Message: <blockquote data-quote="(un)reason" data-source="post: 5815954" data-attributes="member: 27780">Dragon Magazine Issue 265: November 1999part 3/7Sage advice: Do planescape characters get modifiers to the new thieving abilities (yes)Does true seeing reveal if you've been artificially aged (no. It's your true form now.)What happens to stuff a druid is wearing while an animal when they turn back (It falls off. Nothing so spectacular as merging.)How quickly does control temperature work (instantly and insistently.)Does a ring of fire resistance protect against normal fire (easily. )Can you summarize negative status penalties. (if you like)Can animal friendship break a familiars bond (no. That's their primary loyalty, no matter what. )Can arrows fired from a magical bow hurt creatures that need magic weapons to hit. (no. The extra force comes at the release stage. ) What does the Paralyzation spell do? (use hold person if you can't be bothered to get the compendium. They are not that different anyway)What spheres do knights of solamnia have (Kiri-Jolith's. He's the guy responsible. )What happens if you disjoin a cage of Zagyg (they escape unharmed) Can invisible creatures see other invisible creatures (no. Pixies have to work something out. I'm sure they're used to it, as they've grown up not seeing each other most of the time. )Why do duergar PC's have their spell level limited to 10. (To keep the game from breaking)Do speciality druids count as clerics or druids for purposes of level limits. (Druids) How fast do Trow swim. (Faster than you. Better hope you're faster than your buddies) If you take 6 continual lighted coins into an area of continual darkness, how many of them are cancelled out (1. Basic maths, my dear.)Can you guard with a whip (Yes. What do lion tamers do? ) Which has default in order of attacks, reach or initiative (reach. Damn useful, reach. )What happens if two people charge each other simultaneously (they can't. The resolution system doesn't work like that. Once one of them's closed, the other can't charge. ) Can you do more than one attack of opportunity against a swooping creature (Only if it does multiple provoking actions. Probably no, in other words. )There's 40 posts on your message boards debating exactly how wall of force works. That's huge. (Oh my. Skip must get caught up on this newfangled intartubes thing. The private sage cannot be seen to not know what Skip is talking about. )How much room do you need to charge (15 feet)Can a +4 defender sword hurt things that need +4 to hit (No. It's the attack bonus that counts. Same reason you can't shield bash things with your magical shield and do tons of damage. ) ProFiles: Wolfgang Baur is another of our writers who's turned his hand to all sorts of things, and come out pretty well, as much due to luck as skill. Planescape, Al-Qadim, Birthright, he's certainly contributed to quite a few books that I personally enjoyed. Currently, he's immersing himself in conspiracy theory fun as he writes for Alternity's Dark Matter setting. But not taking the things he reads too seriously, thankfully. After all, as he knows, real life is very much about luck. Vast global conspiracies that stay secret against against all the odds just wouldn't be able to hold themselves together, given human nature.</blockquote>
