Message: <blockquote data-quote="(un)reason" data-source="post: 5806956" data-attributes="member: 27780">Dragon Magazine Issue 264: October 1999part 3/7Sage advice: Why isn't there ecology info for mundane animals in the monster manual (because you can get plenty of that from a library) What bonuses don't apply against a dracolich (All of them. It's the great equalizer. Strength and magic mean nothing. Only skill can help you. )Are spell like abilities limited by normal level limits (yes)Are weapon VS armor modifiers applied to THAC0 or armor class (THAC0)Do saves for half damage happen before or after damage reduction (normally before. Watch out for exceptions)Can a psionicist empower whole buildings (by the RAW, yes. Skip is skeptical if that was intended or not.)What happens if you use psionic residue on the astral plane (nothing special. Time might not pass there for mundane effects, but psionics isn't mundane)Can any character class learn an advanced martial art. (If they can find someone to train them. Don't make this too easy.)What reach do big creatures have (enough to be a real pain in the ass.)What does a symbol of spell loss do (1d4 random spells gone. Muahahaha!)What AC do undead PC's have (Same as normal. PC's are different, blah blah blah.)Do ravenloft domains use gunpowder or smokepowder (Smokepowder. Stay magical, little jenny. ) How do paladins tithe in foreign countries with no churches (Save it up, or give direct to the poor and needy as they encounter them) What special benefits do saurial paladins get (Not enough. But it's not about the powerz. It's about the virtue. Don't forget it. )Can pixies polymorph into anything? (remember the hit die limits for polymorph self. For pixies without class levels, that's a big deal ) What benefits does a suit of custom elven chain have (The normal. That's special enough, in case you'd forgotten)How good is a bigbys grasping hand at immobilising things. (Not perfectly. It's only one hand, and therefore only has one point of grip) What AC do Bigbys hand spells have (0 It's a good number. Took a lot of inventing, that number.)Can you explain Duo-dimension a little better. Isn't it a little expensive. (Real life physicists spend billions on tricks that are considerably less impressive. You need to lighten up. Look! Skip's drawn you a pretty diagram! Ooooh. Pretty diagram! )Can an unconcious character benefit from a ring of vampiric regeneration (no. No sadism, no gain. )Can demi shadow magic duplicate permanent wall spells (no)How much stone can stone shape shape when stone shape shapes stone (use the less generous interpretation of the formula)Do multiclassed characters get XP bonuses for high ability scores (yes)Where are you when using wraithform (the prime material plane. Not all incorporeal effects also make you ethereal) Can you beat an undead creature with martial arts (Not by the RAW. Skip recommends changing that if you have a MA specialist PC. Otherwise they'll have to sit out way too many fights. See, Skip can be progressive as well as old Skool. Skip is the Sage for all Ages! )</blockquote>
