Can a hero sell swords and armor he picked up from Orcs and other monsters?
• A: As clarified on p. 54 of Terror in the Dark, no. Equipment found on Orcs and other monsters is useless. The weight is off, the items are in lousy condition, and nobody will buy something that has been tainted by Chaos! The one exception is that of Bows and Arrows. Short Bows, Long Bows and Crossbows taken from monsters can be used by Heroes or their Henchmen, but aren’t quite as good. 1 damage dice must be subtracted from the usual damage rolls when using these inferior weapons. “If the Heroes find equipment taken from humans (or Dwarfs, Elves, etc.), then this can be used normally and arrows fired from Bows will inflict normal damage. …” • Q: Are there any errors in the Monster Reference Tables? • A: Yes, and the corrections follow (as given in Terror in the Dark and other supplemental articles): • FIMIR: The Fimir is a Large Monster. • DAEMONETTE: The Daemonette casts Fireball, not Flaming Skull of Terror. • OGRE CHIEFTAIN: This should be a Large Monster and Fearsome Monster.
