Of course, the dweomer is ineffective in retaining the magical potency living component materials such as mistletoe, holly berries, and similar stuffs that must be gathered at specific times or under specific conditions. However, the thread as entitled is a good place to inquire further about fire beetles.Ī preserve spell enables the caster to retain some item fresh and whole until some later time when it is needed. I never said it wasn't allowed, just that it was hardly a big enough deal to warrant a whole thread, IMO. Hmmm, I don't remember reading a justification clause on posting new threads. What have you guys done with them in the past, and other ideas for fire beetle glands? I think they would make excellent spell components for spells like light or as ingredients to ink or potions, or weapon/armor oil. I ruled that if stored in an airtight opaque ceramic jar, immersed in vinegar (or perhaps some kind of oil), they could last for months rather than days. That said, what I feel is an excellent discussion regarding Fire Beetles, being that one of my players has collected a number of glands, is what the hell can one do with Fire Beetle glands? How can one preserve them to last longer? What are they good for, other than glowing?ītB, they last for 1d6 days. Murdock Berk wrote:It's not a big enough deal to make an entire thread about. In theory, they say, such a light source could last forever. Many mages and alchemists are eager to discover the secret of this cold light, which could be not only safe, but economical, with no parts to heat up and burn out. The light from these glands is cold – it produces no heat. This luminosity persists for ld6 days after the glands are removed from the beetle, and the light shed will illuminate a radius of 10 feet. These glands produce a luminous red glow, and for this reason they are highly prized by miners and adventurers. They are found both above and below ground, and are primarily nocturnal.Ĭombat: Despite its name, the fire beetle has no fire attacks, relying instead on its huge mandibles to inflict up to three times the damage of a dagger in a single attack.Įcology: Fire beetles have two special glands above their eyes and one near the back of their abdomens.
The smallest of the giant beetles, fire beetles are nevertheless capable of delivering serious damage with their powerful mandibles.
