<div>Hello Maramusine, thank you for the welcome to the site! My only question is now, is if there is someone or some group I would contact for review on the power balancing of something I've been working on ( while it is either a WIP, or completed work ).--[[User:Elendra|Elendra]] ([[User talk:Elendra|talk]]) 09:32, 18 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
If you're my best bet, might as well use you, eh? I don't suppose you could take a look at [[Color Bearer (4e Class)]] and [[Color Bearer Powers (4e Power List)]]? I assume they're at ''least'' somewhat poorly balanced, being my first attempt at making a class. And yes, they are both incomplete, but I did just start a couple days ago <_<;; --[[User:Elendra|Elendra]] ([[User talk:Elendra|talk]]) 09:42, 18 July 2012 (MDT)<br />

Hay, Marasmusine, could you review my homebrew template [[Unown_inscribed|Unown inscribed]] sometime?

== A thanks ===<br />
Hey, it's Ralcos.<br />
It's been a while since I've been here, but I must say thanks for you editing my race.<br />
I made the Modron Race that was on the 4e homebrew races, and found that my race was changed for the better<br />
(I'm not claiming credit for anyone else's work, and you can look on that page's history).<br />
I just wanted to thank you for the work. I love it more than the original design.<br />

== Smilodon Maioribus Review ==<br />
<br />
Hello once again Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
It has been a while since we have spoken but I believe (having reached my new permanent duty station) that now would be an excellent time to review the Smilodon Maioribus 4e Race once again, provided you are willing to do so and have the time to make such an effort. Unfortunately I am not entirely sure what, if at all, needs to be changed at this point with the race itself (the Apex Predator 4e Class itself I am intending to overhaul entirely, based on a few mechanics I learned from others who know of DnD in the armed forces).<br />
<br />
As always, thank you for your time and dedication to DnD Wiki, and your efforts, past and present, in staying in touch and assisting me with my race and class design!<br />
<br />
--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] ([[User talk:Argent Fatalis|talk]]) 18:43, 9 August 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Welcome back! Since you were last here I've been a bit distracted with the birth of my daughter - I've not had much time for complicated things. For your Apex Predator overhaul, I recommend concentrating on one or two core mechanics that improve through the levels (and worry less about making lots of different powers); take a look at the Hunter or the Slayer from the Essentials books. Also try to focus on ''one role'' - I've seen too many custom classes that try to do defender/striker and end up in a mess. Hope that helps! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 07:18, 10 August 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Thank you, Marasmusine, and most importantly, congratulations on the birth of your daughter to both you and your wife. I can certainly understand your crunch for time, especially with a newly born child around. For the Apex Predator class, that is still my intention of making a "specialist" class (with two separate, distinct sub-types), again focusing on criticals, grappling and stealth for its offensive "Vanquisher" variant, and with the "Challenger" deviation, a defender who relies on countering attacks and control. Seeing as the "Grabbed" and (knocked) "Prone" features work well, I have some ideas with them. I certainly don't intend for the Apex to be both, as I've begun making their choices fairly specific to each archetype.<br />
<br />
::--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] ([[User talk:Argent Fatalis|talk]]) 17:34, 11 August 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Hello again Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
:::I've made some significant changes to the [[Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Smilodon Maioribus race]] and the [[Apex Predator (4e Class)|Apex Predator class]], both of which I would love to get your opinion on when you have the time. I've tried to heavily relegate certain features to each subdivision of the Apex Predator class (to, in large part, make them two distinct portions). While the class design is not yet finished, it would be great to get your opinion on the re-working of a few mechanics that were present; for example, a primary mechanic of the Vanquisher is [[Seize (4e Power)|Seize], an attack that does minimal damage, but Grabs the opponent. <br />
<br />
:::Other issues lie in the scaling (I've never played nor seen endgame DnD played), so I cannot truly balance the class over the levels. I like the idea of the Apex Predator fittingly being a "niche" class, or one that excels extremely well at a few select things, but relies on its companion's classes to really augment and benefit it, and vice-versa.<br />
<br />

<br />
::::I have just replied the design concept to the Saber Fangs and Razored Claws situation [Talk:Apex Predator (4e Class)|on this talk page] and would certainly like your opinion and possible solutions.

== Image Deletions ==<br />
<br />
Wikipedia tells us to assume good faith. This means that images are assumed to be correct, ergo under the GNU FDL, when they state nothing in particular. This must be shown otherwise to allow the image to be deleted. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] ([[User talk:Green Dragon|talk]]) 16:03, 10 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Wikipedia absolutely does not assume good faith when it comes to image licensing. It gives 7 days to images without licensing/source information before they are deleted. Images that are clear copyright violations are instantly deleted. I gave [[:File:Fight-2-color.jpg]] two weeks. We can't just copy images from the internet willy nilly. I've done a Google Image search for this image now and found that it's a painting under copyright by Simon Robert. I can replace the link in [[Shekastkoré (3.5e Campaign Setting)]] with an embedded image from Robert's webpage, with correct attribution. I'll leave it up to you if you want to delete the file or not. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 02:06, 11 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
:Wow, sorry I came off sounding agressive. It was first thing in the morning and I hadn't had my coffee.[[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 06:11, 11 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Okay, then with the deletion we should provide a link to where the image is thereby not allowed, don't you think that makes sense? Thoughts on making this policy? We can leave images since their pages being here inherently state that they are under the GNU FDL v1.3 when one cannot find such a site. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] ([[User talk:Green Dragon|talk]]) 09:35, 16 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
:::Here are my thoughts:<br />
:::*We should make it clear that if you are uploading an image you need to say 1) Where you got the image from and who originally created it, and 2) What license it's under (note that ''we cannot use "fair use"'' for our purposes). For example, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload Wikipedia's upload information]. It's bad form to assume that an image doesn't have a copyright just because the uploader hasn't provided any information.<br />
:::*On the flipside, if I come to delete an image file because the above information is missing, I will make every effort to find an alternative compatible with our license, or embed the image from its original source. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 03:47, 17 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::By law, we do not need to do it like that so let's not. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] ([[User talk:Green Dragon|talk]]) 19:39, 17 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
:::::I need to get this straight. Here are the different kind of images we might use:<br />
:::::*Copyrighted images. We cannot use these without permission. If we can get permission, the owner would normally ask us to attribute the them and show that it's under copyright. We ''can'' use copyright work without permission where there is fair-use (e.g. book covers where we are providing information about a book), but we still need to attribute the copyright holder.<br />
:::::*Creative Commons[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/]. We ''have'' to attribute the author; if it's Sharealike we ''have'' to release it under the same license.<br />
:::::*Public Domain. We don't have to say anything: my argument is that it's good practice to provide some basic information (like I did [[:File:Vasnetsov samolet.jpg|here]]). <br />
:::::*Images the uploader created themselves. It's up to them what information they provide. Personally I credit myself for my own images. As you say, unless stated otherwise, it defaults to the GNU license.<br />
:::::If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to ''assume'' that images fall into the last two categories?<br />
<br />
::::::No. All I was saying is that the last two categorizes exist. If we find information about copyright we should delete the page with a link to the copyright location (for verification purposes). If the images is under a different license then, though, all we need to do is state that on that page of course and if we can keep the image we can keep the image (depending on the license).<br />
::::::Another thing to note is that images which are product copyright can be here if they are small enough (pretty sure). I think that is another one of their image statements in the image-related laws. If they are too big, though, they are considered (even with the different copyright categories) to infringe on product copyright (since they are images I think is the reasoning). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] ([[User talk:Green Dragon|talk]]) 20:06, 18 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
:::::::Thanks for the clarification. With regards product copyright, here's the legal wording for fair-use: ''"the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright."''<br />
:::::::Basically, we ''can'' use those images when we are providing educational information. On our wiki, this only our pages about books and other publications. We ''cannot'' use them for user-generated content. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 01:27, 19 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::I imagine that putting them into the D&D universe is a critique of those things from other sources and do apply for fair-use. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] ([[User talk:Green Dragon|talk]]) 16:42, 19 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
:::::::::I don't understand? Fair use through ''critique'' just means you can, say, use a picture of a book or toy if you are reviewing it. It has real-world context. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 01:35, 20 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
:::::::::On a related note, I've spotted that WotC provide a list of WotC-copyright artwork that's been pre-approved for others to use.[http://www.wizards.com/fankit/fantoolkitdnd.html] [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 01:38, 20 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::Not sure if my voice matters here, but I figure, if nothing else, it couldn't really hurt to speak up. Marasmusine is correct. Unless the purpose of the article within said images are used, is to critique the image, make a commentary on it, or otherwise review or parody it, then it does not fall under fair use. There are likely very few user generated articles and pages on this site that are dedicated to parody and review, for a commentary / educational stance. Now, for the handful wherein that IS true, than fair use would apply, but for those, such as a custom race, class, monster, campaign, that isn't actively done to review the image in some way, that isn't fair use, and permission / approval would be needed. If I were to take someone's image and put it up on a page I made, without their permission, and the image was used as an aid to help demonstrate something I had written in the page, that would be theft, unless they had otherwise stated that that image is perfectly allowed to be shared mercilessly without permission, but even then that would be limited to noncommercial things. Not that that should be a worry here. That said, the 'April Fools' articles may fall under being able to qualify 'fair use' if they are directly relevant to the image. --[[User:Elendra|Elendra]] ([[User talk:Elendra|talk]]) 09:08, 20 July 2012 (MDT)<br />

You had deleted a page I had posted due to a copy rights violation.

