31. | DR033 | Dragon #33 | What would happen if you hit a Lich with a
Rod of Resurrection? | | The Lich would have to make a system shock roll if he
is 120 years old or younger. If he is older than 120, then it would have
no effect. However, if he is young enough and makes his system shock
roll, he is resurrected, and you now have a mad, very high-level, evil
Magic-User facing you. Either way, you have your hands full. Remember,
the Lich loses all of his Lich abilities if resurrected. |
32. | DR033 | Dragon #33 | May thieves use bows? | | No. |
33. | DR033 | Dragon #33 | One of my friends has a Cleric/Magic-User/
Fighter who is human. In the Players Handbook it says that
humans are not limited as to what class they can become.
Under the section on multi-class characters it says only halfelves
can be Clerics/Magic-Users/Fighters. I say his human
cannot be multi-classed and he says he can. Who is right? | | You are. Humans can only be one class at a time unless
they opt to change classes. For instance, a 7th-level Fighter decides that
she now desires to become a Magic-User. She must not pick up her
sword and use it again until she is a 7th-level Magic-User or she will lose
any experience she would have gained in that adventure as a Magic-
User. Once she reaches her level as that of a fighter, i.e. 7th-level
Fighter, and 7th-level Magic-User, she may now use her sword, but she
cannot wear armor and cast spells. Humans may become dual class
and they are not limited as to how far they can advance, as are the other
races who can become multi-classed. |
34. | DR033 | Dragon #33 | Although the Players Handbook does not include
them in the description of the Raise Dead spell, may
elves and half-orcs be raised from the dead? | | No, they cannot. They do not have souls, and therefore
a wish must be used to bring them back. |
35. | DR034 | Dragon #34 | Can a thief wear studded leather? | | No. He can’t move silently because the studs will click on
surfaces he touches, and they will add extra weight, making climbing
up walls extremely hard. |
36. | DR034 | Dragon #34 | I have just started playing AD&D and I dont
know what the following weapons are: Bardiche, Bec de Corbin,
Bill-Guisarme, Fauchard, Fauchard-Fork, Flail, Glaive,
Glaive-Guisarme, Guisarme, Guisarme-Voulge, Lucern Hammer,
Partisan, Pick, Ransuer, Scimitar, Spetum and Voulge.
Can you tell me what they are? | | Alas, I don’t have the space to do so. However, all the
weapons but the Pick and Scimitar can be found in The Dragon #22, in
an article on pole arms. |
37. | DR034 | Dragon #34 | Would a Periapt of Wound Closure heal or allow
the healing of damage caused by a Sword of Wounding? | | No. Only time and rest or a Wish will heal a wound caused
by a Sword of Wounding. |
38. | DR034 | Dragon #34 | First, my question is in two parts; are the statistics
in the present Gods, Demi-Gods and Heroes correct for
AD&D, and since there are no large-scale battle rules in the
Dungeon Masters Guide, are the rules in Swords and Spells or
Chainmail the official army rules? If not, what rules are recommended? | | Gods, Demi-Gods and Heroes was written for Original
Dungeons and Dragons. There is a revised edition being written right
now by Jim Ward and Rob Kuntz. This book will be for play with
Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. There are no official rules for army
battles in AD&D yet. We find that Chainmail works pretty well when we
want to have armies fight each other. We are presently considering
something along these lines, but it is in the beginning stages. |
39. | DR034 | Dragon #34 | One of my crazy friends has a Cleric/Fighter/
Magic-User who also happens to be a human. In the Players
Handbook under human, it says that humans are not limited as to what class they can become. Under the section on multi-
classed characters, it says that only half-elves can be Clerics/
Fighters/Magic-Users. Am I right in saying that his human
cant be a multi-classed character? | | Yes, you are. Humans can become dual class, but not
multi-classed. Only demi-humans can be multi-classed. I suggest that
you have your friend read the sections on multi-classed characters and
a character with two classes on pages 32 and 33 of the Players Handbook.
This should clear up all of his misconceptions. |
40. | DR034 | Dragon #34 | Will you answer questions about Boot Hill, Divine
Right, Gamma World, etc.? | | No, not on my own time. I don’t play those games much. I
have, but I prefer Q&D/AD&D. To have any questions in those areas
answered, you will have to write to TSR and then they will see that the
correct person answers your letter. |
