Dragonhide

Dragonhide, also written dragon hide, was the skin of a dragon.

Properties
Dragonhide could be used to fashion masterful, meaning good enough to be enchanted, armors and/or shields from it. The resulting products were in no way different from ordinary ones. That was with one exception. Dragonhide could not be destroyed by the kind of energy that the dragon whose skin it was breathed. So it was entirely possible that the wearer of a dragonhide armor died in a blast of a dragon breath, while the armor remained intact, if the breath weapon used the same energy as the dragonhide's dragon's breath weapon.

Applications
As mentioned above, dragonhide could be used for crafting armors and shields. People used dragon hide armor for mostly ornamental reasons for it conferred no beneficial properties to them. There was no difference in time nor cost compared to the creation of ordinary armor and shield of masterful quality when creating a dragonhide armor or shield.

A specifically trained person could create a dragoncraft item from dragonhide, which did indeed confer beneficial benefits in the form of a minor resistance against the donor-dragon's breath weapon's energy type.

Production
Dragonhide was produced by skinning a dragon.
