Poisoner’s Tools Basic Use Difficulty Table

Research Base Cost

The base cost is just that, a starting point.  If the researcher is taking an existing uncommon poison and only slightly improving or changing it and does not warrant a full rarity change, then the cost would be somewhere between the two rarity levels.  All the costs are suggested values for existing poisons and their rarities. There is not a straight formula since poisons are graded by rarity instead of spell levels, but the end cost does follow the same progression.

Poison Creation Research Point Cost Table

Research Point Reductions

Only one of the two existing poison/formula reductions may be used for any specific formula creation.

Existing Poison: If the researcher has on hand another poison that is very similar and it can be used as an exemplar starting point, then a reduction up to 25% of the total Research Points needed can be applied to the cost. The poison that is used for this is also consumed during the process.

Existing Formula: If the Poisoner has a full formula created by someone else, there is a 50% reduction of the total research points required to create the spell.  While it might be a formula, it most likely will not be accurate or missing brewing idiosyncrasies of the poisoner that created that formula, therefore requiring the formula to be validated through additional research.

Facility: If there is a dedicated facility for the research and creation of alchemy formulas, then up to 25% of the cost can be reduced by expending facility points to replace the research points.  See the facilities rules for more details.

Poison Formula Creation Completion

Once the poisoner has collected enough Research Points it is time to put together the formula and test it.  There is no benefit in expending more Research Points or gold pieces once the minimum has been met, these would just go to waste since they will not impact the final DC. The Research Points that will be used for completing the project are spent and lost and are not recoverable. The creator will make an Alchemy Supplies skill roll. No other modifiers or advantage chances can be applied to this roll.  It can only be a straight roll. 

Once again, if the product being created is a slightly improved version of an existing poison, but not sufficiently to increase the rarity, the DC will increase as the average of the two rarity DCs as selected by the DM. If the roll is equal to or greater than the listed DC, the poison formula has been created and can be considered entered into the Poisoner’s formula book.

Poison Formula Creation Success Table

Poison Creation

Now that the alchemist has created a formula, now it is time to start brewing some up. For each single dose of poison to be created will require a certain amount of ingredients as well as a difficulty check. The listed required ingredients are only the minimum and should include additional ingredients depending on the type of poison being created.

Poison Creation Table

Poisons

Given their insidious and deadly nature, poisons are illegal in most societies but are a favorite tool among assassins, drow, and other evil creatures.

Poisons come in the following four types.

Contact: Contact poison can be smeared on an object and remains potent until it is touched or washed off. A creature that touches contact poison with exposed skin suffers its effects.

Ingested: A creature must swallow an entire dose of ingested poison to suffer its effects. The dose can be delivered in food or a liquid. You might decide that a partial dose has a reduced effect, such as allowing advantage on the saving throw or dealing only half damage on a failed save.

Inhaled: These poisons are powders or gasses that take effect when inhaled. Blowing the powder or releasing the gas subjects’ creatures in a 5-foot cube to its effect. The resulting cloud dissipates immediately afterward. Holding one’s breath is ineffective against inhaled poisons, as they affect nasal membranes, tear ducts, and other parts of the body.

Injury: Injury poison can be applied to weapons, ammunition, trap components, and other objects that deal piercing or slashing damage. An injury poison typically lasts 1 minute on a weapon and lasts for up to 5 hits. A creature that takes piercing or slashing damage from an object coated with the poison is exposed to its effects.

Poison Types and their Rarity Table

Common Poisons

Assassins Blood (ingested): A creature subjected to this poison must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 6 (1d12) poison damage and is poisoned for 24 hours. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and isn’t poisoned.

Dizzying Touch (Contact): Applied to an object. The first creature that touches must make a constitution saving throw with a DC equal to the crafter’s Poison DC. On failure, the creature becomes poisoned for one minute. While poisoned in this way, they must succeed a Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of their turns or fall prone.

Deadly Nightshade (Ingested): This poisonous herb has a sweet taste. One minute after a creature is subjected to this (ingested) poison, it takes 3 (1d6) poison damage and must make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is poisoned for 1 hour. At the end of that hour, it takes 3 (1d6) poison damage and must repeat the saving throw. When a creature takes damage from this poison, its maximum hit points are reduced by the same amount until it is no longer poisoned.

