> If an item is "identified" as Save vs. spell -3 is that good or bad? I assume a negative number means a bonus to your save? > and
Correct, negative=good.
> What is the difference between these two items:
> Pierce: 5 bash: 6 slash: 8 Magic: 3
> Affects Armor class -5
> Pierce: 10 bash: 11 Slash: 13 Magic 8 ?
> Does this have something to do with "about the body" is 3x for armor purposes?
The "Affects armor class" is added to each catecory after after multiplying (if any). I.e. the first body armor above would be 20 23 29 14 and the second 30 33 39 24.
> When a weapon is listed as having a certain + damage rating and an average damage for the weapon is listed, is that average already including the +dam bonus?
The dam modifier is not included in the average.
> If an object is classified as "Treasure" do you still have to hold or wear it to gain it's effects? What is the difference between "treasure" "trash" and the others anyway?
Dunno. It used to make a difference for Master's "brew".
