[Rq-rules] Forgotten Magics

[Den, Tony T]

Ah botany. Now there is something I agree is way overlooked. It can
really spice (doh!) up your campaign, but the main caution is to be like
an accountant - consistant. So if a herb is decided does X in the game
and then someone finds out that it actually has a different effect (Y)
- player terms, not game tesrm, remain consistent, keep its effects as X
, don't  change  it or the players mty get confused etc. There are
plenty normal earth herb/botany etc books and, depending onteh group,
onc could vary from their mudane earth name, to their scientific latinm
name to a new name made up for your reality.

Good post!
The norwegian RPG-community (on the forum I'm on) are currently allso
beeing frustrated over many RPG's overfocusation on Combat-related
skills, spells and rules; compared to domestic/social activities.

I suggest you do somthing about it and create your own stuff!
Personally, I haven't placed too much focus on spells, but there are
some focus on crops in the "Sun County" book (harvest-stones for
increasing the field's fertility, etc.)

One area that I feal suffer greatly is botany. The "healer" proffession
with a high plant-lore; what do you use it for? So I and others have
been making a compendium for plants and their (special) abilities. This
was inspired by the fungi and other "plant"-stuff in one of the
Uz-supplements + an article I found in a "Tales of the reaching
Moon"-magazine.
