Heartstopper Weed
Description
A cousin of chamomile that packs the same calming effect, but amplified to an absurd degree. Identified by its pale-grey coloration, tea made from the roots and stem of this plant cause a creature’s central nervous system to stabilise at its most optimal conditions - and then prevent absolutely any deviation from these levels. The resulting fugue has been described as a dulling of one’s feelings and an ultimate calm that is unaffected by any external stimuli. While this dampening effect may sound unpleasant to some, others appreciate the stability it provides.
Effect. After preparing this herb, you gain an intense calm for the next hour. During this time, you are unable to gain advantage or disadvantage on any roll.
“Although the plant is useful in tense combat situations, I have often imbibed it for personal use. Such times when an incredible calm has served me in the past include (but are not limited to): talking to my publisher, sitting through a mediocre play written by a friend, being forced to eat a meal with one of my critics, and being cornered in the washroom by one very overzealous fan (for more on that last anecdote, see Hamunds Hilarious Headaches, volume XIV). Hamund” — Hamund
