Restoratives

Restoratives are a type of magical healing draught sold in the Kingdom of the Isles. They are used to treat illness and injury in Betrayal at Krondor.

Description
Made from a common berry and sold as bright green liquid in clear vials, Restoratives have magical warming and comforting effects that can be felt radiating up the arm and through the body even before it is uncorked. When imbibed, the liquid's warmth starts in the hands and feet, and the drinker's hurts quickly begin to subside.

Literature
Restoratives are frequently mentioned in Sarth's extensive collection of healer's journals. They are compared favorably to Herbal Packs for drawing the critically ill or injured out of immediate danger, and three days indoors on a nightly regimen of four doses of Restoratives and one Herbal Pack can draw patients back from even near-fatal condition.

Properties

 * Stackable up to 24; every vial takes up one Inventory space.
 * Each dose increases Health/Stamina of an injured character.
 * If a character is ill or poisoned, Restoratives will instead gradually decrease the percentage of sickness until it reaches zero before beginning to increase Health/Stamina. The same may be true for starved characters.
 * Certain bushes can be searched for natural ingredients from which Restoratives can be made. As a nod to practicality, the bushes act as caches in which already-prepared vials can be found ready for use.