:We can't reprint content from copyrighted books. The only legal thing you can do is send them your book or ask them to aquire the book themselves.

I was interested in making a deity and wanted to actually make the stats. However I can't find the formula to use... I know that they are normally a 20HD outsider that have 30-50 Class levels.

== Traps ([[User:jerden|jerden]] asking) ==<br />
<br />
I was just wondering if there was a way to change the title of my traps that still don't have (4e Trap) on them. I could copy them to new pages with (4e trap) on, but that won't really help anyone as it still will have the old ones. If it's something I can't do I'm sorry, in future I'll remember to add (4e Trap) to my (4e Trap)s! Anyway, I reacon I've wrote it enough time to remember now!<br />
:Hi Jerden, you can use the "Move" tab at the top of the screen. Also you can sign your posts using four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). Thanks again for your contributions - converting the 3.5e DMG traps to 4e was on the back burner of my to-do list. You may also like to look at some of the changes I made to your entries for formatting standards, etc. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 01:48, 8 September 2012 (MDT)<br />
:Thanks. I'll sort them out. Anyway, I apprieciate your changes, I was actually hoping someone would do that. And I haven't really done that many of the 3.5 edition traps, I mostly just converted spells into traps (it's much easier).

== Sand Elemental Page Deletion ==<br />
<br />
In reguards to the [[Sand Elemental]] page, I was trying to do the same set up as the SRD Elementals. Was this in error doing this set-up or was it just a waist for time? --[[User:Korminor|Korminor]] ([[User talk:Korminor|talk]]) 15:18, 25 September 2012 (MDT)<br />
:Hi Korminor, actually your original formatting was fine. But I'm aiming to have the sand elementals formatted in the same way as what I've done to [[Chaos Elemental, Lesser (3.5e Creature)]] and [[Chaos Elemental, Greater (3.5e Creature)]]. The reason for this is that I've made a new index of creatures at [[User Creatures]], but the table gets screwed up if there's more than one creature template in a page. The creature template itself can display 3 creatures, so that's a maximum of 3 creatures per page - hence me splitting the creatures into "Lesser" and "Greater" pages. It's not ideal - I'd rather have them all on one page - but it's the only fix I can think of to make the index work.<br />
:What I can do, if you think it's appropriate, is keep [[Sand Elemental]] as an overview page, so long as it doesn't contain a creature template. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 15:36, 25 September 2012 (MDT)<br />

==Billhook Revert==<br />
Hi, we've not really met. I'm Badger, and I'm an admin who has been away for a while. Either way, we can chat more about that later, if you'd like. This message is to explain why I reverted your edits to [[Billhook_(3.5e_Equipment)|the billhook]]. The page that existed before you changed it was essentially a complete page, with mechanics and a concept. Maybe the concept needs work, and the balance sure needs some attention, but it was at least a fully fleshed out idea. Your edits reduced it to little more than a re-direct. If you are going to fundamentally change a page like you did, you might as well delete it entirely, and just redirect other pages away from it. I'm open to discussion on this point, but my understanding is that we don't try to serve as an encyclopedia, but rather as a reserve of actual content. To clarify that point, any article we have should have in-game mechanics, and not simply redirect a user to another page. Let me know how you feel about this, and I look forward to working with you in the future. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] ([[User talk:Badger|talk]]) 11:57, 5 October 2012 (MDT)<br />

== Hobbit vs. Halfling ==<br />
<br />
I'm aware that WotC uses the term Halfling to fill in for what is most assuredly a Hobbit. I was wondering if you know of any legal reason that would force this, or if we are free to use the term Hobbit without permission from the Tolkien Estate. I guess I'm just trying to stay out of trouble, but at the same time vastly prefer to use Hobbit. In the same line of thinking, we can use Orc even though Tolkien made that one up as well... --[[User:Pyper|Pyper]] 23oct12<br />
:Whilst the Tolkien Estate aggressively protect their trademark over the word "hobbit", I've only seen it happen in the cases where products are being sold.

On some pages you have been removing [[:Category:DnD]].

Unless I am missing something, please keep Category:DnD on all D&D pages. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] ([[User talk:Green Dragon|talk]]) 13:19, 25 October 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Since the "4e" and "3.5e" categories are sub-categories of "DnD", it seemed to me that having both was redundant. I can't see any crossovers with "D20M", it is still separate.

== Smilodon Maioribus Review ==<br />
<br />
Hello once again Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
It has been a while since we have spoken but I believe (having reached my new permanent duty station) that now would be an excellent time to review the Smilodon Maioribus 4e Race once again, provided you are willing to do so and have the time to make such an effort. Unfortunately I am not entirely sure what, if at all, needs to be changed at this point with the race itself (the Apex Predator 4e Class itself I am intending to overhaul entirely, based on a few mechanics I learned from others who know of DnD in the armed forces).<br />
<br />
As always, thank you for your time and dedication to DnD Wiki, and your efforts, past and present, in staying in touch and assisting me with my race and class design!<br />
<br />
--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] ([[User talk:Argent Fatalis|talk]]) 18:43, 9 August 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Welcome back! Since you were last here I've been a bit distracted with the birth of my daughter - I've not had much time for complicated things. For your Apex Predator overhaul, I recommend concentrating on one or two core mechanics that improve through the levels (and worry less about making lots of different powers); take a look at the Hunter or the Slayer from the Essentials books. Also try to focus on ''one role'' - I've seen too many custom classes that try to do defender/striker and end up in a mess. Hope that helps! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 07:18, 10 August 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Thank you, Marasmusine, and most importantly, congratulations on the birth of your daughter to both you and your wife. I can certainly understand your crunch for time, especially with a newly born child around. For the Apex Predator class, that is still my intention of making a "specialist" class (with two separate, distinct sub-types), again focusing on criticals, grappling and stealth for its offensive "Vanquisher" variant, and with the "Challenger" deviation, a defender who relies on countering attacks and control. Seeing as the "Grabbed" and (knocked) "Prone" features work well, I have some ideas with them. I certainly don't intend for the Apex to be both, as I've begun making their choices fairly specific to each archetype.<br />
<br />
::--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] ([[User talk:Argent Fatalis|talk]]) 17:34, 11 August 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Hello again Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
:::I've made some significant changes to the [[Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Smilodon Maioribus race]] and the [[Apex Predator (4e Class)|Apex Predator class]], both of which I would love to get your opinion on when you have the time. I've tried to heavily relegate certain features to each subdivision of the Apex Predator class (to, in large part, make them two distinct portions). While the class design is not yet finished, it would be great to get your opinion on the re-working of a few mechanics that were present; for example, a primary mechanic of the Vanquisher is [[Seize (4e Power)|Seize], an attack that does minimal damage, but Grabs the opponent. <br />
<br />
:::Other issues lie in the scaling (I've never played nor seen endgame DnD played), so I cannot truly balance the class over the levels. I like the idea of the Apex Predator fittingly being a "niche" class, or one that excels extremely well at a few select things, but relies on its companion's classes to really augment and benefit it, and vice-versa.<br />

:Wikipedia absolutely does not assume good faith when it comes to image licensing. It gives 7 days to images without licensing/source information before they are deleted. Images that are clear copyright violations are instantly deleted. I gave [[:File:Fight-2-color.jpg]] two weeks. We can't just copy images from the internet willy nilly.

:::Here are my thoughts:<br />
:::*We should make it clear that if you are uploading an image you need to say 1) Where you got the image from and who originally created it, and 2) What license it's under (note that ''we cannot use "fair use"'' for our purposes). For example, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload Wikipedia's upload information]. It's bad form to assume that an image doesn't have a copyright just because the uploader hasn't provided any information.<br />
:::*On the flipside, if I come to delete an image file because the above information is missing, I will make every effort to find an alternative compatible with our license, or embed the image from its original source.

