Part descriptions
Adult Acidic Gland
A throat gland that reeks of acid fumes; it brews the fluid behind a dragon’s breath.
Use: swallow it (action) and make a DC 14 Constitution save. Failure – you take 3d8 acid damage. Success – you breathe acid in a 30-foot line, 5 feet wide; each creature there makes a DC 14 Dexterity save, taking 6d8 acid damage on a failure or half on a success.
Good for: breath and acid items.
Adult Copper Draconic Blood
Dark, aquamarine dragon blood with a faint arcane spark in it.
Use: can replace the magic ink for copying spells into a spellbook – it covers up to 50 gp of ink.
Good for: scrolls (good fit).
Adult Copper Draconic Heart
A metallic red, leathery dragon heart with a dim glow – said to hold the dragon’s pride and might.
Use: eat it (action) and make a DC 14 Wisdom save. Success – you can’t be frightened for 8 hours.
Good for: items that cause or resist fear, and dragon-themed items (good fit).
Adult Slowbreath Sac
A sac from beside a dragon’s lungs, full of thin red gas that makes everything sluggish.
Use: throw it and it bursts into a 20-foot-radius cloud that seeps through gaps and around corners. Each creature in it makes a DC 17 Constitution save. Failure – until the end of its next turn its speed is halved, it takes −2 to AC and Dexterity saves, and it can’t take reactions or Dash. The cloud stays for 1 minute.
