potion names
i think potion names should be learned by druids... because imagine i want to catch a wanted person, and i find him in a bar, i could pretend to offer him a drink, which is a sleeping potion (FOR EXAMPLE) or a poisoned potion.
If he is a good druid then he realises its a trap, but if he isnt, he gets caught, this is how it should be.... i think. See what i mean?

The thing is, though, that in real life, you rarely know if someone has put poison in your drink. Doesn't it happen all the time at parties where someone slips GHB or something into drinks? This would be an interesting twist and would make you more weary who you buy from. Than, if you're like royalty or something, you could pay people to test your food.

Well, they already have let players name the poison potion, we call it beer because it hurts your character. I like this idea, but how many different potions should they make for poisons?
What I think they should create is a color changing system. Such like druids need to find some leaves or weeds or something, put them into an already made potion that is poison, then depending on the combination the color would change. And then druids could make a nice profit off of assasinations.

Dru·id [ droo-id ] (plural Dru·ids)
noun
1. history: priest in ancient Celtic religion: a priest in an ancient religion practiced in Britain, Ireland, and Gaul until the people of those areas were converted to Christianity
2. religion: modern follower of ancient Celtic religion: somebody who worships the forces of nature by means of meditation, prayer, and celebration of the Earth, seen as a modern-day representative of the ancient Celtic religion
[Mid-16th century. Directly or via French from Latin druides “druids,” of prehistoric Celtic origin. Probably from an Indo-European compound, “tree, strength,” (the ancestor of English tree and true) and “seer.”]
These guys with the poison and all are rather alchemists, I think.

I agree with Cuderon. Illarion's "druids" are not druids. Traditionally in fatasy druids have powers to command nature and the elements (or rather, ask nature to do things). In example, move trees, create earthquakes, or talk to animals, or such things. I don't think that we should create a whole new system for these things, but I think we shouldn't call our druids, druids. Instead, call them potion brewers or something. (although potion brewer sounds kinda lame )
