DF2 - Debasing coin and the consequences of failure

[Bruno]

My players are obviously meant for a DF game.

The first question I heard from one of my players this saturday was "If I get caught debasing coin and the Kings men stick my hand in molten silver... do I get to keep the silver? How much is it worth?"

Somehow, I doubt that if you get your hand dipped in molten silver, you'll end up with a silver-plated hand. More like a silver-specked scorched stump.

But, yeah, your players seem made for Dungeon-delving.

ROFL....that made me laugh. ::)

Some of my favorite questions from WOTC's "Ask Wizards" column. Feel free to cast these into "You might be a Dungeon Fantasy crawler if..." form.

Gilbert asks: It states in the Player's Handbook that a monk's fists can do up to 2d8 damage. Can one dismember the fists and use them as improvised weapons for the same damage?

Kyle asks: How much damage can a vorpal longbow do?

Tom asks: Do the rules for drowning apply if the PC is submerged in a tank of healing potion without access to air?

Joe asks: Can a water elemental surround a vampire and prevent it from moving?

Morgan asks: I have a unicorn with class levels in paladin. Since a unicorn is already equine, what should I do with its ability to gain a paladin's mount? Would it be a horse/etc., that simply follows him around?

Devin asks: Let's say my master of many forms PC turns into an ooze. My PC is then hit by a slashing or electricity attack [which makes an ooze divide into two oozes]. What happens? Do I now have two characters?

Alex asks: Can I hire several hundred 1st-level mages, keep them inside multiple bags of holding (with bottles of air, of course) and use them as participants in a ritual spell?

Joey asks: I have a campaign that is extremely epic, and I have been looking everywhere for this but can't find the answer. What would be the break DC of a planet?

Let them keep the silvered stump if they pay off the King's men. I'd say it's the equivalent of brass knuckles with the "silver" weapon option . . . lessee, that's $30 for a silver-coated stump, or $200 to go "Norse god" and get the whole silver hand. It won't work as a hand, they'll still be crippled, but it'll be useful for slugging werewolves upside the head.

Tyr really deserved it more, I think :/

It was the King Nuada.

Týr and Nuada both have silver hands in certain tellings, not in others. But theirs would be cooler, and not just $300 lumps of silver. ;)

That is interesting, thanks.

PD: I would be thankful to anyone showing some reference about this. PM if you want.
