Is that a minotaur horn, or are you just happy to see me?

Equipping a helmet or shield made from monster hide, carapace or bones sends a message to the world: “If you mess with me, there’s a good chance you’ll end up as my new hat.” But these items are more than a fashion statement – they confer some of the slain creature’s remarkable abilities.

Wondrous Items: Helmets and Shields Made from Monster Hides lets you harvest and craft some element of a defeated monster into a skullcap, helmet, shield, or buckler. With this volume, you can:

  • Learn three new feats: Monstrous Aspect, Taxidermic Crafter and Terrifying Trophy
  • Strike terror into your foes with a Medusa helm
  • Laugh as magic-users’ spells misfire thanks to your awesome flail snail helm
  • Bash enemies with a flaming nightmare hide shield
  • …and much more--a total of 14 shields and 15 helmets!
