What is an Adder?
An adder is a venomous snake found in most parts of the world. They are not typically regarded as dangerous, as they don’t tend to be very aggressive. That said, it’s a safe bet that most of them go their entire lives without a wizard attempting to remove their stomach.
What is an adder’s stomach used for?
The conventional use, according to the painstaking research I’ve conducted, is digesting an adder’s food. To wizards in Dungeons & Dragons, however, an adder’s stomach is also one of the two material components required for the Acid Arrow spell.
Where can I get an adder stomach?
The most obvious place to look, of course, would be inside an adder. But as I’ve mentioned above, the adder is well within its rights to consider that a provocation.
But as dangerous as that might be, I’d also be wary of doing business with any shopkeeper who has a stockpile of animal stomachs readily available.
A fun joke to share with your nerd friends:
Q: Why couldn’t the wizard cast Acid Arrow?
A: He didn’t have the stomach for it.
