Sunday morning D&D quiz

SMDNDQ 01-20-08

I am very proud and happy to introduce the Sunday morning D&D quiz. There’s only 5 months left before the 4th edition of Dungeons & Dragons is published so all the DMs out there should be at their storytelling apex.

Here’s a concrete way to test your knowledge of the finer details of the game.

This week’s quiz

How much distance can a mule travel in 1 day?

  • 20 miles
  • 22 miles
  • 24 miles
  • The mule always refuses to move forward.

What’s the XP cost for creating a magic item?

  • 1/20 of magic item value
  • 1/25 of magic item value
  • 1/30 of magic item value
  • You can’t know the value of the item before it’s made.

Which skills gain a bonus from Acrobatics feat?

  • Jump and Climb
  • Jump and Tumble
  • Tumble and Climb
  • None. Nobody ever took that feat.

What’s the maximum spell level a bard can cast?

  • 5th level
  • 6th level
  • 7th level
  • 2nd level. Bards never survive for very long.

How long does it take a wizard to write a new spell in a spellbook?

  • 1 hour / spell level
  • 2 hours / spell level
  • 1 day
  • It’s instantaneous. Nobody uses that rule.

  • 10 feet
  • 15 feet
  • Touch
  • Less than my longbow

What the hell is a kukri?

  • A sword
  • A knife
  • A club
  • Sounds like a monk weapon but monks fight with their hands. As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t exist.

How many HP does a 3ft. thick wall of hewn stone have?

  • 80
  • 100
  • 140
  • 540

How great is Dungeon Mastering?

  1. Pal Mercy says:

    79%! I rule!

  2. Tommi says:

    73%. It’s been a while since I GM’d D&D and it shows.

  3. Johnnay says:

    I cannot beilieve i scored 24%. 24! What are the real answers anyway?

  4. Yax says:

    I think I’ll wait a day or two before posting the answers. All the questions were taken from the 3.5PHB so until then you can look them up.

  5. Maikl says:

    33%. All I can say is I have got a Polish rulebooks (so there are meteres and kilometers, not feets or miles) and I use D&D 3.0, not 3.5 :D

  6. Rannok says:

    80! I am embarrassed to know so many rules.

  7. Kane says:

    66%, not bad for a old DM that is just now getting 3.5 under his belt lol

  8. Sandrinnad says:

    95%?

    I always suspected D&D 3.5 made more sense if you hadn’t read the books…. thanks for confirming it!!

  9. Josh says:

    Woo! 102%! I knew it! D&D rules are so heavily ignored or house-ruled away that it’s impossible to ever know exactly what the hell is going on in a game even by reading the books. Haha!

  10. Pé0 says:

    71% take that you rulebook!!!

  11. Argokirby says:

    53% man I thought I was a DM Genious, I’m actually a tard. I wounder if Red Dragon Awesome was the right answer, I put that and I still only got a 53%, i think that Expy should give bonus points for sucking up.

  12. Yax says:

    red-dragon-awesome is the answer that’s worth the most points

  13. Idle Tuesday says:

    40%! I’m more of a first edition AD&D DM. sulk

  14. Argokirby says:

    With a little bit of wisdom I managed to score a 107% It helps to bribe the Red Dragon, hint hint!!

  15. Bert says:

    38%. That’s sucky.

  16. Saragon says:

    107%? Let’s hear it for good guesswork on the net question!

  17. Josh says:

    alright! On my second try I racked up a 122% score!

  18. Audaciousduck says:

    117% folks… and I’ve only just started DMing.

  19. Yax says:

    You guys rock! I didn’t expect anyone to score over 100%! Although my profiling tools allow for more-than-perfect results. I would have score only about 75% myself had I taken the test.

  20. Nice! Loving the new template, by the way!

  21. Hoss99 says:

    WOO HOO 81% the moral is if you don’t know it make it up :0)
