Ok, basically, my group and I don't have all the rules actually down as well as we probably should(the guy that taught us how to play really only knew 2nd Ed, so he kinda fudged a lot of things, though, our group has learned a lot), we play, and have a good time, but usually, rule issues come up, and we just go off what makes sense, so I figured I would take it upon myself to figure out these few questions I have.
1 First, when rolling treasure, for monsters how do you go about rolling, say you fight three gnolls, do you roll once for each gnoll, or for the entire encounter?
2 How rare are magic items in your campaign?
3 How hard is it to get magical enchantments done, for instance, if someone has the money to get a plus 5 flaming holy longsword, how hard would that be to get done?
4 Do you abide by the GP limit in towns?
5 At higher levels, do spell casters get to cast two spells, as a fighter gets to attacks? (when a wizard/sorc has a +6/+1)
6 If you have full plate on, but your dex is say, 16, giving you a plus 3 bonus, do you get a reflex save bonus of plus 3 for the stat, or plus just plus 1 from the Full plate?
7 If a Dwarven Defender, had Dwarven Full Plate(DR 3/-), would his class damage reduction stack with his armor?
8 does there exist a better chart for the encounter levels setup than the one in the DMG, the whole thing confuses me, perhaps if someone could explain it in more simplistic terms? That would be great..
Any other common DM mistakes in 3.5e, do tell. Thanks!
