I have created quick and easy to use herbalism rules for WFRP3. You can find the document, WFRP3 Herbalism and Pharmacy , from my Kaleva Hammer -site. There is also .zip which has some example herbs and concoctions. Example cards have one medicine, one poison and one drug. Didn't have energy to create more examples, but these rules should make creation or converting of other herbs and concoctions more easy.

Rules include needed skills (which had to be little expanded, so careers like Apothecary could actually make something), skill checks, rules for herbs/plants, making the concoctions and finally also for ready concoctions. Then some more expanded rules for narcotics and poisons.

Looks like solid and useful rules. Thanks for sharing!

Did you do the example cards in Strange Eons? I cannot seem to locate the template used, it would be useful for creating my own cards.

I did use Strange Eons, but I use Liber Fanatica templates (can be found from their site) - I think they are the best looking templates.

Thanks, I'll check them out. When/if I create plants and potions using your rules I'll post them in this thread, if that's ok with you?

Please do post any plants/concoctions here. Easier to find them after. And also any comments if you have any questions about the rules OR have any ideas to expand them even further.

Warhammer fluff has HUGE amount of plants, poisons and narcotics. I just didn't have time/energy to develope more examples (for now). Some more are coming - they are connected to my Norsca Project.

PS I´m using Liber Fanatica Item template to these cards. It has pretty good "open" space to use for these. Then Arial font and just adjust the font-size depending the amount of information.

Looks good, a question -

The tables for results show a minimal success on "blanK' which I assume means zero net success or failures, and then a 1 success line.

The rules usually treat "blanK" (zero net success) as a failure.

Is this intentional to give some minimal success in that situation?

You are right and I would say it is as you said: "to give some minimal success in that situation."

I quess that is matter of opinion in different cases. In these tables it's this way.

More herbalism! These new cards are from my upcoming new version of Norsca Project (which is coming one of these days). This is also why cards have sceattas value, which is Norse currency. You can found them from my site . Below are the details for creation of these concoctions.

Appreciate this.

The extra herbalism rules is really nice for my group as I have a player who likes making health pots! (He manage3d to convince an NPC how to teach him how to make it)

We're going to start running with this on Sunday,
Does anyone have a list of herbs (names and so on) and possible uses that may help with poison making?
I don't mind mixing up our own concoctions, but would like a list of herbs so I can work out difficulties to find them.

Someone needs to do this kind of work for Kislev!!!!
