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.

Balon's Plant

Rarity: Uncommon

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.

Bittermourn

Rarity: Legendary

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.

If imbibed by someone during near-death or immediately after death, will place the person into a deep magical coma or reduce the cost of a resurrection spell.

Black Rose

Rarity: Common

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.

Blackcorn

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Common

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 Constitution saving throw or suffer 16 (4d6) poison damage and be poisoned for 1 hour. Additionally, if the target fails the saving throw by 5 or more, they are Paralyzed for 1d6 minutes.

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

Rarity: Rare

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

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Common

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.

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

Arctic, Forest

Rarity: Very Common

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.

Bocraugh

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.

Cachuga Pepper

Rarity: Uncommon

Cachuga Peppers can only be found on Hot Springs Island. Vaguely pyramidal shaped woody bushes with profuse foliage bear clusters of small, fragrant yellow blooms which eventually give way to fiery peppers of a marbled red-orange. The bushes bloom continually in the tropical climes of the Swordfish Islands causing Cachuga bushes to produce large numbers of these fire peppers. The peppers themselves are 2-4 inches long and hang from the bushes by thick, green, vein-like structures. Cachuga Peppers are exceptionally spicy and flavorful, and the skin of these peppers is leathery and can be mashed into a paste, then shaped and dried into chips or a flavorful yet non-spicy paper-like wrapping, pairing nicely with raw fish. The peppers dry well, retaining their fire and flavor for exceptional periods of time, and their seeds can be ground into a powder that causes severe eye and skin irritation (DC 16 Cons.

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 with no poisoning). 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).

Rarity: Common

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.

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.

Choking Cinder Fungus

Rarity: Uncommon

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.

Chromus Slime

Coastal, Swamp, Underdark

Rarity: Very Rare

A yellow-orange slime mold found growing in dark, humid places, near a supply of constant water. The slime mold is capable of filtering out the salt in salt water and can therefore live in fresh water or by the ocean.

Common Coneflower

Rarity: Very Common

A small flower (roughly 18” or less) that blooms in the late sping or early summer and resembles a small, pink, sunflower. The coneflower is known for its ability to attract butterflies and honeybees, and if possessed/worn, will cause insect swarms to attack the person who is wearing the flower more frequently.

Constrictor Vine

Rarity: Uncommon

Instead of growing up to seek light, the Constrictor Vine spreads out across the ground as a thick mat of small, glossy leaves. The plant blooms occasionally with unremarkable clusters of small green flowers that give way to oblong yellow berries favored by birds and small animals. While the leaf mat of the Constrictor Vine rarely reaches more than 10' in diameter its root system can stretch as far as 50'. The fibrous roots of a Constrictor Vine resemble the pale hair of a drowned woman, are incredibly strong, and retain much of this strength even after being harvested and dried. As the roots grow, they wrap themselves around rocks, root systems, and anything else in their path. When the roots reach ~30' to ~50' they begin to slowly, yet inexorably constrict back towards the core of the plant. This constriction has been known to topple whole trees and move many ton boulders. Since the process is so slow, it poses no real danger to living creatures.

Cornus

Rarity: Rare

Cornus is an alien looking, bulbous fungus that grows into silver balls the size of small melons. These bulbs are full of a silvery, almost metallic liquid that, when injected into the body, will kill any and all hazardous parasites within the body with no negative side-effects.

Corpsebomb

Rarity: Uncommon

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.

Cosmos Glond

Rarity: Very Rare

This hard-to-find four-leafed plant spends most of its lifecycle underground, reaching only above the surface to complete the mature stage of its life before dying shortly after. The leaves are a dark blue with small white specks, resembling the night sky, complete with constellations and astral bodies as they would be on the date the plant reaches above the surface. When used in ceremonies by clerics and paladins, the leaves grant a greater success of communicating and reaching a god or goddess, +4 on religion checks or greater success with using spells similar to Commune.

Cotsbalm

Rarity: Rare

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.

Creeping Mangrove

Rarity: Very Common

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 has 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

Rarity: Rare

This creeping vine is found on the sides of ruins 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.

Dainaberry

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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 organic items. The substance appears to be a fine green powder, and has two peculiar properties. The first is that it acts like an acid to any organic substance. If it comes into contact with flesh or wood it slowly dissolves, dealing 3 (1d4) acid damage per round for 2 minutes per ounce contacting the organic substance, and leaving an acrid smell in the air. The second property is that it can be burned for an extended period. If set on fire it burns with leaping green flames, and takes twice as long to burn as an equal amount of wood.

Darkberry

Forest, Jungle, Underdark

Rarity: Rare

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Rare

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

Rarity: Uncommon

Crystallizing glossy-black fungus that grows sharp 6-ft long shards. Areas with Darkshine in it function as caltrops that deal 1d10 damage, and damaged creature cannot be magically healed for 1 minute. A patch has 20 hit points and takes half damage from piercing and slashing weapons, but it takes 1 point of damage each hour it is exposed to any light-source stronger than a candle.

