#Dnd shillelagh crack

Like weapons such as the Bear Sword, Hand Claws, or an Insect Censer, a shillelagh cannot be purchased under normal circumstances, only druids make them. Though while a druid may barter or supply allies with other druidic weapons, a druid will never sell or barter a shillelagh away.

It is not uncommon for a druid to have a collection of shillelaghs they have used near a chimney in their homes, if they have one. If a druid sees a character of another class with a shillelagh, it is assumed the weapon was either stolen or removed from a druid's corpse. Shillelagh are made from sloe blackthorn wood. The term commonly refers to a simple blackthorn stick, but this is incorrect. Blackthorn is also commonly used to create divining rods, though Druids prefer apple wood for this purpose. There are tales druids craft a similar weapon called a Knobkierie from a plant called a 'Kudu Lily' in lands so far to the south no blackthorn grows and where the Earthmother must work differently, but I am unable to confirm this.

Wood from the root of the blackthorn is used because it makes the knob less prone to crack or break during melee. It is also believed the blackthorn has mystical properties. Shillelagh may be hollowed at the heavy 'hitting' end and filled with molten lead to increase the weight beyond the typical two pounds this sort of shillelagh is known as a 'loaded stick'. The weighted types have their knobs fitted with iron ferrules to maintain structural integrity.
