took pity on man, and
forced Mathor to drink the blood of his victims mixed with
Mandrake root. He fell asleep and when he awoke was unable to
remember why he had come to earth, and so the slaughter was
ended.
● Maraga Flowers
o Tropical Plains and Forests
o Growing as a small bush with broad, heart shaped leaves, the
plant also grows vibrant red and violet flowers. The bush also
emits an enticing scent that almost overpowers the smell of the
plant’s decaying prey. The insides of the flowers are lined with a
number of sharp thorns, and each flower is capable of spraying a
paralytic poison at potential prey (DC 15 Cons. Save if within 5 feet
of the plant or suffer 3d6 poison damage. If the target creature fails
the saving throw by 5 or more, they are Paralyzed for 1d4 hours).
Once the prey falls to the ground, the bush is capable of slowly
moving due to having shallow roots, and entangling the paralyzed
creature. The root system slowly crushes the prey, and the bush
feeds upon the nutrients as the body decays.
● Marigold
o Marigold can grow to a height of two feet and has rows of flat
orange and yellow petals around a central disc. These flowers must
be dried and then mixed with olive or other vegetable oil to produce
a soothing balm which will soothe and clean small wounds, in
order to prevent infection. As a side effect, the marigold has a
slightly musky scent that attracts beasts, and grants a +2 to
Animal Handling checks for 1d8 hours.
● Marisia
o Temperate Plains
o A small, gnarled tree found in temperate plain environments with
bright pink leaves, the leaves are commonly ground into a drug
well-known amongst spellcasters called Memory Dust. Taken as a
snuff, the dust gives a magic-user the ability to memorize a single
spell of the level above his normal maximum (for example, a 1st
level magic-user could memorize a single 2nd level spell) until the
next long rest. The dust is highly addictive. After every session in
which a magic-user has made use of the dust, he must make a
Wis. check on 1d20. If the roll results in a number higher than his
Wis. score, the character will do everything he can to use the dust
again in the next session, paying sometimes exorbitant prices. A
roll of 20 indicates that the character's tolerance for the dust has
increased, and from now on he must consume twice the quantity
to achieve the same effect.
● Marjoram
o This herb removes the color from the skin of a person who has had
yellow jaundice. The herb has angular stems which grow to a
height of 1 to 2 feet, which are reddish in color and are covered in
small hairs. It has ovate shaped leaves which surround the stem
and grow smaller and smaller towards the top of the plant. It is
topped by pale pink flowers. The herb prevents the spread of some
disease as well.
● Marsh Maw
o Lurking beneath the stagnant water, waits a plant made of veiny
tendrils looking to fill a spine filled maw. When unsuspecting prey
wanders nearby, the tendrils snake around flailing limbs, dragging
it into the maw. The plant slowly submerges back beneath the
surface, crushing the prey caught within its grasp. The Marsh Maw
is a danger that dwells within shallow swamps, using the brackish
water as camouflage. The plant has a deep root system that goes
deep, holding the monstrosity in place. The Maw often lurks at the
edges of the swamp, near where herd animals come to drink. More
than a few unlucky shepherds have lost members of their flock to

● Marshmallow
o Temperate and Tropical Swamps and Rivers
o This plant has a green fleshy stem and broad egg-shaped leaves,
both of which are covered with downy hairs. It has five petalled,
pale pink flowers which sit at the base of the leaves. The root must
be boiled, and the resultant distillation applied to burns. If used
successfully the herb will double the rate of healing for the burn.
● Maruera
o Temperate Rivers and Forests
o 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 (DM’s discretion).
● Masterwort
o Masterwort grows to be about three feet tall and bears several
overlapping layers of white flowers. It has winged dark green leaves
like those of a maple tree. The leaves must be boiled and left to
stand for at least twenty days before use. This herb is used as a
protection from plague, giving a +2 bonus to any constitution saves
against disease.
● Masthin
o Tropical Forests
o Plant native to Q'barra jungle that produces natural intoxicants
when young that attract wild animals. If its shoots are used as a
component for any enchantment spell targeting animals or magical
beasts, they have a 40% chance of doubling spell duration.
● Meadow Giant
o Temperate Plains
o Tenacious, large green-stemmed weed that can spring up over-
night in temperate grasslands, plains and farmlands. It easily
threatens crops, and its powdered stem can be made into an anti-
coagulant called White Sanguine, which when added to an injury
poison, causes the victim to bleed for 1 point of damage each
round for one minute, if it fails a save against the poison. Magical
healing or a DC 15 Medicine check stops the bleeding.

typical bush will yield 3d10 berries.
● Mokodo Bush
o This full body bush grows a plentiful amount of waxy green leaves,
that turn pink in the fall. During warmer months the bush sprouts
flowers of yellow and orange, which turn into sweet little berries.
The leaves of the bush can be harvested and rendered down to
create a waxy resin that is often used to seal the hulls of seagoing
boats, replacing pitch. The practice is far from common, as the
process to create the resin is far more expensive than using the
traditional methods. Some seamstresses also coat their threads in
the resin, which allows for the creation of finer garments. These
garments represent armored fine clothing, the appearance of fine
clothes with the protection of light armor (AC 11+Dexterity Mod).
● Mordayn
o Tropical Forests
o Inhaled steam drug made from this rare herb found in deep forest
environments. Initial hallucinations as Bestow Curse spell for d20

is a shade of grey similar to ashes. The few leaves that sprout from
the stalk are a lighter shade of grey with dark veins running
through them. Every few hours the flowers of the plant open, and
appear very similar to white moths. When the flowers are open, the
plant emits a strange smell which causes goblinoids to retch. Any
goblinoid (including half-orcs) approaching within 20 feet of the
plant must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or become
nauseous. Flowers that have been picked do not confer the same
effect.
● Mountain Garlic

reddish brown in colour. It has deeply incised smooth leaves which
are dark green on top and silvery white underneath. It has small,
yellow-green or yellow-red flowers arranged in long spikes at the
top of the stem. If used more than one time, the user must make a
DC 25 Constitution Save or become addicted. While addicted, the
consumer loses 5 hit points per hour and had disadvantage on all
checks and saves.

● Nahre Lotus
o Temperate Rivers
o A waterlily native to large bodies of fresh water. Harvesting the
plant and putting it in a vial works as a splash weapon against
enemies, works as a minor form of the spell Tsunami (wall of water
up to 10 feet long, 10 feet high, and 3 feet thick. On a failed save,
damage is 2d10 – 2 Bludgeoning damage).
● Napweed
o Temperate Plains
o This plant has a single main stem with small fern like leaves, and
small pink flowers growing from it. These flowers must be dried,
powdered, and mixed into wine and then drunk to counter the
effect of injected poisons. A successful application means that only
half normal damage is taken from the poison. In addition to this
use, the flower is often counted as a symbol of faith between lovers
and is used to decorate and garnish foods at weddings. According
to Greek mythology, this plant was used by the centaur, who
wounded by Hercules with an arrow poisoned with the Hydra's
blood, treated himself with it.
● Nararoot
o A tuber found throughout Faerun, the green and purple leaves of
the plant grow close to the ground, and a single thin stalk sprouts
upward to reveal a flower with two wide petals. The root is often
cut into shavings and either eaten directly, or brewed into a tea.

control, as ingesting it renders a person infertile for several weeks.
● Navew
o The seeds of Navew dropped in a drink or on to food before it is
eaten acts as counteragent to ingested poisons. It prevents the
death of a person poisoned in that meal, though they may still be
very ill.
● Nightcall
o Underdark/Caves
o A blue-grey herb smelling faintly of nutmeg that heightens the
user's senses. Over-dosage or prolonged usage causes
photosensitivity, distraction and nervousness; on the other hand,
prolonged usage can also make the effects permanent. Nightcall
gradually dyes the long-term user's hair, teeth, nails, horns, or
scales midnight blue. (The minimum dose of 1 tsp gives the eater
+100' sight range, +10% hearing, and +1 to Wisdom and Dexterity

