[QUOTE="hopeless, post: 2840337, member: 36349"] [b]Reg: Wizards & Sorcerors[/b] Halfling Sorceror of Greyhawk and a certain Elven Wizard of Faerun walk into a room and see a pile of treasure. Both:"Casting Detect Magic" the only difference is that the Halfling casts an extended version so the elf has first chance at a spellcraft check. DM: "There's a gleaming longsword, a spellbook, a couple of chests full of money and a ring, all the items radiate as enchanted." The elf being now 11th level (he Halfling is only 3rd in case you're wondering) makes an obviously massive spellcraft check. DM: "The Longsword is definitely enchanted with spells of the school of enchantment and illusion, the spellbook looks genuine and the ring radiates abjuration of a minor level." Elf: "I move to pick up the sword then the spellbook and finally the ring," he tells the DM. Halfling: "Why are the chests enchanted?" DM: "Huh?" Halfling: "You said all of the items were enchanted, I mean that sword he just picked up is probably cursed since why would it radiate illusionary magic?" DM:"You must have misheard what i said" Halfling: "Nope, you actually said that," having an obviously better memory than the DM Elf:"What did you say about the sword?!" he gulps having declared he was picking it up first. Moral of this story: Just because elves can use racial weapons doesn't make it a good thing and for the record this particular elf did find an enchanted longsword which nearly killed him as it belonged to the head of the Assassin's Guild and that wasn't the first time he picked up cursed items either...
