Skulking Thyme

Skulking Thyme

  Plant Elements: Rare, Healing   Skulking thyme is a rare herb that can be found in forests around the world of Aragoth. It is hard to find because of how it grows along the base of trees and typically takes on a similar shade of color to help hide its presence. It is a parasite as well, and uses the tree's sap to provide energy to itself storing its own energy.  

Common use

  The common use of skulking thyme involves collecting and drying its leaves. Once the leaves are brittle, they are then mixed with various ales creating a rare ale that has the ability to not only inibriate an individual but it also provides a temporary boost in health. Of course, because of the rarity of the herb and the drink, both go for high prices in the market when they can be obtained at all. A bushel of Skulking thyme (about a pound) runs for roughly 25gp on average. A bottle of Thyme Ale can cost about 50gp at a minimum, though the cost is often increased, particularly if there is a shortage of Skulking Thyme.

Game Mechanics

  Thyme Rum will provide 4 temporary hitpoints when you have drank at least a pint, or half a bottle, of the ale within a minute. However; due to the strong nature of the drink you have to make a constituion save with a DC of 13 the first time you drink a pint within a minute.   The temporary hit points can stack, however; you have to drink a pint worth of the liquid each time, and it has to be within 3 minutes of the most recent imbibement. The Constition save DC increases by 2 points each time you stack the drink.   Finally, if you drink more than 4 pints of Thyme Ale within 24 hours it will drop you to zero hit points, knock you unconscience, and you have to be stablized, or make death saves.   The plant on its own has no affect on a person if they eat it, as it requires the particular ale mixture to activate its properties.
