Create a Rule titled ‘Skills’:

A Monk may have Proficiency in a Skill. All Skills are listed as clauses within this Rule.

Botany: Any Monk who has Proficiency in this Skill whose location is represented by an ‘h’ on the Map may decrease eir Moves by eight, if eir Moves are greater than eight. The ‘h’ then becomes a ‘.’ on the Map. After doing so, e shall make a DICE20 check in the GNDT, and gains an Item according to the following table:

Add the following clause to the ‘Reagents’ Rule:

Isn’t it impossible to be on an “h” as it’s not empty?

for “The Herbalist has proficiency in Herbalism” may also need to be fixed.  I wonder what the item “No item gained” does?!
