Nature;
Natural Medicine
You can create remedies and other herbal products. You gain the
basic alchemy benefits, though they apply only for herbal items: alchemical items with the
healing trait, plus
antidote and
antiplague. You gain batches of infused reagents per day equal to your level or half your level if you didn't make your daily preparations in the wilderness. Your advanced alchemy level for creating these is 1 and doesn't increase on its own. You become an expert in
Nature and can use Nature instead of
Crafting to
Craft herbal items. You don't need to be trained in Crafting or have the
Alchemical Crafting feat to do so, and you can use
healer's tools instead of
alchemist's tools.
Special You can't select another dedication feat until you have gained two other feats from the herbalist archetype.
Alchemical Plant Items

When you create an herbal elixir, you can prepare it as a poultice instead. A poultice gains the
oil trait (but remains alchemical, not magical) and loses the
elixir and
ingested traits. You can apply a poultice by Interacting with one hand. When you apply a poultice, in addition to the item's normal effects, the recipient can attempt an immediate flat check to recover from a single source of
persistent acid, bleed, or fire damage, with the DC reduction from appropriate assistance.

During your daily preparations, you find medicinal plants endemic to your location. Until your next preparations, you can spend an additional batch of herbs to add a benefit to an item you create with your herbalism. The benefit of the special herbs affects the creature that the item is applied to; if the benefit is not immediate, it lasts for 1 minute unless otherwise stated. This adjustment counts as an
additive, so you can't include another additive without spoiling the item.