::::By law, we do not need to do it like that so let's not. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] ([[User talk:Green Dragon|talk]]) 19:39, 17 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
:::::I need to get this straight. Here are the different kind of images we might use:<br />
:::::*Copyrighted images. We cannot use these without permission. If we can get permission, the owner would normally ask us to attribute the them and show that it's under copyright. We ''can'' use copyright work without permission where there is fair-use (e.g. book covers where we are providing information about a book), but we still need to attribute the copyright holder.<br />
:::::*Creative Commons[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/]. We ''have'' to attribute the author; if it's Sharealike we ''have'' to release it under the same license.<br />
:::::*Public Domain. We don't have to say anything: my argument is that it's good practice to provide some basic information (like I did [[:File:Vasnetsov samolet.jpg|here]]). <br />
:::::*Images the uploader created themselves. It's up to them what information they provide. Personally I credit myself for my own images. As you say, unless stated otherwise, it defaults to the GNU license.<br />
:::::If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to ''assume'' that images fall into the last two categories?<br />
<br />
::::::No. All I was saying is that the last two categorizes exist. If we find information about copyright we should delete the page with a link to the copyright location (for verification purposes). If the images is under a different license then, though, all we need to do is state that on that page of course and if we can keep the image we can keep the image (depending on the license).<br />
::::::Another thing to note is that images which are product copyright can be here if they are small enough (pretty sure). I think that is another one of their image statements in the image-related laws. If they are too big, though, they are considered (even with the different copyright categories) to infringe on product copyright (since they are images I think is the reasoning). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] ([[User talk:Green Dragon|talk]]) 20:06, 18 July 2012 (MDT)<br />

With regards product copyright, here's the legal wording for fair-use: ''"the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright."''<br />

::::::::::Not sure if my voice matters here, but I figure, if nothing else, it couldn't really hurt to speak up. Marasmusine is correct. Unless the purpose of the article within said images are used, is to critique the image, make a commentary on it, or otherwise review or parody it, then it does not fall under fair use. There are likely very few user generated articles and pages on this site that are dedicated to parody and review, for a commentary / educational stance. Now, for the handful wherein that IS true, than fair use would apply, but for those, such as a custom race, class, monster, campaign, that isn't actively done to review the image in some way, that isn't fair use, and permission / approval would be needed. If I were to take someone's image and put it up on a page I made, without their permission, and the image was used as an aid to help demonstrate something I had written in the page, that would be theft, unless they had otherwise stated that that image is perfectly allowed to be shared mercilessly without permission, but even then that would be limited to noncommercial things. Not that that should be a worry here. That said, the 'April Fools' articles may fall under being able to qualify 'fair use' if they are directly relevant to the image. --[[User:Elendra|Elendra]] ([[User talk:Elendra|talk]]) 09:08, 20 July 2012 (MDT)<br />

== Deity Stats ==<br />
<br />
I was interested in making a deity and wanted to actually make the stats. However I can't find the formula to use... I know that they are normally a 20HD outsider that have 30-50 Class levels. By that they should be a CR 40-60 depending on just that... But are there any other factors? Also Do they use the 15,14,13,12,10,8 Elite stat array?<br />
<br />
--[[User:Korminor|Korminor]] ([[User talk:Korminor|talk]]) 20:51, 10 August 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:About 5 years ago I sat down to create a 3.5e deity and discovered the same issue - no guideline on how to set the ability scores. However, if you are giving your deity PC class levels, it should the elite stat array; if it only has NPC class levels, use the nonelite array. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 08:06, 11 August 2012 (MDT)<br />

== Traps ([[User:jerden|jerden]] asking) ==<br />
<br />
I was just wondering if there was a way to change the title of my traps that still don't have (4e Trap) on them. I could copy them to new pages with (4e trap) on, but that won't really help anyone as it still will have the old ones. If it's something I can't do I'm sorry, in future I'll remember to add (4e Trap) to my (4e Trap)s! Anyway, I reacon I've wrote it enough time to remember now!<br />
:Hi Jerden, you can use the "Move" tab at the top of the screen. Also you can sign your posts using four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). Thanks again for your contributions - converting the 3.5e DMG traps to 4e was on the back burner of my to-do list. You may also like to look at some of the changes I made to your entries for formatting standards, etc. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 01:48, 8 September 2012 (MDT)<br />
:Thanks. I'll sort them out. Anyway, I apprieciate your changes, I was actually hoping someone would do that. And I haven't really done that many of the 3.5 edition traps, I mostly just converted spells into traps (it's much easier). I'll probobly do more later once I can borrow the player handbook and possibly the monster manual. [[User:Jerden|Jerden]] ([[User talk:Jerden|talk]]) 12:38, 8 September 2012 (MDT)<br />

== Sand Elemental Page Deletion ==<br />
<br />
In reguards to the [[Sand Elemental]] page, I was trying to do the same set up as the SRD Elementals. Was this in error doing this set-up or was it just a waist for time? --[[User:Korminor|Korminor]] ([[User talk:Korminor|talk]]) 15:18, 25 September 2012 (MDT)<br />
:Hi Korminor, actually your original formatting was fine. But I'm aiming to have the sand elementals formatted in the same way as what I've done to [[Chaos Elemental, Lesser (3.5e Creature)]] and [[Chaos Elemental, Greater (3.5e Creature)]]. The reason for this is that I've made a new index of creatures at [[User Creatures]], but the table gets screwed up if there's more than one creature template in a page. The creature template itself can display 3 creatures, so that's a maximum of 3 creatures per page - hence me splitting the creatures into "Lesser" and "Greater" pages. It's not ideal - I'd rather have them all on one page - but it's the only fix I can think of to make the index work.<br />
:What I can do, if you think it's appropriate, is keep [[Sand Elemental]] as an overview page, so long as it doesn't contain a creature template. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 15:36, 25 September 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Also, I never did give you a reply re: [[Karura (3.5e Deity)]]. So let me say this - in my opinion ''this is what all 3.5e deity pages should look like.'' Well formatted, well written, fully statted out. I couldn't tell you if any of the numbers are off though, but it looks like you've been careful and thorough. 15:55, 25 September 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::I would like to keep the [[Sand Elemental]] page as an overview page. I was planning on adding a bit to it on their history (Been a little busy with daughter starting school). Also thanks for the comments on [[Karura (3.5e Deity)]]. I started with the elite stats, then gave the increases for the levels gained (20 outsider + 30 Sandbender), then added the items used.

==Billhook Revert==<br />
Hi, we've not really met. I'm Badger, and I'm an admin who has been away for a while. Either way, we can chat more about that later, if you'd like. This message is to explain why I reverted your edits to [[Billhook_(3.5e_Equipment)|the billhook]]. The page that existed before you changed it was essentially a complete page, with mechanics and a concept. Maybe the concept needs work, and the balance sure needs some attention, but it was at least a fully fleshed out idea. Your edits reduced it to little more than a re-direct. If you are going to fundamentally change a page like you did, you might as well delete it entirely, and just redirect other pages away from it. I'm open to discussion on this point, but my understanding is that we don't try to serve as an encyclopedia, but rather as a reserve of actual content. To clarify that point, any article we have should have in-game mechanics, and not simply redirect a user to another page. Let me know how you feel about this, and I look forward to working with you in the future. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] ([[User talk:Badger|talk]]) 11:57, 5 October 2012 (MDT)<br />

== Hobbit vs. Halfling ==<br />
<br />
I'm aware that WotC uses the term Halfling to fill in for what is most assuredly a Hobbit. I was wondering if you know of any legal reason that would force this, or if we are free to use the term Hobbit without permission from the Tolkien Estate. I guess I'm just trying to stay out of trouble, but at the same time vastly prefer to use Hobbit. In the same line of thinking, we can use Orc even though Tolkien made that one up as well... --[[User:Pyper|Pyper]] 23oct12<br />
:Whilst the Tolkien Estate aggressively protect their trademark over the word "hobbit", I've only seen it happen in the cases where products are being sold. The worst that can happen is that we'll be asked to remove the page. Add a legal disclaimer at the bottom stating that the term is trademarked. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 02:30, 24 October 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Category:DnD ==<br />
<br />
On some pages you have been removing [[:Category:DnD]]. This category is there so D&D is separated from D20 Modern and such organizations are possible. 4e is not "new" in the sense of not having a need for Category:DnD, but rather it has not yet been added there because of the dpl's on the 3.5e pages. Unless I am missing something, please keep Category:DnD on all D&D pages. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] ([[User talk:Green Dragon|talk]]) 13:19, 25 October 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Since the "4e" and "3.5e" categories are sub-categories of "DnD", it seemed to me that having both was redundant. I can't see any crossovers with "D20M", it is still separate. Maybe ''I'm'' missing something. Can you give me an example of where it is causing a problem? (Also noting the reorganization I proposed at [[Talk:Main_Page#Categories]].)

Regarding community additions to unfinished content, how should I deal with a power that was added by a third party which does not really fit with my class or my design intents? Should I restructure their post as I see fit or notate a different design intent or what?

