Dragonscale spellbook price

[Kershek]

What market value would you put on a spellbook that was made from a young black dragon?

Depends on whether or not any other dragons know about it....

Well, I don't know how much it costs, but I think it's worth 10000gp to you to pay me *not* to tell it's parent's who's using its skin for decoration

Yeah yeah

Though I would still like some suggestions...

Items like that might be worth about 200gp or 300gp to a mere merchant, but to a collector, they might be priceless. Honestly, I'd just tack on 50gp to the price of the book and be done with it.

Honestly I would really like to see a better official list of special properties (ie: Dragon Scales, Adamantine, etc.) that more clearly defines their purpose and game effect (and gp value of course )

Scales aren't the best thing to make a book out of. I assume you just mean the covers? The cost would depend on campaigns, how common this sort of stuff is. IMC the only way to get this is to go find it, you'll never find it for sale at the local store.

Yes, the covers. I'm DMing a party that killed a young Black Dragon and the Wizard wants a souvenir. He wants to know a market value so we can input it into PCGen. This helps me keep track of everyone's overall wealth.

Okay, personally I don't think they would worth too much. Perhaps a hundred or so gold pieces. You might want to require that the scales have to be treated so they don't rot and the book would be made as the equivlent of a MW item.

Too bad it wasn't a Red dragon. FIre proof covers!
