Great video
I have long had this idea for a homebrew character class that takes some inspiration from the Alchemist class from Pathfinder 1E. The basics is that a character uses a wide variety of potions, elixirs, alcohols, pharmaceuticals, narcotics and other substances for their spell casting. Imagine someone who has complete control over their own biochemistry and can just as easily manipulated the biochemistry of other’s for both healing, buffing, harming and debuffing. Of course this comes with no small amount of risk, especially when using more powerful spells and abilities.
I hear you're looking for a good, fun, trippy time? You don't need all those expensive, hard to find, and potentially dangerous substances… no, you just need a good sense of humor and some apple pie.
11:50 Blood root is a real plant. Though it doesn't look like your picture depicts. It's found in the Southeast United States mountainous regions.
One of the easiest places to find it is Montesano National Park just outside Huntsville city in North Alabama. It grows thick like nets under the loose soil, just off the hiking trails of the park. You can literally reach into the soil and pull it up in clumps. If you break one of the roots, it looks like it bleeds actual blood.
Some of the old-timers swear that if you rub it on your skin, it will cure skin cancer. I have no clue if it's true. I don't know anyone that has ever checked.
If ingested in extremely small amounts, it does give an energy boost like your description describes, though too much, and it could become toxic.
In a strixhaven campaign one of the students peer pressured the players to try polymorphine.
AJ Pickett is my most highly recommended D&D Lore Expert
What about white resin from the Yuan-ti.
I really wish consumables where more common in dnd. Something like how monster hunter uses consumables.
I get that the point of creating fictional narcotics for a ttrpg is for them to have a mechanical risk/reward gamble, but as casual recreational drugs, these suck.
Think I'd rather stick to weed and whiskey.
This is one I have been waiting for, thank you AJ!
Recent campaigm a player whose character was a bard with an urchin background as a petty thief wanted to pop a perc, i said that he could but i wanted to give it an in universe flair. In our 3am stupidity we came up with "cummies" the colloquial term for a drug made using powderized basilisk semen, whose mild paralyzing effects when turned down enough and diluted are basically a percocet.
Time to give Khajit wears
Pretty nifty ideas. On to your homebrew video!
Alchemist's Mercy is useful!
Legendary substance? Imagine the herb provided by Willie Nelson is a legendary substance… no doubt some druid would have to start a circle simply to contain its power.
Adding the Exhaustion Levels (revised) to my hippy commune, as I'm sure narcotics will be present
I just finished Plague of Spells (book 1 of Abolethic Sovereignty) and was surprised to not find traveler's dust on this list. It has a potentially otherworldly origin from what I've gathered and a pretty sinister effect aside from the usual befuddlement and lethargy common to narcotics. Most relevant to the user in the book is increased perception of the far (or perhaps ethereal) realm in the form of being aware of another character who astral projects in her sleep. Downsides include a rapid degradation of health until the point of an untimely death, however the cause seems to harken back to the otherworldly nature of the drug as opposed to natural complications.
Wild magic wizard or sorcerer but instead of random magic effects it drug effects on enemies or allies and themselves. basically a drug wizard and sorcerer
THE BEST. THE MOST COMPLETE. THIS CHANNEL IS AWESOME!!!!
I ended up using Blinkmoth Serum from MTG and turned it into a drug in my homebrew world.
I'm glad I came across this video, my players recently ran into Dionysus at a party in the woods.
Swiftsleep would be better than a gold mine in the real world. Multibillion-dollar business, easy.

Where is Luiren the halfling narcotic cheese?
Thank you for this!! I had made up weir-root for one of my games years ago. It damaged perception scores while greatly enhancing nature and survival skills. It was D&D psilocybin haha
Another fun thing about Luhix is one of the sample villains in the Book of Vile Darkness is a blue dragon who has become possessed by a demon. If that weren't bad enough, said demon used its time as the dominant personality to get the dragon physically dependent on the drug, meaning the fiend has a potent tool of control in the form of addiction and the pain of withdrawal, since the dragon's fix is delivered by a quasit who serves the possessing demon.
I've considered doing something like this in a game, since it comes across as a truly wicked means of making possession so much worse.
In our campaigns, we just had real-world drugs. Our halfling had a grow room in an extra dimensional space.
For a long time I have had this idea for a character who is an alchemist and a reckless experimenter, always using himself and only himself as a guinea pig. His goal being to create pharmaceuticals so that people won’t have to rely solely on magic to treat illnesses and infections. Of course he would occasionally discover concoctions that would drastically increase his capabilities but always at a price and a high risk of permanent damage or dependency. Just something I thought would be interesting since I had a similar concept while playing Fallout New Vegas.
"Milk them for their infamous death cheese."
AJ sneaking in extra lore tidbits just, as you do.
I'm running a soace-age game currently. One of the NPCs is a doctor.
This video spibs out a whole bunch of thibgs a developed pharmaceutical industry would know and use. I am, thus, delighted.
nothing ends my day better than a facefull of mummydust
Where can i get a pipe like the one from the thumb nail. I can't be the only one who's wondering ?!
Great stuff AJ!
I love Diablo 1 above and beyond all others. Love the soundtrack
Another gem of a video
