Herbalist

Herbalims is an old profession, and herbalists of varying quality can be found throughout the land. Whilst most of the magical power of this skill is derived from the herbs themselves, herbalists will have quasi-magical abilities to derive the greatest benefit from the herb. To some extent the ranger's healing herbs are a simple aspect of the herbalist's skill. Through the use of special herbal mixtures the herbalist can mimic some of the abilities of other skills, in particular those of the healer and of the alchemist. In general a herbalist cannot perform their skills at short notice since the number of herbs and preparations required to meet all needs would be too large to carry, and many preparations have a limited life. But given enough time a competent herbalist can usually find and prepare a herbal mixture to deal with most problems.
