Harvesting & Loot

Rutterkin

The rutterkin is a 6-foot tall, disfigured humanoid with mottled green and blue-violet skin, often riddled with lumps and tumors. It is completely hairless, with a rare patch or two of uncomfortable-looking wiry bristles. It has elongated skulls, and tiny, red eyes swollen with vicious hatred.

Each rutterkin is deformed in its own unique way — often having an asymmetrical body and disproportioned limbs. Most are hunched and howl in pain as its body continues to warp and contort at random. Sometimes, it is so badly mangled that an arm no longer functions or its already staggering or limping gait would be even worse.

AC: 12 HP: 37
CR: 2 Size: M

Harvesting Note: Demons slain on the Material Plane dissolves into a foul ichor, and return to the abyss. To properly harvest a demon, they must be killed in the Abyss.

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.

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

Random Roll: 2d6 = 11

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.
