Message: <blockquote data-quote="(un)reason" data-source="post: 6143273" data-attributes="member: 27780">Dragon Issue 321: July 2004part 8/8Sage advice is cut down to 1+1/2 pages this month. Skip will definitely be complaining to the editors again. He's been putting the pages in their mages for years, so they'd damn well better put the pages back in his. It costs more to make a cold iron longsword if you enchant it in multiple stages! Correct. You mess up, you don't make as much profit. Sucks to be you. )Can you make slashing attacks with a rapier at a penalty (Have you seen a rapier in real life. They're pathetic bendy things with no edge at all. They really aren't designed to seriously hurt people, just look cool. You can do it, but with a -4 penalty to hit and damage. ) How does stoneskin work (You're right, your friend is wrong. It's been nerfed like hell but it's still pretty strong. It won't save you for long, and a strong fighter will have no trouble kicking your ass.)Do synergy bonuses stack (They have no type, so yes they do) Does the extra cost for special ammunition apply per shot or per batch (per shot. It's ridiculously pricey)Do they still break when you shoot them (yes. See the previous question for skip's comments on this method's inefficiency. This is why you use melee weapons to deal with demons. Getting the right guns is just too expensive.) How do you convert DR from 3.0 to 3.5 (Download the free update booklet :teeth ting: Gotta suck up to the WotC people.)Can wizards cast spells straight from their spellbook (Recycled question. The answer is still no.)How many times can you charge in combat (As often as you have room. This will result in you moving around the battlefield a lot. Better have stuff to stop AoO's) Dork tower simply can't cope with the real world. This is probably why they roleplay. The plane of radiance stuff is pretty damn cool, but other than that, this issue is once again filled with formulaic filler, rehash and sequels, leaving it my least favourite of the planar themed issues so far overall. It's definitely disappointing when you consider the number of existing planes (particularly the inner ones) that still don't have more than a few pages on them, and would really benefit from a magazine special to expand and possibly redefine them. Let's hope they make room for them before they decide to switch cosmologies altogether in a few years time.</blockquote>
