Drider
Harvesting Table
Instructions: Because this creature is an
Monstrosity, the player should roll a
Nature Check using the DCs in the table below. On a success, the player is able to harvest the item. On a failure, the item cannot be harvested (either because the character is not skilled enough, or because the item is ruined). The DM should note that many of the items have an expiration, and can not be sold or used after the expiration has passed.

ITEM:
Drider Oil (3 vials)
DC:
10
Driders secrete a clear oily substance that allows them to avoid the adhesive of their own webs.
Use: It takes 1 action to cover one medium or smaller sized creature with 1 vial of drider oil. A creature covered by this oil ignores movement restrictions and does not get restrained by webbing. The oil lasts for 1 hour.

ITEM:
Drider Venom Gland (vial)
DC:
15
A drider's venom is produced by a gland at the back of its mouth. The venom is a black, sticky substance that smells of rot.
Proficiency with the poisoner kit may be used for harvesting this gland. On a successful check, the character harvests the creature's poison gland that must be refined before producing 1 dose of Drider Poison (see below). On a failed check, the character is unable to extract the poison gland. If the character fails the check by 5 or more, the character accidentally gets poisoned.
Refining the Poison: Once the gland is extracted, an alchemist (or someone proficient in the poisoner's kit) can spend 3 hours and 100gp worth of material to create Drider Poison (DC 14 Poisoner Kit or Alchemist Supplies check).
Drider Poison (Injury): A creature can use an action to coat 1 melee weapon, or 3 pieces of ammunition with this poison. Once applied, the poison retains potency for 1 minute, or until a target is successfully affected by the poison. A creature successfully hit with Drider Poison must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw, taking 2d8 poison damage on a failed save, or half that on a successful saving throw. This poison usually sells for 200gp, but the poison is often considered an illicit good (and may not be sold to normal vendors).

ITEM:
Mark of Lolth
DC:
20
Driders bear the mark of Lolth somewhere on its body. If harvested and preserved properly, artificers and enchanters may be able to use the symbols power to create magic items.
Before the expiration, a creature can spend 6 hours and 5gp for alchemical ingredients to dry and treat the mark, allowing it to retain its magic abilities without expiring.

CRAFT: Drow Amulet (HHH)
Most crafting items have an acronym associated with it, such as "DMG". These acronyms refer to specific guide books. For example, "DMG" refers to the "Dungeon Master's Guide". The acronyms for HHH and HHH2 refer to Hamund's Harvesting Handbook, a homebrew harvesting guide that offers a variety of homebrew (not official) magic items.

Meat
The meat of many monsters is considered vile and distasteful. Monstrosities and aberrations, in particular, may have tainted blood or rancid tasting meat. Dungeon Master's discretion.
This creature produces 13 pieces of meat, weighing a total of 52 lbs.
Random Roll: 6d6 = 13
Large creatures produce 6d6 worth of meat.
The table below shows how much meat an
inexperienced butcher may be able to harvest from a creature, especially after a battle may have ruined some of the meat (i.e. burned, frozen, poisoned, etc.). If a
whole creature's carcass is brought to a butcher, the butcher may pay 4x the value rolled in the chart below for the carcass (if the butcher even WANTS this kind of creature - DM discretion). Of course, carrying a heavy carcass can be difficult, and the creature's bacteria that kept it alive will begin to ruin the meat, spoiling it within a day.

† The weight of a raw piece of meat is 4 pounds. And one slab of meat (4 lbs.), can be used to make 1 dried ration (2 lbs.).
‡ Raw meat has a very short shelf-life, and will go bad within a day if it is not refridgerated or cured.
⋆ The table above uses a standard price of 5cp per pound for regular a piece of animal meat (such as cattle or deer). The value of meat can vary drastically, depending on the quality, rarity and the creature it is sourced from. For example, dragon meat could cost 10x more than standard livestock meat, while insect meat could cost only a copper or two per pound. A DM can decide if that is adequate, and if certain meat is worth more or less.
