European castles had interesting design feature. Spiral staircases were designed so that if the occupants were retreating from invaders, the defenders shield arm (left arm) was against the inside wall. The sword arm was towards the outside. This gave an advantage to the defenders in melee...

Sounds like they are SOL.

Not at all. You are very civil.

Unless it is fixing a typo I treat it as a house rule. Same as splat books.

You haven't made a case for it being more definitive, other than parroting perhaps, WotC people who also lied about 4.0 release...

Yes, a rule book that isn't required to play or listed in the Core books is a "definitive authority". WotC pretzel logic?

Right, otherwise Arrow slits wouldn't exist...

4.0 & 3.X use different movement systems. In 3.x you measure movement in distance. In 4.0 it is measured in geometric shapes... So, you should post the question the 4.0 rules forum.

“Very familiar” is a place where you have been very often and where you feel at home. “Studied carefully” is a place you know well, either because you can currently see it, you’ve been there often, or you have used other means (such as scrying) to study the place for at least one hour. “Seen...

My bad, in my brain I misread and labeled as base rather than PrC.

Not really. You need the PHB, DMG & MM to really play. You don't need the RC... Thus despite WotC saying it was the senior source (in order to boost rev in between editions) it makes zero sense as it doesn't replace those books.

Are you playing 4.0?

You're going to get on the XP penalty. You will lag way behind others in the group.

That AND the rule on class level needed to cast a spell of X level. I've NEVER had a player who thought they could cast a spell of higher level than the rules in the PHB state.

There are many reasons to take what's written in the RC with a chunk of salt. None of the groups I play with use it anyway.

It is clear in the PHB section on the Cleric class. You should get it. The SRD doesn't really cut it.

The 2nd Ed DMG had a point system for a DM to design new Char classes.

Actually, I believe that page 284 of the DMG tells exactly and only, what is effected by armour being made out of mithral. One of the things not effected is the proficiency feat needed to use the armour in question.

Actually, there you have it for "elven chain". It is a specific item. Sorry, thanks for playing. ;)

Does the DMG specifically state that being a dwarf doesn't turn you into a god? Not a good point to argue a rule from.
