When foraging for usable herbs in the wild make an Intelligence (Nature) check. If you have proficiency with the herbalism kit you may add your proficiency bonus.
Compare the result to the Foraging DC for herbs in the current terrain. If you meet or exceed one or more Foraging DCs and the conditions are right, the DM selects an herb from the list, and you gather enough of that herb to make a single dose.
Before an herb can be used it must be prepared. When you prepare an herb you must have the specified kit (herbalist or poisoner's) and spend the amount of time crafting that is listed for the herb.
After this time is spent you make an Intelligence check to prepare the dose; you may apply your proficiency bonus to this check if you have proficiency in the specified kit. If you fail the check, a single dose of the herb is ruined, spoiled, or made unusable or ineffective. If you succeed, you create a single dose of the herb in a usable form, which lasts until the expiration described.
