    I took the weapon finesse feat for my halfling rogue. Crafted a magic rapier +3 frost and shock but have found that she can't use it as a finesse weapon. Different rule than PnP. Ditched that idea. It seems a dagger is her only option. Tried a light mace, which is a simple light weapon, but that doesn't seem to work.
    I used the Light Mace of Smiting, so I might see if a different light mace will work.

    But it seems I can only make an amulet of natural armor +3, whereas barkskin is +4 from a 9th level Druid. Stock up on scrolls.

    IIRC weapon finesse only works on certain weapon types, and the weapon size must be one size smaller than the largest size possible for your character to wield - EG a small rapier would be finesse-able for your Halfling, whereas the regular medium sized rapier is finesse-able for medium sized characters.

    Using an oversized weapon for your race makes the weapon too unwieldy to apply finesse to it as you need to use two hands to hold it.

    Shortswords are also finesse-able for small characters.

    A halfling is a small creature, you would have to use a tiny rapier in order to use weapon finess. If she uses a weapon two handed it's a good way of knowing she can't finess it. ;)

    Gah! Ninja'd. :p

    Of course, that's why there are small weapons in Brother Smyth's inventory. Thanks.
    It seems my halfling can use a normal dagger with weapon finesse. What has the best critical range on a small weapon and is masterwork?

    When in doubt, check the www.d20srd.org and cross reference your description.mes file to make sure it's included in the game.

    Cheers.
    Another thing I can't further enchant Elmo's shield. It must be +3 already.

    You can check by comparing your AC with and without it, other reasons for being unable to craft include insufficient cash and/or unused XP.

    OK.
    Just had to my do second restart fighting the cleric-Mage, priest and their bugbears on dungeon level four. The game froze up. It happened as I used a hotkey for my wizard to cast a scroll. Not sure if that triggered it but it was on my wizard's turn both times.
    Try again...

    Sorry, late to the party.

    @Daryk - it's why I always have someone with a Charm Person (or 2) in the party. In my games that guys kills his friends then bravely sacrifices himself while we nail Lubash.

    Ah, I just stand out of Lubash's reach and shoot him until he stops moving... ;) I don't usually have a spell caster by that point, so it's straight ultraviolence for me...

    Ultraviolence is how my half Orc fighter goes in. Buffed by everyone. Enlarge is such a great spell. Gives him reach and more damage. Lower armour class but with greater cleave he can just step around and destroy anyone in the vicinity.
    It seems I could just get a reach weapon, especially as reach seems to be broken in the game but I'm attached to Fragarach.
