Rponses 1 10 sur 680 Ref Ouvrage Question I have just bought the new DUNGEON MASTERS SCREEN, and it says that monks attack on the clerics table. But in the PLAYERS HANDBOOK it says that they fight on the thief's table. Which is it? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Reponse Monks attack on the clerics table. A last-minute change by the staff members who worked on the DUNGEON MASTERS GUIDE was made, reasoning that it would be better for the balance of the game if monks attacked on the clerics table. We realize the change is going to cause some problems and we are doing all we can to ease the confusion. The monk, however, still saves on the thief 's table. None. Bows do not do damage, arrows do. However, if you hit someone with a bow, Id say it would probably do 1-4 points of damage and thereafter render the bow completely useless for firing arrows. What the bows do is allow a greater variety of ranges; all the damage done by arrows is the same Yes, you are correct. First, you cannot shoot arrows from a longbow in a dungeon that has 10-by-10-foot passageways. Longbows are indirect fire weapons and you need lots of space to use one. Second, as for the men: From your letter, I gather that they are wearing plate mail. It would be extremely difficult to ride side by side in a corridor this size with two nervous mules and two fully armored men. The mules are not strong enough to carry what a war horse is supposed to carry. Mules are mostly used as pack animals. Also, firing from the back of an animal is hard enough and to fire a longbow from one is impossible. Inform the paladin he isnt one any more. His new alignment is now lawful evil. Paladins tend to frown upon torture of any kind for any reason and would not let it be done in their presence, let alone do it themselves. Good and the process of law must be followed. Everything a paladin does must obey laws of good and thereby insure that all are treated fairly and just. Granted, a lot of cruel and heartless things have been done in the name of religion, but that doesnt mean that it was good or right. Men have always done strange things for even stranger reasons. For the paladin to have tortured the orc was an evil act, and therefore he has given up the right to be a paladin. I suggest that he not be allowed to regain it, either, but if you decide to let him, make sure the quest is long, hard, and nearly impossible to accomplish. Not much. I dont know whether to laugh or cry. I will

We have a group of players here who insist that they can ride on a mule in a 10-foot-wide and 10foot-high corridor and shoot arrows from longbows. Now, there are two characters who say they ride side by side and do this over the objections of the rest of the party members. I think this is wrong. Am I right? In our town of Terre Haute, there is an eighthlevel paladin that has a favorite saying, Repent or Die. On one occasion he pulled back the arm of a captured orc, placed a Ring of regeneration on his finger and then ripped his face off. When the orcs face healed, he would do it again. He says he has a valid right to do this, because torture was very much a part of the inquisition and he is saving the orcs soul. This raises two questions. First, is the paladin still a paladin and if not, is he changed forever? In GODS, DEMI-GODS AND HEROES it says that a forty-plus level character is ridiculous. In our

game we have two characters that are at one thousand-plus level. This happened in Armageddon, a conflict between the gods and the characters. Of course, the characters won. What do you think about that? A couple of friends and I are planning on taking over our DMs island. So far our plan is working. Unfortunately, we have encountered some problems. What we want to know is how to spawn orcs? We need an army at the moment. In the AD&D PLAYERS HANDBOOK, under the Read Magic spell, it says that scrolls must have the spell cast upon them before they can be read by the Magic-User. What does a magicuser do if he doesnt have a Read Magic? What about the poor illusionist who has no Read Magic spell at all, except perhaps as a seventh-level spell? Furthermore, what do clerics do about scrolls? Do they have any? Do rangers automatically get a first-level spell book, rolling for spells as does a first-level magicuser, or must they research them and build from scratch? Will the new attack matrix (armor class system) in the DUNGEON MASTERS GUIDE work with the MONSTER MANUAL? When will Q1, QUEEN OF THE DEMONWEB PITS, be released? I am really looking forward to playing in it.
Go !
repeat: A forty-plus-level character is ridiculous. We feel that you must advance one level at a time, not a whole bunch at once. I dont understand how or what happened or even if all the gods were in this battle, but if you enjoy playing this way, feel free to do so. I dont want to spoil your fun.
Orcs are mammals and therefore do not spawn. You will have to find some other way to raise your army.
In the DUNGEON MASTERS GUIDE, it says that all magic-users know the spell Read Magic. They would be worthless to their master (from whom they learned the profession) without it. Illusionists dont need a Read Magic. as all of their spells are written in the same secret language. This also applies to clerics. even though their spells are god-given, so yes, clerics can have scrolls.

Rangers must research their spells. They just dont wake up one morning and say, Why, I can cast spells now! When the ranger reaches the 8th level, he discovers he has the ability to learn druids spells as he does for magic-users spells at 9th level. Whether he learns them or not depends on how successful his attempts are. Yes, it will. All D&D material that says ADVANCED DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS is meant to be used together. You will have no trouble playing the monsters with the attack tables found in the DMG. Q1 is being written by Dave Sutherland, TSRs Art Director. Dave has a lot of demands on his time and is working on it as often as he can. We are very shorthanded in the Art Dept. and I cannot say when Q1 will be ready for release.