Darkwood

Arctic, Underdark

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Common

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 not effect those with truesight. Darkvision effects are reduced.

Deep Imaskari Waterplant

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Legendary

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

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Common

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.

Devarencia

Rarity: Very Rare

Growing singularly and rarely on tropical mountaintops, Devarencia is an exceedingly fragile and picky plant in terms of water, humidity, temperature, and sunlight, meaning that many plants do not see maturity. This plant can be mixed into any potion and will prevent different potions from interacting. You can mix up to four potions into one vial. The potions all have their normal effect and no penalties are given.

Devil's Bloodflower

Rarity: Legendary

Only a few recorded instances of this red and yellow flower exist. This large and bold red leaf can be going back in history to the dawn of humankind. It was once a popular decoration around homes and gardens, but has become one of the rarest plants in the world. When the petals are consumed, they grant all boons of a Potion of Vitality (removes any exhaustion you are suffering, cures any disease or poison affecting you, and for the next 24 hours, you regain the maximum number of hit points for any hit die you expend). In addition, healing magic and potions heal you for +5 additional hit points for the same period of 24 hours.

Devil's Crown

Rarity: Rare

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

Rarity: Common

Tobacco-like smoked drug, -1 to Intelligence checks and +2 to Strength checks for the next 1d6 hours.

Dittany

Rarity: Very Common

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Very Common

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Rare

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.

Carrying 3 ft vine grants +2 bonus to Constitution saves against inhaled poisons, airborne diseases and nauseating effects like stinking cloud.

Grendar

Rarity: Very Common

A small, hardy, ground-creeping vine, spreading in several dozen tendrils of no more than 18” in the harsh conditions of the tundra. Cures skin irritations and rashes in one day, itching will be subdued.

Grim Flowers

City, Plain

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Legendary

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Legendary

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

Ocean

Rarity: Rare

This is an algae. When eaten it allows a person to breathe underwater (and only underwater) for a period of four hours.

Gyumin Beans

Rarity: Very Common

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.

Haella

City, Plain

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Legendary

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

Rarity: Rare

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 de-rusts a medium-sized metal weapon.

Hands of Laretha

Rarity: Rare

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

Rarity: Rare

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:

Harlequin's Harp

City, Coastal

Rarity: Very Common

A multi-colored flower ranging between yellow and purple and everywhere in between with several strands of fiber attached to the petals across the empty space in the center of the flower. A few decades ago, an herbalist found that strumming the fibers would hold a tune, and since then, the flowers have become a common gift for friends and loved ones. Some talented herbalists have learned to breed the Harlequin’s Harps in a way that the fibers can be tuned to specific notes for personalized gifts.

Harpy Nest

Rarity: Common

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.

Harrada Leaf

Rarity: Very Rare

A green, leafy plant whose leaves are tinger with a deep purple. The leaves are commonly dried and smoked or cultivated and harvested for this purpose by criminal organizations. Although highly addictive, Harrada Leaf is used to grant a huge boon to a person’s physical strength at the cost of intelligence and common sense. After consumption, Harrada Leaf will grant a +4 bonus to the Strength skill at the cost of -3 to both Wisdom and Intelligence for a period of 1d4-1 hours. After this period is up (with the exception of rolling a 1-1) the user will have to make a DC 18 Cons. Save or be poisoned by the drug’s after-effects, which will instill a -3 penalty to strength and a -1 penalty to both Wisdom and Intelligence.

Hart's Crown

Rarity: Rare

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.

Hate Gartlet

Rarity: Common

A bright, crimson-red flower atop an impossibly thin green stalk. Typically blooming in late spring, or early summer, the flower then begins to change color with the day’s progress, going from red to midnight blue as it becomes night. Preparation of the flower as a tea will allow the recipient to stay awake for 3 days at a time, being able to function normally and accomplish minor tasks during a long rest. After these three days, the recipient will then fall into a magical sleep resembling the spell Feign Death. The target will wake up after 8 hours, but for all intents and purposes will look dead.

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

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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.

Either the seed or the flowers must be dried and then eaten. The effect last 1d8 hours.

Hidden Hibiscus

Rarity: Very Rare

A large, woody, flowering shrub, the hidden hibiscus grows from 6' to 8' high, and as much as 10' wide. The blooms of the hibiscus are large (easily the size of a human hand), plentiful, and many colored.

