DC: 10

ITEM: Stone Golem Core DC: 10

In the middle of a stone golem's chest is a stone core. When the creature is destroyed, its body crumbles to the floor, and this core can get lost among the stone remains. The core contains traces of magic from the Elemental Plane of Earth. Artificers and those that study the elemental planes have an interest in this item.

WEIGHT: 12lb.

EXPIRE: ∞

DC: 15

ITEM: Stone Golem Stone DC: 15

When a stone golem crumbles to pieces, much of the stone is nothing but useless rock. However, it may be possible to find a stone that retains some trace amounts of arcane energy. One of these such stones may be used to craft certain weapons.

VALUE: 200 gp

WEIGHT: 25lb.

EXPIRE: ∞

CRAFT: Warhammer (PHB)

DC: 20

ITEM: Stone Golem Manual Ashes (vial, small pouch) DC: 20

The final step of creating a new golem is to sprinkle the ashes of the manual of golem creation over the inanimate body. Harvesting these ashes can be difficult, as they are tiny and hard to find. The ashes don't retain the power they had prior to the golem's creation, but still have value in the arcane community.

CRAFT: Golem Companion (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.

Expiration

Many harvested goods will start to rot and decay after a period of time. Below is a quick overview of how we determine expiration dates, and is used as a guide for most harvested items. Note: It is always up to the DM to decide on the exact expiration.

Item Type

Days

Explanation

Body Part

2 days

Flesh rots and decays quickly.

Body Part, Undead

7 days

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 days

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 days

Like other flesh, it rots and decays quickly, but lasts slightly longer

Hides/Pelts

10 days

Hides/Pelts must be treated and soaks in order to retain its usefulness.

Liquid, Vial (i.e. Blood)

7 days

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 days

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 days

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 days

Usually a strip of skin, which can be preserved with some oil to last a little longer than other flesh.

Wings

7 days

While wings contain flesh, which rots quickly, the bones and leather/feather last much longer, making the wings usefulness last longers.
