Witch's Herbs 5E

Bring your campaign world to life—leaf by leaf! Witch’s Herbs is a comprehensive Fifth Edition supplement for the world's most famous role-playing game, designed to transform how you interact with the wild. Whether you are a dedicated herbalist searching for rare blooms, or a calculating alchemist seeking the perfect ingredients for your alchemist supplies, this compendium is your ultimate herbal tool.

For centuries, common folk held elders in high esteem, viewing them as the sole source of knowledge. Yet, those who truly understood the secret laws of nature—the herbalists and alchemists—were often labeled as witches or warlocks, feared for their alleged magical powers. Every witch kept her own secret book, carefully recording a detailed herb list, unique plant properties, and potion recipes. When witches met—say, during a communal gathering like Walpurgis Night-they would trade secrets and share their knowledge.

We have endeavored to recreate exactly that: an authentic Witch's Book. Inside, you will find authentic folklore, fascinating legends, and the circumstances in which these mystical plants were discovered.

Take your herbalism to the next level. Designed to be used seamlessly with your 5e herbalism kit, this book provides robust 5E mechanics for gathering, preparing, and brewing. Move beyond standard dnd healing potions! Whether your party needs a basic 5E healing potion, a greater healing potion, or a complex arcane elixir, this supplement provides everything a 5E master herbalist needs to craft unique remedies and poisons.

Inside this full-color guide, you’ll uncover 41 detailed plants—from the soothing Aloe Vera to the mystical Fern Flower—each ready to heal, harm, or bewilder your players.
