'''New Foraged Item Prop'''

Private Properties have plenty of flowers, plants, trees, and other organic offerings built on very basic systems.  This new Foraged Item Prop allows for further customization of the “plant” on your property, and will create “forage” bases that can work with other systems.  Some examples are:

'''If you have a tree on your property, this new system can expand it by:'''

Giving it a look, adding a foraged fruit, adding up to five foraged flowers, adding a foraged leaf, adding foraged bark, and providing a custom scent for the tree.

'''If you have a bush or vine on your property, this new system can expand it by:'''

Giving it a look, adding a foraged fruit, adding up to five foraged flowers, adding a foraged leaf, and providing a custom scent for the bush.

'''If you have a flower, this system can expand it by:'''

Giving it a look, a foraged flower, adding a foraged leaf, and providing a custom scent for the flower.

'''On top of the above, the new system will also denote the following:'''

'''Height of foraged item:'''

Trees provide reaching above head messaging for getting everything but bark.<br>
Shrubs provide waist-level messaging for getting items.<br>
Ground-cover plants provide bending messaging.<br>

'''Position of person interacting with foraged item:'''

All interactions with the item will note if you are standing, sitting, kneeling, or lying down.

'''Racial differences:'''
If you are a Halfling and you are not wearing tall shoes, then you may have difficulty reaching things on a '''tree'''.<br>
If you are a giantman, your positioning is ignored in favor of a longer reach.<br>

'''Lastly, this prop provides the following verbs:'''

'''Gaze''': Provides a list of harvest-able items<br>
'''Attend''': Randomly les you toy with one of the foraged items<br>
'''Pinch''': (only if leaf is an option) lets you pull a leaf off.<br>
'''Pull''': (only if fruit is an option) lets you pull a piece of fruit off.<br>
'''Pluck''': (only if flowers are present) lets you pluck a flower free (randomizes if more than one flower is available).<br>
'''Scratch''': (only if bark is present) lets you remove a bit of bark.<br>
'''Smell''': (only if smell is added) lets you get the customized scent of plant.<br>

You can populate as many fields as the foraged replacement allows.  With the certificate, you would be able to pick which organic item on your property you want to replace (only current tap-able props for the moment) and any qualifying slots.