Hey, it's Ralcos.<br />
It's been a while since I've been here, but I must say thanks for you editing my race.<br />

== Smilodon Maioribus Review ==<br />
<br />
Hello once again Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
It has been a while since we have spoken but I believe (having reached my new permanent duty station) that now would be an excellent time to review the Smilodon Maioribus 4e Race once again, provided you are willing to do so and have the time to make such an effort. Unfortunately I am not entirely sure what, if at all, needs to be changed at this point with the race itself (the Apex Predator 4e Class itself I am intending to overhaul entirely, based on a few mechanics I learned from others who know of DnD in the armed forces).<br />
<br />
As always, thank you for your time and dedication to DnD Wiki, and your efforts, past and present, in staying in touch and assisting me with my race and class design!<br />
<br />
--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] ([[User talk:Argent Fatalis|talk]]) 18:43, 9 August 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Welcome back! Since you were last here I've been a bit distracted with the birth of my daughter - I've not had much time for complicated things. For your Apex Predator overhaul, I recommend concentrating on one or two core mechanics that improve through the levels (and worry less about making lots of different powers); take a look at the Hunter or the Slayer from the Essentials books. Also try to focus on ''one role'' - I've seen too many custom classes that try to do defender/striker and end up in a mess. Hope that helps! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 07:18, 10 August 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Thank you, Marasmusine, and most importantly, congratulations on the birth of your daughter to both you and your wife. I can certainly understand your crunch for time, especially with a newly born child around. For the Apex Predator class, that is still my intention of making a "specialist" class (with two separate, distinct sub-types), again focusing on criticals, grappling and stealth for its offensive "Vanquisher" variant, and with the "Challenger" deviation, a defender who relies on countering attacks and control. Seeing as the "Grabbed" and (knocked) "Prone" features work well, I have some ideas with them. I certainly don't intend for the Apex to be both, as I've begun making their choices fairly specific to each archetype.<br />
<br />
::--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] ([[User talk:Argent Fatalis|talk]]) 17:34, 11 August 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Hello again Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
:::I've made some significant changes to the [[Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Smilodon Maioribus race]] and the [[Apex Predator (4e Class)|Apex Predator class]], both of which I would love to get your opinion on when you have the time. I've tried to heavily relegate certain features to each subdivision of the Apex Predator class (to, in large part, make them two distinct portions). While the class design is not yet finished, it would be great to get your opinion on the re-working of a few mechanics that were present; for example, a primary mechanic of the Vanquisher is [[Seize (4e Power)|Seize], an attack that does minimal damage, but Grabs the opponent. <br />
<br />
:::Other issues lie in the scaling (I've never played nor seen endgame DnD played), so I cannot truly balance the class over the levels. I like the idea of the Apex Predator fittingly being a "niche" class, or one that excels extremely well at a few select things, but relies on its companion's classes to really augment and benefit it, and vice-versa.<br />

<br />
::Okay, then with the deletion we should provide a link to where the image is thereby not allowed, don't you think that makes sense? Thoughts on making this policy? We can leave images since their pages being here inherently state that they are under the GNU FDL v1.3 when one cannot find such a site. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] ([[User talk:Green Dragon|talk]]) 09:35, 16 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
:::Here are my thoughts:<br />
:::*We should make it clear that if you are uploading an image you need to say 1) Where you got the image from and who originally created it, and 2) What license it's under (note that ''we cannot use "fair use"'' for our purposes). For example, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload Wikipedia's upload information]. It's bad form to assume that an image doesn't have a copyright just because the uploader hasn't provided any information.<br />
:::*On the flipside, if I come to delete an image file because the above information is missing, I will make every effort to find an alternative compatible with our license, or embed the image from its original source. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 03:47, 17 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::By law, we do not need to do it like that so let's not. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] ([[User talk:Green Dragon|talk]]) 19:39, 17 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
:::::I need to get this straight. Here are the different kind of images we might use:<br />
:::::*Copyrighted images. We cannot use these without permission. If we can get permission, the owner would normally ask us to attribute the them and show that it's under copyright. We ''can'' use copyright work without permission where there is fair-use (e.g. book covers where we are providing information about a book), but we still need to attribute the copyright holder.<br />
:::::*Creative Commons[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/]. We ''have'' to attribute the author; if it's Sharealike we ''have'' to release it under the same license.<br />
:::::*Public Domain. We don't have to say anything: my argument is that it's good practice to provide some basic information (like I did [[:File:Vasnetsov samolet.jpg|here]]). <br />
:::::*Images the uploader created themselves. It's up to them what information they provide. Personally I credit myself for my own images. As you say, unless stated otherwise, it defaults to the GNU license.<br />
:::::If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to ''assume'' that images fall into the last two categories?<br />
<br />
::::::No. All I was saying is that the last two categorizes exist. If we find information about copyright we should delete the page with a link to the copyright location (for verification purposes). If the images is under a different license then, though, all we need to do is state that on that page of course and if we can keep the image we can keep the image (depending on the license).<br />
::::::Another thing to note is that images which are product copyright can be here if they are small enough (pretty sure). I think that is another one of their image statements in the image-related laws. If they are too big, though, they are considered (even with the different copyright categories) to infringe on product copyright (since they are images I think is the reasoning). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] ([[User talk:Green Dragon|talk]]) 20:06, 18 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
:::::::Thanks for the clarification. With regards product copyright, here's the legal wording for fair-use: ''"the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright."''<br />
:::::::Basically, we ''can'' use those images when we are providing educational information. On our wiki, this only our pages about books and other publications. We ''cannot'' use them for user-generated content. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 01:27, 19 July 2012 (MDT)<br />

<br />
::::::::::Not sure if my voice matters here, but I figure, if nothing else, it couldn't really hurt to speak up. Marasmusine is correct. Unless the purpose of the article within said images are used, is to critique the image, make a commentary on it, or otherwise review or parody it, then it does not fall under fair use. There are likely very few user generated articles and pages on this site that are dedicated to parody and review, for a commentary / educational stance. Now, for the handful wherein that IS true, than fair use would apply, but for those, such as a custom race, class, monster, campaign, that isn't actively done to review the image in some way, that isn't fair use, and permission / approval would be needed. If I were to take someone's image and put it up on a page I made, without their permission, and the image was used as an aid to help demonstrate something I had written in the page, that would be theft, unless they had otherwise stated that that image is perfectly allowed to be shared mercilessly without permission, but even then that would be limited to noncommercial things. Not that that should be a worry here. That said, the 'April Fools' articles may fall under being able to qualify 'fair use' if they are directly relevant to the image. --[[User:Elendra|Elendra]] ([[User talk:Elendra|talk]]) 09:08, 20 July 2012 (MDT)<br />

You had deleted a page I had posted due to a copy rights violation.

== Deity Stats ==<br />
<br />
I was interested in making a deity and wanted to actually make the stats. However I can't find the formula to use... I know that they are normally a 20HD outsider that have 30-50 Class levels. By that they should be a CR 40-60 depending on just that... But are there any other factors? Also Do they use the 15,14,13,12,10,8 Elite stat array?<br />

:About 5 years ago I sat down to create a 3.5e deity and discovered the same issue - no guideline on how to set the ability scores.

== Traps ([[User:jerden|jerden]] asking) ==<br />
<br />
I was just wondering if there was a way to change the title of my traps that still don't have (4e Trap) on them. I could copy them to new pages with (4e trap) on, but that won't really help anyone as it still will have the old ones. If it's something I can't do I'm sorry, in future I'll remember to add (4e Trap) to my (4e Trap)s! Anyway, I reacon I've wrote it enough time to remember now!<br />
:Hi Jerden, you can use the "Move" tab at the top of the screen. Also you can sign your posts using four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). Thanks again for your contributions - converting the 3.5e DMG traps to 4e was on the back burner of my to-do list. You may also like to look at some of the changes I made to your entries for formatting standards, etc. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 01:48, 8 September 2012 (MDT)<br />
:Thanks. I'll sort them out. Anyway, I apprieciate your changes, I was actually hoping someone would do that. And I haven't really done that many of the 3.5 edition traps, I mostly just converted spells into traps (it's much easier). I'll probobly do more later once I can borrow the player handbook and possibly the monster manual. [[User:Jerden|Jerden]] ([[User talk:Jerden|talk]]) 12:38, 8 September 2012 (MDT)<br />

== Sand Elemental Page Deletion ==<br />
<br />
In reguards to the [[Sand Elemental]] page, I was trying to do the same set up as the SRD Elementals. Was this in error doing this set-up or was it just a waist for time? --[[User:Korminor|Korminor]] ([[User talk:Korminor|talk]]) 15:18, 25 September 2012 (MDT)<br />
:Hi Korminor, actually your original formatting was fine. But I'm aiming to have the sand elementals formatted in the same way as what I've done to [[Chaos Elemental, Lesser (3.5e Creature)]] and [[Chaos Elemental, Greater (3.5e Creature)]]. The reason for this is that I've made a new index of creatures at [[User Creatures]], but the table gets screwed up if there's more than one creature template in a page. The creature template itself can display 3 creatures, so that's a maximum of 3 creatures per page - hence me splitting the creatures into "Lesser" and "Greater" pages. It's not ideal - I'd rather have them all on one page - but it's the only fix I can think of to make the index work.<br />
:What I can do, if you think it's appropriate, is keep [[Sand Elemental]] as an overview page, so long as it doesn't contain a creature template. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 15:36, 25 September 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Also, I never did give you a reply re: [[Karura (3.5e Deity)]]. So let me say this - in my opinion ''this is what all 3.5e deity pages should look like.'' Well formatted, well written, fully statted out. I couldn't tell you if any of the numbers are off though, but it looks like you've been careful and thorough. 15:55, 25 September 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::I would like to keep the [[Sand Elemental]] page as an overview page. I was planning on adding a bit to it on their history (Been a little busy with daughter starting school).

