Expiration

Many harvested goods will start to rot and decay. Below is a quick overview of how we determined expiration dates.
Item Type Days Explanation
Body Part 2 Flesh rots and decays quickly.
Body Part, Undead 7 Undead body parts are already rotting, so their usefulness can last a little longer than regular flesh (which becomes useless when it rots).
Bones Bones take a very long time to decay.
Feathers Feathers take a very long time to decay.
Ears 14 Ears are predominantly tough cartilage (soft bone). The skin around the ears rot quickly, but the ear remains intact for some time after.
Hair Hair takes a very long time to decay.
Head 3 Like other flesh, it rots and decays quickly, but lasts slightly longer
Hides/Pelts 10 Hides/Pelts must be treated and soaks in order to retain its usefulness.
Liquid, Vial (i.e. Blood) 7 If contained in a stoppered vial, most fluids have a longer shelf life. However, if exposed to air, it gets ruined VERY quickly.
Liquid, Vial (i.e. Slime) 14 Slimes and gels tend to have a longer shelf-life than other fluids. However, if exposed to air, it gets ruined VERY quickly.
Poisons 14 Most poisons are viable for about 2 week. However, each poison is different. In additions, proficiency with a poisoner's kit may allow assassins the ability to extend the shelf-life every few weeks (adding other ingredients to extend the poison's usefulness)
Tattoos/Marks 5 Usually a strip of skin, which can be preserved with some oil to last a little longer than other flesh.
Wings 7 While wings contain flesh, which rots quickly, the bones and leather/feather last much longer, making the wings usefulness last longers.

Meat

It is possible to harvest the meat of many creatures, although uncooked meat spoils quickly and often attracts other predators. Some creature types have meat that is inedible (i.e udead), while others carry some sort of stygma (cannibalism, distasteful, unholy). For example, eating a celestial may be considered a vile, unholy act; while eating a monstrosity may be considered disgusting and distasteful; and giants are too similar to most medium-sized humanoids and is often considered inline with cannibalism. Of course, while buying stygma associated meats is forbidden and possibly illegal in most places, there are always people willing to buy illegal goods (although they may be hard to find).

Creature Type Edible Possible Stigma Sellable
Aberration N   Inedible
Beast Y N Y
Celestial Y Cannibalism, Holy Creature N
Construct N   Inedible
Dragon Y N Y
Elemental N   Inedible
Fey Y Cannibalism, Worshipped Some are inedible
Fiend N   Inedible
Giant Y Cannibalism, Disgusting Creature N
Humanoid Y Cannibalism N
Monstrosity * Disgusting Creature N
Ooze N   Inedible
Plant N   No meat
Undead N   Inedible
      * Some monstrosities have meat that is edible (DM Discretion)

The amount of meat is dependent on the beasts size. The weight of a raw piece of meat is one pound heavier than a ration (one slab of meat, 3 lb. is needed to produce 1 dried ration, 2 lb.).

Beast Size DC Meat Weight Expire
Tiny 5 1 2 lb. 1 day
Small 5 1d4 3-12 lb. 1 day
Medium 5 1d6 3-18 lb. 1 day
Large 5 2d6 6-36 lb. 1 day
Huge 5 4d6 12-72 lb. 1 day


Eating Meat: Cooked meat can be eaten safely. Cooking meat requires a campfire or oven. Eating raw meat requires a DC 10 Constitution Check. A successful check results in a filling meal. A failure results in debilitating stomach cramps, causing 1 level of exhaustion (disadvantage on ability checks).

Drying Meat: The meat can be dried using salt, spices, heat and time.

Drying Method Time DC Notes
Oven 6 hours 5
Smoke Hut 2 days 7 Smoking must be maintained (can't be left alone for days)
Sun 16 hours 15 Must be in direct sunlight, in over 85°F.
Set on a hot stone, or hanging from a rack.
Higher chance of spoiling.
