    The Lance

    True, but the longspear is balanced differently, and would not apply into the "lance socket" or the shield cut that were used to help support the lance. <see post #96>

    The Lance

    Actually, during the jousting tourneys, the knights would use blunt tipped lances. I can't think of a much better way to describe it in game terms than charging with a lance to do non-lethal damage.

    The Lance

    Just a point to remember about lance usage. The armor that knights wore during the main period that lances were used (not spears) had a "socket" under the right arm to help support the lance during the charge and the shock of hitting. I don't what the "socket" looked like (I read about it in a...

    PC Wealth Table formula - help me!

    Okay, come on guys, I know that we have some math geniuses on this place. I've got the formula almost figured but I can't quite figure out how to do an exponential progression (or a log progression, for that matter). I know that it's one of the two, but I'm stuck.

    So anyone pick up the Dungeon Master's Guide II?

    I've been DMing for 25 years and I'm still learning new things every time I sit at the table. The day I stop learning will be the day I drop dead.

    So anyone pick up the Dungeon Master's Guide II?

    Signature Traits are non-game rule affecting elements of magic item creation that change the look of the item in subtle ways (e.g., Heavy items feels unusually heavy, but its weight is the same as always). I can't find anything about a wearable wand, though. It is not a signature trait...

    PC Wealth Table formula - help me!

    Okay, I've almost got it figured out. The PC wealth table works off of an exponetial (or logrithymic) progression. But, I don't know enough about such things to be able to figure out the formula (and yes, there is an approximate formula). What I have is posted below. Is there anyone out there...

    DMG II -- In my hands . . .

    It looks like they have to be at least the same type (humanoid, for example), but it doesn't say anything about whether two different races could or could not be combined.

    DMG II -- In my hands . . .

    No, a mob consists of 48 Small or Medium creatures or 12 Large creatures. Hit Dice are based on creature type, so a mob of human commoners has 30d8, not 30d4 (class hit die for commoners). Base attack bonus is also based on creature type, so a mob of elf fighters has a BAB of +22. The size of...

    DMG II -- In my hands . . .

    They give 2 examples, a riot (mob of humans) and a stampede (mob of light horses). You can create mobs using most any creature. Can you see it? A rage of dragons using the mob rules! Ookkaayy!?! Looks pretty good, and better explained than in the adventure path.

    Dragon Cohort Question

    Does your DM have access to Dragon #320? If so, then on page 45, there is a Silver Dragon monster class that you could use for your cohort.

    Living Spell CR and level adjustment?

    According to MMIII; CR = spell level of spell + 1/2 caster level, rounded down. If your combining two or more spells; CR = spell level of highest level spell + 1/2 caster level + 1/2 the sum of the additional spell levels. No LA listed.

    When does Waterdeep ship?

    The front page here says july for Heroes of Battle, too. But WotC's website disagrees, Waterdeep is June.I posted in the Meta forum about that, but it seems to have been ignored.

    Paladin mount abilities and Ashworm Dragoon mount abilities. Do they stack?

    :lol: Your telling me!:lol: Thanks for the help. I haven't had anyone take levels in paladin or any other class that grants a creature follower other than wizard or sorcerer since 3e came out, so I'm a little light on how this stuff works.
