Notes

• This skill, Psychogeologist, and Insectologist are mutually exclusive. Learning one of the latter skills will remove this skill.
• This skill grants extra Moxie substats after fights:

Look, a rare plant! No, over there! Over... no, to your left. Your other left. Just... never mind, have a Moxie point instead. -- or -- You find a rare magical plant, callidus inspicens, which is notable for raising the Moxie of people who look at it. -- or -- You find some rare and unusual plants, which most people would have simply overlooked, but not you baby, not you! -- or -- You find some weird-looking plants, which your knowledge of rare plants lets you know are poisonous, and therefore you shouldn't eat them, and that makes you feel very clever for not eating them. -- or -- You notice some rare and unusual plants nearby, which makes you feel like a canny and perceptive person.

You gain 1-2 Smarm.

• This skill may grant certain items after fights:

Out of the corner of your eye, you glimpse a strange and rare plant. And then you turn your head so you can see it with the rest of your eye. And then you pick it up. -- or -- Some weird plants nearby are a perfect chance to engage in some cryptobotany field work. -- or -- You discover a strange plant that you'd previously only seen in blurry textbook photos! (Unless you've gotten this item before, in which case this is the nth time you've seen it.) -- or -- You discover a rare plant growing nearby, and harvest some parts of it that might turn out to be useful. -- or -- You find a rare and unusual plant, and harvest it to increase its rarity. -- or -- Your education in strange and rare plants aids you in identifying a nearby plant as being a strange and rare one.