● Olus Veritis
o Temperate Rivers
o Olus Veritis is pale green in color and grows right on the edge of
rivers. The leaves are rough in texture, and have tiny thorns all
along their edges. A leaf should be baked in an oven for one hour
and then dragged across the skin of the recipient, cutting their
flesh very slightly. The recipient, must make a DC 17 Constitution
save vs poison or be compelled to answer all questions, absolutely
truthfully for the next 1d6 x 10 minutes. Up to three uses of the

any disease. It leaves a yellow color in the skin.
● Orevine
o Arctic and Temperate Plains, Rivers, and Mountains
o A vine-grape looking plant native to lowlands between mountains
and rivers that draws metal from the surrounding soil into
bulbous, grape-shaped sacks. Depending on what type of metal it

per month.
● Orticusp
o Temperate Forests
o Extremely rare flower with a root that looks like a pale white fist,
found in temperate forests with trees of at least 150 years of age.
Fey within 20 yards can smell its earthy aroma and find it easily. If
the root is pulped it can be made into Night Venom, which when
added to a poison, adds an additional saving throw (at the poisons'
normal DC) to the initial save against the poison. Failure causes
the creature to fall asleep until the secondary effect of the poison
kicks in.
● Oruighen
o Deserts
o A rare cactus native to alkaline salts that can be made into an
inhaled powder drug granting +1 to rolls for Performance, DC 14
Constitution save that, if failed, causes blindness for 2d4 minutes

damage. Further doses only cause more and increasing psychic
damage.
● Pattran
o Tropical Plains
o The root of a small, shrub-like plant with dark green, shiny leaves
and thorns, Pattran is used to relax the muscles and encourage
sleep. In mild dosages, Pattran causes a general feeling of
relaxation, eases sore, strained or sprained muscles, and similar
aches. In larger doses, Pattran causes sleepiness. Pattran tastes
like a combination of mint and rich soil. (For sleep dosages, user
may voluntarily choose to sleep well or, if resisting, make a DC 12
Constitution Save. Effects last 2d4 hours; if asleep, the user will
sleep and awaken normally.)
● Pennyroyal
o Temperate Forests and Rivers
o Pennyroyal is a low creeping herb with a squarish stem and small
dark green leaves which grow in pairs. The flowers grow in round
clusters which are mauve in hue. The leaves should be plucked
and while fresh be thrown into a person’s bath water. They may
then have an aphrodisiac effect on anyone the recipient attempts
to influence in the next 1d4 days (+1 to persuasion checks made
within that period). In addition, if dried, the leaves may be
sprinkled among books, and will then act as an insect repellent.
These make the leaves highly prized among mages and sages who
will normally pay 12 gp for small amounts of the dried leaves.
● Peony
o This plant with its delicate pink flowers may be boiled into a
powerful healing draught, capable of stopping all bleeding, internal
and external immediately. However a roll of 1 on the nature check
by the herbalist, will kill the recipient in 1d4 minutes, as they
suffer a massive heart attack. The herb can be deliberately used as
a poison by using five times the normal dosage.
● Periwinkle
o The plant is a creeping vine with dark, green shiny leaves and pale
blue flowers. The flowers must be crushed into a powder and

bleeding, both internal and external in one turn (+6 hit points
recovered if administered within one turn of taking damage).
● Petiveria
o This plant has a single stem with dark green, shiny leaves growing
from it. It is topped by very thin, yellow flowers. The petals of these
flowers should be mixed into a poultice, where they will, on a
successful application, act to bring down swelling and bruise over
the course of a one-day period. Commonly used across the realm
as a cold compress for black-eyes.
● Phandar
o Temperate Forests
o A knobby deciduous tree with mottled bark, the branches often
grow away from the prevailing wind, often giving a copse of the
trees the appearance of being almost blown over by strong winds.
The branches support a surprising amount of small triangular
leaves, and are the natural home for a species of moth that
resemble the leaves. The strength of the wood lends itself to be an
excellent choice for tool handles, bows, and small boats. The
multicolored grains are regularly in fashion for jewelry making in
such places as Waterdeep and Suzail. However, because of
excessive logging over several centuries, the tree can only be found
in isolated copses, often far from centers of civilization.
● Pixie Table
o Temperate Forests
o Rare 1-foot tall and 1-foot diameter mushroom with a dark
lavender cap that can be found in any woodland but is most
common in temperate forests housing Fey. If boiled with cloth, it
dyes it Lavender. It is the main ingredient for a red liquid called
memorybind, which allows a prepared caster to prepare an extra
1st level spell in exchange for reducing all save DCs by 2.
● Poison Apple
o Tropical Forests
o A magically bred medium-sized apple tree that bears red fruits that
taste good but function as a strong sleeping poison (DC 18
Constitution Save or the recipient falls into a deep magical sleep
for 2d6 days). The sleep can be cured by a Protection from Poison
spell.
● Pomow
o A magically created dark-purple spheroid fruit-plant that grows to
1-2 feet across, serves as a hardy crop viable in a range of
climates. Meat, root and seeds are edible and high in protein, core
of the plant is filled with juice, the fibers are similar to cotton, and
the rind can be used as a sharpening strap for fine blades. A new
fruit starts growing as soon as the old one is plucked.
● Pondstone Tree
o Tropical Forests and Swamps
o A towering willow relative that grows in tropical and near-tropical
swamps, pondstone wood is often used for its flexibility while
freshly cut to construct simple boats and canoes. In addition, the
reduction of the wood over a low flame will cause a collection of
sap on the ends of the wood. This sap can then be collected,
further distilled, and consumed as a tincture that induces mild
hallucinogenic effects, including the capability to see one’s own
body from a third person point of view. It is argued among
enthusiasts about whether you truly do see yourself in third
person or whether the hallucinations are just a reconstruction of
your surroundings using artificially heightened senses. There are
no known negative side effects to pondstone sap consumption, and
the recreational use of pondstone sap is referred to as Sap
Goggling.
● Powdered Desert Milk (Wolves’ Milk)
o Deserts and Desert Mountains
o Distilled liquid drug that stains lips blue, first causes -1 penalty to
Wisdom and then bolsters pain immunity, grants a sense of
euphoria and a -2 penalty to Initiative for 1d4 hours. Overdose if

● Prince’s Feather
o Temperate Plains
o This herb has red-green leaves and long pink flowers. The flowers
must be beaten into powder and eaten by the recipient. If
successful, the herb will halve the rate of internal bleeding within 1
turn, decreasing the damage taken in the next turn.
● Purple Pipeweed
o A short, purple weed that was originally a farm-field pest before it
started being farmed itself can be dried and smoked, and is in fact
very commonly smoked by spellcasters that focus on illusory
magic. For one hours after smoking a quantity of pipeweed, the
consumer is elevated to a higher state of imagination. This
unfortunately gives them an increased chance of being surprised
(enemies in combat will always will a surprise round against the
pipeweed smoker while he or she is under its effects) but also
increases the spell save DC of any illusion magic cast by the
pipeweed user by +2.
R
● Rampalt
o This dark-colored root grows on a plant distinguished by its waxy
dark green leaves. When the root is boiled down, it turns into a
thick, strong-smelling greyish liquid that cures congestion when
boiled in water and inhaled. (Relieves stuffy head, opens sinuses,
for as long as the steam is breathed + 2d6x10 rounds. Grants
resistance to diseases in the form of advantage when rolling for
Constitution Saves against disease.)
● Rare-Blue
o Underdark/Caves
o A rare, pale blue mushroom that grows only in westward facing
cave mouths. Can be turned into an inhaled powder drug. Initial
effect of +2 to Int and Cha for 1 hour, Seconary -1 penalty to Str

doses in 12 hours and 4d6 damage plus paralyzed for 2d4 hours if
3 or more doses in 24 hours.
● Ratavasa Flowers
o Tropical Plains
o A short purple flower that grows close to the ground, the plant is
generally little more than a few floppy leaves sitting above the soil.
However, during the warmer months, the plant sprouts a cluster of
small purple flowers that smell faintly of cinnamon. The petals of
the flower are often steeped in hot water to create a tea that
prevents conception. Any female drinking the tea is unable to
become pregnant within the next two days.
● Rattlestalks
o These tall stalks that grow out of stagnant water end in a thick
bulb with a hard shell. In the colder months, the stalk withers, and
the bulb falls off, to float around until the bulb softens and falls
away to disperse the seeds within. The seeds sit freely in the shell,
and when shaken make a slight rattle noise, which is unnerving
when the wind rushes through a cluster of rattlestalks. Tribes that
live in the swamps will often use the unnerving aspect of the
rattlestalks to create fear inducing noisemakers. When rattled,
those that have no knowledge of the rattlestalks must make a DC 8
Wisdom saving throw, or be Frightened for 1d4 minutes.
● Razorvine
o Twinning climber native to the open plain-lands that is nigh
impossible to get rid of as it grows at least 1 ft per day even if cut
down to a stub. Dried Razorvine provides excellent fire kindle.

minutes nauseated.
● Redroot
o Arctic, Temperate, and Tropical Plains and Cities
o The plant is a tangled mass of leafy shoots that grow close to the
ground. While it does grow wild in a large swath of the Realms, it is
also sometimes intentionally planted on farms. Pulling a ripened
root from the ground reveals a large crimson colored tuber. The
tuber is often turned into a curative paste which can be applied to
wounds to soothe the pain and speed healing (+5 to any hit dice
expended during a short rest). Ingesting the root often causes
nausea and vomiting (DC 16 Constitution Save to avoid vomiting
and nausea for the next 1d4 hours).
● Redstar Flowers
o A strange plant with a translucent pink stem, numerous small
branches fork off of the main stem, each of them ending in a small
red flower with five petals. Each flower has a small opening which
leads down the branch to a small pool of sap. The sap has a
sickeningly sweet aroma which draws in small insects, which then
become disoriented and perish in the sap and are dissolved. The
plant is often harvested for the sweet sap, which is sifted to remove
the remains of insects. Next the sap is heated, and used to coat
confections and pastries, which then hardens to become a glaze.
Bakers in small cities will pay a large price for the raw sap.
● Rewk
o Tropical Plains
o The nodules of the stem of Rewk must be brewed in clear water for
one whole day before drinking. It will then cure 1d8 points of
damage.
● Ribwort Plantain
o Tropical Forests