Bloom colors are typically red with yellow ribs, or pink with dark red ribs, but some sages claim there are thousands of different color combinations and variations. If a Hidden Hibiscus is threatened, or detects rapid movement nearby, any blooms on the bush immediately change their color to drab greens and browns, and the entire plant appears to wilt and wither. Skilled alchemists use the roots of the Hidden Hibiscus to amplify their creations that aid in natural camouflage (adding wilted hidden hibiscus to armor will negate any stealth penalties that the armor normally has), but the blooms of the hibiscus are its true prize as they can be used to dramatically increase both physical and mental speed for short periods of time (+2 bonus to Dexterity and Intelligence stats for 1d4+1 hours). Only brightly colored blooms can be used in these speed-increasing concoctions, and once a Hidden Hibiscus changes the color of one of its blooms, they never change back.

Hiexel

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Very Common

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

Plain, River

Rarity: Very Common

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.

Rarity: Very Rare

Rarity: Very Common

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

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.

Inari

Rarity: Very Common

Jalap

Rarity: Very Common

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.

Jelly Moss

Jungle, Plain, Underdark

Rarity: Common

It is said that when a representative of the Martel Company brought the first samples of Jelly Moss back to Banuvo's College of Mysteries, it nearly caused a riot among the academics. The resident sages were unable to conclusively determine if this clump of grayish-purple tube-like structures, smelling a bit like rotten pears was a plant or a fungus. It was known that Jelly Moss, when crushed, becomes very messy and sticky, but until an unlucky professor sat a small sample of Jelly Moss that’d been left on his chair, no one had realized this goo would create an almost instant, permanent, bond of incredible strength with wood. The battle of classification rapidly transformed into a full-blown war between the Blacksmith's Guild and the Carpenters over the future of nails.

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.

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.

Rarity: Uncommon

A short plant that grows in tendrils across the ground sprouting broad fluffy leaves, the Kanishta thrives in the cold environment. Growing beneath the ground is a thick, dark-colored root.

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

Rarity: Very Common

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.

Korogg

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Legendary

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.

Laishaberries

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Uncommon

Parsley like herb descended from plants growing on the shores of large rivers and oceans. 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 doubles the duration (does not stack with extend spell). Matures in 14 weeks and remains viable for 5 weeks after.

Land Caltrops

Rarity: Very Common

If applied to a venomous 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 `instant death' poisons. It may (at the GMs discretion) provide protection against other, non- fatal animal poisons.)

Larnurma

Rarity: Very Common

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.

Lashar

Rarity: Common

A grey, slightly slimy lichen that grows on rocks in the middle of streams. When ground up into a slurry and consumed, it will slow the effects of poison for 2 hours. After that the poison will resolve normally, unless another potion is drunk. The potion is very repulsive, and a DC 14 Constitution saving throw is needed to see if the imbiber can hold it down.

Laspar

Rarity: Very Common

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

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Rarity: Common

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, heals 6 damage with fresh leaves, 4 hit points using dry leaves, and 6 - 8 hit points using the brew.

Save to get out of the rapidly growing briars after they awaken. -5 hit points for every hour unconscious).

Light of Mystra

Rarity: Common

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 casting 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

Rarity: Uncommon

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.

Lizard Eaters

City, Plain

Rarity: Very Common

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.

Lizuara

Rarity: Legendary

Found only growing underwater in freshwater at least 30 feet deep, Lizuara is a translucent green grass that seems to curl and uncurl on its own. This water plant, when combined with Stygian Pumpkin, can be turned into an ointment that, when applied to the forehead of a recently dead creature, will bring the character back from the dead up to 7 days from its death. If the resurrection ritual is completed improperly, the character becomes an undead.

After successful application of the ointment, the character being treated must make 3 death saving throws unbeknownst to the rest of the party.

3 successes or 2 successes and 1 failure will return to character to full health, fully living.

2 failures and 1 success will return the character to conscious undeath, returning the player as a revenant.

3 failures will return the character as a full undead, with the helpful intervention of an evil deity of death, returning the character as a Death Knight with no control over their actions. The Death Knight will attempt to fight, but can also be turned back to the ally as a revenant state if the ointment is applied once more and the Death Knight fails a DC 16 Cons. Save.

Rarity: Uncommon

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.

Lungwort

Rarity: Very Common

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.

Maruera

Forest, River

Rarity: Rare

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.

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 scores for up to 1d8 hours. Up to 4 doses will stack, but after the second dose, the user will make a DC 14 Wisdom Save. This DC increases by one after every dosage. If failed, the user becomes addicted and loses -100’ sight range (down to 3’), -10% hearing, and -1 to Wisdom and Dexterity scores until next dosage.)

Oede

Rarity: Legendary

One of the most valuable and prized of all plants, this bush has leaves that are almost golden in color. These leaves can be dried, but if they are not will last only two weeks.

Orticusp

Rarity: Very Rare

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.

Ortona

Rarity: Rare

Ortona Trees can grow to 40 feet and produce large amounts of a pale, white fruit, which are commonly turned into a chunky, white paste smelling of walnuts. Applying this thick, white paste to a weapon will allow it to cleave through any non-magical metal. The paste is consumed after use. (1d8 fruit can be harvested from a single tree.)

