Message: <blockquote data-quote="Feathercircle" data-source="post: 860222" data-attributes="member: 11266">As promised, the para-elemental drakesThe description for the uses of lesser drake parts is mostly on the general drake page, with individual notes on the page of each drake.The hide of a lesser drake can bring a high price in the right market.  It can also attract the attention of templars who mistake the hide for that of an elemental drake.  Possession of an elemental drake's hide is punishable by death, so a seller of lesser drake hides must be careful where he sells his hide.  Possession of a lesser drake hide is not a punishable offense.Lesser drake hides make superior quality leather for armor and for luxury items, such as stuffed chairs/  Of the hide is made into armor it gives extra protection against specific attacks.  Magma drake and sun drake armor give a  +2 bonus to saves against fire-based attacks and reduce the damage to one-half if the save is failed, and one-fourth if the save is successful.  Silt drake armor gives the same protection against any form of choking, suffocation, or dust storm.  Rain drake armor slows dehydration by 50% and affords the same bonuses against dehydrating attacks as the other armors do against their special attack form.  The teeth and claws of lesser drakes can be made into edged weapons of high quality, granting a +1 to all damage they inflict.  The bones of lesser drakes may be formed into bludgeoning weapons with the same +1 bonus to damage because of their solid construction.The digestive juices of lesser drakes can be used in fine metallurgy, or wherever corrosive liquids are required, but last only 1d4+1 days after the drake dies.The hide, teeth, and claws of a magma drake bring a high price in any market.  However, obtaining these items might cost more in lives than is worth the effort.  [Rain drake's] hides, teeth, and claws are valuable commodities, but they must be kept wet, or be specially treated once the drake is dead.The [silt] drake's stomach juices are extremely corrosive and dissolve all metals, animal products (including leather), and plant matter (including cloth)  in a few days.  The teeth of a silt drake are highly prized by aarakockra as badges of courage.  The silt drake teeth can be used to make a sharp knife by anyone with the skill to do it.Surprisingly, the sun drake's ecology makes no mention of the marketability of its hide, claws, or teeth at all.</blockquote>
