Hobgoblin Warlord
Harvesting Table
Instructions: Because this creature is an
Humanoid, the player should roll a
Medicine 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.

Hobgoblin Ear

A hobgoblin's ear has little practical use. However, most communities will offer a bounty for showing proof of killing such creature.

ITEM:
Hobgoblin War Braid
DC:
10
War-hardened hobgoblin veterans grow a long strand of hair to show their victories. Long braids signified a long life of fighting. And with every victory, the hobgoblin would add another knot and decoration. Powerful warriors had extremely long braids, full of beads, jewelry and small ornate bones. These braids fetch a good price in most markets.

ITEM:
Mark of Maglubiyet
DC:
15
When a hobgoblin becomes a warlord, they undergo a ritual to receive the blessing of Maglubiyet, the chief goblinoid deity. During this ceremony, they receive a brand with Maglubiyet's symbol (a bloody axe). This symbol can be harvested by carefully flaying the skin around the tattoo, which often rips the skin and ruins the mark. The mark is valued by collectors and goblinoid hunters. The mark also has a touch of arcane power, useful to artificers and spellcasters.

CRAFT: Amulet of Maglubiyet (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
There is a stigma to eating meat belonging to sentient creatures that have a humanoid form and features. Harvesting the meat may be frowned upon and even considered cannibalism. Some communities may refuse to buy the meat (and some evil communities may pay a premium). The meat may even be difficult to eat, or unedible. Of course, these are all up to the Dungeon Master to decide.
This creature produces 9 pieces of meat, weighing a total of 36 lbs.
Random Roll: 2d6 = 9
Medium creatures produce 2d6 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.
