Yeah, this is something I made when I was feelin' bored. If you like it you can fill in the gaps. I only finished some of it, I'm going to work on it a bit more later.






Wine: Rettus Wine Journal for the Connoisseur

Profession [Wine-Maker]: The user can manufacture elegant wines for the discerning palate.

Wine can be created, whenever the user has a vineyard, (or other suitable field growing fermentable plants), the appropriate reagents and workshop in which to process them.

Using Poor [Wine Reagent]’s, the user takes a –2 on his check, and cannot create Fine Wine

Using Fine [Wine Reagent]’s, the user has a +2 on his check, and cannot create Poor Wine

Using a Master-Work Workshop, the user has a +2 on his check. This does not apply to those untrained in Profession [Wine-Maker]


Wine Workshop, 3000gp
This building is filled with tubs, cisterns, barrels and numerous other accessories for making wine. The acrid odor of alcohol is heavy in the air, mixed with the fruity smell of grapes.

Wine Workshop [Masterwork], 5000gp
This building is filled with tubs, cisterns, and barrels, all with gilt engraving and finely made and numerous other well crafted accessories for making wine. There is a deliciously fruity aroma of fine wines and you feel you can taste them already.

Wine Bottle [Poor] 3cp
This bottle looks like it has been pieced together by a glass-blower with hiccups. Bumps and ridges cover it, and in some places, the wine has leaked, only to be patched up with labels. The wine inside is doubtless to taste horrific.
Wine Bottle [Average] 6cp
This bottle looks like an average, cheap bottle. Nothing special. The wine inside is probably strong enough to drown your sorrows, without leaving a taste that’s too bad in your mouth.
Wine Bottle [Fine] 1gp
This bottle looks as though it has been made with fine glass, and is almost completely smooth and flawless. The wine within almost certainly was made by a craftsman, and drinking it sounds like a good idea.
Wine Bottle [Masterwork] 50gp
This bottle is a masterpiece. Gilt engravings and embellishing cover it, and the glass reflects the light like polished crystal. The wine inside must be worthy of royalty.

Grapes (White or Red): It costs 1 gp/ 5 square feet of land to plant grapes. There is no need to re-plant after a year. On a check of Profession [Farmer] over a year, the following results yield

2-5 Poor Grapes
6-16 Average Grapes
17-20 Fine Grapes

There is an annual yield of 1 bottle/5 square feet of land, worth of Grapes of the same wine quality. Alternatively, the user can use Fine Grapes to have 2 bottles/5 square feet of Average wine, or 4 bottles of/ 5 square feet of Poor Wine. Average Grapes can be used to create 2 bottles/5square feet of Poor Wine.

Racial Wines:

Different races have wines that they enjoy and cultivate purely for themselves. You’re unlikely to find these at anywhere else than at their source. Replace the relevant bonus or penalty with the one listed when drinking the appropriate wine.

Human: Humans use average wine, no extra benefits.

Elven: Elvish wine revitalizes the mind, and usually drunk only by the discerning connoisseur. A favourite among younger men with cash to spare. However, it also is quite a weak wine, and would never be favoured among fighting classes.

All wines made in Elven distilleries give a +2 to INT, a +2 to CHA, a +2 on Will saves and a –2 to CON and WIS

[Taste]
This wine has a soft and delicate taste, subtle undercurrents and hints of Elvish delicacies caress your senses. You feel as if you understand the world a bit better now.

Dwarven: Dwarven wine is a strong, hearty drink that Dwarves drink when they can afford it over mead. A favourite among fighters. It’ll perk up your sword arm, sure enough, but don’t expect to contribute great intellectual conversation.

All wines made in a Dwarven distillery give a +2 to STR and CON, a –2 to INT and WIS, and a +2 on Fortitude Saves

[Taste]
This wine is extremely strong, it barrages your senses, and you begin to feel as though you can hear the war-chants of ancient warriors. You feel as though you could take on an army single-handed if you drank a keg of this.

Halfling: Halfing wines are a made to a secret recipe, but no doubt contains some substances usually out-lawed in conservative settlements and gathered by nervous Druids looking to make quick cash. Due, no doubt to the contents, subjects often feel slightly ill and have been known to make rash decisions, such as following that pink elephant over that cliff.

All wines made in a Halfling distillery give a +2 to DEX and CHA and a –2 to CON and WIS

[Taste]
This wine is quite pleasant tasting, you begin to feel bubbly and light after drinking it. The aftertaste lingers in your mouth, and you’re sure you saw something floating in there that conservatives shouldn’t be ingesting.

Half-Orc

Half Orcs in Orc settlements do not make wine, those in human settlements make wine according to Human rules.

Half-Elf

Half Elves in Elf settlements make wine according to Elf rules, those in human settlements make wine according to Human rules.

Gnomes:

Gnomes are quite adept wine-makers, they can attempt to create human wines at no penalty, or emulate the wines of other races [Average or Poor only] at a –5 to their Profession [Winemaking] Check
