Q 164 I'm reading up on an adventure module with vampires and vampire hunters in it, and the NPCs all have wooden stakes and silver coins, but no silver weapons. Now I know it says that they have DR 10/magic and silver, and under weaknesses it says that a wooden stake driven through their heart instantly slays a vampire, but how exactly does that work? Is there a damage listing for stakes? Is it like a dagger, but wooden? Is that the exception to the rule of their DR 10/silver and magic? Why don't wooden arrows have the same effect?
Q 165 Where can I find the variant rule where instead of instant death, you take 20d6?
