GM Tip: The Dangers of Foraging

When a player character wishes to go out into the wild to forage for ingredients, caution
should be taken into consideration. As a GM, you must exercise judgment on how readily
available such items should be. One cannot walk outside the city gate and stumble upon
thousands of Septim’s worth of legendary ingredients. Consider the above table’s DC to Find
column. There it lists the CR for creatures to be harvested from, but this can also be used as a
helpful guide for what sorts of creatures lurk in the environment with these ingredients.
Common ingredients can be found along the road, but so can wolves and bandits, which are
appropriate to the suggested CR. Perhaps your characters seek out Crimson Nirnroot, which
for the purpose of this example, we shall say is rare. For such a task, adventurers would need
to first brave the depths of Black Reach, and perhaps must defeat a Dwarven Dynastor (CR
11), which guards an area that is covered in Crimson Nirnroot. As a general rule, rare or higher
quality ingredients can only be found far out of the way, and only within lairs of great danger.

Example: Brewing a Potion of Climbing

If you have 100 Septims worth of common ingredients and have the necessary time and
equipment, you can begin to brew a potion of climbing (a common item found in the Core 5e
rules). You will first need to make an Intelligence attribute check using an Alchemical
Apparatus Set. If you’re a 5th level character with an Intelligence modifier of +3, and are
proficient with Alchemical Apparatus Set, you’ll have a +6 to the d20 roll. If you roll a 4 or
higher, you will succeed on a DC of 10. Let’s say you rolled a 15 for a total of 21. You then take
that 21 and multiply it by the DC of 10 for a total of 210. This tells you that you succeeded in
brewing the potion at half the time it would normally take because this total is double the
number of the cost of the item. With the suggested crafting time of 1 day (8 hours of work) for
a common potion, doing it in half that, with only 4 hours of work time.

blinded. The smoke dissipates after 1d10 minutes. The brew is spoiled as a result.

 10 Your brew emits a foul, pungent odor, and is rancid to the taste. If the brew is a potion,
the drinker must make an Endurance saving throw (DC 12) before the effects take pace.
On a failed save, the drinker vomits the potion backup and gains no benefit from it. On a
successful save, the drinker consumes the potion as normal. The brew is otherwise
fine.

11 Your brew instantaneously turns into a caustic acid and destroys your Alchemical
Apparatus Set.

12 Your brew instantaneously turns into a vapor and produces a gas cloud out to a 10-foot
radius. The cloud is centered on the Alchemical Apparatus Set, and each creature within
the cloud is subjected to the effects of the item. The brew is then consumed and is lost.
