| 51. | DR035 | Dragon #35 | Must a scroll with spells be read aloud for the
spells to work? | | Yes, unless the scroll has a curse on it and just reading the
scroll silently will cause the curse to take effect |
| 52. | DR035 | Dragon #35 | How can I spice up my D&D game? My players,
as well as myself, are tired of going on dungeon and outdoor
adventures. I don’t have any city maps and I really don’t want to
bother with them, so what else is there left to do? | | Well, you can ask your players what they would like to do.
They probably have all kinds of ideas. In my campaign I had a similar
problem, and now one of my players is trying to become Pope. So, just
ask them. I am sure they would be more than glad to help. Remember,
they are not the enemy. They are your friends and more than likely they
will be glad to stick their nose into the campaign and give you their
advice. It is only human nature to do so. |
| 53. | DR035 | Dragon #35 | In AD&D, can a character wear armor over armor?
For example: padded or leather armor under splint, banded,
chainmail or platemail; or even chainmail under platemail?
If this can be done, how would it alter the armor class? | | No. The armor (splint, banded, etc. ) already has parts of
lower armor classes built into it. Therefore, plate mail will have leather
padding (to reduce strain) and chainmail to cover areas not protected by
the plate. Splint and banded often have a leather backing. Chain will
have leather padding in places where the weight of the armor falls.
Without this protection, heavy armors would soon become uncomfortable
and painful, as the metal would chafe and cut the skin. Also,
wearing two layers of armor would make it very difficult for the character
to bend or move. Armor classes are not cumulative in this way. |
| 54. | DR035 | Dragon #35 | Can Thieves be chaotic good? I have three players
who are, and we are wondering if they will have to make an
alignment change. We are also wondering whether or not this
alignment change is considered voluntary on their part? If it is,
will I have to make them drop a level? | | Thieves can be neutral or evil, but not good. In this situation,
I don’t think you should force them to make an alignment change.
Just have them become their new alignments as if they have always
been of that alignment This way they won’t be penalized for not reading
their Players Handbook, but the next time they don’t read the book,
don’t show them any mercy—unless, of course, you goofed too. |
| 55. | DR036 | Dragon #36 | Must all characters that can use magic record
their spells on books or scrolls in order to remember them? | | If the characters are spell casters, yes; some of them must
record their spells on books. Only Clerics and Druids get theirs each day
through prayer and meditation. Magic-Users and Illusionists must keep
one or more spell books. Some people like the idea of all spells being
contained in one book, while others, including myself, like the idea of
one book for each level of spells. How many spell books you will have
and what size they will be is up to the DM of the game you play in. |
| 56. | DR036 | Dragon #36 | Can a Paladin put someone to death if the victim
is severely scarred and doesn’t want to live? | | Absolutely not! The Paladin would try to find a reason for
the person to live, if not with the world, then shut away doing religious
work where those who benefit from the aid would not care what he
looks like. The Paladin would also do all that he could to see that the
character did not succeed in taking his own life. |
| 57. | DR036 | Dragon #36 | I am a 12th-level Paladin and I want to start a
lineage. Is this possible? Can my Paladin get married, and if
so, can he have children? | | Well, most believe that Paladins practice celibacy. I firmly
uphold this belief and will not allow my Paladin, Guinivere, to marry.
This is a personal decision, or it can be made by your DM for you. Even if
they don’t marry, I am quite sure that Paladins are capable of having
children. |
| 58. | DR036 | Dragon #36 | How does a first-level Magic-User get spells in
his first-level spell book? Also, what obligations does he have
to his master for his spell book? | | A first-level Magic-User gets his spells placed in his spell
book by himself or his mentor by way of a Write spell. This is the way he
places all his spells in his spell books. As to his obligations to the
Magic-User who was his master, that is between them. I myself am
cleaning up after a 10th-level Magic-User’s young black dragon twice a
week in return for a book of third-level spells. |
| 59. | DR036 | Dragon #36 | Why can’t demi-humans be Sages? | | Demi-humans can be Sages. However, they are not as
readily available as humans. Demi-humans are especially not interested
in answering adventurers’ questions. |
| 60. | 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. |
