> Howdy all, > I have a few questions I never really quite figured out and was wondering if someone could help clear things up. I'll give it my best shot, someone will undoubtedly correct me if i'm wrong > 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? Yes, the lower the number, the better. > What is the difference between these two items: I believe Armor class is like adding it's negative to all of the slots. So the above example would be Pierce: 10, bash: 11, slash: 13, Magic: 8, as you pointed out below.. > and Wasn't aware of this fact. Where did you get this idea? > 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? From what I understand, +dam bonus is added after the damage rating is rolled. So the bonus is static while the rating is random. > 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? No idea. No Problem. > Humble Ex. Cas
> 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?
