After killing a creature, it may be harvested for its parts. **Collecting creature parts from any unwilling sentient humanoid is considered an evil act.** **Degradation.** To keep the game flowing, the adventurers have only a short time, post-mortem, to harvest components. Spells like *gentle repose* do not prevent this. For harvesting to yield magical components, a harvester must begin harvesting a corpse within 1 minute of the creature’s death, and once they have begun harvesting they must continue for the duration of the check. As the shortest harvest time of any creature is 5 minutes, a character only has time to harvest one creature after a battle before the other creatures have degraded. **Duration.** Harvesting a creature takes a set duration based on the size of the creature (see harvest time in the table below): | | | | --- | --- | | | |