Pattran

Rarity: Common

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.

Pennyroyal

Forest, River

Rarity: Rare

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

City, Plain

Rarity: Common

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.

Rarity: Very Common

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

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Rarity: Rare

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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 second dose taken during duration causing Petrified for 2d4 hours.

Poznan's Chain

Rarity: Rare

Poznan's Chain is a soft-wooded clinging vine armed with white, pearlescent spines, 2" to 3" in length that alternate the entire length of the vine with leathery leaves. These vines are typically only found growing on sheer cliff faces or the most opulent ruined buildings. While a single chain will usually run for 20' to 50' and spread to cover an area of about 200 square feet, some vines are purported to reach 100' or more and cover thousands of square feet with their leaves and thorns. The thorns of Poznan's Chain secrete a virulent poison that causes internal organs to violently rupture and hemorrhage (DC 18 Cons. Save to avoid taking 4d8 poison damage), leading to a bloody death in as little as 20 to 30 seconds. Curiously, if this poison is collected and taken more than 5' from the vine it immediately becomes water. Some claim that Poznan's Chain can produce large, silvery, metallic, star-like blooms, but these reports have never been verified.

Prickly Tea

Rarity: Common

Thorny bush about 3-ft in height with grey-green leaves. Can be made into a mild stimulant tea, or with the training as an herbalist, a substance called Sen-sess, which tastes terrible but grants a +1 bonus to Perception checks for 1 hour.

Prince's Feather

Rarity: Very Common

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

City, Plain

Rarity: Uncommon

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.

Pygmy King Flower

Rarity: Rare

The Pygmy King Flower produces a conical, flower-like structure from a base of 8-10 fat, fluid filled leaves that resemble a broken rib cage. The flower is usually 1' in diameter, 2' tall, and always brightly colored. While the color can vary greatly, solid orange and blue with yellow spots are the most common colors in tropical locales. Nectar fills at least half of each basin shaped flower and when exposed to sunlight this liquid releases a sweet, sugary fragrance. Small creatures and large insects are attracted to this smell but upon entering the flower they are trapped by its slippery walls and slowly digested. When a Pygmy King Flower finishes digesting a meal, or becomes over filled (such as after a heavy rain) the flower will tilt and dump its contents onto the jungle floor before slowly righting itself once more. The succulent, rib shaped leaves at the base of this plant can be mashed into a salve that is an excellent treatment for major burns and minor lacerations (successful application of this salve can cure up to 2d8 fire damage if applied within 3 rounds of taking that damage).

Quare

Rarity: Very Common

A small purple flower found alongside paths and roads that wind through temperate forests. The petals can be ground and combined with water or pure alcohol to yield a simple pesticide. Kills rodents and small animals when consumed by them, has no effect on larger animals and humanoids.

Queen's Ambrosia

Rarity: Very Common

A low, waxy-leafed shrub plant with large yellow flowers pointed upward. These flowers collect water and the flowers’ natural nectar and pollen then sweeten the water and add some essence that makes the liquid inside slightly intoxicating. A common tradition in some parts of the realm is to have a picnic the day after a rainstorm next to a Queen’s Ambrosia bush so that the flowers may serve as refreshment for the old and for the young to sneak sips from.

Quicksilver Lichen

Rarity: Uncommon

A slimy, glittering silver lichen that can be ground into a soluble, flavorless powder that can be added to food or drink to grant damage weakness to poison for 2d6 hours.

Quickweed

Rarity: Common

Quickweed grows as a series of short, flat, silvery leaf blades along a single root runner, and is so named because it completes its entire life cycle in a single week. A living/growing end and a decaying/dying end is clearly visible on each root runner, and with patient observation it is possible to watch the root grow and die in real time. The grass always grows in a single direction along its root causing entire fields of Quickweed to appear to migrate around islands, like a wave, as time goes by. Alchemists prize Quickweed as it amplifies concoctions related to time, speed and travel.

Quivar

Rarity: Rare

A low-lying, ground-cover leafy plant that grows through a layer of snow, never seeing sunlight, but absorbing and using the cold as food. Nomadic tribes of the far north have been known to seek out the plant, dry it, and smoke the leaves to gain an additional +50% movement speed for 8 hours.

Rainbowpetal

Rarity: Very Common

Rainbowpetal grows as a stout, relatively straight stem with triangular green leaves, and reaches a height of 4' to 8'. Many four-petaled flowers appear at the top of this stem forming a terminal spike of 12" to 16". The flowers of the rainbowpetal can appear as any color, including shades of blue and green, and individual petals will even grow in different colors on the same flower. The petals of these flowers are thick, fleshy, and surprisingly nutritious. They are frequently boiled into a thick and flavorful porridge or dried and used in place of bread crumbs or cornmeal on fried food. If eaten raw, a single spike of rainbowpetal can sustain a normal sized human for a full day.

