Hmmm...Baldur's Gate is based on D&D 3.0, as I recall. I guess you could just go with something from that, then.

Umm okay, I'll give it a go:

5) [In Baldur's Gate: II] You may, should you choose, to combine your given weapon or armor with runes and gems. This gives them special properties. In this instance, combining your dagger with a ruby will result in what combination?

A) Increased treasure drop: Target's death will result in 10% increased treasure drop.

B) +5 to amor class. Wearer of said weapon's armor class will increase by 5 points.

C) Vampiric: Target will bleed for 10 seconds on successful hit.


D) +10% destroy undead: Undead targets will be hit for 10% extra damage.

Hmm. If past games of similar sort are any indication, I'll hazard a guess with C) Vampiric.

LOL, and you'd be correct. I guess that makes it your turn again?

I suppose so. One of these days, GD is going to peek in here and get involved...I hope.

A) Vampire: The Masquerade
B) Wraith: The Oblivion
C) Hunter: The Reckoning
D) Mummy: The Resurrection
E) Changeling: The Dreaming

the answer is B) Wraith, you usually played your charcater, and one of the other players dark half (or Shadow)

my next question isn't multiple choice, but it's pretty easy.

in what game setting are you likely to come across psychics, dragons, cyborgs, wizards, demons, alien intelligences, and Nazi wanna bes?

You're quite familiar with Wraith, I see. Wraith's system has been called one of the most antagonistic game systems in existence, but as far as encouraging players to get to know each other's characters, I think it's quite possibly the best there ever was. Most players' involvement with each other's characters tends to go no further than "your fighter has the highest Armor Class, so you should take point" or "your mercenary has an M-60 and he can shoot straight, so we'll leave crowd control to you." But Wraith's Shadowguiding system encourages players to dig deeper than mere self-interest. "You watched your dog die in the house fire that destroyed your home when you were 5 years old, so that's why you're a pyrophobe now."

Of course, Shadows being Shadows, such knowledges would tend to be used in the course of tormenting each other's wraiths and messing with their heads like no one else could. But so it goes.

I'd like to host a Wraith table myself, if I can ever get out to one of those fancy conventions....

As for your querry, that sounds like the Palladium universe. Amirite?

Assuming that I was correct.... *sharply pokes SEAMUS in the butt*

Well, you don't have to worry about asking a question just yet.

The Kyriotates are indeed a Choir of angels, also known as the Dominations. In their celestial forms they appear as luminescent clouds riddled with any number of hands, eyes, mouths, angelic wings or similar features, and their gift is the ability to possess and control several subjects at once, during which time the subjects' souls (if any) wander the Marches in a dreamlike state and their bodies assume the strengths, skills and powers of the possessing Kyriotate. When the Apostles all started speaking in tongues during Jesus' ascent to Heaven, it is believed that they were indeed "filled with the Holy Spirit"--that being a very powerful Kyriotate.

Many a demon has been foiled by a Kyriotate jumping into whichever mortal the demon was attempting to victimize at the time, but Kyriotates can't just go around possessing people all willy-nilly; an unwilling subject may win a contest of wills and expel the Kyriotate, and Kyriotates can also rack up Dissonance--guiding them further from Heaven's grace and closer towards the Pit--if they ever leave a subject in worse shape than when the Kyriotate first took control. Many of Hell's Shedim--the Kyriotates' Infernal counterparts--were once Kyriotates who became too sloppy or careless with the mortals or objects in their care, leaving great harm, ruin or even death in their wakes.

I'll go ahead and scratch that one; feel free to take a shot at another question if you like, though I think I'll go ahead and retire that scimitar question as well....

4) [Dungeons & Dragons, Third Edition] The scimitar is a popular weapon among player-characters in both Dungeons & Dragons and its computer-game derivative, Neverwinter Nights. This popularity is largely due to:

B) The scimitar's broad Critical Hit range.

Scimitars and rapiers are the only Medium-size weapons which can land critical hits on natural attack rolls of 18-20; this is as large a range as any weapon can offer. Falchions and kukris also land threats in the 18-20 range, but falchions are Large and cumbersome weapons (preventing the use of a shield or a second weapon) while kukris are Exotic weapons (unavailable to most characters). Combined with Feats or magical abilities which can expand critical hit ranges even further (such as the Keen Edge spell), wielders of scimitars and rapiers can sometimes dish out strings of critical hits, compensating for the weapons' otherwise modest damage in short order.

*shrugs and kicks the thread again*


2) [In Nomine] Which of these is not a Choir of angels?

D) Calabim

Calabim are aptly called the Destroyers, and for good reason; with a little bit of concentration, a Calabite can damage, harm, destroy or kill anything in his or her presence. Though this is often limited to the crude disintegration of physical objects or creatures, service to certain Princes of Hell can refine the Calabim's unearthly capacity for destruction further; Calabim of Factions can destroy relationships between people in a similar manner, Calabim of Fire can destroy through what appears to be spontaneous combustion, and Calabim of Fate cause ruin through the infliction of rapid aging. But a Calabite's field of entropy is an erratic and unpredictable thing, and for this reason Vapula--the Prince of Technology--allows no Calabim among his ranks; a wanton and often unpredictable destroyer is the last thing he wants among his numerous delicate experiments....

(I still don't understand the parallels between Calabim and Ofanim--their Heavenly counterparts--either...so much that I went and cartoonified something about it. )

I'm going for (A).

it's "C" more permanent rage just means you're more angry and more prone to temporary loss of control via frenzy.

simple...

what was the original name of the Nightbane roleplaying game?

Aw, we don't get multiple choice with this one?

no cuz it's easy

It must be one of the most recent ones. East Texas doesn't have a lot of game shops, unfortunately.

Just from the title, though...nah, I got nothin'. Somebody else can take a shot.
