Sharp Dragon’s teeth crafted into D&D tools and weapons

Shafted and polished axe found in the Sigerslev Bog near Præstø.  This axe is exhibited in the exhibition about Danish Prehistory.

Our Stone Age ancestors used bones and rocks like volcanic glass, known as obsidian, to craft tools and weapons.  Such weapons are hand-crafted axe, arrowhead, and spear blades, as well as knife and macuahuitl blades.  Mesoamerican macuahuitl is a weapon, which is a wooden club embedded with several embedded obsidian blades on 2 sides, like a double-edged sword.  While made of wood, stone or Dragon’s Teeth, those are weapons that could be used by wizards.

Imagine using magical Dragon’s Teeth, and the teeth of other types of monsters, as cutting blades for D&D tools and weapons.  For combat, Dragon’s Teeth blades are considered magical weapons.  Thus, those blades become an inexpensive way to equip magical weapons to henchmen and hirelings.  During my past campaigns as a player, I remember several times when my party’s henchmen and hirelings, as well as player characters, fled or died in combat, because they didn’t have magical weapons to fight monsters that can only take damage by magical weapons.

The peaceful way to obtain sharp dragon’s teeth happens when dragons grow new teeth while pushing out their old teeth from their jaws in each stage of their lives.  The violent way is to take them from dead dragons.  Dragons selling their old teeth could create a new source of tools and weapons for the party, to be used by them or sold to NPCs.
