 370DR046 Dragon #46 Do Clerics with 18 Strength qualify for exceptional Strength? What about multi-classed characters? Double-classed humans?  Only characters who are Fighters or have the Fighter class as one of their classes can qualify for an exceptional strength rating. Furthermore, several races and genders of races are by their nature unable to achieve an 18 Strength, and thus do not qualify for the exceptional rating even if they are Fighters. These types include all females except for humans and half-orcs, plus male halflings. 
 371DR132 Dragon #132 BATTLESYSTEM™: Can creatures such as elves or treants charge in the woods?  Only figures representing single creatures or characters may charge in or into the woods. 
 372DR036 Dragon #36 If a party comes across a magic item, should one tell them it is magic? Would it feel magical?  Only tell the party that something is magic if they throw a Detect Magic spell on it. The only other way to find out is to pick it up and try it out. That might be dangerous, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Never, NEVER, tell them, “Oh gee, it feels like a +2 sword.” Make them work to find out what it is, never just give anything away. 
 373DR127 Dragon #127 BATTLESYSTEM™: How do you determine if a unit is completely in or just at the edge of a woods? Is the entire unit considered to be at the edge if just one figure touches the edge?  Only the status of individual figures matters when a unit is in or near a woods. A figure is at the edge of a woods if any portion of the figure touches the edge. Otherwise, the figure is either completely in or completely out of the woods. Thus, a unit could be half-in and half-out of a forest, with some figures on the edge. 
 374DR129 Dragon #129 Can a character with infravision use a mirror to look around a corner?  Only with great difficulty. Mirrors do not reflect infrared light very well. Only creatures who are very close can be seen in the mirror, and only if there are no other heat sources nearby. 
 375DR129 Dragon #129 I remember an article in DRAGON Magazine that said elves make the best archers of any fantasy race. Why, then, don’t elves get some sort of bonus when firing bows in the D&D game?  Opinions expressed in the DRAGON Magazine are not official unless labeled as such. The author of the article you read was fully entitled to express his opinion about the quality of elven archers, but that does not affect the D&D game, however. The author was probably referring to the AD&D® game, in which elves are quite different from those in the D&D game. The reason elves in the D&D game don’t have a special ability with bows is game balance. Elves in the D&D game already have a lot of abilities, such as infravision, immunity to ghoul paralysis, and the ability to cast magic-user spells while wearing armor. Elves can also fight almost as well as fighters. This is quite enough to put them on a par with the other character classes. 
 376DR031 Dragon #31 A couple of friends and I are planning on taking over our DM’s island. So far our plan is working. Unfortunately, we have encountered some problems. What we want to know is how to spawn orcs? We need an army at the moment.  Orcs are mammals and therefore do not spawn. You will have to find some other way to raise your army. 
 377DR121 Dragon #121 Oriental Adventures : Do Oriental characters get experience for monetary treasure?  Oriental characters do get experience for monetary treasure, at the rate of 1 xp per 2 taels. 
 378DR122 Dragon #122 Oriental Adventures : What are the movement rates for Oriental watercraft? What are the movement rates for Oriental land vehicles?  Oriental watercraft have the same speeds as their western counterparts (see the Wilderness Survival Guide, page 44, Table 25). The same holds true for land vehicles — when they are available. Wheeled vehicles were rare in most of the ancient and medieval Far East and virtually nonexistent in Japan until the modern era arrived. 
 379DR076 Dragon #76 In the old Giants in the Earth column, some of the heroes were given a percentile score for every ability of 18, even those characteristics like intelligence and wisdom that have no percentile score given to them in the AD&D rules. Why was this done?  Originally such 18-percentile scores were given as a basis for comparison; so many of the heroes and heroines in that column had ability scores of 18 that it was thought there should be some way to further differentiate between (for instance) two characters who both have 18 intelligence. Such percentile values can be easily disregarded, since they have no function in the AD&D rules.