==Billhook Revert==<br />
Hi, we've not really met. I'm Badger, and I'm an admin who has been away for a while. Either way, we can chat more about that later, if you'd like. This message is to explain why I reverted your edits to [[Billhook_(3.5e_Equipment)|the billhook]]. The page that existed before you changed it was essentially a complete page, with mechanics and a concept. Maybe the concept needs work, and the balance sure needs some attention, but it was at least a fully fleshed out idea. Your edits reduced it to little more than a re-direct. If you are going to fundamentally change a page like you did, you might as well delete it entirely, and just redirect other pages away from it. I'm open to discussion on this point, but my understanding is that we don't try to serve as an encyclopedia, but rather as a reserve of actual content. To clarify that point, any article we have should have in-game mechanics, and not simply redirect a user to another page. Let me know how you feel about this, and I look forward to working with you in the future. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] ([[User talk:Badger|talk]]) 11:57, 5 October 2012 (MDT)<br />

== Hobbit vs. Halfling ==<br />
<br />
I'm aware that WotC uses the term Halfling to fill in for what is most assuredly a Hobbit. I was wondering if you know of any legal reason that would force this, or if we are free to use the term Hobbit without permission from the Tolkien Estate. I guess I'm just trying to stay out of trouble, but at the same time vastly prefer to use Hobbit. In the same line of thinking, we can use Orc even though Tolkien made that one up as well... --[[User:Pyper|Pyper]] 23oct12<br />
:Whilst the Tolkien Estate aggressively protect their trademark over the word "hobbit", I've only seen it happen in the cases where products are being sold. The worst that can happen is that we'll be asked to remove the page. Add a legal disclaimer at the bottom stating that the term is trademarked.

<br />
== Category:DnD ==<br />
<br />
On some pages you have been removing [[:Category:DnD]]. This category is there so D&D is separated from D20 Modern and such organizations are possible. 4e is not "new" in the sense of not having a need for Category:DnD, but rather it has not yet been added there because of the dpl's on the 3.5e pages. Unless I am missing something, please keep Category:DnD on all D&D pages. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] ([[User talk:Green Dragon|talk]]) 13:19, 25 October 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Since the "4e" and "3.5e" categories are sub-categories of "DnD", it seemed to me that having both was redundant. I can't see any crossovers with "D20M", it is still separate. Maybe ''I'm'' missing something. Can you give me an example of where it is causing a problem? (Also noting the reorganization I proposed at [[Talk:Main_Page#Categories]].)

Regarding community additions to unfinished content, how should I deal with a power that was added by a third party which does not really fit with my class or my design intents?

Hello {{PAGENAME}} and welcome to D&D Wiki. I hope you have been enjoying D&D Wiki and I hope you have been finding the information here useful. Before you start contributing it is recommended you make sure your [[Special:Preferences|user preferences]] match your preferences. I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well). Everything relating to admins can be found [[Meta Pages#Administration|here]].<br />
;Questions:<br />
If you have any questions about a specific page please ask it on that pages talk page. All other questions should be asked to another; user, admin, or me, the owner ([http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Green_Dragon&action=edit&section=new ask me a question]).<br />
;Formatting<br />
Formatting on D&D Wiki (or any wiki for that matter) can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Help:Editing] on Wikipedia (or even their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction Introduction] page). This will explain basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Again, if you have any questions about formatting on D&D Wiki please ask them as, I imagine, anybody will be more than happy to help you get them answered.<br />
;Community<br />
A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. Most discussions take place on content talk pages, however please feel free to ask specific D&D-related questions on [[DnD Discussion]]s. Anyway, possibly since discussions are never deleted, people try to be nice. This means follow Wikipedia's guidelines on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility civility] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etiquette etiquette] when discussing anything. Also, on a pretty different note, to ensure people know who posted what, please sign your name after a post with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) or by clicking on the signature icon ([[Image:Signature_icon.png]]). This will automatically produce your name and the date. Anyway, I hope you come to enjoy D&D Wiki and the community and welcome again, you are now a D&D Wikian. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:08, 30 May 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Few things ==<br />
<br />
First of all, you can sign your posts by hitting the button above the edit window, or else by adding four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).<br />
<br />
Secondly, make sure you are only adding content for which you are comfortable to have other people editing. Every time you edit a page there is a very clear warning that says "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I've noticed on many (all?) of your pages you have placed warnings saying "No one can edit this page", and that's simply not true. ''Anyone'' can edit your page, that's the whole point of a wiki.<br />

:::::I'm going to chime in here to add something. While it's true anyone ''can'' edit anything, most users like to maintain some sense of ownership over their content. While this may be a false sense of ownership, it's usually respected. Few people will go in and edit your races or classes to make it what they want. If anyone has suggestions for content or balance they will likely just add a balance template or leave you a message on the discussion page. I wouldn't worry about people editing your content. I've uploaded some of my own work here and other people making edits has never been an issue. Plus, if they ever make drastic changes you don't like, there's always the revert button. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

While the chatroom was eventually removed, I'm polling the community to see if we would like to have one again. Here is where you come in. If you have some time (it shouldn't take more than a few minutes), stop by [[Discussion:Re-opening_the_tavern%3F_What_does_the_community_think%3F|the discussion]] and post your thoughts.

::No, lol. A tag is the classifier after the name of the page. i.e. [[Knight (3.5e Class)]] where the (3.5e Class) would be the tag. Or [[Generating Ability Scores (3.5e Variant Rule)]] where the (3.5e Variant Rule) would be the tag. It should say what the tag is supposed to be when your naming the page in the box for the preload.

If you don't want to display "User:Axl" in front of everything, and I don't blame you, write your links like this: <nowiki> [[User:Axl/Page Name|Display Name]]</nowiki> and it will show up as a link that displays whatever you wrote, regardless of the actual page name.

== Your Sourcebook ==<br />
<br />
Alright, so you're writing a sourcebook for 4e future. Very Cool. However, you aren't doing it quite right. Every page in your Sourcebook needs to be a subpage of the main page, not a new page. What I mean is your sourcebook is named "DnD 4.0 Future" so the URL for that page should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)". The URL for your page "Introduction" should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction". Is that clear? You can still link them like any other page, by putting "DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction" in the double brackets. What you've done right now is made several random pages floating around the wiki that aren't where they belong. Let me know if you need any more help. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:(Groan). Okay. I'll just change all the links to fit the new page name. By the way, it's a 4e Sourcebook. Why's there the 3.5e Sourcebook thing?<br />

Since you asked Green Dragon, and I'm not sure if you watch his talk page I thought I'd let you know I've started working on some 4e preloads. here is the [[User_talk:Green_Dragon#Add_new_equipment.3F|link]]. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:09, 17 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Problems with your Sourcebook==<br />
Alright, so it seems you're having some trouble understanding what your sourcebook is, and what it isn't.<br />
# Your sourcebook is a complete set of variant rules and modifications to an existing DnD Edition (4e, in your case)<br />
# Your sourcebook is written by you. As this is a wiki others may contribute, but 99% of the work is yours.<br />
# Your sourcebook is still 4e. Because of this, all the equipment needs to be labeled (4e Equipment) not (4e Future Equipment). The same is true for Races, Classes, Powers, and whatever else you write.<br />
Ok then, now that we've cleared that up, here's what we have to do:<br />
#Every piece of equipment you wrote that is labeled (4e Future Equipment) needs to be '''moved''' to (4e Equipment). The same is true for all your races and classes and everything.<br />
#To have all your 4e Future equipment (and other things) kept together, you need to add a category at the bottom of each page that indicates that page belongs to your sourcebook.<br />
Hopefully all this makes sense, as it is important. If you don't understand anything here, you need to ask someone about it before you continue work on your sourcebook. I don't really want to help you with the grunt work of moving pages and whatnot, but I'd be willing to teach you how to do things, if you need me to. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 03:50, 20 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Tiered bonuses for racial powers ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, thanks for contacting me!<br />
<br />
I'll explain further. Attack powers usually have the Implement or Weapon keywords. Therefore they benefit from enchantment bonuses, and are ''expected'' to have an enchantment bonus at later levels. Furthermore, Weapon attacks will benefit from a proficiency bonus (although they normally target AC).<br />
<br />
Racial attack powers will most often ''not'' have the Implement or Weapon keywords (since they are inherent abilities) and therefore need some attack bonus to keep up with enchantment bonuses. For example, the Dragonborn's breath weapon has +2 at heroic, +4 at paragon, +6 at epic.<br />
<br />
So no, you don't ''have'' to have the tiered bonus, but don't expect the power to still be effective by late Heroic. I hope that this is useful for you, please contact me if you have any queries about my other comments. Thanks! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 10:24, 22 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Damage ''usually'' tiers too. Dragonborn's breath goes 1d6, 2d6, 3d6 for example. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 00:39, 28 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== sci fi ==<br />

Hi Axl, on the subject of your Future work, I wondered if you had read the new Gamma World? A while ago I was working on adapting a sci-fi 4e but abandoned it when I realized that using GW as a foundation was much better than D&D. It uses basically the 4e system with with more appropriate skills and damage types, and instead of race/class you mix and match two origins. Anyway :) Keep up the good work. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 15:56, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:No, I have not. If you want to contribute Gamma World to 4e Future, you can. :) Though, I have worked on a Racial Hybrid system. If you wanna check it out, it's [[User: Axl/My Sandbox/Racial Hybrid System|here]] --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 16:06, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />

Hi Axl, I've removed the Pumped sourcebook per your request. I'd like to remove the associated page [[Pumped Eldritch Giant (4e Race)]] too, since it's not really usable in normal 4e games. If you have any plans for it though I'll leave it. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 01:59, 3 April 2012 (MDT)<br />

