[QUOTE="Feathercircle, post: 1101667, member: 11266"] Actually, I looked at the first page, and he said to go right ahead and post things from Dragon since they're unlikely to be reprinted elsewhere... and he already had the darkmantle reference that I mentioned. On a similar note, BOZ, should I scour my extensive two-magazine collection of Dungeon as well, or should I leave those alone? Regardless, from Dragon 193 we have: However, (again, according to Emerald) the powdered remains of [the spiderstone golem are useful in the creation of magical scrolls and items related to spiders, webs, and the abilities of of spiders (e.g.; a scroll of[I]spider climb, cloak of arachnida, arrow of slaying arachnids,[/I] etc.). Except in the services of their masters, brain golems have no place in the ecology of the underearth. However, parts of them are useful in the manufacture of mind-affecting magical items (according to Sage Emerald, at least). And in Dragon 161, in case we missed it, the griffon: An exceedingly rare species of griffon is known to have a peculiar sense that allows it to detect gold up to 10' away. Since gold is of little value to griffons except as nest decoration, they do not often excercise this ability. Even so, this species can tell a fake piece of gold at a glance. A narrow strip of dark fur over the middle of the chest seems to grant this ability. It is possible to use this fur to enchant an item to locate gold. The difficulty in this is that the fur must come from a live griffon, and few if any are willing to part with their fur. If fur is removed from a live donor (which is necessary in order for this power to be transferred), the griffon's gold-detecting ability fades for a year while the fur grows back on its chest.
