Drow sleeping poison. Where?

It's better than carrion crawler brain juice, and cheaper as well. I'd just say the special materials required are usually found only in drow cities. Those materials cost (insert number) times more in a city like Silverymoon.

Well, the 75 gp cost includes the materials. It's what it costs to make a single does, so I'd be less like to charge high prices for the ingrediants, but more likely to make the ingrediants hard to come by or just up the DC. If the DC is high enough, it can be made of common oatmeal for all I care.

If you're player wanted to make it, and he knew how, what you set the DC to? I'm really interested in DM perspective on this. Myself, I'd be inclined to set the DC at 22.

22 Sounds good.

For the materials: I have one drow with Craft(Poisonmaking) in the Party, and I split the components in three parts: One part he searches in the wilderness of the underdark, the other in underdark cities (some fungus that grows because of the cities' refuse) and a third that consists of normal components found in shops - for 15 gp a dose.

I also changed the rules a little so he could make the stuff faster - that's mainly because they'll soon enter the City of the Spider Queen adventure and won't have much time to make poison anyway. The 60gp he saves per dose won't make much difference, and it's more fun for the players if they can make the stuff themselves.