== Future ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, I'm thinking of making a 4e sourcebook based on the arcade game [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Commando Captain Commando]]. I'll be basing this on a Gamma World type mechanics. Since you have an interest in all things Future you may be interested to see how this is done, and how it might be applied to your Future sourcebook. If you like the style, perhaps I can help you with your own articles. I'll let you know when I've done a few examples (may be a few weeks!) [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 03:52, 9 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:All right. I'll check up on it when you get some stuff in it. Most of my stuff is based off of either Megaman or Kirby, though, I'm going to take one race from Fire Emblem, the Laguz, and integrate it into the sourcebook. You'll see how it's integrated when I modify one of the races I built. Actually, I think I'll actually end up splitting it into several races. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 12:19, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />

:::Okay, it seems to me like you're leaning towards D20 Modern (ten levels thing). Oh, I just went into your Origin link. Don't put (4e Future Origin). I was told not to do that. Just use (4e Origin). Might be a cool thing when more origins are put in. One question. How do you get more powers as you level up? Can you explain that in the sourcebook -or did I miss something?-? So with the origins, is it kinda like the tech tree from D20 Modern? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 13:49, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
::::Thanks for taking a look. The power progression is described at [[Future_(4e_Sourcebook)#Gaining Levels]] - At 1st level you should have 2 Novice Powers (usually two at-will attacks) and 1 Future Power (I haven't made any of those yet). By 10th level you have 2 Novice Powers, 2 Utility Powers, 2 Expert Powers and 3 Future Powers.<br />
::::I'm not familiar with d20 modern. The advantage of having a 10-level Origin is that they are much easier to create compared to D&D classes. I could try knocking out a few [http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Groups_and_Species Sonic] origins to see how that would work. I find the idea of mixing and matching concepts from lots of different games to be interesting.<br />
::::Also, I'm now regretting a bit calling mine "Future" as well. The intention was to be collaborative, I don't mean to appear competitive! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 02:05, 17 April 2012 (MDT)<br />

Hi Axl, I've taken another look at [[Pantheon (4e Creature)]] and I don't know if you intend to work on it again or not.

Don't know what to do with the Pantheon. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] ([[User talk:Axl|talk]]) 21:15, 27 September 2012 (MDT)</div>Axlhttps://www.dandwiki.com/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Green_Dragon&diff=585852User talk:Green Dragon2012-08-23T22:13:58Z<p>Axl: /* Disturbing news about D&D 4.0 Future (4e Sourcebook)/Chapter 5: Equipment/4e Upgrades */</p>

== Rating Please ==<br />

I have created a few classes, and I would very much appreciate if you could rate them for me. The classes are Mime (3.5e Class) and Soldier (3.5e Class), and Dragoon (by RDC) (3.5 PrC). <br />

== 4 Edition Summaries ==<br />
<br />
Long time no see. I was wondering if I am allowed to put small summaries of the 4 edition races in my Campaign's races page. It would be name, size, stat bonus and racial features.<br />
<br />
I am asking because the races I want to put in are rather small, and it seems strange to just have a couple of things on one page. The official 4 edition races would be for comparison. [[Celen Joad]] 11:05, 13 January 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Of course. The official races, however, you can't add. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:21, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />

<br />
Does anyone think that giants could become a race? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 17:23, 26 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Does [[SRD:Giants, Hill (Race)|this]] & [[SRD:Giants, Stone (Race)|this]] help? --[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 18:57, 26 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
::Er, I mean for D&D 4e. Not 3.5e. Sorry. Do you think that even Devils and Demons could become races in 4e? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 16:47, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::I don't see why not. Some things may give you direction, ideas, and so forth. The [[Horned Devil (4e Race)|horned devil]] you created, the [[Cambion (4e Race)|cambion]], [[Infernal Blooded (4e Race)|infernal blooded]] relate to name a few. With regard to giants, [[Half-Giant (4e Race)|half-giant]], [[Hill Giant (4e Race)|hill giant]] may give you direction, ideas, and so forth to name a few. Does this help at all? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:18, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::Do you think that the horned devil is too powerful? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 21:02, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::I took a look at it, and modified [[Template:Needsbalance]]'s reason. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 21:39, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::::Okay, I looked at it. Maybe, instead, I could make a paragon path that allows wings (I looked in the Player's Handbook 2 and it allows the dragonborn to have an overland flight speed of 12)? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 21:49, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::::Is that a power though? If you make it something like a power, I imagine that would balance it. A paragon path with the same goal could give you flying results too. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:02, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::::::Well, at level 12, it allows you to make a brief flight. But at level 16, you gain the overland flight. But this is only if you choose that paragon path. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 21:46, 29 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::::::If you supply me a link I could take a look at it. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 23:12, 6 April 2011 (MDT)<br />

<br />
I like the idea for the Magician class-is there a way to contact the author? {{Unsigned|Wonderer|17:12, 29 January 2011 (UTC)}}<br />

<br />
== Warning Policy Input ==<br />
<br />
Hey Green Dragon. I was looking at [[Talk:Hill Giant (4e Race)|Talk:Hill Giant]]. Thank you for trying to keep profanity down, even name calling. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 21:44, 29 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:No problem. Do you think the revision history link is superfluous (and counter-productive)? Should the text be condensed? Thoughts? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:44, 6 April 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::The history link... What do you mean by if it's superfluous? I don't think the text should be condensed. Well, lets see... Do you think that giants are really that bad? Can Giants wield Medium weapons? Also, Giants aren't readly accepted into society (they kinda have a bad reputation). Also, weapons cost more (if you get them from a non-giant source, and that's if they even '''want''' to make one for a giant that they know nothing about). --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 14:40, 9 April 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Giants ==<br />
<br />
Hey Green Dragon. I talked with my brother, and he said that bursts weren't that bad. Do you think that giants should be practically normal, but the user chooses whether to pick a power or a feature (you can only have one or the other; not both)? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 15:07, 1 February 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:I've never seen that used before, and it could make for confusion. I'd recommend just toning down the burst and the class feature, but bursts are interesting, I agree. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 23:15, 6 April 2011 (MDT)<br />

== Meaning of Meaningful Gestures? ==<br />
<br />
Was reading [[Catgirl,_Domestic_(3.5e_Race)|Catgirls]], and was a tad jarred by the "Meaningful gesture" section under [[Catgirl,_Domestic_(3.5e_Race)#Names|Names]]. Without any explanations given for these gestures, is this meant to be presented as a "Interpret as you will" type listing, or was this something that was going to be expanded upon further? Using known data about real-life felines and fictional Japanese catgirls as a starting point, I have compiled a very extensive list of different Body Language messages which we use for a local Catgirl character, which you are more than welcome to use if you wish. I'll be watching this page for a response. {{Unsigned|96.229.186.168|07:39, 8 February 2011 (UTC)}}<br />
<br />
:That is fine to add that to [[:Category:Catgirl|those pages]]. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:02, 9 February 2011 (MST)<br />

== Just another new guy asking around... ==<br />
<br />
SO I've been told about the treasure trove of optional ideas that have been continuing the sprit of 3.5 by my newest D&D group and after a (strangely lucid) dream I came up with the following:<br />
<br />
Spell Slayer<br />
<br />
This +3 crystalline Mage Bane Longsword when wielded by a spell caster on impact allows the caster to make a DC 30 Spellcraft check.<br />
On a successful check the sword ether casts vampiric touch (as caster level 6, max 3 times per combat) OR, if the target is a spellcaster it <br />
steals one (1) random spell. Spells stolen this way are stored until the end of combat and are dispelled afterwards. A caster with the Arcane<br />
Strike feat may sacrifice spells stolen in this manner for the bonuses provided by the feat. (For cost see Holy Avenger)<br />
<br />
<br />
Crystalline Weapon property<br />
<br />
This material is primarily used to make weapons for and against spellcasters. It provides an additional (stacks with magical bonuses) equipment <br />
bonus +1 to hit and damage versus targets with magical abilities or properties (supernatural abilities or uncast spells are examples of this). <br />
In addition it provides a +1 to caster level for all spellcasters wielding or possessing such a weapon, hafted weapons do not confer the caster level bonus. All weapons crafted from Crystalline are considered master work. (For cost see Adamantine)<br />
<br />
Now I don't want to post anything retardedly over powered up on the site (like some of the things I have seen/heard) and would like some advice before I throw it up on the site since I haven't seen a forum section (yet).<br />
<br />
<br />
:The best way to get things looked at is to just take the plunge and create the page. If it is retardedly over-powered, people will tell you. Most people here will offer constructive criticism and will genuinely want to help you improve/complete/flesh out your 'fill in the blank'. Spelling and grammar checks are also staples of the site.

