| 81. | DR119 | Dragon #119 | D&D® Immortals Set: Can a magic-user friend of a character
who is following the Epic Hero
path to Immortality make the Epic
Hero’s artifact for him? | | An Epic Hero must obtain a major artifact
from the Sphere of Thought (see
Master DM’s Book, page 15). No mortal can
create an artifact, and no Immortal will
create an artifact for a mortal seeking to
become Immortal. |
| 82. | DR052 | Dragon #52 | How much area may be caused to glow by a Light or Continual
light spell? Do the clerical reverses of these spells blacken 4”
and 12” diameter spheres, respectively? If so, what’s the good of
Darkness, 15’ radius? | | An interesting three-part question: Part two answers part one,
and part three doesn’t seem to make sense. Yes, the reverses of
the cleric spells Light and Continual light would “blacken”
globes of that diameter — the same diameter as the globe of
light formed when the “normal” version of the spell is cast.
Nothing beyond the 4” or 12” diameter sphere of light or darkness
would be affected —that is, the light sphere doesn’t “glow”
and give off light to the area beyond the limit of the sphere.
What’s the good of the Darkness spell? Well, the clerical Light
spells can be reversed, but the magic-user spells can’t, so there
isn’t any duplication of the sort that the question seems to
suggest. |
| 83. | DR129 | Dragon #129 | Can a character using infravision
see invisible creatures such as a
magic-user using an invisibility
spell or ring? Could the character
see a thief hiding in shadows? | | An invisibility spell or ring also defeats
infravision. Infravision might reveal a thief
hidden in shadows. If there is a heat
source nearby (a torch or fire), infravision
is spoiled and the thief remains hidden. If
there is no heat source, infravision reveals
the thief. |
| 84. | DR123 | Dragon #123 | D&D® Expert Set : The invisible stalker spell is subject
to considerable abuse in my
campaign. Isn’t this spell overpowered? | | An invisible stalker always tries to subvert any long and onerous mission that it
is given. If told to serve a character until
he dies, a stalker might promptly fetch the
character’s slippers, run his bath water,
and do the dishes, but will refuse to fight,
track, or carry treasure. Personal servants,
after all, are domestic in nature. If
ordered to protect a character and keep
him from all harm, the stalker will try to
carry the character off to the Elemental
Plane of Air, the stalker’s home plane,
where protecting the character will be
much easier. |
| 85. | DR127 | Dragon #127 | BATTLESYSTEM™: When a unit encounters a wall or
barrier, must it cross the obstacle at
a right angle, or can it cross at any
angle? | | An obstacle can be crossed at any angle.
The unit crossing the obstacle pays the
movement penalty and must go to open
order, no matter what angle is adopted
when crossing the obstacle. |
| 86. | DR129 | Dragon #129 | When a character uses a wand of
magic detection or a wand of enemy
detection, who can see the glow
when a magical or unfriendly object
is revealed? How long does the glow
last? | | Any character who can see the object(s)
revealed can see the glow. If the view is
obstructed by a solid object (such as a
chest), not even the user can see the glow.
This means that a camouflaged creature
spotted with a wand of enemy detection
would appear as a glowing spot under the
camouflage. Anything spotted by a wand
glows for one round. |
| 87. | DR119 | Dragon #119 | D&D® Immortals Set: Can an Immortal PC opt to become
a Hierarch of all the Spheres, since
this is actually more difficult than
becoming the Full Hierarch of just
one Sphere? | | Any Immortal who changes Spheres
immediately loses all accumulated power
(both temporary and permanent) and
becomes a Novice Temporal in the new
Sphere. The lost power can never be
regained except through experience.
While an Immortal character could become a Hierarch of each Sphere in this
manner (except Entropy, which is offlimits
to PCs), the character gets no special
benefit from the effort.
Full Hierarchs have the option of disbursing
their life forces into their home
planes and reincarnating themselves as
mortals, thus restarting the struggle toward
Immortality. This is not the same as
simply changing Spheres, and only a Full
Hierarch may do this. |
| 88. | DR036 | Dragon #36 | In the Dungeon Masters Guide it says that rechargeable
items can be recharged and yet it says elsewhere
that once they are used up, they can’t be recharged. Please
clear this up for me. | | Any items that are rechargeable have to have one charge
left in them to be recharged. To recharge them, you cast spells at them.
One major problem with such items is that one is never sure how many
charges they have. |
| 89. | DR134 | Dragon #134 | D&D: How does wolfsbane affect
lycanthropes? | | Any lycanthrope struck by wolfsbane
must make a Saving Throw vs. Poison or
flee in fear. The wolfsbane can be used as
a melee weapon or thrown at opponents.
Lycanthropes driven away by wolfsbane
will stay away unless pursued and
attacked, or until the next moonrise. |
| 90. | DR119 | Dragon #119 | D&D® Masters Set: When a lycanthrope dies, it reverts
to its normal form. What is a lycanthrope
’s normal form? | | Any lycanthrope’s normal form is
human. |
