Gifted with an unnatural affinity for plants, you were whisked away to learn the ancient art of Wild Growing. There are a surprising number of wild growers in the world, often employed by mages, priests, and hermits, and often enslaved by witches. Some simply run their own business with their newfound skills.
- Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, Nature
- Tool Proficiencies: Herbalism kit
- Equipment: Clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, a set of sturdy gardener’s tools imbued with wild magic, a jar of dirt, an embroidered pouch for storing your seeds, and a belt pouch containing 15 gp
Once a week, you are wracked by a bout of coughing, eventually spitting out a handful of Wild Seeds. If you can find a patch of fertile soil in a square of at least 10 feet by ten feet, you can plant a reasonable amount of these seeds. These seeds finish growing after two weeks if you spend at least four hours per week tending to them; otherwise, they die. In the process of tending to your Wild Seeds, you can influence their growth so that they become a Wild Grown Herb of your choosing. Pick from the following table, or roll for a random result. Alternatively, you may discuss with your DM an alternate use for your Wild Grown Herbs, as long as it is no more powerful than the options already presented.
