One of my players (A gnome Bard/Rogue) had Leatherworking as a Profession from the start. Skinned the green lizard from book one and made a headdress of it early on.
Now, they just killed Logrivich, and before shooting off the firework, he took the time to skin the medium White Dragon (and got a nat 20 on his roll!). Now, he wants to know what bonus this would make as leather armor/buckler shield. Magic? Cold resistance? Anything? How much can he make with this - boots in addition? More?
It's the first path I've GM'd, and really first time I've GM'd in over a decade, so I'm kind of in a quandary how to manage this. I love the creativity, but how do I answer this series of questions?
Dragonhide: Armorsmiths can work with the hides of dragons to produce armor or shields of masterwork quality. One dragon produces enough hide for a single suit of masterwork hide armor for a creature one size category smaller than the dragon. By selecting only choice scales and bits of hide, an armorsmith can produce one suit of masterwork banded mail for a creature two sizes smaller, one suit of masterwork half-plate for a creature three sizes smaller, or one masterwork breastplate or suit of full plate for a creature four sizes smaller. In each case, enough hide is available to produce a light or heavy masterwork shield in addition to the armor, provided that the dragon is Large or larger. If the dragonhide comes from a dragon that had immunity to an energy type, the armor is also immune to that energy type, although this does not confer any protection to the wearer. If the armor or shield is later given the ability to protect the wearer against that energy type, the cost to add such protection is reduced by 25%.