Rampalt

Rarity: Common

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.)

Ratavasa Flowers

Rarity: Very Common

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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. Light contact deals 1d6 points of damage, while e.g. falling into it deals up to 3d6 points of damage; but this damage is reduced by a creature’s natural armor bonus.

Rarity: Rare

Parasitic vine that grows on Eldeen Reach trees, whose leaves when used as a component for a plant or plant-creature targeting spell has a 50% chance of increasing the DC by 2.

Redflower

Rarity: Uncommon

Tiny red-bog flower that can be made into a crushed leaf drug, no initial effect, secondary effect for 10 minutes that grants the ability to use an action to gain +4 on the roll to attack a single creature. Overdose if second dose taken during duration causes 1d4 x 10 minutes nauseated.

Redgold's Feather

Rarity: Rare

Redgold's Feathers grow as small, tight clusters of burnished, coppery colored, feather shaped fronds near areas of thermal activity. The plant is impervious to heat, and some claim to have even seen it undergo instantaneous growth when exposed to direct flame. If the leaves of this plant are broken or crushed they give off an acerbic odor potent enough to wake a person from unconsciousness (even magical) or immediately recover from being dazed or disoriented. If the feathers are crushed and combined with sulfur and the essence of a naturally fiery creature, an alchemist can create a non-toxic liquid that will glow a bright orange for 36-48 hours (even after being consumed and digested).

Redroot

City, Plain

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Very Common

This plant has a cluster of dark green leaves, with marked parallel 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

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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 center 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.

Rose Campion

Rarity: Very Rare

This herb will protect against scorpion stings for three days. It will protect against only one sting and also protects against `instant death' poison or one hit kills.

Rose of Forgetfulness

Rarity: Legendary

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.

Rosecork

Rarity: Common

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.

Rouddan

Rarity: Rare

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

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Very Common

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.

Sabito

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Common

A hardy tree that spreads runners from one original “mother” tree, sometimes creating entire forests from one tree. The Sable Fir allegedly makes for excellent arrow-shafts and turns a deep lustrous black if lumbered mid-winter and rubbed with hot oils.

Saddilia

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Rarity: Common

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.

Coastal, Ocean

Rarity: Uncommon

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 cannot 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

Rarity: Very Common

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.

Rarity: Very Common

This herb cures fevers within 1d4-1 hours.

Sarasar

Rarity: Uncommon

A short, woody bush with very few leaves, commonly found near gullies and ravines, so the plants can collect as much water as possible.

The smoke fills a cubic volume of 10 ft. by 10 ft. by 10 ft.

Sasami Tree

City, Jungle

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Forest, Swamp

Rarity: Uncommon

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 within 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

Rarity: Common

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

City, Plain

Rarity: Rare

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.

Serapia's Turbith

Rarity: Legendary

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

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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.

Shadbush

Rarity: Very Common

A red, waxy-leafed bush that produces small, burgundy colored berries that can be eaten in small amounts to ward off scurvy and nutrition-related illness.

Shadowrose

Rarity: Rare

A perfectly black rose bush, with black roots, stems, leaves, and buds, that grows only in deep caves and wilts in the presence of any light, magic or non-magic, brighter than a candle. When the petals of this rose are consumed, it will grant a regeneration rate of 3 hit points per round for 2d10 rounds. After that, the recipient will be unable to perform any action, including movement, for 2 rounds.

Shadowtop

Rarity: Very Common

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

Rarity: Rare

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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.

Silver Hibiscus

Rarity: Legendary

This silver-grey plant looks as though it represents madness itself. It often has random patterns and unplanned shapes, but always has a black web-like pattern on it. If touched bare-handed, the target must make a DC 14 Wisdom Save or take 2d6 Psychic damage. When prepared correctly, the leaf can take on the special qualities of the elements and grant a talentaed herbalist 3 uses of an elemental breath weapon, randomly chosen from Lightning, Poison, Fire, or Acid.

Silverleaf

Rarity: Rare

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

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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 bonus on Constitution saves VS poison for 1 hour.

Sinquoi

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Rarity: Very Rare

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).

Sleeping Ivy

Coastal, Plain

Rarity: Common

This woody, vine with golden, spade shaped leaves growing in fan shaped clusters of three or five is a true climber, often reaching 30' to 40'. The blooms of Sleeping Ivy are blue-violet colored tufts, or puffballs, which become covered in an extremely fine yellowish powder. A rash of tiny, fluid filled blisters will form on any skin 1-4 hours after contact. Despite its "angry" appearance, the inflamed area is not painful and does not itch, but instead will tingle numbly. After becoming exposed to Sleeping Ivy a victim will become more lethargic and harder to wake from sleep. At first the lethargy brought on by exposure may be so slight as to be unnoticeable, but it will increase in intensity each day it goes untreated. On the seventh day of untreated exposure the victim will fall asleep (quite peacefully) and never wake again. To treat Sleeping Ivy, the inflamed area must be bathed in alcohol. The higher the proof, the more rapid the recovery.

