Herbal Remedies are fluid mixtures or salves that have magical healing properties. They are generally made with very little magic, using only what is required to enhance the natural properties of the ingredients. Herbal Remedies can usually be purchased for 10 gp per dose. If a given Herbal Remedy costs more, it will be listed in the item’s description.
To create an Herbal Remedy, a character must have a mortar and pestle and a small bowl or pot for boiling and/or mixing the ingredients. The character starts off using 1 fluid ounce of clear water and the choicest parts of the appropriate plants (requires a Craft: Herbcraft skill roll, TN 20, to know what plants are required for each remedy). It takes 40 + 2d10 minutes to create an Herbal Remedy and at the end of the time, the character adds 1 dram of Essential Salts and makes a Magecraft: Alchemy skill roll (TN 20) in order to activate the magical properties of the remedy. Once prepared, the remedy must be used or stored in an appropriate air-tight container within 10 minutes or it will lose its potency. So long as it is in an air-tight container, it will remain potent.
