Q: What is the best way to poison someone? Be specific.
--Christine

A: We took this question to some of our best and brightest minds in R&D.

Unfortunately, they were too busy discussing which 80s TV show they'd remake if they were King of Hollywood. So here are the answers we ended up with:

The obvious method:
By using a poisonous substance.
--Stacy Longstreet, RPG Art Director

The rules-lawyer method:
Charm person the target, hand him a bag of daggers and a jar of poison. Ask him to apply the poison to each dagger. Eventually, he will roll that 5% chance and accidentally poison himself.
--Logan Bonner, RPG Editor

The high-school-angsty method:
Tell someone that you love them, but you’re not in love with them.
--David Noonan, RPG Designer

And finally, the cynical method:
The best way to poison someone is also the best way to do most other things: profit from it. To do that, you need a poison that’s weak, fun, and addictive. That way you can hook the victim with the addictive fun, and they won’t die off too fast. Tobacco and alcohol both fit this bill.
--Jonathan Tweet, Senior Game Designer

被charm的人会做有可能伤害自己的事情么……

如果他是知道这点，我想他是不会做的吧。

比如让从来没有上过毒但知道厉害的家伙来做，估计不肯。

让什么都不懂的人来或许倒有可能。

如果让一个盗贼做，可能性还真难说……

Q: Is there anyone or anything in the Forgotten Realms that is more powerful than, has tried to defeat, or desires to defeat Elminster?
--Jack

A: Many forces and beings in the Realms are more powerful than Elminster. All of the gods and many of their servants (for example: in pure spellhurling power, The Simbul, Elminster's lover and fellow Chosen, outstrips the Old Mage).

继续喷...12345难道是妻管严......

不时有人说过可以Charm Person后，给目标生物一瓶剧毒，然后说：

“尝尝这个果汁吧，这是大哥哥家乡的特产，最好喝了……”

这个行为在目标生物眼中完全无害呀！

Q: I have a question about earth elementals. Nowhere in any description does it say that earth elementals have tremorsense, or any other ability for that matter, that lets them detect their surroundings without vision. My question is then how do earth elementals navigate around the using their earth glide ability, especially on the Elemental Plane of Earth, if they have no discernible way to navigate?
--Ryan

A: This is a very good question, and certainly a mystery for our time. I’d rather like to think that they wander through the morass of their own plane like so many blind fish swimming in a pond. However, since we’ve no way to tell, and the earth elementals simply aren’t talking, it is nearly impossible to say.
--Chris Lindsay

其实有时候这些问题还是很有建设意义的...

Q: Trivia time: D&D's monks were once part of what monastic order?

Answer:

According to the old D&DSupplment II: Blackmoor, which featured an early version of the monk, the class was fully listed as: "Monks (Order of Monastic Martial Arts), a sub-class of Clerics which also combines the general attributes of Thief and Fighting Man."

然后看到这里我惊了......

[xiezhenggang]

看不太懂。是说MONK本来是CLR的亚种并介于贼和战士之间吗？

[donkey]

这些不是很新的吧？

[aland]

to 谢老:差不多就是这个意思...不过不是介于之间,而是作为牧师亚种的同时还顺便兼有贼和战的特点......
to 团长:我火星而已......

[coldleaf]

"Monks (Order of Monastic Martial Arts), a sub-class of Clerics which also combines the general attributes of Thief and Fighting Man."


我认为比较合适的翻译是：Monk是Cleric的一个亚种，这个亚种兼有贼和战士的特性。

To Aland : “而是作为牧师亚种的同时还顺便兼有贼和战的特点......”，貌似把“兼有贼和战的特点”和“牧师亚种”分离了。
