[OOC] House Millithor in City of the Spider Queen

[Endur]

Its not really a cabin, but yes, you could find a shadow and apply one dose of poison to each weapon.

You even successfully managed to do so without poisoning yourself.

My money reduced to 3k after buying the poison.

Could Dariel hide in a corner of the cabin and apply poison to his swords without being seen doing so by folks from outside the cabin?

 

[Thels]

Good!

The subtle blade now has Giant wasp poison, while the icy blade has Large scorpion venom.

 

[Xael]

Xael, do you still think Quertus will have an >80% chance of taking Trygon now that you've had your vision?

I never did...

Detect Magic

A quick look at the Detect Magic spell in 3.5 reveals that they cleaned up some ambiguities and forgot (or didn't choose to) clean up other ambiguities.

Its never been real clear to me whether scrolls or potions or other "magic items" that aren't doing anything magical should radiate as "magic" when exposed to a detect magic spell.

For this game, I'm going with the assumption that all magical items radiate as magic, even when they aren't doing anything magical.

In the IC post, I mentioned that there some auras that Quertus couldn't see. Under the core rules, this means that whatever is generating the aura is out of the line of sight of the person casting detect magic. A ring where you can't see the person's hand, or a potion in a pocket, or a wand up a sleeve. If the item is out of your line of sight, you can only determine the nature of the aura if the item is currently having an effect on somebody. If the item isn't activated, you can only determine the nature of the aura (the school of magic) if you have a direct line of sight.

Its also not real clear what school of magic a +1 weapon radiates. I'm going with Transmutation.

 

[Pyrex]

A couple pages up you seemed pretty confident that given appropriate
time to prepare that you could take him. A more accurate question above
would have been "How do you feel about your chances now?".

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Out of curiosity how many other mercenaries have been posted and meet DM approval?

I'm I really the only one?

 

[Endur]

Yes, Kilcif is currently the only PC mercenary. House Millithor plans to acquire several npc mercenaries.

Cool, I love being special.

If you want someone to help make them, minus the background of course, let me know I rather bored at work right now.

 

[Endur]

Actually, what I need is the reverse. I'm fine on stats. I could probably use some backgrounds for a couple of Ogres, a couple of Bugbears, and half a dozen hobgoblins.

I can help with that, do you need names too or do you have them already? Lastly, do you want me to send the stats for a couple, I would hate to make a background for a weak but resourceful (low STR and high INT) hobgoblin only to find out he's quite strong and definitely dumb.
