| 101. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | Are giants entitled to save vs. death magic when
struck by a Hammer of Thunderbolts? | | No. The power of the weapon, when used by a being with
Gauntlets of Ogre Power and a Girdle of Giant Strength, is so awesome
that it will automatically destroy a “normal” giant. However,
giants with unusual powers or strengths like Surtur, Thrym or
Mordagz (see Deities & Demigods) will only take the proper amount
of damage from a successful strike. |
| 102. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | Are creatures entitled to a save vs. death magic
when hit by an Arrow of Slaying? | | No. |
| 103. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | Are creatures entitled to save vs. level loss when
hit by a wight, wraith, spectre, etc.? | | No. |
| 104. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | If a 2nd-level illusionist casts Color Spray at two
bugbears, what happens? | | A bugbear has 3 hit dice and is thus one level above the
level of the caster. According to page 94 of the Players Handbook, the
monsters do get a saving throw, and if they fail it they will be blinded
for 1-4 rounds. |
| 105. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | When the Dungeon Masters Guide or Players
Handbook states that high-level clerical spells are only given
by a deity directly, does that mean directly each time a cleric
wants to recharge a high-level spell, or directly only the first
time, upon acquiring a new level? | | In Deities & Demigods it is stated that the gods punish their
clerics’ transgressions by withholding higher-level spells when they do
wrong. From this, it can be inferred that it is necessary for a cleric to
make a new appeal to his/her deity for a spell of third level or higher
every time such a spell is desired. |
| 106. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | Does one saving throw, apply to multiple attacks
(e.g. If three ghouls hit one character simultaneously are
three saves necessary to negate paralyzation?)? | | The act of rolling a saving throw is the end result of the
concept that there is a chance for an occurrence to not adversely influence
a character for one reason or another. In the case of three ghouls
making paralyzation attacks, there are three separate chances to be influenced
by the magic of the ghouls and thus a need for three separate
saving throws. Just because a character is lucky enough to resist
the influence of two ghouls does not mean that the luck he has will or
will not run out with that third attack. |
| 107. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | May a Paladin initiate melee or must he/she wait
for provocation? | | Just because a character or creature is lawful good does
not mean they will allow themselves to be placed in positions where
they can be taken advantage of. When dealing with beings that are
not lawful good, they will not only be constantly on their guard, they
will also deal with them as they would be dealt with by those of other
alignments. They will not allow a demon the first strike just to be sporting,
or let a band of orcs have the first arrow shots just because they
are far weaker than the paladin, or let a beautiful neutral illusionist cast
a spell on them just because she is a woman (or pretty). The class survives
because it innately knows how to deal with other alignments and
not be tricked by the lawless ways of others. |
| 108. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | An elf magic-user has reached maximum level,
and the player has decided to polymorph the character into a
human so he can continue to gain levels. Can he do this? | | No, he cannot. He may look like a human, but he is still an
elf in reality, and therefore racial limitations still apply. |
| 109. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | Will a Dispel Magic spell remove an Anti-Magic
Shell? | | No. |
| 110. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | I’m worried about my characters not being as
powerful as the other characters in tournaments. What type
of character will I need to improve my chances of winning? | | Don’t worry. No characters from campaigns are allowed to
be entered in important tournaments. Characters are provided for
players in such events, to ensure that no one character is the most
powerful and that all players entered have a chance at winning. |
