Herbalist

All archetypes

The plants around you can provide more remedies than the finest hospital or temple, and you are skilled in their use. Nature always provides to those who know how to look, and you have always had a talent for seeing these gifts before you. You can put it to good use, healing those around you with nothing more than what the world provides.

Herbalist Dedication Feat 2

  • archetype
  • dedication

Prerequisites trained in Nature, Natural Medicine


You can create natural remedies. You gain the Alchemical Archetypes benefits. You can use advanced alchemy to create 4 alchemical consumables with the healing trait, though the number is reduced by 2 if you didn't make your daily preparations in the wilderness. These consumables are called your herbal items. You remember herbal item formulas and don't need a formula book for them.

You become an expert in Nature and can use Nature instead of Crafting to Craft alchemical consumables with the healing trait. You don't need to be trained in Crafting to do so, and you can use healer's tools instead of alchemist's tools.
