How about giving a point of Guts to the recipient instead?  On that note,
should the Diablos have a Guts score? It doesn't make sense for them not to,
being direct servants of the Reckoners and whatnot.

O.K., but is there enough of the hide to where she could also get boots and
gloves outof it, or is it not that big?  Does the skin look close enough to
reptilian that she could get away with telling people it's from some freak
'gator, or is it just too unnatural?