Sleepweed

Rarity: Uncommon

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.

Slimmerane

Jungle, Mountain, Plain

Rarity: Rare

A tropical, creeping ground vine that has small serrated leaves resembling the leaves of blackberry bushes. Instead of producing blackberries, however, this vine produces small pink berries that can be mashed into a pulp and consumed. Although exceedingly sour, this mixture will grant advantage on the saving throw for the next spell that is cast upon you. Lasts until this spell is cast or 24 hours if no such spell is cast.

Slumberweed

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Very Common

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.)

Snapping Grass

Rarity: Uncommon

Snapping Grass grows as a clump, or tuft of dark green, dagger shaped leaves, 4" to 6" tall. Six to twelve stalks, each 8" to 10" high grow from the center of this cluster. A pair of hinged, shovel shaped, bright fuchsia leaves, rimmed in spikes sit at the top of each stalk. These stalks sway constantly, as if moved by a gentle breeze. It is unclear how exactly Snapping Grass hunts, but the moving stalks are able to bend, lunge and snap up small creatures with exceptional accuracy. While this plant subsists almost entirely on a diet of small vermin and birds, some adventurers have reported that some clumps of Snapping Grass will lunge and shiny or sparkling objects like rings and gems.

Snowflake Lichen

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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.

Sparish Nut

Rarity: Common

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, anyone who attempts to seduce the recipient should have a bonus of +5 to their Persuasion checks for a period of 2d10 minutes.

Sparkleberry

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Rare

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

Rarity: Legendary

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.

Spiderbush

Rarity: Rare

Spiderbush is a small shrub, rarely growing larger than 2' in diameter, with waxy, light green leaves and an exposed woody root system. Tiny blue and white flowers develop on the tips of its branches, blooming year-round. If a Spiderbush does not receive sunlight for a 24-hour period it will use its root system to waddle, or shuffle, across the ground in search of light. Having stubby, makeshift legs when combined with frequently uneven jungle ground, Spiderbushes tend to lose their balance and tumble through the jungle. Due to their ambulatory nature and need for direct sunlight, Spiderbushes naturally cluster together in clearings or along the tree line near the shore of an island. Periods of extended rainfall have been known to trigger sizable migrations of hundreds, even thousands of Spiderbushes shuffling and tumbling through the jungle in search of the sun.

Spiderwort

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Rarity: Common

Wildflower with red, yellow, and orange petals that grows to 1-ft high and stretches 6 inches 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

Rarity: Common

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, the recipient 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

Plain, Swamp

Rarity: Very Common

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

Rarity: Rare

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

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Rarity: Very Rare

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

City, Forest, Mountain, Plain

Rarity: Very Common

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

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Legendary

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 for 2d6 hours. The negative effects of "coming down" can, of course, be counteracted by taking more the drug, with resultant addictive effects of gut-wrenching pain and 5 poison damage per day.)

Sunberry Bush

Rarity: Very Common

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

Plain, Underdark

Rarity: Common

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.

Surane

Rarity: Uncommon

A tall, hardy reed capable of growing up to 10’ tall, found mostly along salt and brackish water in colder climates. When mixed with oil and left to sit for a period of three days, the resulting mixture can be applied to the neck and will allow the character to breather underwater (and only underwater) for 2d4 hours.

Sussur

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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 Arcane

River, Swamp

Rarity: Very Rare

A short river grass found alongside rivers and other bodies of water in humid, tropical environments. When this grass is ground into a cud with honey, the resulting decoction is a syrupy sweet treat that will allow spellcasters to memorize and prepare one extra spell per day. The level of the spell is determined by the number of grass used (12 stalks per level), and can only be of a level for which the caster has slots. Last 1d4 days.

Sweet Trefoile

Rarity: Rare

This feathery, slightly invasive waterplant will halve falling damage for 1d6 minutes after consumption.

Swordstalks

Desert, Jungle

Rarity: Very Rare

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.

Tahtoalethi

Rarity: Legendary

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

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Rarity: Very Common

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 cultivate 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

Rarity: Very Common

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Ocean

Rarity: Common

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.

Tangled Waybread

Rarity: Very Common

A soft, flowing, amber grain on a flexible stalk that grows in large patches in the middle of open fields. The grain often blows violently even in a low breeze, and will tangle up in itself , creating giant mats of grain that then slowly dies due to cramping and underwatering. The grain can be ground and turned into a meal that can be mixed with water and dried to form a simple but filling bread.

Taran'ka

Rarity: Common

A small desert plant that mostly grows underground in the form of a tuber. A singular leaf sticks out from the sand and typically resembles a dead plant. However, if the tuber is harvested and cut into pieces, a single coin sized piece will cure any non-magical disease in 1d8 hours.

