Dec 13, 2004 13:56:20 I was wondering...how have people been handling the PCs carrying arounda 16 foot dragonlance? How is something like that even practical. How can the Dark Knights not know that they have it. I would think a dragonlance would be a very recognizeable item...especially when your attention is brought to it (which it would everytime you tried to go somewhere).

It just seems very unweildly and that it would cause no ends of trouble.

Thoughts?

Dec 13, 2004 21:04:19 Ever read the short story in The Dragons of Chaos, The Son of Huma? In that one, he had one of the original Dragonlances(presumably Huma's backup lance, no tthe one he used to wound Takhisis), but all the knights saw was an old, battered up lance. Maybe they can only diferentiat a True Dragonlance if it wants them to. Dragonlances are semi-intelligent, afterall.

Dec 13, 2004 22:25:11 Well, you should take into account that the lance seems to be a greater footman's dragonlance, not a greater mounted dragonlance. Hence it would only measure about 8'. This fits with the Jean Rabe books where the heroes wielded it while on foot.

Dec 14, 2004 9:58:44 Oh...good point.

So that would most likely make it the lance that was strapped to Gwynneth's saddle that Huma used at the end (after they crashed). Which would make it the same lance that Jacen mentions above, yes? (that certainly helps)

Any thoughts on whether or not it can shape change like the one in Land of the Minotaurs? (and not just appear old and battered?)

I think I'm going to add the extra power for it to change from a footman's to a mounted as a standard action. It does state that it may possess other powers in its write up.

I doubt it.

I'd strongly advise folks wrap the thing up in cloth and not look too suspicious, myself. Hauling the thing around is part of what makes life interesting for the characters in Spectre of Sorrow, anyway...

Cheers,