veins at its base, a single stem topped by a cluster of tiny, pale
orange flowers. The chopped leaves are applied to the flesh to
reduce bruising. A successful application will remove slight bruises
altogether within an hour, more severe bruises will take 1d4 days.
● Ripplebark
o Temperate Forests
o Shelf-like fungus that looks like rooting flesh but is perfectly
edible, although it tastes better if cooked properly. Restores 1d4+1
hit points if eaten raw and 2d4+2 hit points if properly prepared.
● Ripplewood
o Tropical Forests and Underdark/Caves
o Dark-green vine up to 400 ft long with no roots or leaves native to
the elemental planes of air but transplanted to the material plane.
Forms massive twisted nests of at least 4 vines that choose their
“down” to be in the centre between them to support from the
bottom or from the top to hang from a cave ceiling or large tree.
Often used by giant eagles and such to make nests. A cluster can
support 500 lb per 5 ft square.
● Rosecork
o Temperate Forests
o A short tree that sprouts many diverging thick branches, the
leaves are rather small and plentiful. The bark is a light shade of
red, and darkens during winter months. Due to the considerable
amount of moisture that the trees retain, it is seen as a poor choice
for burning. Rosecork wood will often take several hours of being
exposed to hot flames before enough of the moisture has burned
away before it catches fire. It is for this reason that it is
occasionally used in construction in areas surrounding volcanoes
or in the construction of boats.
● Rose Campion
o This herb will protect against scorpion stings for three days. It will
protect against only one sting and also protects against ìnstant
death' poison or one hit kills.
● Rose of Forgetfulness
o This unusual rose, often identified by the multicolored petals, are
only found rarely in the wild, as their scent causes lingering
problems. Their tangled vines are covered in sharp red thorns, and
the smooth green leaves are tinged in orange. Those that smell the
mesmerizing fragrance of the roses must make a DC 15 Wisdom
saving throw or forget the past 2d4 minutes. Failing the saving
throw by 5 or more causes the victim to forget the past 1d6 hours,
and a spellcaster to forget 1d6 spells occupying the highest spell
slots first. Those that fail the saving throw by 10 or more forget the
past 1d6 days, and spellcasters forget 2d6 spells occupying the
highest spell slots first. Rolling a 1 on the saving throw causes the
inhaler to suffer from complete amnesia, and can only be cured by
a Wish, Heal, or Greater Restoration spell to restore their forgotten
identity.
● Rouddan
o Arctic Plains, Mountains, and Forests
o A root vegetable, the leaves of the Rouddan are broad and soft.
Known as the “red turnip of Proskur” it is a staple food of nearby
peasants. Due to necessity, a large variety of different methods of
preparation have arisen, including a thick stew of Rouddan, and as
a base for slop mashes. The root keeps well when kept in a cool
and dry climate, and resists decomposition well. While they can be
eaten raw, they are best soaked in broth or spiced water (heals for
1d4 hit points if eaten raw or 1d8 hit points if eaten in soup; the
creation of soup can also split a single Rouddan into 8 servings).
● Ruby Apple
o Temperate Forests
o A legendary tree allegedly created by a by a female elf most severely
gifted in the cultivation of magically grown plants in her final
moments of life. It’s an apple tree that grows rubies instead of
apples. Similar trees grow in Mottlegrasp’s Orchard in Bytopia. The
trees are scattered around far-remove areas of forest and if one is
stumbled across, can be harvested for 2d4 fist sized rubies that
each sell for 300 gp.
● Ruby Blushrose
o The long stems of the rose are oddly free of thorns that grace other
similar flowers, while the rose itself is abundantly large and red.
The rose tends to grow in clumps with others of the same species.
Smelling the rose has a curious effect, as the pleasing aroma
causes people to blush. Extended exposure to the aroma causes
exhaustion and light-headedness. Those that spend more than a
few moments within 10 feet of a blushrose must make a DC 15
Constitution saving throw or suffer Disadvantage on Constitution
and Wisdom saving throws for as long as they remain within
proximity and 2d6 minutes afterward. Some romantics declare that
the blushrose brings the euphoric and lightheaded feelings of being
in love to the forefront.
● Rue
o Temperate Plains
o Rue is a small rounded bush which grows to about three feet in
height. It has yellow, scoop-like flowers. The leaves are shaped like
spades, and are blue-grey in color. It has seedpods which resemble
a small lime. The seedpods should be consumed as an antidote to
ingested poisons. Provided it is taken within 10 minutes, of the
poison being ingested, and the poison has not already had its
effect, it will neutralize the poison in 1d4 minutes, on a successful
nature check.
S
● Sabito
o This plant has leaves which are bluish in tinge, and is found
growing in the sands of coastal dunes. The root is dark blue in
color and small, pill-like growths sprout from these roots.
Consuming one of these pills will allow the recipient to breathe
underwater for 10 minutes, by allowing them to absorb the oxygen
in the water directly into their skin through osmosis. Their skin
has a translucent appearance for these ten minutes.
● Sable Fir
o Arctic Forests
o A type of tree from an eponymous forest on the continent of
Pentillia that allegedly makes excellent arrow-shafts and turns a
deep lustrous black if lumbered mid-winter and rubbed with hot
oils.
● Saddilia
o Tropical Forests
o 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 1% 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 (DM’s discretion) spellcasting
abilities. The number of nuts available varies greatly, depending on
the age of the tree, the number of creatures aware of its existence,
etc., and mainly of course on the DM’s wishes. Basically, the DM
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.
● Saffron
o The plant has a tuberous root, and large purplish flowers with
yellow-red centers. The pistils of the flower must be pounded into a
paste which is left to dry for a week. The resulting powder is taken
as snuff. This herb raises all attribute scores by one for one hour.
After consumption the first time, the user must make a DC 18
Constitution Save or become addicted. After the initial hour of stat
raises, stats will lower from the base value by 1 every day until the
next consumption.
● Salamander Orchids
o Arctic Plains and Cities
o Orchid that's constantly on fire, propagated by a talented
spellcaster from the City of Brass. Allows any non-trained
craftsman to turn a weapon into a flaming weapon with the
appropriate nature check. Handling the orchid without proper
tools deals 1d6 points of damage per minute.
● Sand Vine
o Temperate and Tropical Coastal and Oceans
o Relatively rare rope-like seaweed found along temperate or warmer
coasts. Grows both above and below water, commonly rooted to a
small rock. Can be dried and used as rope. With alchemy, its
juices can be made into Vine Oil, which is a topical aesthetic that
allows a creature to fight until -5 hit points. Lasts for 1 hour, has
the side-effect that within 24 hours of use, a creature can not
stabilize on its own (so even with successful death saves, the
creature or person must be assisted). Regular use gives a signature
salt and slight rotten fish smell.
● Sandberry Bush
o Deserts
o Small bushes with waxy green leaves, the plant grows in the
remote Battle of Bones. The bush has small yellow berries that
have a bitter taste, but can be brewed to make a soothing tea. The
few nomadic tribes that pass through the Battle of Bones pick the
berries as a remedy for insomnia. Acts as a sleeping helper, so if
the consumer is willing, induces a 6 hour sleep cycle with no
negative side-effects.
● Sanicle
o Temperate Plains
o Sanicle leaves should be crushed and left in white wine, the
strained through a cloth and drunk. It has the effect of binding
wounds so that they are not reopened by action. It is a small plant
with glossy green leaves, with long leaf stalks which are divided
into three or five lobes. It has small white or pink flowers which sit
at the top of a slender stalk. (+4 to rolls made with hit dice
expended during a short rest.)
● Saracen’s Confound
o Temperate Plains
o This herb cures fevers within 1d4-1 hours.
● Sasami Tree
o Tropical Plains, Forests, and Cities
o This dwarf tree is favored among nobility of the southern
provinces, as it is easy to cultivate and grows quickly. The sparse
leaves it produces are diamond shaped and light green with a tinge
of pink on the edges. The exercise in restraint is one lesson that
the Sasami Tree teaches children of the wealthy patience and
restraint. Cutting off too many branches causes the tree to sicken
and perish, while allowing the tree to grow wild often causes the
tree to turn into an unruly mess. The leaves are often exchanged
as a decorative gift between servants and distant relatives.
● Scarlet Heart Mushrooms
o Large black mushrooms covered in heart-shaped red spots, those
trekking through swamps have a potential of encountering the
dangerous fungus. Sensing the heat of a living creature, when they
come near the red spots burst, creating a cloud of spores with a 5-
ft radius. Anyone within the affected area must make a DC 13
Constitution saving throw or be blinded for 2d4 hours.
● Scented Mayweed
o Scented mayweed grows to a height of about 2 feet. It has erect
and branching stems. It has small leaves, white flowers with a
yellow center. The flowers must be crushed, emitting a pungent
odor and should then be applied to the eyes in order to heal
damage to them caused by acid or poison. If used within a day of
the injury, they can prevent blindness.
● Scholar’s Dream
o Ivy that grows on the graves of sages and wise-men. If used as a
component for abjuration domain spells it doubles range and
duration.
● Serapias Turbith
o This herb will place the recipient into a deep sleep for one day. The
recipient CANNOT be woken. At the end of the day, all wounds will
be healed. It does not, of course, resurrect a dead person, but the
plant’s magically induced coma will regenerate lost limbs.
● Serpent Sweat
o Underdark/Caves
o The fungus appears to be a cluster of small yellow beads, often
growing on decomposing matter. Small black stems hold them
