Message: <blockquote data-quote="BOZ" data-source="post: 883864" data-attributes="member: 1241">a few tidbits from the Forgotten Realms:Menzoberranzan boxed set:Pack lizard ichor is a prized ingredient in potions of vitality, and the essence derived from their boiled feet is valued in the making of sovereign glue.Halls of the High King module:No specific magical use has yet been found for [nyth] essence, but wizards are confident that it will prove useful in devising fire- and magic missile related spells and magic items.Drow of the Underdark sourcebook:Powdered soul spider [myrlochar] bone is a potent ingredient in the making of items and enchantments involving free action and levitation.Pedipalpi poison-sacks (which resemble fistsized, flexible walnuts) are valued by all who deal in poisons: a strong disabling poison can be distilled from them. The spined foreleg-pincers of pedipalpi serve many goblinkin as maces, and the feelers of a pedipalp can be used in battle as a whip (1d2 damage, 1 vs. L), for 3d4 days after the creature is slain. Thereafter, the feelers dry out too much, and crumble into useless fragility. No other parts of pedipalpi are safe or palatable eating for most creatures.Rendered rothe fat is an alternative ingredient in the making of potions of vitality.Spitting crawler toes are a spell ink ingredient and alternative material component for spider climb spells, and a distillate from their acid glands, mixed with water, yields enough acid to fill one glass canister (“grenade-like missile,” as described in the Dungeon Master’s Guide) of acid.Yochlol essence (derived by heating collected portions of a yochlol’s gaseous form in a closed vessel, or boiling portions of one of its physical forms) is a valued ingredient in spell inks, preparations, and castings involving mind blank, shape change, stinking cloud and wraithform spells or item effects.Ruins of Undermountain boxed set:Sages believe [Elder Orb] brains have great potential as a component of spells and item-crafting processes, but no specific uses are documented as yet.An organ in the upper central body of a death kiss is a valued ingredient in magical potions and spell inks concerned with levitation. Rumors tell of a little-known mage in Marsember who uses the eye of the death kiss to cure blindness, although the process grants only infravision. Abrain or nerve node deep in a bleeder’s body hardens into a gem-like, soft-sided but faceted red gem. Called "bloodeyes," these typically fetch a market price of 70 gp each. They are valued for adornment because they glow more brightly as the wearer’s emotions become more intense.When slain, darktentacles’ flesh, eyes, or ichor are excellent for use as spell ingredients and material components for wall of force spells and similar magic items which use that spell.Steel shadow ichor is highly prized by alchemists and wizards as an ingredient in potions, spell inks, and magical item enchantments concerned with animating, heating, and passing through metal. Its skin, properly prepared, contains magic that protects against or lessens lightning and energy damage.Maztica boxed set:Chac skin may be used as a material component for potions of gaseous form or sweetwater, while their claws are useful for some forms of hishna magic.Being a mixture of snake and jaguar, [kamatlan] provide excellent materials for hishna magic, and almost any part of a kamatlan’s body can be put to use by a hishnashaper.[Kamadan] tongues make useful components for sleep potions.If killed, a plumazotl produces a quantity of feathers suitable for featherweaving and pluma magic. A greater plumazotl may yield enough feathers for a blanket of featherweaving.</blockquote>
