Alligator skin (porobably the closest thing to a dragon in the real world) is used to make boots. That's thin, supple leather! There's a huge, untapped market for dragonhide light & medium armor! I know it!! What I don't know is what the attributes would be.Ok, for my next trick, i will pull sets of dragonhide armor out of my... hat. Dragons in the MM are divided into 12 ages. Each age allows for a corresponding +to natural AC inherent in the armor. This is NOT automatic. The crafter has to roll IN ADDITION to determining if the armor is masterwork or not. 20 on a 20 sider works for me. A wyrmlings maximum armor bonus would be +1 in addition to the armor type; leather is AC2, full plate is AC 8. That's without enhancements, but pricing & rarity would treat the armor as if it were enhanced. So, a set of wyrmling dragonhide LEATHER armor would be AC 3, full plate made from wyrmling dragonhide (we are talking 16 wyrmlings for a medium sized set of armor) would be AC 9. UNENHANCED full plate made from the hide of a great wyrm would be AC 20. There's only enough "suitable" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt="(:" title="Smile    (:"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname="(:" /> no pun intended dragon hide on a colossal sized dragon for 1 set of medium sized full plate armor.For those of you that say that's too uber & everybody will want one, i say this. 16 wyrmlings to make one set of medium sized masterwork armor, 1 out of 20 sets of masterwork dragonhide armor has the additional natural AC bonus. All things being equal, the party has to kill 20 great wyrms to get one set of AC 20 full plate. Breastplate is supposed to be the same amout of dragonhide to make, but you can make twice as many sets of banded suits from the same amount of dragonhide. That's crazy. Full plate is AC 8, chain shirt is AC 4, leather is AC 2. If you can make 1 set of full plate, you can make 2 sets of AC 4 armor or 4 sets of AC 2 armor or 8 sets of AC 0 armor.I also think dragonhide should have resistance to the breath of that kind of dragon. Going back to the 12 ages, I say 3% resistance for each age. The worked dragonhide from a white dragon wyrmling would have 3% resistance to white dragon breath. The worked hide from a gold dragon great wyrm would have 36% resistance to gold dragon breath.Sound fair?"</blockquote>