aloft, and their surface is shiny enough to reflect torchlight. While
the fungus may appear like berries, they are quite poisonous.
Underdark denizens will often collect the fungus wearing leather
gloves to prevent touching it with their skin. When the fungi are
touched with bare hands must make a DC 17 Constitution saving
throw or be Paralyzed for 1d4 hours and begin to sweat profusely.
Those that fail the saving throw by 5 or more suffer 32 (8d6)
poison damage.
● Serren Wood
o Tropical Forests
o Tall, hardy trees transplanted from Arborea's top layer Arvandor,
and a vessel for nature spirits. Bow, Arrow, or Crossbow bolt made
from this wood adds 1d4+1 radiant damage to any successful
attack.
● Sessali
o A rugged thorny plant found by the sea. The leaves must be boiled
for two hours in salt water, and the resultant mix sweetened with
honey. This mixture will act as a cure for certain types of long-
term, typically incurable ingested poisons (DM’s discretion, as to
which ones). The recipient must be made to drink one dose
immediately the mixture is ready, and then some furthers dose
every twelve hours for three days (7 doses in all). If the number of
successful applications is four or more, the patient will recover.
● Sezarad
o Temperate Plains
o Broad vivid flower with a short brittle root, which when chewed
functions as a drug. The initial and secondary effects are 1d8
temporary hit points that overlap with each other that last for 10
minutes after initial ingestion. -1 to Wisdom checks for 20 minutes
after ingestion.
● Shadowtop
o A rather tall and quickly growing tree that can be found
throughout Faerun. The leaves only grow at the very top of the
tree, and appear dark green above and have a copper hue from
beneath. These leaves are also highly flammable, and are often
gathered to be used as tinder. The wood of the tree is quite fibrous,
but not dense enough to be worthwhile building material. Instead
the strands are often broken down and woven into thick rope. The
wood burns fairly hot and long and without an abundance of
smoke, thus making it ideal for use in hearth fires and torches.
● Shaggy Ink Mushrooms
o Tropical Swamps and Underdark/Caves
o A small, button mushroom that can be milked or squeezed out to
harvest a shiny black liquid. This liquid, if consumed or absorbed
through the skin, will cause the recipient to mope about vocally,
and loudly question their choices in life. Affected creatures just
want to lean against the wall and cry. A save is allowed for every
instance they are slapped by another person, DC 16 Wisdom Save,
with a cumulative +1 bonus per slap.
● Shepherd’s Purse
o This herb rarely grows to a height of more than one and a half feet.
It has small greyish green leaves, growing smaller towards the
summit of the plant. It has small four petalled dirty-white flowers
at its peak. If applied as a compress within 4 turns of taking
poison damage, it will undo up to 3d4 of that damage.
● Silverleaf
o Temperate Mountains and Plains
o Only blooming by the light of a full moon, the plant appears to be
largely nondescript until seen at night in full bloom. The entire
plant is basked in a silvery glow, and the flower is large and
luminescent white. At the end of the night the flower falls off of the
plant and quickly wilts in the morning sun. However, before the
flower wilts, it can be ground into a fine powder, the mere smell of
which repels lycanthropes, who take a -8 penalty to initiative when
in the presence of the fresh flower.
● Silverthorn (Aelebera)
o Arctic Mountains
o Silverthorn is a small thorny plant, white in color with red berries
and silver thorns. 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.
● Silverwood
o Arctic Forests
o A type of tree nurtured by sylvan elves to grow into unique forms,
be free of disease and produce delicious sap that is made into
famous elven mead. The sap is clear and slightly sticky, and
provides a +2 alchemical bonus on Constitution saves VS poison
for 1 hour.
● Sinquoi
o 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 but you may be able to see an opponent telegraph their
movements more easily. (DC 20 Dexterity Save when a melee
attack is targeted toward you, on a successful save, your AC
increases by 2 for the period of that attack.) However, Sinquoi also
causes side-effects in the form of halved movement speed for 1d6
hours after the initial dosage wears off.
● Sky Lotus
o Arctic Plains and Mountains
o White stemless flower native to high altitudes that can be found
floating lazily through the air between 4 and 15 feet off the ground.
Provides 1 day of nutrition if eaten, but contain trace amounts of
arsenic that can affect creatures that eat a lot of them (DC 5
Constitution save that increases by 1 on each consecutive flower
eaten, 1d8 poison damage on a failed save). If oil is collected from
10 sky lotuses, it produces a natural potion of levitation that is
also a full dose of poison (DC 15 Constitution save,1d12 poison
damage on a failed save).
● Sleepweed
o This plant appears similar to milkweed, and its pods contain sleep-
inducing spores. If pods can be thrown as a ranged attack (range
5-ft), a struck target must make a DC 15 Constitution save or fall
asleep for 1 minute.
● Slumberweed
o Tropical Plains
o Dried and powdered leaves of this plant, if inhaled or ingested, can
cause a "sleeplike state resembling death" for 8 hours (Constitution
Save DC 13 negates). Can be delivered via blowgun (no
Constitution save required to place the victim into sleep if delivered
this way.)
● Snakespike
o Temperate Plains
o A thin stalk covered with yellow-green flowers. The leaves can be
steeped in water to make a tea that, when imbibed 3 times a day,
reduces inflammation and restores strength; when made into an
ointment, snakespike soothes and promotes rapid healing. (Tea
gives 1d4 hp/day; ointment restores 1 hit point immediately per
application but can only be administered to the same character
once a day.)
● Snowflake Lichen
o Arctic Mountains, Plains, Forests, and Rivers
o Magical plant that looks like snow and grows on rocks in cold
climates. It leeches heat, DC 12 Constitution save, on a failed save
deals 1d6 cold damage to creatures within 10 ft. Touching causes
1d12 cold damage on a failed Constitution save of 15.
● Snowwood
o Arctic Forests
o A pale tree that grows in the north, and has a slightly bluish cast
to the mottled bark. The trunks of the trees are often thin and
dense, with spindly limbs and dark green leaves. The mottled
coloration of the bark often forms into shapes that vaguely
resemble faces, and a few tribes hold a belief that the trees hold
the spirits of ancestors that watch over them. The trees are quite
remarkable as they can survive in some of the coldest climates,
and have even been seen as far north as the High Ice and the
Reghed Glacier. The roots of the tree often stretch deep, anchoring
the tree in places where other vegetation would find difficult
purchase.
● Soarwood
o Tropical Coastal Forests
o Rare wood native to Aerenal that possesses magical buoyancy.
Water-vessels made from Soarwood cost quadruple price to
construct and move at double speed. Soarwood is 75% lighter than
regular wood. It is a necessary component for the construction of
Eberron-style airships, and when worked into an airship, it
becomes naturally lighter than air.
● Spanish Nut
o Tropical Forests
o This herb is a powerful aphrodisiac. If successfully administered I
would suggest that the DM or player roleplays the recipient
accordingly. However, if a method of using dice to simulate its
effect is wanted, I suggest that anyone who attempts to seduce the
recipient should have a bonus of +5 to their Persuasion checks for
a period of 2d10 minutes.
● Sparkleberry
o A single stalk bearing a number of curled leaves, the sweet berries
of the plant are known throughout Faerun, and they sparkle
radiantly in direct sunlight. Villagers often know of nearby patches
of wild sparkle berries, and pick them in mid-summer. The berries
have a variety of methods by which they are eaten. Fresh berries
are often served with cheese, and many are processed into jams
and jellies to be preserved for later. Consumption of the raw
berries grants resistance to Radiant damage for 10 minutes while
consumption of the jam or jelly grants resistance for 5 minutes.
● Spectreflower
o This highly unusual plant grows in the deepest parts of dark
forests, far from the eyes of civilization. The stalk is a blue-green
color, and several pale leaves grow along the length. During nights
of the full moon the plant buds a flower, which appears wispy and
translucent. Attemping to touch the flower reveals that it is
incorporeal, and has the substance of smoke. Come morning the
flower disperses on the wind, sending the seeds of the flower on
their path. The roots of the flower can be used to make an oil that
allows blades to strike incorporeal creatures, called Ghostbane Oil.
Using the roots of the Specterflower, alchemists are capable of
distilling an oil, that when applied to weapons, allows the weapon
to inflict full damage upon incorporeal creatures as if they were
physical creatures. The benefit lasts only for a few swings, up to
the DM’s discretion.
● Spellbane
o Temperate and Arctic Mountains
o A small but tenacious plant that grows in shadowed areas, clinging
to rocks. The wide ragged leaves of the plant are filled with vibrant
blue veins, and at night in the spring it produces small delicate
blue flowers which crumble with the slightest touch. Surprisingly,
the plant has an interesting effect upon magic users and magical
creatures. Those that ingest parts of the plant lose the ability to
cast spells and gain an increased resistance to magic for 3d4 days.
● Spiderwort
o This herb will cure spider poison if applied within 2 rounds. The
successful application will negate the poisoned effect and heal the
amount of poison damage dealt. However, long-term effects,
including death, remain. This plant may be found anywhere in
temperate regions where there is chalky soil.
● Spirit Moss
o A pale white moss that often grows on dead trees in marsh
environments. Those familiar with the moss know to avoid it, as it
attacks the living. Those that approach within 10 feet cause the
moss to violently thrash about, forcing those within the area to
make Dexterity saving throws, DC 13, or be grappled by the moss.
Escaping the grasp of the moss requires a Strength saving throw,
DC 11. The moss then implants spores that burrow into the skin of