<br />
Hey. Umm I'm just joined your site; I'm wondering if there is anything i should know (like guidelines for what and what not to post). I'm kind of wondering how to make classes. P.S.: I'm guessing those little #s in red and green are reputation points. --[[User:Knave67|Knave 67]] 00:19, 22 February 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Classes for which edition? Any of the "create" boxes will use the correct preload if you use them, giving direction for the class. The preloads (some are listed [[Help:Standards and Formatting (DnD Guideline)#Preloads|here]]) should tell you what the class is. As everything is different in nature, telling you how something should be created is not possible. Of course guidelines exist, and [[DnD Guidelines]] may help you. Most things are balanced off similar things and, as mentioned above, if something is retardedly overpowered people will tell you. Does this help? Also what do you mean by the post scriptum you mentioned above? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 18:18, 21 February 2011 (MST)<br />

Hey Green Dragon.. This is Dj00345... i have a question for the 2.5e Homebrew that you are letting me create for the wiki.... How can i create a Template for some of the pages????? i notice when i create a new creature that there is already typing on the white screen when you create a creature... i know that is a template... but how do i create my own template myself???? i need to make some of the templates for the other links, like: Deities, Equipment, Spells, Races, Class, and the others, so that when people create a page, then the right information will already be on the screen and all they have to do is create the page.... do you understand what i am saying???? please reply back on my user talk page... thx!!!

== 3.5e Campaign Setting Teoryran ==<br />
<br />
How can improve my Teoryran Setting. How can I create classes for Teoryran with the same name but different from existing classes of the same name? I am making a new system. Where all base classes are racial and status based on:<br />
<br />
* Each race have four subraces for peasants, nobles, priests and a variable fourth.<br />
* Each subrace have a class<br />
* Each social caste have classes based on them.<br />
<br />
Noble orcs can be samurai and noble humans can be knights. Human and orc serfs can be scoundrels, thiefs or conscriped soldiers. There will be different classes for priests and monks than for nobility. "Big changes" include:<br />
<br />
* only racial classes gives hp<br />
* carrier classes doesn't give HP<br />
* gold is removed<br />
<br />
--[[User:Klas|Klas Wullt]], 01:42 13 May 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:For the pages with the same name you include ", Teoryran". For example "Orc, Teoryran (3.5e Race)". For the subraces you include their subrace after the comma (much like the SRD elves). For example "Orc, Teoryran Peasant (3.5e Race)". The classes can then, of course, be their favored class. If it is the fighter, for example, it would be "Fighter, Teoryran (3.5e Class)" and/or "Fighter, Teoryran Peasant (3.5e Class)". For the game mechanic changes you may have to make a [[3.5e Rules|rule]] or include it some way.

== 3.5e Equipment List - new category (Page editing locked) ==<br />
<br />
Hi Green,<br />
<br />
I'm a new user to Wiki & would appreciate some helpful advice :-)<br />
<br />
Going to start a new D&D campaign this year with a Pirate theme. When people think of Pirates, thier main thoughts are Pirate Ships, Cannons, Flintlock Pistols & Cutlasses.<br />
<br />
Flintlock's can easily be replaced with Hand Crossbow's, Cannons needed some more thought.<br />
<br />
I do not want to introduce gunpowder into the campaign so as an alternative i've decided to go with Gnomish Engineering and introduce some clockwork & steampowered machinery (Steampunk) resulting in Steam Cannon's aboard ships<br />
<br />
Decided the 3.5e equipment list therefore needs a new category of Gnome Engineering, a place for all things clockwork, steampowered or basic engineering (i.e. Piston Water Pumps)<br />
<br />
I don't think this technolgy would change game balance as there are many ancient technologies that have been rediscovered such as the Baghdad Battery & Eygptian Piston Ballista<br />
<br />
Created the Gnome Engineering category but can not link this category to the 3.5e Equipment list, as this page is locked for editing (for very good reasons, looks complicated)<br />
<br />
Are you able to help?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

== Economist talk page ==<br />
<br />
So, I was browsing through the recent talk page (as I often do), and I was confused by your recent actions on the talk page of the Economist. Care to elaborate? It seemed like someone asked a question on the discussion, and Jota responded with an answer to the question. You deleted the reply, and gave no reason as to why. Someone (a random IP) then went and undid you revert, presumably because you removed helpful and useful content without a reason. You blocked him for 3 months for edit warring, despite him only having a single contribution to the wiki. What happened to warnings? What happened to the increasing block length? Effectively, you banned someone from the wiki for 3 months because they undid one of your edits, which you made without any reason at all. What's going on? --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:05, 24 May 2011 (MDT)<br />

<br />
::The [[Warning Policy]] is only for when one does not edit with civility and etiquette. This is unrelated. Edit warring is a block reason on WIkipedia's policies and therefore effective on D&D Wiki. I don't mean it to be a zero-sum game, but when someone answers with (shortened) "this answer is irrelevant, look elsewhere" it's a obscuration of spamming to external sites. Another common block reason. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 21:47, 24 May 2011 (MDT)<br />

:::The zero-sum part is black-holing any mention, however remote of another site*. It's either us or them. If they win, we lose (zero-sum). But there's no reason it has to be that way.

:::::GD, no one is telling you to change policy about reviewing content, or anything else of that ilk. Jazzman merely said, and I agree, that we should be allowed to say things exist.

::::::Links are supposed to do though [[DnD Links]]. All other links are incorrect. However, as I see it, on userpages is okay as long as when one notices it they move it to DnD Links, because to me that seems more like the user is unaware or unknowing.

<br />
:::::::So, by your own admission, Jota and everyone else can post links to their other wikis on their user page, but not in the main namespace? Seems fair to me. I'll go ahead and add links to [[DnD Links]].

<br />
:::::::::You're telling me that there shouldn't be any external links on User Pages then? I was under the impression that if they were also listed on DnD Links, that would be fine. Sometimes you'd want to give a more specific link, like say one to a particular article. The way you've phrased it, it seems like there should be no external links anywhere but on that DnD Links page. That doesn't make any sense at all. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 13:50, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::Well, maybe something like the w: could be made (as a template) for each link. Really, however, one should just direct one to [[DnD Links]] (that's why they are <tt><nowiki>{{#anc:}}</nowiki></tt>'ed). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 13:41, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::I understand what you're saying. I'm saying why make someone go to DnD Links, and then search the other site, when you could just as easily link to the exact page in the first place? DnD Links is certainly a good page, and designed for ease of reference, but I think it works best as a general tool, and for specific purposes one might as well link directly from one page to another, without using DnD Links. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 13:50, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
<-- Again, why? Can someone give me a reason why we are never allowed to link to other sites? I'm just not seeing the reasoning here other than to annex The Site Which Shall Not Be Named, and even that I can't see any good reasoning for. [[User:Hooper|Hooper]] is allowed to link to [[O.G.R.E.]] (which has it's own wiki page, btw; we aren't even allowed to ''mention'' the Other Wiki) with no repercussions, but an anon who undid an outright deletion of a post that vaguely mentions That Other Wiki was banned, without warning, for 3 months. Did they murder your favorite pet or something? Will the site really blow up if I decide to link to some innocent site that doesn't happen to me mentioned on DnD Links (which, judging by the traffic on that page, nobody looks at anyway)?<br />
<br />
Sadly, I've seen this exact same scenario on wikis before: site 1 does something that subset of the site doesn't like. Said subset creates their own wiki. Wiki 1 bans mentions of Wiki 2. Wiki 2 uses this as reasoning to orchestrate more and bigger attacks against Wiki 1. As the bickering continues both sites end up looking silly and losing who would otherwise be valuable members. The more we block them the more they will do things like [[Special:Contributions/Bird|Bird]] did, which are ultimately more harmful to the site than anything the users would do if we just played nice with them. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 15:40, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:So, should we do something like w: then? Currently, [[User:Hooper|Hooper]] should not be linking to any site not by way of [[DnD Links]]. I'm just following policy, be it fledgling or not. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 16:00, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />

