| 111. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | How do I handle monsters like Asmodeus, Baalzebul,
Demogorgon, etc. who have hit points given, but not
hit dice? I don’t know what level they fight, cast spells, or
save at. | | Using the procedure described for golems (Monster
Manual, page 47), hit dice for any monster not given a hit-dice
number can be calculated by using 4.5 points per hit die divided into
the given hit-point total and rounding the result to the nearest whole
number. For example, a clay golem (50 HP) is considered as an 11-
hit-dice monster. Asmodeus (199 HP) is considered to have 44 hit
dice, and Juiblex (88 HP) is treated as a monster of 20 hit dice. |
| 112. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | If a fighter has a basic dexterity score of 16 but
needs a dexterity of 17 to change classes and become a thief,
can he become a thief if he has a magic item that raises his
dexterity to 17? | | No. If he raises his dexterity to 17 by a Wish or by drinking
a potion whose effects are permanent, or by any other means which
bring about a permanent change, then it is permissible to change to a
thief. Simply possessing a magic item that raises dexterity to 17 is not
enough, since the raise in dexterity would no longer apply if the character
lost possession of that item. |
| 113. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | At what level does the Hand of Vecna operate for
the purposes of overcoming magic resistance? | | 21st level. |
| 114. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | Are Haste spells cumulative? | | No. |
| 115. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | If a character is held in a Rope of Entanglement,
can he still cast a spell which requires a pointed finger? | | He cannot cast any spells while entangled. Spell-casting requires
absolute concentration. No other action can be attempted or
accomplished while casting a spell, and it is not possible to cast a spell
while otherwise engaged. |
| 116. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | If you caught a newly hatched silver dragon and
raised it, would it have your alignment or its mother’s alignment? | | It would retain the alignment of its parents, since that is
what its natural tendencies are. |
| 117. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | On the cover of the Monster Manual there is a
creature flying just above the centaur and the unicorn. What
is it? | | According to Dave Sutherland, the artist who painted the
cover, it is a red dragon. |
| 118. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | What are the armor class, hit dice, etc. figures
for the snakes in the clerical Sticks to Snakes spell? | | According to Gary Gygax, these are the figures that should
be used:
| Poisonous | Constrictor
|
|---|
| ARMOR CLASS | 5 | 6
|
|---|
| MOVE | 15” | 12”

| 119. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | As listed in the Monster Manual, the larva and
the su-monster have incomplete alignments. What are they
supposed to be? | | The larva’s alignment is neutral evil, and the su-monster
should be chaotic neutral. |
| 120. | DR043 | Dragon #43 | The mind flayer is listed in the Monster Manual
as having psionic attack mode B, which is described in the
Players Handbook as Mind Thrust. However, in the description
for the mind flayer, it is described as a mind blast. Does
this mean that the attack mode should be A, Psionic Blast,
instead of B, Mind Thrust? | | Yes. The mind flayer’s psionic modes should be listed as
A/FGH. |
