Two year old thread bro.

Didn't feel like making a new thread when a perfectly good thread about the same topic already existed (plus I wasn't sure whether or not there were rules on the forums regarding necro'ing), but since there are, I apologize.

Still the fact that this is an old thread doesn't negate my question.

So... you wouldn't let a Human Oracle with the Lame Curse (starting Base Speed 20 feet) take the Fleet Feet for +5 Feet added to Speed for a total of 25, and a few levels in Barbarian for an addition of 10 feet (which would let them take Rage Prophet if they were so inclined) putting the Lame Oracle's movement rate up to 35 feet (which is higher than most other humans). Simply because you believe that an Oracle has to live with their curse?

That Oracle's speed is still penalized by 10.

I am pretty confident now that getting ammunition from a quiver or bullet sack does not count as retrieving a stored item as retrieving ammunition is a free action. I am also more or less confident that if you place an item down as a move action or slower that it does not count as dropping the item since the rules clearly define dropping an item as letting go of an item as a free action.

But what I am wondering is how does the Haunted Curse react in particular towards Ammunition fired from a Crossbow or a Sling or which is thrown like a spear or dagger?

Just like, as you say, specifically putting down an item isn't a free action, and therefore doesn't count as dropping the item, thrown weapons and fired ammunition aren't free actions that count as dropping items either.


if your whole argument is the weapon cord cant prevent the dropped wand or weapon from flying 10 feet because that too easily circumvents the curse------the same could be said for disarming.

if someone spends a whole action disarming you--it is too easy for a weapon cord to trivialize this. Instead of a standard action and AOO to pick up your weapon--just a move action to retrieve.

That is just as much of a bogus get around.

the weapon cord is only allowing one item to be corded---the curse would still apply to every other item. As well as the haunting sounds making it impossible to sneak. so no the weapon cord does NOT negate the whole curse any more than it negates disarm.
