Allow nested Herbalists to craft medicine

I didn't realize when I first nested my herbalist that it would keep her from making medicine so I nested her first-day so I wouldn't forget. I was going to just deal with it, and then my lead got sick and I wasn't about to attempt to gather SC, which is a pain to gather as-is when you're growing your den as a new player, to buy medicine for 100+SC. I sucked it up, bought some GC, and bought an instant birth feather so I could get medicine made.

It's also kind of a double standard, isn't it? Your lead wolf, if female, can still go out exploring when nested. Can get into fights and whatnot and not risk losing pups or anything, but your herbalist can't even go to the bear?

absolutely support

my herbalist is also my main/only breeding female. i realize thats not an on site feature but its how i play. i delay nesting them until the last day since the more herbs/cures i have stockpiled the better. i very nearly accidentally scheduled my herbalist to make cures well past rollover, and since theres no option to cancel, id have lost my only litter of the season since you cant nest while working

honestly id go so far as to say within the first two days of pregnancy, nested or not, wolves should still be able to perform their roles. maybe with slower energy regen on day 3, and then incapable of working at all on the final day.

i support the idea but why can't we add 1 or 2 more herbalists to the pack to make things easier for a pregnant herbalist who is nested wouldn't it be easier? its like having more the one hunter or pup-sitter and its like having 2 scouts if we had more then one herbalist then the ill wolves would still get the remedy they need for a certain illness

I support this because if you nest a pregnant female herbalist too early you are unable to mix medicines to cure your ill wolves just as if you are using the herbalism feature you are unable to nest a pregnant female herbalist before rollover which puts you at risk of losing a litter.

I don't support, because you can nest the day before birth. It even gives you a warning if you have unnested females the last day of their pregnancy. As others mentioned, a nice workaround to this issue is to have a male herbalist, or stock up on the cures you need before you breed her. Perhaps even swap another wolf into the herbalist role while you wait. 

What I do support is a way to unnest your wolf! That goes for any female of any role, just in case you nest the wrong female by mistake.

Support, as you only get one herbalist, and I can see the problem if they're nested and you have a wolf fall sick while they're nested. Especially if the illness is lethal or you still need to research/craft that particular medicine. However, there are probably already a few potential ways around it? Ie, my herbalist is a male, so this wouldn't be a problem for me, and it may often be enough to stack medicines or buy off TC for the odd time this happens. I would guess, anyway ^^" so, support, but there may be other ways around this