the trapped creature, inflicting 1d6+1 damage per round. After the
creature is implanted, they suffer Disadvantage to all attribute and
skill checks, as a terrible malaise washes over them. Once the
creature dies, the body sprouts a new mass of spirit moss. The
implanted spores can be destroyed by the application of heat to the
affected area on the round after implantation, or with a Lesser
Restoration or similar magic after that point.
● Spotty Dragonfire
o Wildflower with red, yellow, and orange petals that grows to 1-ft
high and stretches 6 inch in diameter. The flower only blooms at
night. It can be found in tropical to temperate regions and grows in
single plants, except near red dragon lairs, where it glows
plentifully. It can be made into Dragongrew, which grants a +1
bonus to all Constitution saves for 1 hour.
● Spring Adonis
o Temperate Forests
o 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 DM’s 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 chance of
suffering a fatal heart attack 3d12 hours after taking such a
massive dose (DC 14 Constitution Save). Certain tribes of
barbarians in the mountain regions where this herb is found use
the herb in order to help them go berserk in battle. These tribes,
due to constant dosing from birth have only a small chance of
suffering the heart attack (DC 8 Cons. Save). 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.
● Stirge Traps
o Temperate and Tropical Swamps and Plains
o These short plants grow several wide leaves covered in fine hairs,
and a single large bell-shaped flower. The flower exudes a sicky
sap that is deep red in hue, nearly the color of fresh blood, which
also has a coppery aroma. The smell and coloration of the sap is
intended to attract predators that prey on blood, such as stirge
and mosquitos. While smaller insects are trapped by the sicky sap,
the leaves are also covered in fine hairs, and when they are
touched they curl up, trapping larger prey. Some farmers plant the
flowers around the edges of their livestock pens, to keep stirge
predation to a minimum, and in more urban areas pots of the sap
are left out to trap mosquitos and other airborne pests. The plants
are too small to effect people in the same manner.
● Stoneshroom
o Underdark/Caves
o Chalky, rock-looking fungus native to the Underdark that is both
edible (1 stoneshroom =1 meal) and produces spores in the form of
breathable air. Also, for 24 hours after eating a stoneshroom, a
creature can hold its breath twice as long as normal. Stoneshroom
subsists on minerals in the rock and remains edible for 1 day after
picking. With the proper nature check, smaller stoneshroom can
be inserted into the nostrils to sustain breathing underwater or
through poisonous gas.
● Stonestream
o Arctic and Temperate Forests and Rivers
o Given the name by gnomes, stonestream is a small lichen that
produces a clear syrupy liquid that then drizzles down the sides of
rocks that the lichen lives on. Collecting this syrup and heating
into a tea for consumption will turn the user into stone for 2d4
hours. During this time, any poison or toxins, and most diseases,
will be purged from the system into the stone surroundings. While
turned to stone, the user takes one hit point of damage per hour.
● Stonewort
o A leafy plant with small pink flowers that grows in bunches in
open fields. The plant is rather unremarkable, except for its
tenacity and resilience. Farmers will often complain that it chokes
out other crops, unless it is pulled up by the root and no remnants
of the plant remains, and livestock often refuse to eat it. The true
worth of the plant is when it is ground into a powder and turned
into a paste. Spreading it on exposed flesh causes the skin to
become hardened and stiff, resilient enough to resist slashes and
stabs. Grants a +1 bonus to Armor Class for 2d6 minutes.
However, more than a single application per day of the paste
inflicts a -1 penalty on Dexterity based skill and saving throw rolls
when applied, as the skin begins to stiffen and become numb.
● Strawberry
o Temperate Plains, Forests, Mountains, and Rivers
o These small red berries grow on very small bushes with pale green
rounded leaves. Five berries should be bound into a bandage,
which should then be applied to a lepers sores. If the application is
successful, that sore will deteriorate no further. They’re also just
really tasty.
● Stygian Pumpkin
o A sulfur-scented, dead-looking variety of pumpkin that can grow in
any temperate region and is cultivated by goblins as food. It grows
rapidly over large areas, rendering the soil poisonous to other
plants. It can be made into Devil's Soap, which is a stinking black
paste that grants resistance to fire damage for 1 hour.
● Suaeysit
o A dark black mushroom with greyish markings along the
undersides, this fungus grows in shadowed forests in cool to cold
climes. Suaeysit mushrooms can be eaten directly or dried and
ground into tinctures or otherwise prepared. The mushrooms give
the imbiber a rush of energy, 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 stats –
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 of gutwrenching pain and 5 poison damage per
day.)
● Sunberry Bush
o A large bush with light green oval leaves, the branches are studded
with small thorns. During the spring months the bush is covered
with small golden flowers. The golden berries of the bush grow with
small protrusions, giving them the appearance of a small flaming
sun. While the freshly cut berries are sour, leaving them to sit in
the sun for a day or two after being picked turns them remarkably
sweet. The berries are often picked for Sunberry Wine. This wine is
remarkably popular with Rangers, increasing the effective range of
their weapons by 10 feet and granting them immunity to
environmental cold, as well as flushed cheeks.
● Sunflower of Pelor
o Deserts, Arctic, Temperate, and Tropical Plains and Forests
o Large sunflower commonly found where undead were destroyed by
a cleric’s Destroy Undead. If petals are treated with various oils
and solvents, the petals can be consumed to bolstering spells
relating to the creation of light, doubling spell area.
● Sussur (Deeproot)
o Underdark/Caves
o A rare, magical, magic-dependent tree with long gnarled branches
and banyan-like aerial roots found in the largest Underdark
caverns. Grows to 60 ft of height, has very few leaves, and absorbs
magic, creating massive (1d20 x 100 ft.) anti-magic fields.
● Suth
o Arctic, Temperate, and Tropical Plains and Forests
o A tree with dark grey bark, and branches which sprout almost
horizontally from the trunk for some distance before abruptly
changing angles. The branches of multiple trees growing close
together often grow together, becoming a tangled mass, and
sometimes creating natural walls. The olive-green leaves were long
and fluffy, but sporting a spike at the end which often made
attempting to push through the interlaced branches a painful task.
The wood of the tree is renowned for being hard and durable,
making cutting them down very difficult. Thus, in some areas
where lumbering has cleared away large swaths of trees, there are
large copses of tangled Suth trees left untouched. When the trees
have been cut down, however, it was found that they work
wonderfully as shield-wood, especially since soaking it in water
before battle keeps it from catching fire.
● Swampwalker
o A curious plant that has caused more than a few strange tales
from the rural villagers, the Swampwalker seems to stand out of
the water, supported by a mass of tendrils, and sprouting a clump
of pink flowers that attract various insects. Each tendril is the
thickness of a finger, and due to slow currents in the swamp, the
tendrils often clump together or break off entirely, causing the
plant to look like a looming figure standing on the surface of the
brackish water. One legend has it that the plants come alive
during the darkest of nights. They stalk nearby villages hoping to
catch the unwary and drag them back to watery graves. Whether
this is true or not is completely unknown.
● Sweet Trefoile
o Temperate and Tropical Rivers
o This feathery, slightly invasive waterplant will halve falling damage
for 1d6 minutes after consumption.
● Swordstalks
o A succulent plant with a cluster of three broad and thick leaves
that grow from the ground, and sprouting a single small blue
flower on the tips of each leaf each spring. The swordstalk often
grows in tropical places, and often in the sandy soil near beaches
and deserts. The broad and heavy leaves of the plant are often
severed and dried, and the result is a fairly resilient weapon with a
jagged edge on either side, capable of cutting through flesh almost
as easily as a steel sword. The resulting weapon functions as either
a short sword or a longsword, perfect for the discerning druid.
However, on any critical fail on a roll to hit with the swordstalk,
that the weapon is broken and rendered useless.
T
● Tahtoalethi (Wishfern)
o Temperate and Tropical Coastal Mountains
o Mystical plant that grants a wish every 1d100 years on the night of
the winter solstice. Seed sells for 25000 gp, devilishly hard to
cultivate.
● Tai-Gi
o Tropical Plains
o The ground and powdered root of this small, almost flat plant will,
if eaten, increase the efficiency of all a person’s five senses by 5
times for a period of 2d6 hours. They will be able to see five times
as far, and things five times as small, track by scent alone, hear
the smallest sounds, and even taste many poisons on their
tongues. A side effect is that they are also five times as susceptible
to pain. (For each hit point of damage, the person must roll under
their constitution minus damage taken. For example, if someone
with a Constitution of 15 was hit for 6 points of damage, they
would have to roll under 9 on a d20. If the person ever takes more
damage than their Constitution score while under the influence of
this herb, they have a 80% chance of instant death, just from the
pain.)
● Takara Bulb
o Temperate Forests
o A large bulbous mass that grows a half-dozen shoots that each end
in a single leaf. The bulb is dark brown or even red in coloration,
while the leaves are a light green with red veins. During the spring
a single large red flower forms at the center of the bulb. The bulb
can be harvested and eaten raw, although it often tastes better
after having been cooked. Many small mountain villages culivate
the bulb, as the plant grows well in rocky soil. (Heals for 1d4-1 hit
