Okay. So just to make sure I understand correctly- a first-level wizard can only memorize and use one spell per day, even if he has five spells in his spellbook. A level 1 Cleric, however, can "memorize" or use one or more spells per day, depending on their wisdom score, right? Also- For...

Hi all, I am looking into running a 2e campaign, and going through the rules to make sure I got the hang of everything. One thing I wanted to make sure of it how many spells a cleric can pray for/memorize and have ready for combat at a given time. For example, a lvl 1 cleric with wisdom 17...

Hi all, Ring of borrowed spells in Mordenkainen's Magnificent Emporium allows a character to use one of two daily powers, up to level 17 each, that the DM chooses. If a lower-level character (e.g. 12) obtains such a ring, should they be allowed to use it unchecked? I was thinking of perhaps...

Cool. I thought that was the case. Thanks for the response!

Barbarians are only skilled in using simple/military melee weapons. Do they suffer any penalty when using something like a handaxe which can be thrown?

It seems like everyone pretty much agrees that the higher level magic armors (+4, +5, etc) should all be masterwork. What about lower level (+2, +3) ones? For instance, the character builder seems to automatically adjust the base AC bonus for a +2 plate armor from 8 to 9, as if it were the...

Cool. Thanks for the clarification :)

Just to clarify: If a player moves is standing adjacent to a monster, and then moves to a different square but still adjacent to that same monster, the monster gets an opportunity attack?

Supposing that the enemy doesn't turn around and no other enemies are around, if the rogue makes a successful stealth check 20 squares away, does he then get an "automatic" surprise attack? The DM could of course decide to make some extra roll(s) to see if the enemy decides to turn around, but...

Cool. Thanks for the replies. So it sounds like under normal circumstances neither side is likely to get the jump on the other, unless they are specifically attempting to be stealthy and are moving very slowly. That makes sense :) Here is the next scenario I had in mind: Scenario 2: The...

Thanks all for the suggestions and clarifications. Just to make sure I've got a grasp of things, I'm going to create a few scenarios and then describe how I might deal with them. If you have suggestions, please let me know! Scenario 1: A party of characters are exploring a cavern system by...

Hello, I know this has been a pretty popular topic of discussion with a lot of confusion about how the rules work. After reading the forums and other sites I still am a bit unclear on a few things, however, and was wondering if someone could help clear things up. Here are my questions: 1)...

Thanks, both. That makes things much more clear :)

Does the bonus from Healer's Lore stack with other power bonuses? For example, Healing word lets a player spend a healing surge and gain an additional 1d6 hp. So if your wisdom modifier were +3 would this result in Healing surge + 1d6 + 3 hp restored? Or would it just be the higher of the...

Does anyone know of an app for making perception checks?
