Re: Questions raised in the Codex FAQ.
WEAPONS:
Q: Can you throw your sword like in the movies (maybe at a big negative)?
Q: Can you catch a thrown object. (Hostile gas bomb, hostile grenade, etc.)?
Q: Can you make a fine dagger? If so how about a fine Main Gauche?
// This question was in the enchanting area, maybe they meant enchant a dagger?
// Question does not make much sense to me.
SPELLS AND DISBELIEVING:
Q: Can you enchant a living being as a magic item?
// -- How about an elephant's tusk? Dead hair?
Q: What is the formula for the spells and potions in the back of AW?
Q: If someone disbelieves a multi-hex obstacle (an Illusion 7 hex fire say), does one hex vanish or the whole thing?
// -- If the whole thing, then what happens if there was a 7 hex fires, two 3 hex fires, and several one hex fires, all Illusions.
// Do we have to remember which was created when?
Q: If I cast an Open Tunnel on enemy but he makes the saving throw to jump away, I pay full fatigue cost, right?
Q: Will a Knock Spell open a really tough 9 die lock?
-- What happens when a Knock spell is cast while someone's picking the lock?
-- What happens when several wizards are casting Knocks at the same time?
Q: You have to stay within 15 hexes of a ward, but that seems very low and most spells have distances in Megahexes. Is this supposed to be 15 MH?
Q: Does Blast spell get thru armor and shields like Shock Shield does?
Q: Same question as above: how about the blast from hitting someone with a Staff or Staff of power?
Q: Drain ST: Can you drain energy and put it directly into a ST Battery? (Do you drain 5 fatigue energy and put it directly into the item, or must you drain 25 energy?)
Q: Can you Drain ST while you are in HTH?
Q: How can you avoid killing someone with Drain ST? How do you know when they will be killed by the spell so you can stop in time?
Q: Can the Staff Spell be cast on:
-- Quarter staff?
-- Bow?
-- Weapons all of wood?
-- Weapons like a crossbow, which is partly wood and partly metal?
Q: If a Staff spell is cast on a Quarter staff, what is the damage?
// Staff of Power?
Q: Can you cast a Hammer Touch into a...
-- Cestus?
-- A dagger (HTH only)?
-- Clubs?
-- Wooden weapons?
-- Wooden shields?
-- Wooden weapons only?
-- Weapons that are a mix of metal and wood?
Q: A rope spell can be cast on a bola (see AW 32). Can it be cast onto a net?
Q: A Charm: does it work before a critical is rolled, or after. (So if you roll a 16 (auto failure), does the charm fix it before the failure? Seems too powerful if before? Curses work the same way?
Q: Do charms work on one die rolls (going into HTH, reaction rolls, splash direction, etc.)
-- Do charms work on rolls the GM makes for me? (e.g. a roll to notice something.)
-- If so, think of an NPC reaction roll (whom I want to impress) made by the GM. Is this roll being "made for me"?
Q: If I have a +2 charm and roll a...
-- 4 which turns into a 2, do I do x4 damage?
-- 3 which turns into a 1, do I do x5 damage?
Q: Can a wish raise a Giant's IQ above 10. His DX above 10?
Q: What should a wish cost?