points if eaten raw or 1d6+1 hit points if cooked).
● Tamarind
o Tropical Forests
o This low-hanging tree fruit will quench the thirst. However, it does
not replace the water in their system. A person can still die of
thirst, they just won't feel thirsty. Because of this fact, its use can
be dangerous.
● Tamariske (Blacktear)
o This herb will cleanse the body through the wounds, removing all
disease in the form of black ooze that will drip from an open
wound. If no wounds are open at the time, it will ooze from the tear
ducts, giving the Tamariske its nickname. It does not cure lost hit
points.
● Tangara Kelp
o Tropical Oceans
o Growing out of the seabed, this dark green ropy kelp grows in
shallow waters, and is both a blessing and a bane to sailors. The
kelp often tangles oars, fishing nets, crab traps, and rudders.
However, more than a few sailors stuck in the doldrums near a
desolate island have survived off of little more than the purified
water contained within the kelp’s stalks and barrel-like fruit, as
well as the schools of fish that dwell among the fronds.
● Tateesha
o Deserts
o The tateen bush is a low-lying shrub with long thin leaves and
small brown nuts. These nuts may be chewed to provide a short-
lived feeling of euphoria, and are mildly addictive. They have the
side effect of staining the teeth, making it easy to find a tateesha
addict. The flowers, called silks, bloom only in spring, and if
gathered and dried for one week form a powerful narcotic which
may be smoked. For 2d10 minutes after smoking the persons
insight is increased by +2, but for 1d4 hours after this, a state of
distortion ensues, and the recipient’s Intelligence and Wisdom
drop by -2 from their normal levels. Prolonged use causes the user
to collapse into an almost dreamlike trance. The drug is highly
addictive, and after only two uses, the user must make a DC 16
Cons. Save or become addicted. Addicts lapse into the dreamlike
trance stated above until their next exposure to the drug or until
cured of addiction.
● Tekkil
o A succulent swamp plant with fat red leaves, which when chewed,
function as an analgesic drug. Initially no effect, but after a few
minutes, the user becomes almost entirely fearless, gaining +5 to
Wisdom and Intelligence Saves against fear, and becoming immune
to the Frightened effect for the next 1d20+10 minutes. Drug also
grants a -5 penalty to all Dexerity saves for the next 1d4 hours.
Overdose occurs with second dose during the original duration and
causes halved movement speed for 2d4 hours as well as the
negative Dexterity side-effect.
● Tempin
o A bushy climbing vine with tubular yellow flowers, the leaves and
flowers of tempin can be boiled and made into a poultice that will
draw out poisons from bites and stings and allow the wound to
heal cleanly and without complications. (When poultice is applied
promptly, gives an additional +2 to Cons. Saves vs. poison, once on
any particular poison attack. Also gives back 1 extra hit point for
every short rest for the first 2 days after poultice is applied.)
● Tephrosia
o Temperate Forests
o Tephrosia consists of a small woody stem, with fern like leaves
along its length, and the plant is topped by several small flowers
(or in summer, seedpods). Either the flowers or the seeds may be
boiled in water and then drunk to calm the recipient. This is very
useful when a person is delirious, or otherwise insane. It also has
a mild pain relieving effect and may be given to the wounded or
injured. The seedpods are more effective than the flowers and may
also be dried. This herb is mildly addictive and should be used
with care (DC 11 Cons. Save, addiction causes mild insomnia,
turning long rests into short rests).
● Terbas
o Tropical Plains
o The leaf of this plant must be applied to the site of nerve damage
or consumed to fix brain damage. If successful, the rate of healing
for such damage will be doubled on each day of use.
● Tereeka Root
o Temperate Rivers and Coastal
o Slimy white tuber with a bitter taste, native to shaded, sandy
ground in temperate climates. After chewing it for one minute a
creature to can fight until they reach -5 hit points and can then
only regain health while resting as if under the care of a healer for
the next 12 hours.
● Thalsen Weed
o A tough yellowish stalk that grows stiff triangle shaped leaves, the
weed is despised throughout the Dalelands and Cormyr. Some
believe the weed to have been magically created, as it grows from
seed to mature adult in a matter of days, often seeming to appear
instantaneously. Once the weed reaches maturity, it produces a
small cluster of white flowers. The petals of the flowers are coated
with a dusty powder that causes a slight rash if it comes into
contact with the skin. These petals are sometimes picked to create
Itching Powder (When coming into contact with bare flesh, the
victim must make a Constitution saving throw, DC 13, or begin
itching for the next 2d4 hours, or until the powder is washed off.).
The rapidly growing weed is said to overcome crops nearly
overnight, choking out carefully planted fields, and destroying
months of work. Most livestock also refuse to eat the weed, with
the exception of goats. Thus, many farmers that live in areas where
Thalsen Weed thrives also keep a small number of goats that they
let wander in the outer edges of their lands.
● Thanalayla
o Tropical Forests
o A long stalk covered in small thorns and ending in a thick bulb,
the plant hangs down from the branches of other trees. The
thanalalya is a predatory plant, the stalks have their roots
embedded in branches of trees, yet they cause no harm to their
host tree. The plant instead secretes a sicky resin that smells
musky and attracts insects and small birds. Smaller insects are
trapped in the resin, while the stalk curls around birds that would
be capable of breaking free of the resin, gripping and impaling
them with the thorns. The resin slowly dissolves the prey,
providing nutrients to the thanalalya. The thanalayla, according to
wives’ tales, also wards off lesser fey. This may be a rumor because
pixies are rumored to hate thanalayla because they can also get
caught in its sticky resin.
● Thelmallow Flower
o A floating plant that inhabits marshes and swamps, the plant
produces wide, waxy leaves that arc minutely out of the water,
which are often the haven for mosquitos. The plant also buds large
pale flowers with ragged petals that attract swamp flies. Grinding
up the flower creates a paste which is used to create Spellslayer
wine. Although the wine is quite refreshing, tasty, and light, it also
reduces the magical ability of spellcasters, causing a permanent
decrease to the amount of spell slots available at a given level (at
the DM’s discretion).
● Thistledown
o A very tall strain of thistle, growing often to 8 feet tall or more, can
be harvested for the fibers within the central stalk. These fibers
can be turned into a silken fabric by elves that can be worked into
armor to make it easier to move in, increasing AC by 1 and
increasing movement speed by 5 feet. Crafting with thistledown
requires master leveling training from an elven craftsperson or a
nature check of 25+.
● Thornapple
o This is a small ground hugging plant. Its seeds are about a quarter
of an inch in diameter, and are covered in small thorns. A single
seed is very effective as a minor pain reliever. It will ease small
pains, such as headaches or minor muscular pains for 3d4 hours.
The pain relief is almost instantaneous.
● Throw-Waxe
o Temperate Plains
o This herb will heal any scars in as little as a month if applied on a
weekly basis.
● Thurl
o Arctic and Desert Mountains
o The clove of Thurl must be brewed for one whole day. When the
mixture is drunk it will restore 1 hit point and grant the user 5
points of free damage from fire and cold damage.
● Thyme
o Thyme can grow up to a foot in height. It has tiny dark green
leaves, and is an evergreen. In spring it has many sweet scented
mauve flowers. The smell is so strong that the herb is often smelt
before it is seen. These flowers must be dried and then mixed with
fresh, clear water to produce an antiseptic lotion. This lotion can
then be applied to infected wounds.
● Torchstalk
o Non-magical mushroom that can serve as a torch. Takes 1d4-1
minutes to ignite, but burns for 24 hours shedding bright
illumination in 10 ft radius. Has a sub-species that explodes into
chocking spores after 30 seconds of burning, requiring anyone
within 20 ft to make a DC 15 Constitution save to negate 1d10
poison damage. DC 18 Nature allows differentiation between the
two types.
● Torment Toadstool
o Large blue mushrooms found in swamps all over Faerun, most
people are careful not to step on the toadstools. Some villagers go
out to harvest the mushrooms in order to make a particularly
earthy tasting ale. Those that step on the toadstool causes it to
rupture and release a cloud of spores within a 5-ft radius. Those
that inhale the spores must make a DC 11 Consituion saving
throw or become incapacitated while vomiing for the next minute.
● Troll Poppy
o A bright blue poppy flower commonly used to bribe trolls for safe
passage through a monster-filled area. Trolls go wild for these
flowers and will eat them as soon as they lay eyes on them. Usually
found in large patches in open fields, 2d8 flowers can be harvested
per 5 foot by 5 foot area. In addition to their use with trolls, the
petals of troll poppies can be dried, crumbled, and smoked. When
smoked, user will not be able to rest or sleep for the next 6d4
hours. During this time, the user can never lose consciousness
unless dead, not from exhaustion, magical sleep, or poisons.
● Trueroot
o Temperare Forests
o A legendary sapling that is said to have been accidentally created
during a series of experiments involving the repeated grafting of
various magically enhanced roots onto treants, from which seeds
were planted to create saplings that were then grafted with each
other and so on. The trueroot saplings are said to have pulled
magical energy from an unknown place, and this magical energy
could be channeled into other plants to accelerate their growth to
be 10 times faster, or be channeled by spellcasters to give perfect
health and “almost limitless spellcasting”. The trueroot died after
small cutting were taken to propagate it and there have been no
known successes in recreating it.
● Twilight Birch
o The bark of this tree is a pale white, and quite smooth. The leaves