Tateesha

Rarity: Rare

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

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Very Common

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

Rarity: Rare

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

Rarity: Very Common

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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 the case because pixies are rumored to hate thanalayla because they can also get caught in its sticky resin.

Thelmallow Flower

Rarity: Very Rare

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).

Thimbleweed

Rarity: Very Common

A spiky, medium-length grass that grows in patches in areas of direct sunlight. As summer turns into fall, the tips of the grass begin to swell and turn into white, thimble shaped flowers. These flowers are a common cure for fevers and involved in a remedy that allows for a delay in the onset of illness or its symptoms.

Thir

Rarity: Very Common

A grey-white lichen that grows off-shoots that resemble a short, spiky grass. The grass can be used in a compress or bandage to heal up to 4 damage if applied within 5 rounds of taking damage.

Thistledown

Arctic, Plain

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Very Common

This herb will heal any scars in as little as a month if applied on a weekly basis.

Thyme

City, Plain

Rarity: Very Common

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.

Tickleweed

Rarity: Rare

Although Tickleweed grows as a thick, grass-like carpet of cylindrical dark green leaf-blades, 3"-4" in length, unlike normal grasses, Tickleweed prefers to grow on nearly vertical surfaces and will even thrive in dark places, assuming there is ample moisture. The cylindrical leaf-blades are highly sensitive to even the subtlest shifts in ambient temperature, so they move and shift continually. Tickleweed stretches towards increases in temperature and away from decreases. Each leaf moves independently causing the plants to appear to ripple and shiver with waves. Even the simple act of walking past a patch of Tickleweed will trigger a flurry of movement. Tickleweed bloom very rarely with circular flowers of red or white with a central black "eye". The flowers are prized by alchemists as they amplify concoctions related to detection, reaction, and rapid, fluid movement (up to DM’s discretion).

Torchstalk

Forest, Underdark

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Common

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 Constitution saving throw or become incapacitated while vomiting for the next minute.

Trathua

Rarity: Common

A thick black vine that grows along the floors of caves and caverns and subsists on the nutrients leftover from the meals of Giant Spiders. Cutting open a Tarthua Vine and drinking the liquid inside will make the character impervious to spider venoms for 2d6 hours. However, the liquid inside the vines clings to the mouth like cobwebs.

Troll Poppy

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Legendary

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

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Rarity: Rare

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

Rarity: Common

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.

Umanhunan

Rarity: Common

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

Coastal, Desert, Mountain

Rarity: Very Common

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 flower 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

Rarity: Very Common

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.

A character will regain 1 statistic point per day with food and medical care, but will remain incapacitated until all statistics reach normal levels.

Valerian

Rarity: Very Common

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.

Varenia

Rarity: Legendary

A tall, woody-stemmed flower that grows during spring and summer months. The blooms are almost a foot across and a bright crimson red. The inside is filled with a large quantity of nectar, making the flower very popular among a large variety of birds. During the fall, as the plant starts to die in cooler temperatures, the nectar begins to spoil and take in bits and pieces of disintegrating plant matter which turns the nectar into a thicker, foul-smelling salve that can be applied to regenerate a lost limb or body part. The regeneration cycle takes 3 full days. There is a 10% chance the limb will be mutated.

Vaundyr Vine

Rarity: Very Rare

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 along with Thelmallow Flower. 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).

Verdant Goeleth

City, Plain

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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

Rarity: Rare

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

Rarity: Common

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. Commonly used as a smoked herb, 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

Rarity: Common

Tropical bush with dark broad leaves, which when made into a paste can soothe burns, i.e. heal 1d4 points of damage sustained from fire or burns. It also grants a +2 bonus on the next save of any stat made against fire.

Vortax

Other

Rarity: Legendary

A secret guarded closely by ancient sects of druids around the realm, vortax is a green powder made from a plant of the same name. This powder must be held in the hand of a druid and burned, causing 3d8 fire damage to the druid, making druids that constantly use vortax easy to pick out. After the vortax is burned away, the druid’s hands will start to glow a faint green. The druid can, as an action, conjure up a powerful thunderstorm within a mile radius area, and command any target to be struck by 5d20 lightning damage with no saving throws. This effect lasts for 1d4 minutes.

Waredan

Rarity: Very Rare

A surprisingly hardy dwarf tree that grows about 5’ or slightly less. The hard, waxy leaves of this tree can be combined sugar water in a boiling process to yield a concoction that, when injected into the bloodstream of a lycanthrope, will cause the lycanthrope to be unable to change form for 12 hours, even in the presence of magic that would cause this change instantaneously, like the spell Moonbeam.

Watercress

Rarity: Very Common

A very small, leafy green that is commonly eaten in salads or as an added green in many meals. Eating this green in combination with a day’s rations will replenish one hit die if consumed separately from a long rest.