Dreamlily (Ingested): A psychoactive liquid that smells and tastes like your favorite beverage, the essence of dreamlily is a Sarlonan opiate. First imported to help manage pain during the Last War, it’s now the most abused substance in Sharn. Though dreamlily isn’t illegal if used for medicinal purposes, it’s heavily taxed, and thus most dreamlily is smuggled in and sold on the black market. Dreamlily dens can be found across the lower wards. Consuming dreamlily causes disorienting euphoria and brings about remarkable resistance to pain. A creature under the effects of dreamlily is poisoned for one hour. While poisoned in this way, the creature is immune to fear, and the first time it drops to 0 hit points without being killed outright, it drops to one hit point instead. A dose of dreamlily costs around 1gp, or up to ten times that if purchased through legal channels. There are many varieties of the drug, however, and the duration or the price might vary accordingly.

Hemlock (Ingested): This poisonous herb has a slightly sweet flavor. One minute after a creature is subjected to this (ingested) poison, it takes 2 (1d4) poison damage and must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is poisoned for 1 hour and paralyzed while it is poisoned. At the end of that hour, it takes 2 (1d4) poison damage and must repeat the saving throw.

On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and isn’t poisoned.

A creature sleeping in this way doesn’t require food or drink and doesn’t age. This effect can only be ended by greater restoration cast at 7th level or higher or wish.

Essence of Corruption (Injury): This poisonous dust is created by alchemically combining rare materials from each of the Outer Planes, Inner Planes, and Elemental Planes, following an ancient cosmic formula for brewing pure corruption to all things. A creature subjected to this cosmic (injury) poison must make a DC 21 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 55 (10d10) poison damage, it gains one level of exhaustion, and it is poisoned for 1 minute. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and suffers no other effects. This poison ignores immunity and resistance to poison damage as well as immunity to the poisoned condition.

Necrotic Miasma (Inhaled): This poisonous gas can only be harvested from the Negative Energy Plane using powerful arcane magic. A creature subjected to this (inhaled) poison must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 23 (5d8) poison damage and 28 (8d6) necrotic damage, it gains one level of exhaustion, and it can’t regain hit points for 1 minute. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and suffers no other effects. If the creature has no more than 50 hit points and it can be poisoned, it instantly dies instead of rolling the saving throw.

Yin Yang Toxin (Ingested): This poisonous tincture is created by alchemically combining the blood of a celestial with the blood of a fiend and can only be created in the exact center of the cosmos. Both creatures must have had a challenge rating or level of at least 18 to make the poison. A creature subjected to this (ingested/injury) poison must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 27 (5d10) poison damage and 26 (4d12) force damage, it can’t make attacks until the end of its next turn, and if it is native to a different plane of existence than the one it is on, it is banished with a faint popping noise, returning to its home plane. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and suffers no other effects. When this poison affects a celestial or fiend, it ignores immunity to poison damage.

• Identify Gems: You can identify gems and determine their value immediately.

Jeweler’s Tools Basic Use Difficulty Table

What can a Jeweler Do?

Gemcutting: Most gems, regardless of rarity, are in an unrefined state when extracted from the earth or from a treasure hoard. Luckily, a jeweler is equipped with the skills needed to cut and fashion these gems into their desired shapes. This not only increases the value of the gem itself, but also allows the gem to be used for jewelry and decoration.

Jewelry Smithing: Gemstones that have been prepared can then be used to fashion jewelry to be worn. As a luxury product or adventuring equipment, jewelry holds great value to the average person. Creating jewelry takes time, effort, skill, and resources. The precious metals that jewelers work with carry great value by themselves, making the creation of jewelry quite expensive. This, of course, only increases the value of jewelry, making it that much more desirable to take up the lapidary art.

Socketing Items: Some gems carry a magical property whose benefits in a dangerous situation far exceed those of aesthetic value. These gemstones can instead be used to socket into armor, weapons, shields, or other items to give it magical properties. Preparing a socket in an item is quite difficult and requires a jeweler’s expertise. The rewards, however, are long-lasting benefits to the wearer, and a fortune for the jeweler.

Working as a Jeweler: A jeweler’s work is typically done over the course of up to 8 hours a day, but a jeweler who’s in a hurry may risk exhaustion to work up to 16 hours, but they risk receiving a stack of exhaustion. No jeweler can work beyond 16 hours, as the physical and mental labor is too taxing. The save is a simple DC 10 Constitution saving throw (or skill check, which will be discussed later), increasing by 5 for each successive day that a jeweler’s labor goes beyond 8 hours.

Appraising the Price of Crafted Jewelry and Gems: A cut gemstone set in an amulet fetches a much higher value than an uncut gemstone found in the earth. Likewise, certain metals hold higher value than others, changing the overall cost of the item as a result. The base cost of a piece of jewelry is the sum of the gemstone and the style of jewelry made, multiplied by the Quality of the metal the jewelry uses.

