An herbalism kit is different from an alchemist’s tools or a poisoner’s kit. Herbs are the main ingredient used in potions, while chemicals are the base of alchemist kits. The two are very different. Herbalists focus on finding/growing herbs necessary to create healing potions and antitoxins. Herbalists know plants and how to use them. They can create balms and salves that can be used to treat diseases. Proficiency in this kit is required to create antitoxins and potions of healing.
