[Maidhc O Casain]

D&D 3.0 had both a half spear and a short spear. Both were simple melee weapons that could be thrown (range 20). The half spear was a Medium weapon that did 1d6, the short spear was a large weapon that did 1d8. In 3.5, the halfspear became a shortspear, the shortspear became a spear.

Interestingly (or maybe not so much) in 3.0 the longspear was a martial weapon but in 3.5 it is simple.

Thanks, Mowgli! I never played 3.0, so I had no idea about any of that. I barely ever played 2E at all, I pretty much went straight from AD&D (1E) to 3.5E. (For those of you who do not already know this. )

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

I would have had no clue, except that I played a 3.0 Grugach Barbarian/Druid who used a half-spear. When I converted him to 3.5 I just about went ape- crazy trying to find the half-spear in the new PH before I realized what had happened.

 

[Leif]

"ape-devil"??

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Yup. It's a here-to-fore unreached level of . . . well, whatever condition your reaching levels of!

(I had a patient once who told me I was driving him to the highest level of pissitivity, which I suppose would be just shy of ape-devil mad).

 

[Leif]

the highest level of pissitivity

Oh, that's a GOOD one!

1- falchion is the very first weapon listed on the table on p.117, under two-handed melee weapons
2- The goblin soceress Uela had a potion of Cure Moderate Wounds cl5, 2 doses
3- what scepter? where did you get it?
4- It says "half spear" but, yeah, it's a shortspear.
5- the falchion and the ghost touch shortsword are both +1 magical weapons.

I will re-find the sceptor, unless Kerlan beats me to it. as for every thing else, nice items.

edit:

**How many glasses of wine can you get from a bottle of wine?**

Depends on the glass. A typical bottle is 750 ml, which should be a little over 25 ounces US. So if you like 6 ounce glasses that's 4 and some dregs or if you like 8 ounce glasses that's 3 and some dregs. Or you could spill a little for Seder night and still have 3 or 4 full glasses.

3- what scepter? where did you get it?

Here it is.

Kerlan pulls out 900 sp, 1400 gp, 50 pp, a gold scepter, a wand, and a small pink and green stone.

It's from the invisible chest.

that was in one of the secret rooms after capizzio had re-joined. i remember that now. it was a room near the secret exit to the outside.
