Herb Lists
« on: November 07, 2007, 11:37:54 AM »
I'm looking for books with Herbs and Poisons in them.   So far I've got Character Law, RM Companion I, Shadow World Master Atlas, and HoTH (MERP).

Anyone know of any others?  Are there any other companions (RM2 or RMSS) that have herbs in them ?

Official books?  The Novi setting on the GC has a huge list of herbs - a lot of which look like they were compiled from various RM books.

Gamemaster Law has Herbs and Poisons...don't remember to what degree there is overlap with Character Law.

Essence Companion has a very large list, several pages easy, of herbs.

A lot of the old MERP books had a master herb and poison list.
RM & RM2 lists were different ( a few more herbs/poisons, a few less ), RMSS/FRP one is too.
Same goes for the SW books... as well as the Loremaster ones.

I'll have to do some digging, but IIRC I made a full list once upon a time.

The most complete was Hand of the Healer, that had almost everything.

Balhirath - thanks I've got that listing already.  Did you compile it yourself or get from elsewhere?  I've been trying to figure out where the herbs that don't have a CL# come from.  Any idea?

I'll have to look at it again, since it was made some 6 or 7 years ago and I really cant remember.
The most likely thing is that I got the basics from somewhere and then added to it, since I'm kinda Lazy from time to time :)

Ok, I've been through the Novi herbs and they contain all the herbs from Character Law and RM Companion I.

Essence Companion has no magical herbs, only herbal catalysts, though the descriptions of these mundane herbs is useful.

RMFRP Gamemaster Law's herb list is simply the same one from RM2 Character Law.   Nothing was changed other then tobacco and alcohol were added.

Thanks for the tip on C&T III

Hands of the Healer supposedly contains all the herbs from all MERP books, and also many that also appear in Character Law.

However, in my original master listing (which is similar to Balhirath's), there are many herbs that I've not yet found, a few examples:

Gorfon
Mu-jy-Mirenna
Klandun
Bragolith
Chap Beech Nut
Dextros
Henuial
Kirtir
Muilfana
Numenelos
Plaranata
Sarah-P-H-Head
Strygont
Taynaga
Adrela

Some of these appear in HoTH, but not all, so I suspect there must be another source I'm missing here.   

I recall a couple herbs in Spell User's Companion, I think.   Are there any in Arms Companion?

Hmm some adventures have herbs in them as well. At least I recall some from Thieves of Tharbad and Path of the Dead. I dont have the books here, but I'll check them tomorrow if I get the time.
SUC have the following Herbs:
Vir Jai
Vir Lavan
Tairken Ra
Ubiquitous Panacea Burgeon (How they made up that name, I dont wanna know :))
Xu Ran
Deodar

Arms Companion have 25 herbs and at least some of them are the ones that you are looking for :)
I dont have the energy right now to write them all down, but if you really want them, we can fix that.

Hmm I assume that you have already added the herbs in Arms Law?
I just fipped through some books and the old Minas Tirith have some herbs in it.
Old Castleherb, Dayherb (or Cloud-Eye), Bursthelas and Bread-tree.

Any herbs from MERP supplements should appear in HoTH - or at least that's the claim in HoTH that it is  comprehensive and even includes the original source for each herb.

Which version of Arms Law has herbs in it?

Thanks for the info on Arms Companion - hadn't realized it had herbs in it.

The one with the red border. (It's on Page 26)
I have the old one as well and will check it, but that might take a few days since I dont have it here (unless somebody else do it :))

(I believe these are repeats)

Also Bragolith is in ChL.

Huh, that's strange - those are all repeats but some are from Character Law and some are from Rolemaster Companion I.

My guess: They realised that they missed some herbs in Character Law and them added them to Comp 1 :)
