Isn't hunting and cooking a general skill that ll characters have?

t(0.o)t ((That's me honestly trying to make an emote where i'm rubbing my temples not flicking anyone off))

Okay, switch training with herbalist. That way i can analyze plants, pick them, make painkiller potions, and sell them. While keeping a few for myself obviously.

If he does that last one, can't I just put both potion and poison making into one skill? And get extra out of it? :/

I remember Blitz telling me no because they're two separate skills, but if there's a skill accepted that combines two of mine and gives me more stuff, I'd like to swap those out for it and get another skill.

Potions and Poisons are 2 different things.

They use different ingredients in different ways they can't be combined.

Herbalism seems to be knowledge of plants from what he's saying, and since he's adding potion making into that...
It's really just the two skills in one thing, plus being able to identify them.
Which is how many games handle it.

[PewdsRocks]

Herbalism would just be potion making under a different name. It would still need poison making as a separate skill.

If that's the case, then my potion making skill should give me the plant identifying thing he's getting, so...
That's my main point. He was getting a skill that was basically "My Skill+".

Now watch as I force you to overdose on HP potions.
Potion sickness is a feature in some games.

No herbalism is gathering plants, it has nothing to do with potion creation.

Although it might cover poultices, which would be limited to healing and removing nonmagical debuffs, you wouldnt get ironskin effects or anything like that.

Herbalism is the use and study of plants for medicine. Knowledge of poisonous effects of plants would come from knowledge of their other effects.

That's just from a quick look see.

How about a leather crafter? I kill animals, take their leather, and then make back packs/shoes/other needed items for people and myself.

[PewdsRocks]

Go for it.

You need to update it all into your sheet.

[3man75]

So herbalism how i said it would work or the leather?

[Unholy_Pariah]

Way to completely miss my point and quote my argument back to me.

Herbalism = plants
Potion making = plants + other alchemically useful substances.

Yes herbalism can make healing poultices and herbal teas and stuff, but you arent gonba be able to use medusa eyes and other fun shit like that.

Can i come up with hallucigens?

Than roll them up to be magi roots? You know fantasy marijuana because you know some people can't go without that stuff when being stuck in a fucked up world that's trying to kill you.

[Unholy_Pariah]

Well marijuana is a plant so if its actually in the game...

Than i can manufacture and sell it out to my fellow humans, who just want to have a sweet hour of two of relaxation...or if i don't like them i'll "gift" them one with poison.