Example:

An uncut azurite is worth 10gp. A ring, meanwhile, has a base value of 25. If it were set in a ring, its base value would be 45gp because the azurite would need to be cut; a cut gemstone is worth twice its base value. Now, if the ring were made of gold, the base price would then be multiplied by 1.5 to reflect its quality. The result, then, would be 67.5gp which would be rounded up to 68gp.

Crafting

For much of the crafting for this skill set and tools, just use the Mundane Crafting rules unless there is something specific that the character wishes to create outside of the normal things.

Herbalism

Herbalism Tools

• RAW Cost: 5gp
• RAW Weight: 3lbs

• QA Artwork Bonus: None.
• Structure Building: N/A.
• Adventuring Utility: Able to craft antidotes in the wild or identify poison plants.

Herbalist’s Limited Alchemy: While herbalism is primarily used for gathering herbs, a creature with proficiency with herbalism kits has a limited proficiency in creating potions in addition to gathering herbs. You can use proficiency with an herbalism kit in place of alchemist’s supplies when creating potions of healing, antidotes, antitoxins, and vials of poison.

When crafting in this way, you use an herbalism kit and proficiency with it in place of alchemist’s supplies. This crafting otherwise works the same as using alchemist’s supplies. You can add additional ingredient modifiers when crafting in this way.

For anything more sophisticated, the Herbalist must either find a formula or research and develop a specific recipe.

Default Recipes

• Common Antidotes
• Common Antivenom
• Basic Poison
• Basic Healing Potion

You also start off with one of these common concoctions:

• Chamomile Tea
• Lemon Verbena Fumes
• Liquid Dwarven Might
• Pepper Balm
• Pink Medicine
• Traveler’s Comfort
• Unholy Mixture

Skill Usage

• Arcana: Your knowledge of the nature and uses of herbs can add insight to your magical studies that deal with plants and your attempts to identify poisons.
• Investigation: When you inspect an area overgrown with plants, your proficiency can help you pick out details and clues that others might miss.
• Medicine: Your mastery of herbalism improves your ability to treat illnesses and wounds by augmenting your methods of care with medicinal plants.
• Nature and Survival: When you travel in the wild, your skill in herbalism makes it easier to identify plants and spot sources of food that others might overlook.
• Identify Plants: You can identify most plants with a quick inspection of their appearance and smell.

Herbalism Kit Basic Use Difficulty Table

Herbal Items

Herbal items include non-magical medicines, salves, poultices, and concoctions made from plants, roots, berries, and other naturally occurring ingredients using special instruments and processes. Generally, the higher the quality, the more potent the herbal item. Herbal items also tend to lose their potency if not used within a certain period of being made. Herbal items may be purchased from herbalists during play who will quickly concoct the desired item. However, because herbal items lose their potency, they cannot be purchased between game sessions. Characters who have proficiency with the herbalism kit can craft herbal items if they know the appropriate recipe by gathering the ingredients during their adventures.

Gathering Ingredients

To gather the ingredients, you must spend at least one hour wandering the local area, searching for appropriate ingredients. During this time, you cannot perform any other tasks, nor can you travel too far in any specific direction and this period does not grant you the benefits for a short rest. Alternatively, you can gather ingredients as a travel activity. This is like foraging except, instead of gathering food and water during a day of travel, you gather the ingredients required to craft an herbal item.

At the end of the gathering period, day of travel, or other period as specified by the DM, make a Wisdom check, and add your proficiency bonus for your use of the herbalism kit.  

You can make one DC 15 Wisdom (Survival / Herbalism Kit) per day to determine if you can find anything that can be harvested. Compare the result to the Harvest Table to determine the maximum number of Harvest Checks you can make. Each harvest takes 1 hour, and you do not need to use the full harvest count.

The base DC is 15, however this can be adjusted, or even impossible, according to the environment. For example, if you’re traveling through Rocky Mountains plant life might be sparser, or non-existent in a stone basement. If you are proficient with an herbalism kit but not Nature, add your proficiency bonus to the check. If you are proficient in Nature and the herbalism kit you gain advantage on this check.

Druids and Rangers roll with advantage on their herbalism check for results.

Harvest Table

Crafting Herbal Items

To craft an herbal item, you must have proficiency in the use of the herbalism kit, and you must know the recipe for the item you wish to craft. After choosing the item you wish to craft, you must gather the required ingredients and then craft the item.

