D&D Sunday morning quiz: Weapons!
DNDSMQ 03-03-08
The last quiz was waaaaaay too easy – with more than a dozen readers scoring over 100%. This week, the quiz strikes back!
All the answers are taken from the 3.5 core rulebooks. I’m a not responsible if you choose a wrong answer based on rules from Monster Manual 14: Prehistoric Invertebrates.
NOTE: Some e-mail clients aren’t able to submit your quiz answers to the website. If you’re reading this from an e-mail subscription you should head to Dungeon Mastering to take the quiz.

I have been thoroughly shamed and must now fall upon my sword….
There’s a catch with “golden” Because there are heavy weapons in FrCS that deal damage as a weapon one size bigger. Those a called Golden sometimes…
And my score was ninety-smth % Don’t remember (=

Astounding! Almost perfect! Your score is so good you should use it in a pickup line!”

One tiny issue with the “heaviest weapon” question–the spiked chain doesn’t show up in the answers list, but it’s tied for weight with the heaviest one. So both should be valid answers.

Consistency isn’t my strong point in this quizzes. I rolled an one on my knowledge check.
90/100
97% after randomosity.
And I have a correction to the quiz.
Heaviest Weapon has two correct answers. A Spiked Chain (included in the question, but not in the answers) is also 10 lbs.

Congratulations! You are quite knowledgeable! Do you even need a PHB when you create a character?.”
I was thrown by the last question for two reasons: one, I saw “golden” and applied to rules from Magic of Faerun, which bumps the damage up to 1d8 from 1d6; and two, I didn’t count the damage dealt to the monk, although having reread the question I now realize you never said “damage dealt to the dragon”, just “damage dealt”. You got me!
I’m was ok at at being a wizard, but you guys see what I’m good at

sorry about the mishaps. I didnt know about golden weapons and the spiked chain is indeed 10 lbs.

Not bad. I expected to do better, though. I forgot about reduction’s strength penalty, but I did get urgrosh and heavy flail. :)

When my halfling wielded his warmace, he dealt 1d10 base damage with the one-handed exotic weapon…I’m fairly certain that that is a heavier weapon if we proportion it with the others…
Though I don’t have my Complete Warrior in front of me…

More than perfect! Impressive! Aren’t you glad you gave up on your social life? Sorry I have a family no time for a social life.
Almost missed the Impossible ? thinking of unarmed attack first not the Nunchaku… And where is the Spiked Chain
The spiked chain is gone. It wasn’t meant to be there in the first place.
Hmm, I did a good job.

And saddily I still need the PHB to do character.
Looking it over I failed pretty baddily, but hey at least I got the “Gold is a softmetal!” bit! :D

Wow… That must hurt. It’s ok – I’m sure your parents still love you.
Shees! As a DM I hope my Players don’t see this. I can usually tell them where to find obscure rules without a thought. Maybe I need to switch to 4e.

I know I’m way late, but this contest was rigged. I don’t think that bludgeoning weapons can be vicious and an Urgrosh is and axe and a spear, so a made up word was a better answer I think; but I might just be in a surly mood today. Last night we played D&D and drank and cheered on our beloved Gary Gygax, we will miss him. I never got to shake his hand, do you think he would mind if we animated him?
Also penny arcade has a eulogy to him, check it out! Its sweet yet tacky!

Thanks for the link.
About the vicious weapons – I don’t remember seeing anything about the bludgeoning type in there.
About the urgrosh – maybe you’re right.
About your surly mood – well, the quiz trash-talks you if you don’t score well. I’m asking for it, really… And enjoying every second of it! :P

Hmmmm. . . Extra credit for being a psycho? Hey, I’ll take it. I think that was pretty good for not getting out the rule books.

Let the Record show that i have never in fact played any pen and paper RPG’s, let alone D+D, and again nevermind DMing…
i are teh master, finally my wasted life is rewarded.
i’ve been known to be the lexicon of the 3.5 weapon system, people ask me before they look it up in the books.
