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.
