Weapons4

A masterfully balanced nonmagical longsword, edge keeps its sharpness longer than common blades.

Superior craft grants advantage on checks to maintain a keen edge (DM fiat).

A sturdy warhammer with a reinforced head and shock-dampening haft; favored by armored warriors.

Well-balanced for martial use; reduced chance of weapon breakage.

A long, wicked blade forged from polished dragon bone and edged with steel folded with draconic slag. The edge bites deep.

Atk This is a +2 longsword. On a critical hit, it adds an additional slashing damage (keen property; increases threat range by 1).

A heavy polearm hammered from meteoric iron and bound with drake hide. Its shaft is etched with an ancient wyrm-sigil.

Atk This legendary +3 glaive deals an extra acid damage on a hit. Once per long rest, the wielder may cast 'dragon's breath' (acid) as an action, centered on themselves, without consuming a spell slot (effects last 1 minute).
Miscellaneous2

A small whetstone impregnated with oils from Kethrys's forge; restores edge to blades.

Can be used to give a weapon a temporary +1 to attack rolls for 1 minute (single use) if applied in combat as a bonus action (DM may rule).

Common hardware and basic smithing wares, available in bulk or by the piece.

Armor2

Half-plate forged from the descaled hide of a drake and riveted to a steel frame. Slightly lighter than full plate.

AC +15Grants +1 to AC (on top of base armor) and advantage on checks vs. cold or acid environmental effects related to draconic habitats.

A magnificent breastplate inlaid with overlapping black drake scales. It hums faintly with stored draconic energy.

AC +18While attuned, wearer gains +2 to AC. Once per short rest, the wearer can exhale a 15-ft cone of acid dealing acid damage (Dex save for half). The armor grants resistance to acid damage while worn.
Miscellaneous2

Heavily plated gauntlets that fit like a second skin. The knuckles are capped with jagged drake-plate.

Grants +2 to Strength (up to a maximum of 20) while worn. Once per short rest, the wearer can sunder a nonmagical object as an improvised attack with advantage and double damage to objects.

A dark, iridescent cloak that falls like folded wings. The hem is lined with scale-like stitching.

While attuned, wearer can, as a bonus action, sprout spectral wings for 10 minutes, granting a fly speed of 30 ft. twice per long rest. Also grants advantage on checks to cling to vertical surfaces.
Miscellaneous1

A small sealed vial of viscous, ember-laced oil. When thrown and ignited, it produces sheets of azure flame that burn draconic residues.

On a hit (thrown as improvised weapon), erupts in a 5-ft burst dealing fire damage (Dex save for half). Can be applied to a weapon to add + fire damage for 1 minute.
Potions1

A thick ointment infused with powdered drake bone and sacred oil. Heals wounds with a warmth reminiscent of a dragon's breath.

Heal 45 HPFunctions as a superior healing potion (heals 45 HP). Once used, a trace of ash marks the skin until healed by magical means.
Miscellaneous2

Kethrys will etch a single minor rune of power into a mundane weapon or shield to grant a temporary boon.

The carved rune grants +1 to attack rolls or +1 AC (owner chooses) for 24 hours. One rune per item at a time. Not a permanent enchantment.

Kethrys will perform a permanent magical forging to create or upgrade a magic weapon or set of armor. Price varies with desired rarity and properties.

Typical quotes: +1 equipment ~5,000 gp; +2 ~18,000 gp; +3 or unique properties priced individually (often 50,000+ gp). Time: days to weeks depending on complexity and materials, often requires drake's-blood reagent and attunement rituals.
Miscellaneous1

Light throwing knives fashioned from sharpened drake teeth and weighted with black iron.

On a hit, target must succeed a Con save or suffer ongoing acid damage (1 round).
Miscellaneous1

A heavy heater shield covered in overlapping drakescales, reinforced with banded steel.

AC +1Functions as a +1 shield (grants +1 to AC in addition to shield bonus). Once per long rest, absorb up to 10 acid damage; excess damage is carried to wearer.

Shop Atmosphere

“Kethrys speaks slowly in low, smoky tones and has a habit of humming an ancient draconic forging hymn. He'll judge the mettle of any newcomer by tossing a single scale into the forge and watching the flare; if the scale bursts blue, he offers a small discount. He insists customers remove all bright, ostentatious jewelry while in the forge ("spark to the slag"). The shop smells of ozone, warm iron, and salted ash; a small brazier in back contains a permanently smoldering ember said to be from a wyrm's den.”
