i have been googling and googling and trying to figure out what to do! I am DMing for the first time and dont want to screw it up. we as a group are taking turns dming so we can all have expeirence doing it. when we switch we just pick up where the other left off basically and do with the story what we want.
and well, the point is that before we switched to me as the DM, we killed a young white dragon (cant remember his age, but he was about as tall as my character who is a gnome), and one of the PC's took some of his blood, teeth and also his tail.
he is very excited about the tail, and i dont know what to make out of it for him. the best i can come up with is armor with some kind of resistence to cold. but i think he wants something cooler then that since he took the tail. seriously though... is there anything that the shape of a dragons tail would be useful for? or at least anything that might need to be as strong as dragonhide and have a cold resistence?
lol his main weapon is a composite bow, and the clever boy made the dragons teeth into arrows. maybe the tail could be made into a quiver?
any ideas would be lovely!

He could wear it like a scarf. It could still give cold resist.

Assuming your characters aren't creeped out by wearing the body parts of a fellow sapient creature, I suppose making the tail into a quiver would be thematic.
Another day, another three or four entries to my Ignore List.

Have it made into a whip? Then you could have it whip fr cold damage.
Or is it big enough for a cloak?
How about having some sort of Genetic Wizard clone it and have a pet mini dragon.

Sprinkle with salt and white pepper, then sear the white dragon's tail in a pot until all sides are golden brown. Add onion, carrot, and celery and sweat them. Throw in some garlic and white wine along with a bay leaf, thyme, and half a teaspoon of sea salt. Bring it to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 3 hours until the white dragon's tail is fork tender. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Until the next time the characters level, each person who enjoyed the delicious dragon's tail gains resist 5 cold. Then, make an adventure with a few creatures that do cold damage and a trap/hazard/terrain that does cold damage so that it's useful.
Your players won't soon forget that and you'll be elevated to permanent DM status.

Thanks. It's also my general recipe for braised oxtails. So even if the oxtails have been replaced by a white dragon's tail, the preparation is at least based in reality.
Braised oxtails is a great thing to eat when it's cold out. So I figured, why not white dragon, too?

And if someone were so culinary inclined, provide the real-life oxtail as that session's dinner.

I've heard that the sinews and tendons in a dragon's tail make exceptional composite bows due to the tails whiplike nature.
