Suggested Characteristics

d6 Personality Trait

1 I get caught up in the details of each and every plant that I encounter, often lingering and losing track of time.

2 I prosthelytize to companions, acquaintances, and even complete strangers about the amazing dietary and medicinal benefits of plants.

3 I carry a pouch of seeds with me at all times and make a point to plant one in a patch of open soil each day when the sun is at its zenith.

4 Having spent so much time in the company of plants, I do struggle to make meaningful connections with more “active” creatures.

d6 Ideal

1 Medicine: Herbalism is the most important academic discipline because of the help and the harm that it can do to others. (Any)

2 Gain: My skills are in high demand, and I will sell medicines or poisons to the highest bidder. (Evil)

3 Knowledge: There is an herbal remedy for every malady in the multiverse, and I will one day know them all. (Neutral)

4 Chance: The power of life and death may exist in different parts of the same plant, and fools are free to discover death if they cannot tell the difference. (Chaotic)

5 Peace: Though plants have both the ability to give life and to take it, my skills must always be used for the good of those around me. (Lawful)

6 Balance: The wildlands contain so many blessings that can benefit civilization, and we must maintain a proper balance in our relationship with nature. (Good)

d6 Bond

1 A younger sibling of mine died when I was a child, and a simple herbal remedy would have been enough to defeat the disease. I’ll never allow this to happen again on my watch.

2 The deity whom I serve is a patron of natural remedies.

3 One never knows when a potion or poison might make the difference in an encounter. Always be prepared.

4 My mother taught me everything that I know about plants, and I live my life to honor her memory.

5 My knowledge of plants gives me the upper hand in any situation.

6 Nature provides everything that we need for survival, and we must do our part to protect nature in return.

d6 Flaw

1 People are a mystery to me. Plants are so much easier to understand.

2 I am addicted to some of the “medicinal” properties of the plants that I harvest.

3 Although I am passionate about herbalism, I am also highly allergic to most pollen, so I find myself sneezing constantly.

4 I move slowly, and I am never in a hurry. Why rush through life? Stop and smell the roses.

5 My teeth are permanently stained green from the herbal teas that I consume.

6 The plants that I work with have very long and complicated names that I cannot pronounce, so I make up shorter names that are easier to remember.
