Herbalism Overhauled

Thank you so much for pointing this out! I had the table typed up, but missed a ] in my Latex so it never compiled... and never threw an error... and somehow I missed it. I've corrected it and updated the file download to v1.2. In case that gives you any more trouble, here's the table:

Check total - Outcome
1-5 - No progress
6-10 - 1 ingredient learned
11-20 - 2 ingredients learned
21+ - 3 ingredients learned

Please let me know how it works out for you and your druid.

That’s brilliant. Thank you so much. I allowed my Druid player to attempt to make his first 4 choices of potion to reflect what he would have started the campaign with plus two spare random ingredients left over in the kit. We’ve already played from level 1 to 5 and this gives a clear and easy use of the herbalism kit he started with and hasn’t used.

I altered Orc Keg to be for strength based attacks only as I didn’t think it made sense to apply it to a spell attack.

Thanks a bunch for commenting!
- An error, I changed it's name to Clear Water in the table and missed it up above.
- Orc Keg is intended to cause a critical on 18, 19, and 20.
- Wives' Tears does not remove potions effects, as the alcohol is only intended as a solvent for the alchemical compounds.
- Healing potions do not trigger a reaction, they and the Clear Water potion are exempt from those restrictions.
- Potions do not cause drunkenness (though if you want to rule it that way go for it, it sounds fun)

I've added a series of fixes to the document to address these and updated the file download, hopefully you can see it on your end.

As for the other two:
- I intended for these herbal made potions to be separate from the potions listed elsewhere, so didn't include them - though I think I may as well at this point. I'd rather just make a separate table for them and update the document again than work it out and list them here. For the greater healing...See more potion in specific... off the cuff I'd make it 3 sapphic, 1 cithral, and 2 astra.

- I had originally intended for each alchemical characteristic to be associated with an area of the planes in the great wheel cosmology:
Elementa for the inner planes
Astra for the outer planes
Cithral for the feywild
Holic for the Shadowfell
Sapphic was either going to be for the Positive plane, or more of a yin/yang deal with the material plane
Pyrrhic was either going to be for the Negative, or match the yin/yang with Sapphic.
I decided to leave that out to avoid the mess that would arise for people using other arrangements, or other settings with different magical systems. Unfortunately not all the potion formulae were written with this in mind (I pulled it from the document before I'd made them all) so some might seem odd.
That's about the best I can give as to what they mean, hopefully that helps.

A separate table has now been created with formulae for all of the potions in the DMG.
