Serpentvine Leaves are dark green, large leaves obtained from the elusive Serpentvine, a rare and dangerous vine that grows in the depths of shadowy jungles and damp caverns. The leaves have a distinct serpentine pattern running along their edges and exude a faint scent reminiscent of earth and subtle venom. Due to the dangerous nature of Serpentvine habitats, acquiring Serpentvine Leaves can be a perilous task. They are often found in the possession of experienced herbalists, alchemists, or adventurers who have ventured into treacherous environments. The leaves are sought after by poison-focused characters, those looking to bolster their defenses against toxins, or individuals interested in crafting potent poison-related concoctions.
Serpentvine Leaves should be handled with caution, as their venomous properties can be harmful when mishandled or ingested without proper preparation. They are typically dried and stored in secure containers to maintain their potency. When preparing a potion, the leaves are ground, steeped, or otherwise processed to extract their venomous essence and combine it with other ingredients. When brewed into a potion, Serpentvine Leaves can grant temporary resistance to poison damage and enhance poison-based attacks. The venomous properties of the leaves are harnessed to bolster the consumer's defenses against toxins and empower their own poisonous abilities.
Brewing Serpentvine Leaves into a potion yields the following effects for 1 hour:
Poison Resistance: The character gains resistance to poison damage. This provides a reduction in the effects of poisons and toxins, making them less harmful.
Enhanced Poison Attacks: The character's poison-based attacks are augmented. Any attacks or abilities that deal poison damage are enhanced, either increasing the damage dealt or inflicting additional effects.
