    Robe of Useful Items

    This is a neat magic item, but one detail of it puzzles me. One of the random items on the chart is as follows. Now, a 10 cubic foot pit is pretty useless. It could be a trough 10 feet long but only a foot wide and a foot deep, or a narrow shaft 10 feet deep... I think that the writers meant...

    250 daggers with a Telekinesis spell?

    This discussion went round and round on the old boards. The best solution I saw to it was capping the number of objects the wizard could effectively control at once (good enough to do combat damage) to his BAB. Otherwise, it gets unreasonable, as you have clearly seen. -- gnfnrf

    Hee hee! I found an error in this month's Gamestoppers!

    A-HA! A logical error! At least one St. Bernard was not a dog! Archdeacon Bernard de Menthon, founder of the monastery where the dogs were first raised in 1050AD, was not himself a dog. Now, to rescue the post from complete OT-Hell... ummm... I think the constricted nature of being in a...

    CGI error?

    FATAL: erealloc(): Unable to allocate 90112 bytes What does it mean? Is it important? I got it when trying to load the forum list. -- gnfnrf

    Abberant?

    Aberrant is a roleplaying game from White Wolf. The setting combines near future corporate/government conspiracy with superhero ideas, and is set in the same timeline as Trinity (formerly Aeon), though much closer to the present day. The setup is that a serious accident on an orbiting...

    [Dragonstar] The 65 billion gp magic item, or the Magic Beanstalk

    That depends on if Dragonstar has re-entry damage, like Spelljammer did. I didn't see it in the Starfarer's handbook, but something like that would probably be in the Galaxy Guide (which I don't own) anyway. -- gnfnrf

    [D&D] Guns and Ammo

    I introduced firearms into my (recently concluded) Planescape campaign when one of my players expressed interest in playing a character modelled on The Gunslinger from the Steven King books. The firearms, which are Civil War era single action 6 shot revolvers, were modelled as follows. d10...

    Lizardfolk = ECL 4?!?!

    Would that mean that svirfneblin, with their mind-bogglingly useful +4 dodge bonus, are at an even higher ECL? I haven't seen an official source, but +3 seemed good to me. -- gnfnrf

    Shield Spell

    Assuming everyone adding to this discussion is neither lying nor mistaken, apparently. Weird it may be, but there appears to be no other explanation. -- gnfnrf

    Take 20

    Serves me right for trying to do 1-1/e in my head when I only got 4 hours of sleep the night before. -- gnfnrf

    Take 20

    Except you don't do it until you get it right. You do it once, very slowly and carefully. The result is more or less the same, but the specifics of application are somewhat different. For example, you can't use Take 20 on a test with a penalty for failure. There is no argument to this, as it...

    Does my Flaming Bow hurt the gargoyle?

    Do you have a reference for that? Looking at the SRD, it really appears to be the other way around. Take part of the entry for flaming: and an excerpt from the basic attack action... The referenced section says nothing about special damage types other than to note how they interact with...

    Two Weapon Wackiness.

    By "either head" I assume you mean both heads. Not quite. It has to be enchanted to +1 twice, independently. The weapon bonus costs table is not linear, so this difference becomes crucial for higher magic weapons. However, I think it comes out too expensive to make double weapons, so if it...
