Additional ailments Ideas and physicker cures

Post by Umbra »

Venom entering the bloodstream requiring anti-venom.
(Normally only envomened by venomous bites or stings and have various effects from paralyzing to damage where the flesh just seems to degenerate. To acquire the anti-venom you would have to capture or kill the venomous creature and using a vial/container "milk" the fangs or stinger to get the venom [then mix it with other materials I'm sure]

Poison being ingested or at times of physical contact requiring antidote.(poisons can come from herbs, poisonous amphibians like frogs, salamanders, etc. That have poisonous skin/tissue, so would poison you if you ate or touched it] Would require herbalism to gather herbs and grind them up with mortar and pestle [likely some other materials like a vial and water]

Diseases and medicine.(A large variety of ailments that have long durations only being cured by rest or physicker medicine)

Potions granting various effects. (Temporary stat or skill increase, perhaps a type to restore energy quickly[energy drink? Lol], etc.)

Not sure if it would be better to have 1 "super cure" for each type or have the exact materials required like a snake anti-venom for a snake bite or spider anti-venom for spider, could narrow it down for than that but likely not worth it game wise.

Why does this make me want to see a poisoner skill one day? Probably a fun thing for rogues and the like.

Poison would be an interesting concept to have to deal with. Would be cool to see with mobs or even characters

An idea to cure a bleeding, open wound: Being able to use scissors to clip a few strands of long hair from someone for a suture, if you are in a pinch, and out of thread.
