Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Each D&D character you create has ability scores that define attributes of your character. Which one of the following is NOT a standard ability score?

Answer: Comeliness

Wisdom, Constitution, and Charisma are three of the basic Ability Scores for D&D characters. Comeliness, or physical attractiveness, was a stat introduced in the 1st edition Unearthed Arcana rulebook but did not gain much popularity. It was dropped again starting with the 2nd edition.

2. Which of the following is present as a character class (not a kit) in each of the first four editions of D&D?

Answer: Cleric

The Rogue was called the Thief in 1st and 2nd edition. The Wizard was originally the Magic-User (1st), then became the Mage in 2nd, then the Wizard in 3rd. The Barbarian was not present in the 2nd edition except as a kit. Meanwhile, the humble Cleric has been a constant in the first four editions of D&D.

3. Which of these following game mechanics are present in all of the first four D&D editions?

Answer: Saving Throws

Darkvision, the ability to see in the dark, was introduced in 3rd edition, taking over for Infravision. Feats were also introduced in 3rd edition. THAC0 was dropped in 3rd edition with the revamping of the Armor Class system. Throughout, Saving Throws have been a constant mechanic, used when your character has a chance to avoid something detrimental (although changed slightly in 4th edition).

Answer: Chaotic Neutral

Chaotic Neutral was always the favorite alignment for my players to play, probably because it let them be amoral agents of chaos.

5. What would Dungeons and Dragons be without monsters? Which of the following monster types is the only one of the four to appear as written below in the first four editions?

Answer: Beholder

The Krenshar was created for 3rd edition to give more monsters with fear attacks, so it was not present in the first two editions.

The Lurker was called the Lurker Above in the 1st edition and was dropped in the 4th edition.

The Devil was called the Baatezu in the 2nd edition because TSR, then the publisher of D&D, wished to divorce itself from the Satanic associations in the press. So all references to devils and demons were dropped. Devils and demons came back in the 3rd edition.

The Beholder has been present since the 1st edition and is one of the signature monsters of AD&D, such that it is considered "Product Identity" by Wizards of the Coast and not released under its Open Game License.

Answer: Bag of Holding

Vorpal swords are available in all of the first four editions but no longer behead their opponents in 4th edition. Non-artifact maces could not have a +5 enchantment in 1st edition. Ritual scrolls only appear in 4th edition. Bags of holding are in all editions and allow a character to carry a lot more loot!

7. Which of the following D&D spells exists (under this name) in all of the first four editions?

Answer: Delayed Blast Fireball

The Silence 15 ft radius spell was renamed to Silence starting with the 3rd edition. Mage's Sword was known as Mordenkainen's Sword in earlier editions. Discern Lies was not present in that form in the first 2 editions.

8. Although the Dungeon Master can create his or her own adventures, pre-made adventures can be bought. What are these known as?

Answer: modules

Dungeons are places where players go for adventure. Supplements usually describe extra mechanics not defined in the core rulebooks. Campaigns are settings, not adventures. Modules are pre-made adventures that are lucrative sources of revenue for gaming publishers.

9. The dragon is one of the most fearsome monsters in D&D. Which dragon type is NOT present in all of the first four editions?

Answer: Bronze dragon

All these dragons existed in the first 3 editions, but the bronze dragon was replaced with the iron dragon in the 4th edition.

10. Under which of the following circumstances would the message "You just gained six hit points!" be most appropriate?

Answer: Your character gained a level of experience

Of the above four actions, the only action that usually results in a gain of hit points is gaining a level.
