Healer/Druid

”The art of healing comes from nature, not

from the physician. Therefore the physician
must start from nature, with an open
mind.”
“Poison is in everything, and no thing is
without poison. The dosage makes it either
a poison or a remedy.”
-Paracelsus

Healers are learned people, highly skilled in the
art of healing, and have knowledge of the
anatomy and ethology of several different
species. But above all, they have extensive
knowledge of the healing or destructive
properties of plants and other substances. They
are masters at brewing various decoctions and
ointments that they use in their ministry as
healers and counsellors.
Most healers are gentle, life-affirming beings,
who wish everyone a peaceful life. But some
have been mistreated and have begun to
exploit their knowledge for dark purposes.

Heroic ability Brewmaster

✦ Requirements: Healing FV 12

✦ Will Score: Varies

This ability requires brewing utensils as well as
ingredients. You can refill on ingredients with a
successful roll for BUSHCRAFT. You will then
find ingredients for D6 simple brews. Rare and
unique ingredients, for more advanced and
potent brews, are more difficult to replace, GM
determines need and supply.
The brewmaster collects all his recipes in a
recipe book. Without this, it will be difficult to
remember all the recipes. A Brewmaster has
knowledge of all the basic brews as well as the
elixirs of disease he/she has developed or
acquired in some other way.
As a brewmaster, you can in one stretch mix a
strengthening tonic or herbal ointment, yields
2-10 doses, with common herbs and
substances. It costs 3 WP and provides one of
the effects below, within a stretch.
In one shift, you can produce one of the poisons
in the Basic Rules p. 52 – 53 or a brew that gives
1 + 1 effect/power level (2 – 4 effects). A
maximum of 3 of the same effect, but it is
possible to combine different effects. This
requires a cauldron and costs 3 WP/power
level.
❖ Gives Boons/Banes on a roll.
❖ Remove/Gives 1 condition.
❖ Heals +D4 HP.
❖ Recovering +D4 WP (even at a round rest)
❖ Antidote +1 power level, (br p. 52 – 53).
❖ Halves the remaining Healing Time on
Severe Injury, (br p. 51).
PC can give its own suggestions for other
effects, but GM decides on case-by-case if it is
possible to prepare the brew. In general,
extremely potent poisons and elixirs against
diseases with a poison strength/infectivity
value of 15 or more, requires rare or unique
ingredients.
Elixir against diseases:
Finding a working elixir takes one to several
shifts and requires the right accessories. In the
meantime, the basic rules of disease apply.
Every shift the healer works on a cure, GM rolls
an open opposed roll between the contagious
potency of the disease and the healer's healing
skill, with a boon. If the roll is successful, the
healer has found and produced a potent elixir.
If the patient defeats the disease or dies, this
will be the last shift that the healer can try to
find a working elixir.
✦ Cost: Finding a cure 3 WP/shift
Brew remedy 1 WP/power level.
✦ Effect: An elixir makes the sick person fully
recover within D4 days.
Consume too much brew:
You can't drink unlimited amounts of a brew;
your body can't handle it. If you drink more
than one dose/shift, you become exhausted,
sickly or dazde, for every brew you drink too
much of. More of the same ointment on a
wound will do no good. On the other hand, you
can combine several different decoctions
during one shift.
Most brews are drunk and processed from a
living body. However, some brews are those
that work as soon as the vessel breaks. Others,
such as ointments and herbal mixtures, are
applied directly to the skin or an object.

Optional Rule - Mage and Brewmaster

A mage who acquires the heroic ability learns to brew a potion that absorbs the magical power of some
of the mage's spells. The power is bound until the brew is used. A potion requires rare or unique herbs
and substances. The mage does not need a recipe book but can write down the recipes in the spell
book. The brew takes a shift to brew and costs 3 WP/spell level, the potion for magic tricks costs 2 WP.
No Seal/Permanence spell can perpetuate the brew itself. The power of the potion will be equal to the
power level chosen by the mage when the spell is cast.
The cost of brewing a magic potion is the cost of the heroic ability + the cost of the spell. The cost
cannot be spread over several shifts. Example: A healing potion, power level 2, costs 6 + 4 WP to produce. A
magic potion, Sensing magic, costs 2+1 WP to make.

Generally, it is spells with Touch/Personal or a smaller sphere that work to bind in a potion, GM decides.
Failure and Dragon Roll:
If the mage fails his skill roll when casting the spell, the potion becomes unusable and must be
discarded. If the mage rolls a dragon roll (1), the spell does not cost any WP to cast. The brew still has
the same cost.
Suitable tricks and spells to bind:
Sensing magic, Hairstyle, Cook (pouring into food), Puff of smoke (crash), Warm/cool, PROTECTOR, TREAT
WOUND, HEAL WOUND, SLEEP, RESTORATION, FROST (crash), WIRLWIND (crash), FIRE VORTEX (crash), LONG
STRIDE, STONE SKIN, FLY, CHARGE Charged WP is divided over the number of doses brewed (CHARGING power level
3 (30 VP), costs 48 WP to make).
