A module for FoundryVTT that includes over 600 fantasy plants from Broderick's Compendium: Plants and Fungi Across the Realm (version 2.0) (Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/83oupp/brodericks_compendium_plants_and_fungi_across_the/). I did not create any of the plants. This addon includes rolltables for the following regions as per the source material:
- Arctic
- City
- Coastal
- Desert
- Forest
- Jungle
- Mountain
- Ocean
- Plains
- River
- Swamp
- Underdark & Cave
Roll tables and plants are included as compendiums. Open up the roll table and select the region type your party is searching in. Results will be added to a "Found Plants" loot actor for distribution to the players.
This module is a fork of the wonderful FoundryVTT-FantasyPlants module by Kyle Bishop, but has since received a ton of updates:
- Cleaned-up CSS on item descriptions.
- Picture or icon for every plant.
- Every plant description contains the biomes where to find it.
- Some already legendary plants get an additional info, if they are "Exceedingly Rare".
- Rebalanced roll tables.
- Compatibility for the new rarity setting, which got introduced by the DND5E 1.4.0 system.
- and more

Install Better Rolltables and Loot Sheet NPC 5E for enhanced functionality.
Install Compendium Themer to custom style the compendiums.

I currently use this in my campaign to allow players to forage. If you use the included roll tables for the region(s) they are in, you can select the Generate Loot button on the table, it will create a new instance of the item on the Actor "Found Plants" in the Actors tab (it will create that loot actor if you don't have it already).
I also have Forien's Unidentified Items add-on and right-click the new plant and mystify before letting the players see it/access it. You can save a copy to your items for reference if you want.
I hope, that someday I am able to add images (only free-to-use) to every plant in the compendium.Replace icons with images (AI image generation is a godsent for this!)- Add seasons and prices to the plants.
Add a second compendium with potions and mixtures made from the plants (and their prices).- Where needed, add more information on the appearance of the plants.
- Add more plants, monsters and potions.
