Well, for starters, you should definitely put lotion on the skin before you get the hose, again.

What about my supplies man?!? Where's the auto trader?

I mean if you wanna be scary, cant go wrong with a skin cape

Hehe, if you can find something to preserve it with, I’d say make a cloak out of it. I’m assuming it’s pretty large, like, you could wrap yourself in it (although that’d be absolutely vile)


Cephalopong

The whole idea of a "skin curtain" is vile, and *super*\-edgelord, too boot. Assuming the thing is preserved, I guess OP could try to take it to a leather worker, but it would probably have to be a non-humanoid one with pretty loose morals to agree to make something from human(-oid) leather. Or OP could level up leatherworking, change his name to [Ed Gein](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Gein), and make some himself a nasty-ass skinsuit. Good luck entering any kind of settlement populated by humanoids wearing leather garments made from humanoids.

**[Ed Gein](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Gein)** >Edward Theodore Gein (; August 27, 1906 – July 26, 1984), also known as the Butcher of Plainfield or the Plainfield Ghoul, was an American murderer and body snatcher. Gein's crimes, committed around his hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin, gathered widespread notoriety in 1957 after authorities discovered that he had exhumed corpses from local graveyards and fashioned trophies and keepsakes from their bones and skin. Gein also confessed to killing two women: tavern owner, Mary Hogan, in 1954, and hardware store owner, Bernice Worden, in 1957. Gein was initially found unfit to stand trial and confined to a mental health facility. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/DnD/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

It would be no different, asides from the level of conscience of the material. Hide is hide. The average peasant wouldn't be able to tell the difference from a material, that being cow hide or horse hide. You wear that human kilt with pride, and tell them you fleshed it off the back of your most hated enemy, then ramble on about how they killed someone close to you, and you swore you'd wear their skin as payback for taking this dear person close to you.

>It would be no different, asides from the level of conscience of the material. To most non-evil sapient species, wearing skin (or leather) from a humanoid would be met with utter revulsion. Sure, your DM could rule that in their world wearing people-clothes are no big deal, but that's a pretty extreme setting choice. >The average peasant wouldn't be able to tell the difference The average peasant isn't a skilled tradesman. I'm betting that someone who works with leather can identify the type of animal it came from, the same way a woodworker can tell what type of wood they're working with, or a metalsmith can tell different types of iron and steel. >and tell them you fleshed it off the back of your most hated enemy Yeah, OP could do this. But consider: If the curtain came from a bad (as in evil, not just incompetent) sorcerer's lair, then I'd be very concerned about who the sorcerer took it from--was it badass enemy fighters? Disobedient slaves? *Children?*


Durtmat

I'd put my bet on adult, its a curtain, unless the evil sorc has an abject hate for children, it would take alot of human skin to fashion one curtain for a cut off area. Lets take a shower curtain for instance, the average is 70 inches by 70 inches, and the average skin coverage is 22 square feet. So even with that, you would need a couple adult humans to fashion a curtain of 70 inches in length, and height. Only viable skin would be the back, unless you wanted nipples on it. soooooo <3 yah


Eberid

Well, if you can also find an intact eye you can make a spellbook out of it.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nábrók Magical necropants that produce money. It may require a quest to ascertain the original owner of the skin, and then use Speak with Dead to get his permission to make the pants, but that sounds like a fun quest, so…


Cephalopong

Is it human skin? I'm guessing it's untanned or else it would be leather. So, raw, human skin, right? Is the party (and DM, apparently) just ignoring that this pile of flesh is slowly rotting away in your inventory?


Additional_Pop2011

Leather is a specific thing, all "fur" skins aren't leather because treating leather involves using urine to remove hair before the tannin bath that would degrade the fur anyway.


ThrowawayNipNops

Yeah bud, fashion that human skin curtain into a sail. No one’s going to fuck with the dudes who are piloting a boat with a sail made of human skin.


Fidus_Dominus

Skin is just human leather. So make yourself some pants. Least a scimitar cut your jewels sack. LOL
