The Tavern

My opinion:

Crocodiles should drop crocodile skin which can be worn or enchanted as boots!

Who would not want crocodile skin boots?

It's not a bad suggestion, but in this case I think it's too easy to find boots. And it doesn't even have to be a normal boots. To give you an example of improvisation, what about the feather boots of the Caustic shrike? It may have a resistance to corrosion, or it may have a higher defense than normal boots. Since these creatures are terribly strong, this reward is likely to be a good reward for dangerous battles.

If the bits weren't very good, and were only available to ward against terrible RNG, it could be fine/funny?

I mean, that's sorta what GDR does, right? Wonder if they could be un-enchantable 0-AC boots that gave a few percentage points of GDR.
