Inspired in part by this thread, let’s have a D&D trivia contest! Well, not so much a contest, just us asking each other questions.
The rules are like most of the trivia things we do here. I start with a question, first to answer then posts a new question. Yes, this results in double replies, and people with wrong answers giving questions, but it’s the only way to really do it, so oh well. The catagories are anything, from the rules of the game (from original D&D up to the current 3.5), to the campaign worlds, to even the novels. Though I suspect if you ask some random question about an unpoopular Spelljammer novel (was there ever a popularSpelljammer novel?) you might not get an answer.
OK, I’ll start it off with something easy, so here goes:
What egomaniacal madman became a God after the Time of Troubles in the Forgotten Realms setting?
Longsword and Whip. Which, I might add, should incur a -4 two-weapon fighting penalty, since neither are light weapons.
True or False: By the RAW, a disentegrate spell can kill a troll.
In Unearthed Arcana, which of the Cavalier’s six character-abilities could have “exceptional” (percentile-dice-like) numbers after them as they progressed in level, e.g. “18/54”?
In D&D’s Immortal Ruleset, what special attack do prime material creatures from the 3rd, 4th, and 5th dimensions have on creatures from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd dimensions, and vice versa?
Since I went to the effort of doing the calculation, I’ll robertliguori’s question, but leave Captain Amazining’s out there. (Since I don’t know the answer.)
Under 3.5 rules, assuming a light-medium load, an undead light warhorse, moving all out, can cover just over 837 miles in a 24 hour period. A living light warhorse can cover about 279 without trouble, or a bit more than 558 if pushed, but that would, IMO, probably kill the horse.
And Cap, I was thinking of the first set. Although I AM well-versed enough in FR cosmology to know the difference, I blanked on it when I was writing the question.
A skeletal warhorse can run at 4x its base speed (60’), and can do so all day long. 240 feet per round is 2400 feet per minute, or 144,000 feet per hour, or 3,456,000 feet per day, and 3456000/5280 = 654.55 miles, by my calculations. Presumably, you were using an undead template other than skeleton, as you kept the Run feat .
The DC for the will save is the result of the cleric’s Diplomacy check, minus the orc’s level, minus an additional 4 if the half-orc will lose class abilities for changing alignment. The half-orc needs to fail seven saves in a row before he is converted.

Hah!
Here’s a nice one: How much was a Holy Avenger worth (in gp) in 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 edition?
