I have them. They fit in my backpack and yes I've been carrying them around with me this whole time... and polearms. ALL of the polearms.
If you're not carrying a ten-foot pole, six torches, and a flask of oil, are you even playing Dungeons & Dragons?
But how many people actually knew what the 10 foot pole was for?If you're not carrying a ten-foot pole, six torches, and a flask of oil, are you even playing Dungeons & Dragons?
I think you mean "The Singular Eldritch Phosphorescence of Gygax."Every day we stray further from Gygax's One True Light...
As someone who is now trying to make up for not giving out enough magic items over the years (read: nothing for multiple levels), the fact that I can't rely on magical long swords being sought after makes me very sad. It's probably small potatoes, compared to the rest of the issues being addressed, but I really hope 1D&D makes them more popular again.

Almost ten years ago on another message board, I participated in a thread about ten foot poles and how they work. It led to the creation of the Most Ancient and Worshipful Guild of Roodsmen and Pole-Tenders, hirelings to tend to your ten-foot poles and use them properly. Also incidently they can organize and support your dungeon expedition with dispatch.But how many people actually knew what the 10 foot pole was for?