of the tree are small, waxy and dark, and spend the day curled
tightly, only to open at night. During colder months the tree
sprouts small purple flowers that blossom at night. Legend says
that the trees first erupted from the ground during a fight between
an avatar of Shar, and an avatar of Selune. During the fight the
avatar of Shar was wounded, and where her drops of her blood fell
upon several saplings, they were forever changed. It has been
noted that the trees were once found more commonly in places
where the Shadow Weave was most prominent. The wood is soft
and flexible when first cut, but hardens over the course of several
days, allowing craftsmen to work easily on freshly cut wood to
easily create ornate pieces. Once hardened, the wood retains the
shape it was crafted into. The wood is often used to create
furniture such as elaborately carved chairs, tables, and desks.
Additionally, the wood is used to crat intricately detailed scepters,
wands, and staves, and a wooden weapon made of Twilight Birch is
said to do extra damage to celestials (+3 force damage to
successful against celestials). In addition, when a magical item is
crafted using Twilight Birch, and used to cast a Death or Trickery
Domain spell (even if used by non-Clerics), it allows the spell to be
cast one level higher without using a higher level spell slot. This
ability can be used once per long rest, and only at night.
● Twilight Green
o Distant belladonna relative, DC 16 Cons. Save to negate 2d8
poison damage if ingested. If used by a spellcaster during a spell
that causes life drain, it increases damage by 1 point per spell
level.
● Tyrant’s Sword
o Coarse grass with broad sharp leaves with silver edges that grows
to 2-ft in height. Sporadically found in tundra and temperate
plains, it grows slowly and doesn't compete well against other
grasses. It can be made into Frost Lotion, Medicine Check of 12+,
to heal 2d4 points of cold damage.
U
● Umanhunan
o Tropical Forests
o A tall tree that grows branches high off of the ground, the bushy
leaves are dark green on the underside, and a very pale shade on
top. The bark of the tree is rough and mottled between dark red
and light brown. Locals often burn boughs of the tree to Azul, in
hopes of bringing rainfall. Breathing in the fumes of burning
Umanhunan leaves causes mild hallucinations and euphoria.
● Umozokai Flower
o Desert, Temperate, and Tropical Coastal Mountains
o This hardy plant grows on the seaward side of many cliffs, looking
out over the ocean. The vine clings to the rocks, and the broad
fluffy leaves gather moisture from the wind. During the warmer
months, the plant -lowers, producing long, sharp yellow petals
tinged with crimson on the edges. Tea made from the -lower petals
is highly sought after, as it includes a wide variety of medicinal
uses. Some nobles believe that drinking a single cup of Umozokai
Tea a day ensures longevity.
● Ur
o The leafy, verdant Ur can be used as a substitute for one day’s
food. It cannot be used for more than three days or a character will
begin to suffer -2 to all statistics. When any statistic is less than 3
the character become comatose, when any statistic reaches 0 they
die. A character will regain 1 statistic point per day with food and
medical care, but will remain incapacitated until all statistics
reach normal levels.
V
● Valerian
o Temperate Plains
o Valerian grows to a height of about 3 feet, and has one hollow
furrowed stem. It has large, pale green, serrated leaves along the
length of this stalk which slits into flowers stems with small pink
flowers at its top. The root is the useful part of this plant and
should be grated into boiling water and the resulting infusion
drunk in order to ease the spasms of somebody who is subject to
fits. A successful application will stop all fits for 1d12 hours. The
scent of the bruised or cut root also can be used to attract rats.
According to some versions of the legend, the Pied Piper of Hamlin
used this herb to lead the rats from the town.
● Vaundyr Vine
o A thorny, thin vine that grows in wetter areas such as swamps and
jungles. The waxy leaves are ground to create Alarvaun, a
component for Spellslayer wine.
● Verdant Goeleth
o Arctic and Temperate Plains and Forests
o A large, pink vine fruit about the size of a small watermelon.
Commonly pressed and fermented to create a dwarvish wine called
Woebegetter Wine. This wine has the strange side-effect of allowing
the drinker to hear the thoughts of anyone in a 5-mile radius of
themselves that has been drinking Woebegetter Wine in the past 6
hours. This can be really useful if you're trying to coordinate a
silent attack, and it can be dreadful if the people you're attacking
are also drinking Woebegetter Wine, but keeping their thoughts
mute so that you don't know that they know what you're doing.
The effects last for 1d20 minutes per cup.
● Vinuk
o If this herb is given to an unconscious person, it will immediately
awaken the person. It will only wake up a person who is
unconscious due to alcohol or fainting etc., not that caused by
physical damage. And just because the person is conscious does
not mean that they are coherent.
● Violet Slime
o Tropical Swamps
o Lurking on the surface of stagnant pools of water deep in the
marshes, this slime is deadly to those that are caught unaware.
Noticing the shimmer of violet indicating the slime lingering on the
surface requires a DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) skill check. While
entering the pool the slime remains inert, but once the victim
emerges from the pool, the slime clings to them. The slime
becomes highly corrosive when removed from the pool and inflicts
2d6 acid damage per round until it is washed off with water or
exposed to bright light or fire. The corrosion only damages organic
material, thus ignoring metal armor.
● Vipervine
o A hanging, invasive vine that grows through the upper canopies of
swamps and tropical jungles that sprout thing, curly leaves,
slightly resembling a hanging snake. Viper Weed is slightly
poisonous and causes auditory hallucinations if too much is
smoked, and will also cause a person to get sick, identical illness
to food poisoning. Some have said that the hallucinations tell
secrets about the company you keep, but others have thrown that
away as untrue.
● Visma Paste
o Tropical bush with dark broad leaves, which when made into a
paste can soothe burns, i.e. heal 1d4 points of non-lethal damage
sustained from heat exposure. It also grants a +2 bonus on the
next save of any stat made against fire.
● Vodare
o Powder drug made from a tiny purple flower that grows on graves
of Rallaster worshippers, Initial +2 bonus to Intimidate and Cons.
Saves against fear for 1d4 hours. Secondary effect of -4 penalty to
Persuasion and Deception for 2d4 hours. Overdose if additional
dose within 4 hours of the first ingestion DC 15 Constitution Save
or Petrified.
W
● Waterorb
o Temperate Coastal
o Bulbous aquatic fungus that grows in boulder-like patches in some
seaside areas and tidal pools. Can be used a source of fresh
drinking water near the ocean.
● Waxworm
o A strange and small plant that is often found growing on rotting
logs and animal droppings, the plant lacks much of a root system.
The leaves are small and curled around the flowering part of the
plant. Once the plant reaches maturity, the leaves fall away to
reveal tightly curled pale flowers that appear to be large maggots to
the untrained eye. Birds often eat the -lowers, thus spreading the
seeds far and wide. Grinding the flowers into paste and boiling
them produces a waxy substance which woodworkers can use to
seal their work from moisture. Painters also seek out the
substance, as it causes the colors to resist fading over the years.
● Weeping Tree
o A species of deciduous tree that closely resembles oak, the weeping
trees are often left alone while other nearby trees are cut down to
use as timber, as strong superstitions surround the tree. One tale
speaks of a nature demigoddess long since forgotten being
banished to inhabit the trees after losing a battle with Mielikki.
Another speaks of a powerful druid sacrificing herself to save the
forest, and her ghost lives on within the branches of the weeping
trees. During autumn the trees begin losing their leaves and
dropping their seeds, which is what creates the sound the trees are
known for. Each seed has a small petal, which is shaped in such a
way that when it falls it creates a sound similar to a person softly
crying. As the trees often grow in clusters and they drop several
thousand seeds each, over the course of a few weeks in autumn it
sounds as if the trees are constantly weeping.
● Weirwood
o Temperate Forests
o Rare oak-like tree with leaves that are a silver-sheen brown on top
and velvet black on the underside, often protected by Dryads and
Treants. Can grow huge and many-branched, will not burn from
non-magical fire, and imparts a warm clear tone to musical
instruments made from it. It can replace oak or holly in any spell,
and living Weirwood has quadruple fire resistance (no means to
preserve this quality after harvesting is known). Weirwood within
the illumination radius of a magical light source emits light as a
candle for 1d4+1 rounds after leaving the area.
● White Byrony
o This climbing vine has greenish white star shaped flowers, each
bearing five petals, and has green berries which turn red when
ripe. It has a root, something like a huge turnip, and this root
should be ground up and boiled in water and drunk as a cure for
pneumonia.
● Whitecandle
o A tall, flowered plant with silvery-green leaves. When the flowers
are mixed with water or wine and applied directly to a wound, they
act as a painkiller. (Restores 1d4 immediately, but these points are
lost as the effect wears off in 2 hours Further applications before
the previous one has worn off are ineffective.)
● Whistling Cactus
o Deserts
o Growing on the edges of the desert are these pale green cacti with
long yellow spines. The cactus grows as a single cylindrical body,
and when moisture is abundant the cactus will sprout several
purple flowers near the top. After the flowers wither and fall off,
they leave deep holes in the surface of the cactus. When the desert
winds pass over these holes, they resonate at an unusual
frequency that creates an eerie sound that can be heard for over a
mile. Many nomadic tribes will avoid areas near the cactus,
believing the plants to hold the souls of the damned that howl for
eternity.
● Wild Fireclover
