Mastery: Brewing by

# Mastery Path: Brewing
Myrias is home to dozens upon dozens of different spirits, ales, and all manner of inebriatives! Enter the brewers, the heroes of the common folk who drown the sorrows of those who can't get over the fact that their fields were burnt down by foreigners, or their kin murdered by a band of rogues. No matter the scenario, one can always rely on the nearest tavern to help them live another day.
___
The brewers of Verifoss have turned this hobby into a craft, however, and started using these brews as pregame when going on missions! These brews, however, are stronger and more specialized than the average slew that you find in the land, with the specific intention of bolstering abilities of its constituents.

## Becoming a Brewer

Upon taking this **Mastery** at level 1, you **gain proficiency in Brewer's Tools or Cook's Tools**, and you are able to produce and brew drinks or food respectively that you can distribute and drink at leisure. Choosing either proficiency has no 
___
## Creating Brews

At the end of every mission, you may explain to the DM that you mean to brew something. You may choose from the list of craftable drinks available at your mastery level and spend the gold required to make it. After deciding what you're making, you will make **a Dexterity or Charisma-based Brewer's Tools check** to see if the brew was a success.

### Alternative: Cooking
The player can opt to instead gain proficiency in **Cook's Tools** in order to make use of this mastery. Doing so grants no mechanical advantage to the mastery.

## Consuming Brews
The consumption of a brew takes **10 minutes**. This process can be expedited and the brew can be consumed as an **Action**, but the character must succeed on a **DC 20 Constitution Saving Throw** or begin retching for the next minute, becoming incapacitated and gaining no benefit from the brew.
___
A fully consumed brew lasts until the end of the session it was consumed in. Consuming other brews after this one will cancel out the old effect.

## Furthering Your Mastery

For each mastery point you invest in Brewing beyond the first, you must choose an origin that you will specialize in. Whenever you create a brew of that specific origin, you gain new benefits as listed below:

|Origin Investment|Effect|
|:---:|:---:|
|0|No effect|
|1|You can procure one additional brew on a success for half the brew's original price.|
|2|You can create two brews of this origin during mastery crafting.|
|3|You roll with advantage when crafting brews of this origin.|
|4|Some brews of this origin can be **enhanced** when the crafting check exceeds 24.|
___
You are able to make drinks that are accessible by your mastery level in brewing. For example, if you have two mastery levels in brewing, you are able to make drinks that are of Tier 2 and below.
