From The Authentic D&D Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchPlant life is a sage field available to druids, providing familiarity with growing plants, fungus and like growing creatures of natural, non-magical origin, their distribution, cultivation and manner of fertility. The field is divided into different plant forms.
The field includes the following sage studies:
- Bushes & Shrubs: the study of small-to-medium sized woody plants, the majority of which are under 20 feet in height and are more commonly less. Provides knowledge of fruit, perfume, gums, incense, medicinal drugs and many other products.
- Flowers & Sprigs: the study of blooms and blossoms of small plants, as well as vines, stalks, crowns and root masses, their contribution to plant health, beauty and their relationship with certain insects.
- Fungi: the study of fleshy and edible fruit bodies of fungus, yeasts, lichen, moulds and spores, including those that grow above and below ground. Yields knowledge of some sentient forms.
- Grasses & Grains: the study of herbaceous plants, including "true" grasses, sedges and rushes, notably cereals, bamboo and cattails. Includes details about the preparation of staple foods from these plants.
- Mosses & Ferns: the study of plants that grow in dense clumps and mats in damp, shady and subterranean conditions, many of which feature prominently in medicine and magic.
- Trees: the study of large perennials with an enlongated stem, or trunk, supporting branches and leaves of the deciduous, broadleaf and coniferous varieties, as well as the cultivation of these plants.
