Doesn't identify work just fine on cursed items?

In fact, I've made quite a few points which you are "evading" one way or the other... and you are only answering "some" of my phrases with what I see as irrelevant and unsupported. Honestly, I can't see how we can keep up the debate/discussion here...

Eldritch_Lord, I don't see ANY ARGUMENT WHATSOEVER in your last post to support how D&D is based more on Renaissance than the Middle Ages...

I think i explained myself in my previous post? ...now are you saying that your word has more value ...for some reason? I suggest you check on Gygax's influences... it's always medieval this ...medieval that. ? No, when I am thinking medieval, I'm thinking everything from the 5th century to...

It so happens that I agree with that article and I posted it so as to say that I'm far from being the only one who believes that D&D, historically, is based in the Middle Ages and not the Renaissance. Is that so bad? As for that, I believe I've covered it all in my previous posts...

I love your accuracy :) Technologically, the world of the Forgotten Realms is not nearly as advanced as that of Earth; in this respect, it resembles the pre-industrial Earth of the 13th or 14th century. However, the presence of magic provides an additional element of power to the societies

...and because I consider it rude to answer to posts with a one liner, permit me to address your points one by one. No one said it is. I address this in my previous post where I mention your name. Not always but there are cases they do. Take a look at the Purple Dragon "Knights" who serve...

Ohhh come ooooon guys, this thread can't be dead yet!!!!:D

The satisfaction of occasionally killing off a PC if he gets lucky? That. :)

lol... don't get me started on "real-life magic"... There will be nothing but red in this thread... if I... "elaborate" on that... :cool:

WOW!!!... I had no idea he actually posted on EN World!!!!! ...as far as the two posts you mentioned, I don't disagree with anything he says, nor does his response conflict with what I say above...:) ...I don't know I just get the feeling that a lot of people think that the Middle Ages were...

I assume you are are referring to the: The debate is not on how D&D is different from the Middle Ages. As you said, in the Middle Ages there was no magic, wizards, real gods etc... we all agree to that... Sorry for that folks, I'm an atheist and i got carried away!:)

Cyberzombie The debate is not on how D&D is different from the Middle Ages. As you said, in the Middle Ages there was no magic, wizards, real gods etc... we all agree to that... The Debate is on which period of actual History is D&D based on. This does not mean that D&D is IDENTICAL to the...

Notre Dame de Paris The first period of construction from 1163 into the 1240's coincided with the musical experiments of the Notre Dame school. The cathedral was essentially complete by 1345. The Middle Ages (adjectival form: medieval or mediæval) is a historical period following the Iron...

Some information on Guilds.

I believe quoting myself once more will be sufficient...

Oh, it's for "plot hook purpose" and not based on Medieval times, got it. No, you must be joking. Does "crusades" ring a bell? Priest and wizards are the most powerful figures in all settings. Both "Medieval-Dark Ages/fantasy" archetypes, no question about it. Behind almost every single...

No problem, and thank you for taking the time to discuss my PrC. Yes. lot's of hide checks... Just to clarify one thing. you do not take the -20 so as "to move up to your target". You make a hide check with a -20 while attacking, so as to find out if you are "seen" during the attack...

The spell does not have a permanent duration. Once the spell ends the item will "try" to occupy the same space it's volume originally did. I don't see anything broken about it. It either brakes through its confines, or it brakes itself, or there is damage to both of them. There is nothing broken...
