Hi Guys,
Our DM has us produce Magic Wish Lists for our characters, generally up to 5 levels above our current (our group is level 8 /9, so we are posting on our Wiki items up to level 13 / 14 which we would like to "find").
That way, in the treasure parcel of say 3 items, we will find one...
The bottom of a spear is nearly always on the ground when not in combat, you are normally standing about 1/2 way up the spear. To set a spear against a charge you take a step back and drop the spear butt, it's about 1/2 an action point (if that).
We've also played that a natural 20 on setting...
