Buck’s Leather Knife
Artisan Tool
Common
Crafted from chitinous steel this small blade is the perfect implement for skinning beasts, aberrations, monstrosities, and dragons. Buck has had these crafted exactly to his specifications. After decades of leather working he’s designed the ideal knife to replace the one in a standard set of leatherworking tools.
Anyone with this knife can attempt to collect skins, but it is not a complete set of leatherworker’s tools, only allowing for the collection of skins to later be delivered to Buck. Any skins collecting using this knife will be worth more to Buck, rather than paying in gold he will pay in Luminous Sapphire Marks based on the size and affect of the skin.
| Size | Payout |
|---|---|
| Small | 1 Mark |
| Medium | 2 Marks |
| Large | 4 Marks |
| Huge | 10 Marks |
| Gargantuan | 20 Marks |
This knife is specially made so that it will help preserve the qualities the creature had in life. Some of these may be able to brought out in the leather when it is tanned and prepared. Creatures with these properties that are skinned with one of Buck’s knives are worth more to him.
| Creature Property | Additional Compensation |

| Slashing, Piercing, or Bludgeoning resistance | +2 Marks |
| Fire, Cold, Lightning, Thunder, or Acid resistance | +3 Marks |

Dino Go Bag (Recipe)
Wondrous Item
Uncommon Transmutation
Buck has heard rumors of great and Terrible Lizards that live within the Unders. Although it sounds ridiculous, he swears he saw some with what look like feathers. If they can provided for him, he would be able to use them as part of his leathercrafting to make a Go bag, indispensable to anyone on the run in in a world of cracks, crevices, and bottomless pits.
Recipe. Gonna need some dinosaur feathers
Dino Go Bag (item) While wearing this backpack you can carry an additional 10 pounds above your usual carrying capacity. When you fall, you may pull a leather cord to extend the feathers as a Reaction and negate the first ten feet of falling damage, while gliding forward up to 15 feet in a straight line. The cord can be reset with an action.

Buck's Leather House
Slithleather Boots (Recipe)
Wondrous Item
Rare Transmutation
The fearsome Slith is a deadly foe, so hope to never encounter one. But if one is so unfortunate as to fight one and somehow survive the fresh hide can be reclaimed (with a DC 14 Leatherworker's with Wis or Survival check within 1 hour of the Slith's death) and worked into leather. This leather is incredibly supple and emulates the natural stone surfaces of the Slith's environment.
Recipe. The freshly collected skin of one Slith can be cured over 2 weeks time using the leatherworking facilities at Buck's House of Leather. The process requires 600gp worth of Deepsalt to make an appropriate brine and treatment for the skins. To make the buckles and clasps will require a DC 15 Blacksmith's Tools check using Strength to work the metal of your choice with 250gp worth of Monstrous Chitin. This takes 1 week of downtime per attempt.
Once tanned and prepared Buck will require your assistance for six weeks to do the intense leatherworking required to imbue magic into the boots. You can make 3 Leatherworking checks with Wisdom per IRL week. Once you have seven successes of 16 or more the boots are completed. You may gain advantage on the check if and only if you or a friend casts Pass Without Trace twice a day as part of the process.
Slithleather Boots (item). When you wear these boots, your steps make no sound, regardless of the surface you are moving across. You also have advantage on Stealth checks that rely on moving silently. The boots float ever so slightly from the ground. Tremorsense no longer automatically detects you, however you have a -15 penalty on your Stealth check against it.