Waterorb

Rarity: Common

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.

Waxtree

Rarity: Very Rare

Waxtrees have large, fuzzy, almost white leaves that grow in bunches at the ends of twisted, dark brown, woody branches that are 1-3 inches thick. While most commonly growing to a height of 2-3 feet, some Wax Trees have been known to grow as large as 8 feet tall. A shallow and spreading root system robs nearby plants of food and moisture causing these trees to be found with few neighbors, even in areas of otherwise dense vegetation. The branches, if broken, ooze a translucent purple, viscous fluid that smells vaguely of citrus. The wax burns cleanly and evenly making it a good alternative to beeswax, and alchemists often seek it out as a foundation for magical glues and thickeners. Exceptionally skilled alchemists are able to use this wax to create a putty that can permanently change the shape and structure of facial features. The would-be master of disguise should be cautious however as minor, even accidental, tweaks to this formula will create a putty that causes organic matter (like faces) to dissolve and melt away in a matter of seconds.

Waxworm

Rarity: Very Common

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

Rarity: Very Common

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

Rarity: Uncommon

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.

Werasa

City, Plain

Rarity: Common

A short, leafy bush that produces small lilac flowers on the spring solstice. 2d8 flowers can be harvested from a single bush, and the petals of these flowers can be crushed and sprinkled over food to preserve the food for 1 week. There will be a faint trace of generic flower in the taste.

Whistling Cactus

Rarity: Uncommon

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.

White Byrony

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Very Common

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.)

Wild Fireclover

Rarity: Rare

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.

Wildwood

Rarity: Very Rare

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

Plain, Swamp

Rarity: Very Common

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

Rarity: Legendary

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

Rarity: Common

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 whip-like, 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.

Wispstalks

Forest, Jungle, Underdark

Rarity: Very Rare

This incredibly rare fungi has become something of a fable among herbalists. It is reported to have a large, translucent-blue bulbous cap growing atop a thin stem, and to normally form in small clusters deep within damp cave environments and forests. When consumed, the recipient first takes 1d6 poison damage and must make a DC 15. Cons. Save to keep it down. On a successful save, the recipient will gain the secondary effect of the wispstalk, becoming invisible for 1d8 minutes; on a failed save, nothing happens.

Witchweave Palm

Rarity: Uncommon

A single Witchweave Palm Tree is comprised of three to five trunks, 10" to 12" in diameter, that grow in tight clusters and can reach 25' to 50' in height. The fronds of a mature Witchweave are approximately 3' long before splitting into 7 to 10 pale green leaves with drooping, fibrous tips that grow for another 2' to 3'. It is the numerous white fibers, resembling hair, appearing in the splits of the leaf tips that give the Witchweave its name. These leaves are prized by the Lizardfolk natives of the Swordfish Islands who harvest, dry and process them into rope and rough cloth. The Witchweave blooms with small yellow flowers that give way to oblong, reddish fruit about the size of a human thumb. If the fruits are dried, wrapped in fresh green Witchweave leaves and burned, a thick, deep blue smoke with a sweet, musky odor is produced. This smoke acts as a potent anesthetic to exposed flesh, and the Lizardfolk are known to fill tents and lodges with it for both medical and spiritual reasons. It is rumored that some of the Lizardfolk's powerful shaman are able to refine the fruit of the Witchweave even further to create potent healing salves and unguents, but if true, these secrets are highly guarded.

Witchweed

Jungle, Plain

Rarity: Common

A plant whose leaves and stalks can be refined into a paste, which is then rolled into a smoke-stick 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

Rarity: Very Common

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

Rarity: Very Common

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

Rarity: Rare

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

Rarity: Very Common

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

Wood Sorrel

Rarity: Common

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.

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.

Xitluchi

Rarity: Uncommon

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.

Yagdav Bush

Rarity: Very Common

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.

Yarpick

Rarity: Common

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

Rarity: Very Common

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

Rarity: Common

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.

Yazur

Rarity: Legendary

Resembling a wild grape in tropical climates, yazur is a small purple berry that can be eaten outright, by anyone but a spellcaster, and tastes like sour apples. If a spellcaster eats yazur berries, the caster will lose a slot of the highest level spell they have until the next long rest. Yazur can also be mashed into a paste with sugar. Applying this paste to any magic object will drain any magic abilities from it, and reverting the object to a normal, non-magical item in the process. If the paste is then eaten after absorbing this magic, it will heal the character to full hit points. In addition, the yazur plant can also be used against spellcasters in a tactical attack. When a spellcaster is directly injected with juice from the berries, all spells that the caster has memorized and prepared for the day will be obliterated from their memory.

Ylam Tree

Rarity: Very Rare

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.

Young Lad's Love

Rarity: Very Common

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.

Zalanthar

Rarity: Rare

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.
