Green Abishai
Harvesting Table

Instructions: Because this creature is an Fiend, the player should roll a Arcana 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.

Type: Fiend (devil)
Skill: Arcana

Crafting

DC: 15

ITEM: Green Abishai Scales DC: 15

The scales of an abishai are tough and immediately become brittle once the creature dies. As such, each scale must be carefully extracted one-by-one, and then treated with special oils in order to strengthen them again. The scales are highly decorative, and often used in jewelry. Smiths prize the scales for use in scale armor (the scales from 4 abishai are required to create a single set of scale mail).

VALUE: 50 gp

WEIGHT: 5lb.

EXPIRE: ∞

CRAFT: Scale Mail (PHB)

DC: 20

ITEM: Green Abishai Wing (x2) DC: 20

The wings of an abishai produce a durable scaly leather. Once the creature is killed, the wings can rip easily, and must be removed with care. The leather can be used in tents, backpacks, clothing and other items.

VALUE: 100 gp

WEIGHT: 10lb.

EXPIRE: 7 days

CRAFT: Infernal Wings (HHH3)

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, HHH2 and HHH3 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.

Green Abishai
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 11 pieces of meat, weighing a total of 44 lbs.

Random Roll: 2d6 = 11

Medium creatures produce 2d6 worth of meat.

ROLL AGAIN

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.

Meat and Creature Types

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; in addition, giants are too similar to most medium-sized humanoids and are often considered inline with cannibalism. Of course, while buying meats with a stygma is forbidden and possibly illegal in most places, there are always people willing to buy illegal goods (although they may be hard to find).

Drying Meat

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