On page 243 of my 3.0 DMG it says, "Nonarmor or nonshield items made from mithral weigh half as much as the same item made from other metals." This wording explicitly excludes armor and shields from mithral's weight reduction properties. Still, when I look directly at the listing for Mithral...

So even though there is a difference in font sizes, both sections of green writing are direct quotes from the SRD?

Not as far as I know, but isn't the penalty for wearing armor with which you are not proficient a penalty to attacks? I believe the penalty to attacks is the armor's Armor Check Penalty. And since that is zero in this case, it wouldn't matter. (Please correct me if I'm wrong on this.)...

Ditto. I played through the Keep on the Borderlands when my mom bought me the D&D Basic Set (because it was included in the box). When she saw me enjoying it so much, she then bought me the D&D Expert Set, which contained the Isle of Dread. Of course, I had no one to teach me the game, so I...

Hear hear! (Or is it "here here"? Not being British, I've never been quite sure...)

It happens every year for good reason. Deep down, we all realize that - after the nomination process - the ENNIES are something of a popularity contest. We know this because we all voted! Those of us who are not professional reviewers (and who, therefore, are not given free copies of all the...

Wow, this is an excellent point! QFT

2010 AD&D 2nd edition got a 10 year lifespan before the introduction of 3E. I believe 3E deserves at least as much time before a major overhaul. So I voted for late 2010. However, 3E could go on even longer than that, as far as I'm concerned. (By voting for 2010, I was just trying to...

A Game of Thrones I was really rooting for A Game of Thrones to win something to give Guardians of Order a nice sendoff. Unfortunately, it was a victim of the fact that more people play/are familiar with Mutants and Masterminds. Bummer... :\ Still, Silver is pretty good! :heh:

I think there are good reasons to make an exception in this case. Many people are playing in the Age of Worms adventure path, and ENWorld would be the perfect place for people to offer reviews of the material. This would give other DMs the chance to get a heads-up about shoddy material in the...

According to the spell description, Shatter doesn't work on magical weapons, so it wouldn't need to make a save at all if it were magical. But I definitely appreciate the quote. It helps a lot! Thanks. I'd like to show this quote to my players. Does anyone know where I can find it in the...

Ok, my players have a wand of Shatter, and they are trying to use it to break the big bad guys (non-magical) great axe. I'm confused by the description of the spell. It says that there is a Will save to resist the effect. Some of my players were arguing that since the axe has no Wisdom, it...

Hee-hee! I like it... I also got a chuckle out of Malum's sample prayer. :) Werk writes, "If you allow them to rest for 23.5 hours, that's the problem." I'm not sure I understand. If the party has the food and water, and finds a secure enough campsite, how exactly should I *stop* them...

I agree with you whole-heartedly that being picky about this is no fun for anyone. Still, why did the designers include these time-specific mechanics in the game when we are playing in pre-industrial fantasy settings that have no clocks or watches? (Please, don't bother posting that there are...

Since the game is called *Dungeons* & Dragons, it is no surprise that many adventurers find themselves underground for long periods of time. Clerics are supposed to pray at certain pre-specified times of day in order to recover spells. But if they are underground (and there's no such thing as...

Oops. I just found the answer on your official website (which is linked to at the bottom of the first post in this thread). Sorry for the redundant question.

Storn, your art is great! Thanks for making it available to us gamers! :) I noticed over at Catspaw that Storn is your first name. That surprised me. I had assumed it was your last name. What's the story behind that name? (How did your parents come up with it? Or, if it is a nom de...

I have 2 pre-3E WotC products sitting on my gaming table at this very moment! They are two 2nd edition guides to Greyhawk printed around 1999/2000: "The Player's Guide to Greyhawk" and "Greyhawk: The Adventure Begins". I am using them both to help provide background for my Age of Worms...

I fixed the problem by going into Quicktime Preferences|Audio|Default Music Synthesizer and changing it from Quicktime Music Synthesizer to General MIDI. I don't know why I was having this problem. I can see from the posts in this thread that most people are having no trouble, so it must just...

For some reason, I am getting no sound when I try to play it. I downloaded Quicktime 7.1 just a few weeks ago. When I click Play, I get the pictures, but no sound. (Sound is working for other apps on my computer.) Any idea why I'm unable to hear it?