o Brilliant orange-red summer-flower found in temperate plains and
farmland. Crushed petals give of a lovely smell for 1 week. The
stem can be made into a substance called Mindfire, which when
added to an ingested poison, imposes a -2 penalty to Cons. Saves
to those who fail a save against the poison, and forces casters to
make concentration checks (DC 15 + spell level) to cast spells.
● Wildwood (Saelas)
o Tropical Forests
o A flexible wood that can be worked into armor (counts as
masterwork, +1 AC, Dex +1, negates stealth disadvantage on heavy
armor styles). Wildwood heals a point of damage over 24 hours if
exposed to sunlight for at least 1 hour, or, heals 5 points if also left
to soak in water for 8 hours. Cost is double that of ordinary
masterwork equivalent, but crating time is unaffected, and crafting
requires craft (woodworking).
● Willow-Herb
o Temperate Plains and Swamps
o The plant grows to about three feet in height. It has long hairy
leaves and large purplish-pink flowers. The smoke of this herb will
keep away snakes and other minor vermin. One dose burns for
about five minutes.
● Winclamit
o Tropical Forests
o Each Winclamit tree bears but one fruit per year. When this fruit is
eaten it will restore 1d100 hit points to the recipient. The fruit can
be stored for up to 2 months in a dry sealed container.
● Windwhip Tree
o Growing in small clumps in vast open plains, the tree grows
straight up until it splits into thousands of willowy branches. Each
of these branches are thin and whiplike, and are covered in small
clumps of light green leaves and small red thorns. The bark of the
tree is dark brown with lighter brown spots around the base of the
tree. When the wind blows across the plains, the flexible branches
and trunk bend far over. When the wind suddenly abates, the
trunk abruptly snaps back into place, and the flexible branches
make a popping noise not unlike the crack of a whip. This also
causes the tree to fling their seeds far and wide. While the
springiness of the wood makes it unacceptable to use for most
construction, it has been known to be used in ballistae.
● Witchweed
o A plant whose leaves and stalks can be refined into a paste, which
is then rolled into a smokestick of sorts that creates 10 ft cube of
light smoke (no concealment) that forces casters to make a
concentration check as if casting defensively or lose the spell. The
smoke is effective for 30 seconds.
● Wittlewort
o Herb with green gossamer-like fronds which, due to its rapid
growth cycle, is found only in the spring in temperate, subtropical
or tropical areas. Deters slugs and other pests. If powdered, it can
be made into Wittlewort brew, which grants those under Charm
effects another saving throw (if the effect allowed one).
● Wizard Hats
o Underdark/Caves
o A small conical mushroom that grows in the Underdark. The stem
of the mushroom is pale white, and the cap is generally light
orange to dark ochre in color, and sometimes covered in spots.
Drow often collect the mushroom, as even though it is bitter while
it is still fresh, cooking the fungus over an open flame causes it to
shrink and take on a surprisingly meaty flavor. Some dark elf
matrons send out foraging parties to harvest the mushroom so
that it can be prepared for feasts.
● Wolfsbane
o Temperate Plains
o This small (15-cm) plant has black green leaves, sawed deeply
several times, and three flower stalks with tiny white flowers and
brown seed pods. The flowers can be crushed into dust and carried
in the pocket to have the effect of granting a +2 on a Constitution
saving throw vs poison to avoid lycanthropy. The protection lasts
for 2d4 x 10 minutes and makes tracking from lycanthropes
harder. In addition, the seeds can be consumed (DC 20 Cons.
Save) to fully avoid the repercussions of lycanthropy.
● Wolfweed
o Similar in appearance to Wolfsbane, this plant can be made into a
substance called Journeyman Serum, which provides a +2 bonus
on constitution checks to avoid damage from a forces march
● Woodrose
o If drunk in wine, this herb cause people to become very merry.
Anyone who wishes to resist its effect can do so, if they make a DC
19 Cons. Save vs poison.
● Wood Sorrel
o This is a small plant with leaves in three parts, like a shamrock.
The flowers are bell shaped and are white with a dash of blue. The
leaves must be crushed and dried for two weeks before use. This
herb keeps people cool. It is obviously invaluable in desert regions.
It doubles the person’s ability to endure heat effects, but does not
counteract dehydration, etc.
● Wormwood
o The effects of this herb last for two hours. During this time the
character can function at -10 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 color. 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 herb 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, healing an additional 2d6 during the next short rest to
whoever the antiseptic is applied to). 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 color.
X
● Xitluchi
o A twisted bramble of branches, growing small clusters of stiff pale
leaves, and covered in sharp thorns, the bush grows deep within
jungles and forests. The roots of the bush are often exposed to the
air, and are a favored nesting place for snakes and small vermin.
Legend has it that the goddess Wail was once walking through the
forest, draped in a fine robe made of dreams and sewn with
threads of silver. Passing along, the robe was caught by a
particular bush, tearing the robe and causing it to spill dreams
into the wind. Becoming angered by the action, and the loss of
dreams, Wail cursed the bush, causing it to transform into a
twisted mockery of what it once was, and to be covered in thorns.
However, the dream-related magic surrounding the plant remains.
Consumption of the leaves in a pale tea leads to vivid and guiding
dreams for 1d4 days afterward.
Y
● Yagdav Bush
o Arctic and Temperate Plains and Forests
o A rather robust bush covered with waxy stiff leaves, the Yagdav is
prominent in the north, and sometimes used as topiary decoration.
During the warmer months the bush grows small yellow flowers.
The flower petals are often dried and ground to make a tea that
promotes fertility to couples that are having difficulty conceiving.
The female is instructed to drink the tea every morning upon first
awakening.
● Yaran
o The pollen of this flower must be inhaled. A successful roll means
that a person’s sense of smell and of taste are doubled for one hour
(advantage on perception checks for this period of time). The herb
must still be growing or have been cut in the last 10 minutes.
● Yarpick (Daggerthorn)
o A type of tree that grows small fruit whose seeds are nourishing
both whole and as ground meal. The fruit are protected by long,
thin, razor-sharp thorns approximately 3 inches long. These
thorns have use as sewing needles, blow-darts, and as tiny
daggers.
● Yarrow
o Temperate Plains
o The small white flowers of this herb, which cluster at the top of its
one to two feet tall straight stem, should be crushed and applied to
wounds. If successfully used it will stop minor bleeding, and
reduce major bleeding to the minor level. A second application can
then be used to stop the minor bleeding. According to legend
Achilles used yarrow to treat wounded Greek troops during the
Trojan War. The successful application of Yarrow grants an
additional +4 to hit points regained during a short rest.
● Yavethalion
o Temperate and Tropical Mountains and Plains
o A small, groundcover shrub that sprouts tiny yellow flowers in
spring which then turn to tiny yellow berries during summer
months. 2d20 berries can be harvested from one plant. When the
fruit is eaten, it will restore 1d4-1 hit points to the recipient.
Yavethalion keeps for only two weeks.
● Young Lad’s Love
o Young lad's love is a 3 to 5-foot-tall shrub with many branches
that resemble small trees. It has small yellow-white flowers, and
green feathery leaves, which smell of lemon. These leaves turn a
rich orange-brown in late autumn. The flowers should be crushed
and placed into a poultice, to be used. A successful application will
cure one small area of frostbite, such as a foot or hand, in 2d4
hours.
● Ylam Tree
o Found in many deserts, the Ylam Tree is a short, stout evergreen
that survives on very little amounts of water and maintains its
internal moisture using a thick red sap. Imbibing a sufficient
quantity of this so-called 'Ylam blood' or ‘blood of glory’ induces a
frenzy of aggressive emotions which are especially strong in the
heat of battle, leading to a berserk rage. Combatants under the
influence of the blood of glory gain a +1 to hit and +2 to damage,
but suffer a -3 penalty to armor class, due to the reckless abandon
induced by the fluid for 2d6 hours after consumption.
Z
● Zalanthar
o Also called blackwood or darkwood in the North, the bark of the
tree ranges from the color of pitch to a dark ash. The tree itself
actually is comprised of an extensive root system, from which a
number of trunks sprout to the heavens. While the trunk and
branches are extremely dark, the leaves of the tree are pale grey
and white, often giving the branches an appearance of glowing in
the moonlight. The trees are often harvested for their precious
darkwood, which has the sturdiness of other hard woods, but is
favored because it only weighs half as much. Darkwood weapons
and shields are often very light and worked only by the most
skilled of craftsmen, both properties that cause such goods to be
quite expensive. Wizards of the South favor darkwood when
constructing rods, wands, and staves (shields made of darkwood
grant +2 AC and +1 to stealth checks made while holding the
shield). Since zalanthar requires masterwork, it requires training
or high knowledge of nature in order to work with.
● Zulsendra
o Arctic Mountains
o When this mushroom is eaten, it doubles a person’s rate of
movement, and rate of attack for three rounds, imposing
advantage on rolls to hit. At the end of that time the person must
make a DC 16 Cons. Save versus poison or collapse in exhaustion
for 1d6 turns.
● Zur
o Underdark/Caves
o This fungus must be brewed for six hours. A successful roll means
that a person’s senses of smell and of hearing are doubled for one
hour. (Advantage on perception rolls based on smell or hearing.)
● Zurkhwood
o Underdark/Caves
o Giant 30-40 ft high mushroom. Has large spores that can be eaten
as bread if baked properly, and its hardy stalks serve as an
Underdark substitute for wood.