Concoction Types

The harvested plant materials can be transformed into herbal preparations.  Note that none of these concoctions can be used in combat unless specifically mentioned. There are three types of herbal preparations you can choose from:

Salves: These pastes are usually produced by grinding plant material and mixing them with some poultices.  Using a salve takes one action and has a range of touch.  Their effects are instantaneous and affect targeted creatures.

Infusions: These drinks are usually produced by drying, grinding, and boiling plant material to make some sort of tea.  Drinking an infusion takes on action and their effects can last from one to eight hours.

Inhalations: These products require a heat source to produce fumes and enough time for people to breathe it slowly.  You can use inhalation only during a long rest.  Their effects usually last for the current long rest or until the end of the next long rest.

Formula Research Point Cost

The base cost is just that, a starting point.  If the researcher is taking an existing uncommon potion and only slightly improving or changing it and does not warrant a full rarity change, then the cost would be somewhere between the two rarity levels.  All the costs are suggested values for existing potions and their rarities. There is not a straight formula since potions are graded by rarity instead of spell levels, but the end cost does follow the same progression.

Example:

A standard Healing Potion is a Common rarity and heals 2d4+2.  The herbalist wants to create a potion that heals 3d4+3, which is better than the Common one, but not as good as the Uncommon Greater Healing potion.  The Research Point cost should be split between the rarity which would give it a cost of 75 Research Points.

Formula Creation Research Point Cost Table

Research Point Reductions

Only one of the two existing formula reductions may be used for any specific formula creation.

Existing Salve/Infusion/Inhalation: If the researcher has on hand another object that is very similar and it can be used as an exemplar starting point, then a reduction up to 25% of the total Research Points needed can be applied to the cost. The object that is used for this is also consumed during the process.

Existing Formula: If the Herbalist has a full formula created by someone else, there is a 50% reduction of the total research points required to create the spell.  While it might be a formula, it most likely will not be accurate missing or brewing idiosyncrasies of the herbalist that created that formula, therefore requiring the formula to be validated through additional research.

Facility: If there is a dedicated facility for the research and creation of herbalist formulas, then up to 25% of the cost can be reduced by expending facility points to replace the research points.  See the facilities rules for more details.

Formula Creation Completion

Once the herbalist has collected enough Research Points it is time to put together the formula and test it.  There is no benefit in expending more Research Points or gold pieces once the minimum has been met, these would just go to waste since they will not impact the final DC. The Research Points that will be used for completing the project are spent and lost and are not recoverable. The creator will make an Herbalist Kit skill roll. No other modifiers or advantage chances can be applied to this roll.  It can only be a straight roll. 

Once again, if the product being created is a slightly improved version of an existing potion, but not sufficiently to increase the rarity, the DC will increase as the average of the two rarity DCs as selected by the DM.

Example:

A standard Healing Potion is a Common rarity and heals 2d4+2.  The herbalist wants to create a potion that heals 3d4+3, which is better than the Common one, but not as good as the Uncommon Greater Healing potion.  The DC would be (8 + 14 = 22 / 2 = 11) 11.

If the roll is equal to or greater than the listed DC, the potion formula has been created and can be considered entered into the Herbalist formula book. Failure means that the formula was not created, and the herbalist must start again, but in their next attempt the amount of Research Points required is reduced by 50%.

Formula Creation Success Table

Herbalist Creation

Now that the herbalist has created a formula, now it is time to start mixing some up. For each single dose of the concoction to be created will require a certain amount of ingredients as well as a difficulty check. The listed required ingredients are only the minimum and should include additional ingredients depending on the type of potion being created.

The amount of time to make any concoction is shown in the following table:

Concoction Creation Time Table

Concoction Benefits

While any number of concoctions can be used at any moment, only the first one is in effect.  A second one will not be in effect until it is applied after the first one’s duration has ended.

Concoction Creation Failure

If at any time the herbalist rolls a natural one on any of the material creation processes, it blows up in their face.  Roll on the following table to find the results.

Concoction Creation Failure Table

There will be other specific requirements as per the DM looking over the required recipe.

While cooking many times is an exact science much like many other skills, it is nuances of incorporating different flavors that matters the most.  There are also the varied palates of different people and even creatures that might make something taste great to one and like garbage to another. This means that like any other researcher, the cook must experiment and test different combinations of ingredients to make that perfect meal.

Recipe Creation Research Point Cost Table

Research Point Reductions

Only one of the two existing recipe reductions may be used for any specific formula creation.

Existing Recipe: If the researcher has on hand another recipe that is very similar and it can be used as an exemplar starting point, then a reduction up to 25% of the total Research Points needed can be applied to the cost. The recipe that is used for this is also consumed during the process.

