    Why isn't Wight a Template?

    If wights transform their victims (slain with energy drain) into wights, then why isn't there a template? i.e. like vampires. If you've got some musclebound 20th-lvl fighter who changes into a wight, he immediately becomes a wimp...

    D&D 3E/3.5 The 3.5 Jump mechanic, and monks

    So how does a jump of 20 feet across and 8 feet high work? Is that two checks (one at DC 20 and the other at DC 32)? Or just the more difficult check? Or something else?

    The Dark Marshal of Bael

    This is D&D we're talking about, right? Of course it has a medieval context...

    Repairing a sundered Ancestral Weapon

    I think it also depends on how much sundering goes on in your campaign. If it's rare, then I'd rule the item is destroyed. If it's common, I'd have a way to get it repaired. I don't think the rules cover this situation in any depth so it's really up to you to decide how you want to play it out...

    Dwarves

    If dwarves were too good, everyone would be playing them. But everyone is not. Proof is in the pudding, so to speak.

    Repairing a sundered Ancestral Weapon

    AFAIK, a weapon that has been reduced to 0 hp is destroyed and cannot be repaired. But so long as it has 1 hp remaining, it can be repaired through the means you've listed.

    Illusion Question

    Let's say a wizard casts persistent image and creates an image of a parked wagon. Is there a way to get a save simply by looking at the wagon? I mean, its not like a person or creature who must constantly be doing something to appear real - it's a wagon. I realize there is a save if the wagon...

    Scarab Swarm?

    I just took a look at the scarab swarm from the FF. Holy Moly! That's one tough swarm! I'm thinking it was based off the Mummy Returns movies...

    Door Thickness and Hitpoints?

    p.61 of the DMG states a 2-inch iron door has 60 hp. Is that per inch or per 2-inch door? The reason I ask is that p. 144 of the DMG states bronze doors have 20 hp per inch of thickness (and stone has 15 hp per inch). This seems to indicate that the HP on Table 3-10 should be per inch but I...

    What are people doing with the epic handbook?

    By the time our group gets to 20th I'm pretty sure they'll want to start over at 1st, not keep going ad nausium. I think the Epic concept is okay for a brief campaign or couple adventures, then it's back to the normal levels. To me, the Epic was just "we made it b/c we could" on the part of...

    Simulacrum?

    What happens if the caster dies? The duplicate is under the absolute control of the caster and cannot advance in ability. Does it even matter if the caster dies? Does it become free-willed?

    Swarms Question

    I was just looking at a swarm of bats and I just don't get it. 5,000 in a 10x10 area?!? 5,000!!! The average hp for the swarm is 13 (IIRC), which isn't very much even with the 50% dam from slashing & piercing weapons. It's quite possible for a fighter to deal that in one shot. 5,000 bats in...

    Katana wielding

    I've been told if the blade is longer than the width of your palm (approximately), the cops will stop you. 9 inches is way longer than that. You've probably never been bothered when practicing with your sword b/c no one bothered to complain. Once that happens, things will change. Wielding a...

    Katana wielding

    Is the original question like how you see expert knife wielders (i.e. commandos in the movies) holding knives with the blade held back against the wrist as opposed to holding the blade out in front of you? If so, then a martial arts expert I talked to said it's b/c it's harder to be disarmed or...

    How would a dragon dive bomb?

    And even then, green dragons breathe poison gas not acid.
