Introduction

About the Herb Encounter List

This list is a supplement for The Guide to Herbs for RPG's, 5th Edition [Shaun Hately]. He generously gave me permission to distribute my Herb Encounter List. If there are any questions, feel free to email me on Frank.Hansen@im.uib.no

Herb Encounters

After having used Shaun Hately's guide to herbs a while, I became convinced that herb collecting is determined by chance. The herbalist takes what he finds. Even if he is looking for a specific herb, he might find something totally different. This system randomly generates a number of herbs found from your proficiency check. By rolling a d100 you know what herbs you found. Some herbs that have little use because of the current rules in AD&D where deleted from the list. This includes herbs that stop bleeding.

The Modifier

Intuitively, one should think there is more chance to find an herb in a temperate forest than in a dry desert. Therefore a modifier was added for each locale. The modifier is calculated from the total availability of herbs in a locale divided by 250 percent (when total availability more than 100%) or the inverse of the availability multiplied by -2,5 percent (when total availability less than 100%).

The Percentages

The relative percentage is calculated for each herb. These values are added on top of each other, so that a percent range represents each herb.

How to Use

The modifier is added to the proficiency check of the herbalist. The number of herbs found is the difference between the proficiency check and the roll divided by two. For each herb found roll d100 to see which herb is found. If there are only one herb, you find it if you make your proficiency check (hence you don't roll d100). On a natural 1 you will always find at least one herb.

The Time Used Searching

The standard time used is two hours, or ruled by the GM. After standard time has passed the herbalist can find no more herbs in that area until a week has passed. If the herbalist spends half the standard time, then the penalty should be half the proficiency score, and so on. If an herbalist with rating 12 spend 30 minutes (one fourth of the standard time) searching for herbs in a temperate forest in summertime (mod. +4), his check should be (proficiency (12) + modifier (4))*(Used time (1/2) / Standard time (2)) = 4. If he rolls two, he has made the check with two points; hence he will find one herb. If he had spent two hours searching, his check would be (12 + 4)*(Used time (2) / Standard time (2))=16. If he had rolled a two this time also, he would have made his check with fourteen and found seven herbs!

Between Two Areas

Optional rule. When between to locales, add together the modifiers for both locales and divide by two. Odd numbers on the d100 roll is for herbs in the locale you came from and even numbers is for the locale you are going to.