Existing Recipe: If the Cook has a full formula created by someone else, there is a 50% reduction of the total research points required to create the spell.  While it might be a formula, it most likely will not be accurate missing brewing idiosyncrasies of the alchemist that created that formula, therefore requiring the formula to be validated through additional research.

Facility: If there is a dedicated facility for the research and creation of recipes, then up to 25% of the cost can be reduced by expending facility points to replace the research points.  See the facilities rules for more details.

Recipe Formula Creation Completion

Once the cook has collected enough Research Points it is time to put the recipe together and test it.  There is no benefit in expending more Research Points or gold pieces once the minimum has been met, these would just go to waste since they will not impact the final DC. The Research Points that will be used for completing the project are spent and lost and are not recoverable. The creator will make a Cook Utensils skill roll. No other modifiers or advantage chances can be applied to this roll. 

Once again, if the product being created is a slightly improved version of an existing recipe, but not sufficiently to increase the rarity, the DC will increase as the average of the two rarity DCs as selected by the DM.

If the roll is equal to or greater than the listed DC, the recipe has been created and can be considered entered in the Cook’s recipe book. Failure means that the recipe was not created, and the recipe must start again, but in their next attempt the amount of Research Points required is reduced by 50%.

Recipe Formula Creation Success Table

Recipe Creation

Now that the cook has created a recipe, it is time to start cooking it. Each recipe normally creates a single meal, but with greater difficulty, the cooks can stretch out the meal to multiple people., but all of them will require a certain amount of special ingredients as well as a difficulty check. The listed required ingredients are only the minimum and should include additional ingredients depending on the type of recipe being created if the DM requires changes.

Recipe Benefits

Any person may only be the recipient of a single recipe bonus oncer per 24-hours.  Consuming the extra delicious food will only fill your belly, but not have any appreciable effect. A character cannot also have two benefits in effect at once, only the first one will be active while the second goes to waste. There is a table summarizing each of the different recipes and most of their benefits, but each one must be checked directly to see if there are any caveats for consuming the meal.

Recipe Failure

Normally, getting a recipe wrong just makes for upset guests and customers. but when working with magical ingredients. there is potential for catastrophic arcane failure. When a creature fails an ability check to cook a magical recipe by five or more, roll on the Cooking Mishaps table to determine what happens to the food.  Note that rolling a one when attempting to make the DC always results in a mishap.

The creature is not aware how wrong their food is until someone eats it. Another creature can notice these imperfections in the food with a DC20 Wisdom (Cooking Utensils) check.

Cooking Mishaps

Animated Food: The food animates, gets up from its dish, and either starts attacking or attempts to escape. The food has the same statistics as a Mud Mephit.

Cursed Food: Creatures that eat cursed food become cursed indefinitely. Choose one of the creature’s ability scores at random. That creature gains disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws using that ability until the curse is lifted.

Explosive Food: Creatures that eat this food will find it explode in their mouth dealing 3d10 fire damage to them.

Illusory Food: The food becomes an illusion. The dish or vessel holding it remains real and can move the illusion with it. but the actual food becomes a Programmed Illusion mimicking steam and smell. Interacting with the food reveals it to be an illusion as matter passes through it. The illusion disappears after one hour.

Inverse Food: The food has the opposite of the intended effect. Food that heals instead harms, food that grants improved sight instead blinds. and food that grants advantage instead grants disadvantage, for example. For food that grants a special attack such as Yeti Tartare, deal damage to the creature as if they had damaged themselves with the ability. For unique circumstances, the DM can make their own ruling.

Polymorphic Food: Creatures that eat polymorphic food must attempt a DC13 Constitution saving throw or become polymorphed into a random tiny beast for 1 hour.

Poisonous (mild): Creatures that eat mildly poisonous food must attempt a DC11 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save. the creature becomes poisoned for 1d4 hours.

Poisonous (strong): Creatures that eat strongly poisonous food must attempt a DC13 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 3d6 poison damage and becomes poisoned for 1d3 days.

Poisonous (deadly): Creatures that eat deadly poisonous food must attempt a DC15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature becomes poisoned and takes 1d6 damage at the start of each of their turns while poisoned in this way. The creature can attempt a new saving throw every ten rounds, ending the effect on a successful save.

Summoning Sickness: Creatures that eat this food become afflicted with magical sickness that causes them to periodically vomit harmless tiny objects from their mouth. The objects are random, anything from slugs to ball bearings. The creature has a 25% chance to do nothing at the start of each of its turns for the next one hour. All objects disappear at the end of this duration.
