	~~Note~~: Even if you are making a leather sheath, all skins must be the same. If you cut and cure a bundle of troll hides and a bundle of orc scalps, even if they are both cured strong for leather, and cut into the same pattern, they will not bundle.

			Any skin with the nouns skin, pelt, scale, scalp, hide, fur, shroud, wrap, or sheepskin should work for making a sheath so long as their descriptions are the same, though there may be some exceptions (such as Myklian Scales, as discussed below).

	To decorate a sheath, gems can be inlaid. One gem can be put in the first slot, or one to two in the second.

	All warrior-made sheaths, regardless of size, weigh a half a pound. A weapon held in a warrior sheath counts as weighing 2 pounds less than it actually does for encumbrance purposes. For every 10 skins used in a sheath, it can hold 1 item. For every 2 skins used in a sheath, it can hold 1 pound. Because of the fixed weight, there is no mechanical disadvantage to making a sheath out of the maximum number of skins possible for that worn location.

			Also to be clear, "leather" or "lacquered" will remove any reference to the original skin, so it is prudent to collect skins of readily available creatures. Forest trolls, lesser orcs, gaks (though be sure to note that striped/spotted gak pelts cannot be mixed), and phosphorescent worms are some examples of skins that can can be found and skinned easily.

	Myklian Scales are an interesting exception to normal sheath making. Myklians come in different colors and their scales are tagged with these colors. The tricky part here is that you can bundle different colors together as long as you start with 2 of the same color. For example, if you take an orange myklian scale and try to bundle it with a red myklian scale you will not be able to, but once you bundle 2 of the same color myklian scales together, you can then bundle any color scale with your existing bundle. The trouble comes when, after you've cured your bundles, you try to bundle them together. It turns out that a color is applied to the bundle and that color data is held through the curing process. Unfortunately there's no way to tell what color a bundle or a cured pattern is other than trial and error. While further testing is required, the color of the bundle is EITHER the 2 original seed scales for the bundle OR the last scale that goes into the bundle. To ensure you can make a sheath using the 5 skins per cure time saving trick is, make a bundle that starts and ends with the same color. For example, bundle 2 red myklian scales together, then add any 2 myklian scales to that bundle, and then make the 5th scale a red one again. This will absolutely ensure your bundle will be red, and if all your bundles are red, after the curing process is done you can bundle them all together. Substitute red for any other color. The bundle color does not show up in the description of the sheath at all, this info is here simply to ensure that you don't end up with a bunch of cured patterns that won't bundle together because they are all different colors that you can't see.

			Skins MUST BUNDLE for them to work, which means troll king hides and grifflet pelts will NOT work for warrior sheaths! Your mileage may vary with other, newer skins, so please test before you commit to any projects (for example, Hinterwilds warg pelts can be used, but NOT undandsormr scales. More testing needs to be done with griffin pelts, as they do bundle but do NOT seem to work, though it may be a similar situation to the above myklian scale issue.

	A sheath can be fringed with one or two animal parts. These can be claws, teeth, talons, feathers, horns, fangs, stingers, plumes, manes, mandibles, pincers, whiskers, incisors, canines, jawbones, or bones. If a sheath is fringed with just one item in the second slot, the whole name shows up, such as a brown leather sheath fringed with martial eagle talons.

	It is highly recommended to cure in smaller bundles to cut down on prep time. For a strong curative, one package of 50 skins would take 35 hours to cure, for example, while 5 packages of 10 would take 7 hours. The smallest bundle you can make is 4 skins, which will take 2 hours and 48 minutes to cure. That said, since 50 isn't divisible by 4, if you're making a 50 skin sheath, its best to use 10 packages of 5 for the shortest cure time (3.5 hours).
