This passage is NOT about weapons. You are giving it the wrong context. This passage is about MAGIC. The advantage of fighting men is their ability to use...
The 1974 Men and Magic states on page 7 clerics "in that they have the use of magic armor and all non-edged magic weapons (no arrows!)," They were not intended...
The great thing about OD$D (and S&W) is you can make any house rule on the spot. I personally give clerics the "chosen" weapon of their gods. Most of the time...

... They were not intended to be fighters and have all the advantages. The cleric is powerful enough with magic and armor. The rules were always a starting...
It basically boils down to this... What feels good for your campaign? Perhaps there is only one Clerical order in your world that does not use edged weapons....
Hi, it's strange, but my reading of the passage gives the sense that the _only_ armour they are allowed is magical, and the_only_weapons allowed are magical,...
... So, like I stated...What feels good for your campaign? ... Exactly :) While I think I'll be handling this on a case by case basis, the average cleric will...

Not sure I would classify G as a magic-user in DnD terms - more of a Druid. Of course technically an Istari - whatever that comes out to. Sent via BlackBerry®...
Hi John, I wouldn't agree that the wording implies FM can _only_ use magical weapons, but I can agree to disagree. Would MU's then only be able to use...

... Y'all are killing me here. The wording of the original version was rather unclear, it's true, but the intent is clear enough when you look at AD&D; both...

It's funny how many accepted conventions are questionable when you read the books. How many OD&D players add 1d6 hit points when gaining a level, rather than...
Andy, You're thinking of Archbishop Turpin, one of the Twelve Peers (paladins). Sadly, for purposes of this discussion, Turpin is described in some places as...
No, not new ones - but the original ones collected as their own booklet - using the d20 SRD as the workaround to legally compile it, in the spirit of...
Of course (I hasten to add), the Song of Roland was not at all historically accurate--call it middle aged Christian propaganda. The poem tells of the Battle of...
That is an interesting way to read that passage on p.18, but I think that is taken out of context; I read that passage as the DM is creating a Superhero on the...

... Check out the rules for the clerics associated with Bandits in M&T. Perhaps you're trying to look at OD&D without bringing in assumptions from AD&D, but...
I put out 2 booklets for Swords & Wizardry which is pretty close to OD&D. I compiled the core-rules Magic user spells into one book and Cleric and druid...
... Check out the rules for the clerics associated with Bandits in M&T. ... Yeah, I've seen that reference. That note is in regards to *magical* weapons only....
Empty temples...ey good idea! No, I just leave "blank" temples for PC's who make up their own gods. ________________________________ From: "Kveldulf@..."...
