A recent influx of dragons due to events in the north has resulted in an explosion of dragon-related item crafting <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> - eg Fraener (PC) dwarf lord of Khundrakar recently sent white dragon hide to Nathia (PC) the Goliath leathersmith of Ironwolf Manor with an order for Boots of the Winterlands. Over the last 17 months of play the PCs have accumulated a lot of found and crafted magic items, this somewhat replaces Feats as a PC build element, and can help with PC survivability. More importantly perhaps, hunting dragons and other monsters for their hide & other components is a nice PC-directed activity/goal.The current Ironwolf/Skulnar group:<a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/Vibrantella/characters/39812138" target="_blank">Greeba</a> of Soravia (Jelena) Half-Orc female Barbarian-6 (Berserker) XP 17,280/23,000 AC 20 (half plate, shield +1, DEX+2) HP 59 (14+9/level) P-PER 10 P-INV 9 P-INS 13 +1 warhammer; flametongue longsword (a), shield +1<a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/56895181/diphHB" target="_blank">Gorlock</a> the Warlock (Tony) Half-Elf male Celestial Warlock-6 XP 17,280/23,000 AC 15 HP 51 (11+8/level) P-PER 11 P-INV 11 P-INS 11.

They've been able to complete more challenging adventures, hence their greater magic items tally.</blockquote>