There was a bunch of silly squabbling, and the other wiki left, taking a ton of content and users with them. GD and everyone else were upset about who took what content, and the legality of that. Honestly, in my mind, this is the sort of thing that, after a week, could have blown over. Clearly we just need to share a beer, play some D&D, and realize how silly this fight is. Also, start allowing each other to link to each other's wikis. I can't speak with any certainty, but I am pretty sure they allow links to this wiki. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 15:58, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Go for it. I don't really want to do any cleaning out of userpages right now&ndash; I'm working on [[4e Deities]] as it is. I agree this is silly, however if links really are needed then someone (again, I don't care to do this) should make something like how [[Template:Background Information (Halo Supplement)]] treats links for each link. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:11, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::I'm not going to delete [[O.G.R.E.]] because it doesn't bother me and I don't understand why it's not allowed. I don't want to go angering Hooper, who's contributions are numerous and high-quality, if I don't have to. If you have time to block people for mentioning one site, I'm not sure why you are too busy to block people for mentioning another site. So how about instead we just allow everyone to link to sites?<br />
<br />
:::And if all we have to do in order to link to D&D wiki (err, the *other* one, anyway) is to create a template, then that's a piece of cake. Heck, I can make one that works even ''better'' than the one you linked to. Now everyone's happy! [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 17:45, 25 May 2011 (MDT) (BTW Green Dragon, I think you are having problems with your browser. For some reason when you edit it deletes parts of the page on accident).<br />
<br />
::::I'm not entirely sure why we need a template, especially one that would go at the bottom of the page like you linked. Maybe one at the top of the talk page? But, what would the template say, "This page contains external links. DanDWiki does not have any affiliation with any externally linked sites. Links do no necessarily reflect the views of DanDWiki and its owners"? --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 20:06, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::That's a good idea. And it could incorporate the switch extension. I just meant "like how [[Template:Background Information (Halo Supplement)]] treats links". --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 20:29, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::How about this:<br />
<br />
{| align=center border=1 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=2 style="text-align: center; background:#F4F0EC; color:black"<br />
! style= "background:#71A6D2" | <big><big>Attention!</big></big><br />
|-<br />
| '''This page contains external links.'''<br/><small>D&D Wiki does not have any affiliation with any externally linked sites. <br> Links do no necessarily reflect the views of D&D Wiki</small><br />
|}<br />
<br />
::::::It makes no sense to have a template for individual sites, or even as a way to include the link in the template. If it pleases the wiki, we can just make a <nowiki>{{template:external_link}}</nowiki> and go from there. Throw this up on a page, and we can have external links anywhere we want. Problem solved. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 20:56, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::I don't like how obtrusive that is. I would prefer something much less obtrusive, comparable to an expansion of the MW external link symbol. For example: <nowiki>[www.address.{{{1}}}] ([[DnD Links#site|link information]]</nowiki> [[File:Externallink.png|12px]] this external link does not have any affiliation with D&D Wiki) And, I would prefer having a hard list of sites because as the internet is full of sites with varying degrees of quality it is good to have some quality control over how it effects D&D Wiki. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:35, 26 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::Ok, well, considering that external links already have an associated image (or at least a symbol), why don't you just include a line of text below the edit window (by which I mean below the line "You are also promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a public domain or similar free resource. Do not submit copyrighted work without permission!") that says something to the effect of "Links to external sites must be deemed appropriate; inappropriate links subject to removal. See [[DnD Links]] for list of appropriate links." and we'll just say any page or subpage of a link on the DnD Links page can be freely linked to. I think the problem with including a template in this process is that we already have a ton of templates that we don't use because they are confusing or hard to find. Considering there is already a button for external links, we might as well use that. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 12:18, 26 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::What are your thoughts on just making a [[Meta Pages#Policies|policy]] which covers it and then adding text on [[DnD Links]] explaining it's function. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:27, 26 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::That sounds like the best possible plan. We allow external links, add a line in the policy about external links, and a brief summary about what should and should not be linked on the DnD links page. I'm glad we've finally come to some sort of agreement, and don't require the use of templates or other things that may be confusing to new users. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 19:35, 26 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::I just wanted to comment on something said much earlier. It was ''"Note, however, that it's only one site that gets people insta-blocked for a quarter. Other sites get mentioned without such severe penalties. In one case, I can think of a site that's mentioned multiple times that nobody seems to have any problem with..."''. Not true. I literally was blocked on [http://dungeons.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=&year=&month=-1 September 20th, 2009] after making four edits to that wiki - one redirecting a talk page to me, and three asking for a diff in a respectful manner. The block summary even stated some harsh thing. Don't pretend that one wiki is a white knight in this issue. I still don't understand why people won't just stay at their chosen wiki home, and ignore the other. ''(also, I only added the actual link because I'm understanding its now okay on talk pages? If thats not so delete it. I'm honestly having a hard time following.)''<br />
:::::::::::Now, as far as O.G.R.E.s is concerned. It is my understanding, and perhaps I am wrong in this understanding, that long ago it was decided not to link to "competing sites". OGREs may be another wiki ''(for now, but when our webmaster isn't paid, things take time)'' but it isn't a competing site. We're not looking for the same kind of content. Now maybe I'm wrong, and if so, delete it. But in my opinion, the D&D Other section is perfect for articles discussing the different gaming organizations and may be very pertinent to the common D&D Wiki browser's interest. &nbsp;<small><span style="border: 1px solid black; -moz-border-radius:10px">[[User:Hooper|'''<span style="background-color:White; color:Black; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px"> Hooper </span>''']][[User talk:Hooper|<span style="background-color:Black; color:white; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px">&nbsp;&nbsp;talk&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Hooper|<span style="background-color:black; color:white">&nbsp;&nbsp;contribs&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>]][[Special:Emailuser/Hooper|<span style="background-color:black; color:white; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:10px; -moz-border-radius-topright:10px">&nbsp;&nbsp;email&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>]]</span></small> 21:35, 29 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::::Even if they did block you, that's not really a good reason to insta-block ''them''. Simply linking to that site isn't, in and of itself, a legitimate reason in my mind to block someone for ''3 months'', especially considering the specific case we were talking about. (Let's face it, were it anyone but GD, we might have thought the original reversion was vandalism; it is only because we saw his name beside it that we know it wasn't).<br />
<br />
::::::::::::As for O.G.R.E, I don't actually think it should be deleted, just as I don't think links to the other wiki should be deleted. But as far as I can tell, there's no differentiation between what links we are allowed to link to. Under the current rules as written, if we insta-ban people for mentioning one, it's completely hypocritical to pretend links to the other don't even exist. I'm not actually arguing that we enforce the rules against all sites, I think we need to change the rule entirely. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 22:05, 29 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::::What's an instablock? The block was for edit warring, see also [http://www.dandwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3A63.23.72.173]. It's unrelated. I have no idea about O.G.R.E.. Is it on [[DnD Links]]? Has it been looked over? If it's anything like your video channel (which I have seen) then i'd be fine. Of course this discussion is for elsewhere. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:11, 29 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::::::[http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/216.66.140.248 This] is an insta-block. A user's very first ever edit was a reversion of unexplained deletion of Jota's response. The guy can't be accused of edit warring when there were (liberally) only 2 reverts, only one of which was this guy a participant. If we go by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:3RR#The_three-revert_rule WP:3RR], it's not a revert war until one editor does ''three'' reverts in a 24-hour period. That editor hadn't even had three ''edits''. (The IP you linked to, by the way, only had 2 reverts, and was never even given a warning before he was blocked for 3 months.) Not only that, but had an IP or a new user deleted Jota's comment without explanation, the reversion of said deletion would probably be given exception from the 3RR, because to all appearances, deleting someone else's talk page comments is usually itself vandalism. Adding them back almost never is. At worst, the two IPs should have been given an explanation of how what they were doing was not allowed, a warning to discontinue their actions, and ''maybe'' blocked for a day to cool down.

== hello ==<br />
<br />
I have almost finnished 3/8 planned racial caste races.<br />
Please have a look at the Human noble and human peasant <br />
and Ork noble races.<br />
Links are found at Teoryran info about Races.<br />
<br />
The race pages are to big, <br />
any suggestions of how to cut them up and<br />
sort them in different sections?<br />
<br />
== hi ==<br />
<br />
Mmm, well I needed the pages sorted after supplement.<br />
I needed to put lots of class and race descriptions of personality, the world<br />
and their lands somewhere else.<br />

<br />
:What do you mean? [[Races of Teoryran (Teoryran World Supplement)]] is understandable. It is missing its footer though. Is that what you mean? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 19:52, 26 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
Yes; sorry for being unclear.<br />
I Lack footers and I am unsure where to put my classes<br />
if they are not exactly base classes either?<br />
Variant rules?<br />
Should I greate a new page for racial classes?<br />
Or are they paragon classes?<br />
I am worried that some of the pages about info for the setting<br />
lack addresses and take up extra memory.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hello.<br />
We need a racial class category like that from Savage Species.<br />
Savage Species offers levels all the way up<br />
and they don’t just raise abilities at level 3.<br />
Can I make a suppliment page<br />
where I have my own classess,<br />
I might do it, you can delete if its improper.<br />
I would like some criticism for my classes.<br />
<br />
:I imagine what you are talking about should work as a [[3.5e Racial Paragon Classes|racial paragon class]] with a specific [[3.5e Races|race]] made for it. Though you may want to mention that you are using the monster class rules from [[Savage Species]]. If they are not racial paragon classes then yes, you should make a [[3.5e Rules|rule]] about them and link them from there. Don't worry about taking up space. It's of no concern. Does this help? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 12:29, 13 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:It does help alot, I think I prefere the combo Savage Species+ Paragon. and have started to work on it.Now my problem lies with what features to distribute.But aren't there any category where you can submit Savage Species Monster classes? Paragon classes, mostly allows you to reduce the weaknesses of a race, as I see it anyway, while monster classes sort of build the race from zero and up.The attempt to create different "races" for aristocrats and commoners,end up making them very similar except that commoners gets penalties the nobles don't.I have a dozen ideas, and edit back and forth.Still, if you took a look at these I made,you can se specific balancing is a problem.<br />

== Edit Revert? ==<br />
<br />
Why did you revert my edit on [[Talk:DnD Links]]? I didn't break any of your rules and, furthermore, I contributed to the discussion. You shouldn't just censor things because you don't agree with them... --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 13:44, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Because it's not adding anything new to the discussion. It's not pertinent, see also the reason. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 13:49, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::"Because it's not adding anything new to the discussion."<br />
::False. I gave an illustration of how GNU (and similarly GPL) actually works in practice and showed that the emphasis on the licenses was initially for code libraries/projects. That emphasis is a very important distinction because it provides more basis for the argument I'm making. This also provides some historical context for my argument.<br />
::I brought up how MySQL's licensing can be seen as a parallel example (actually I could have brought up Wikipedia too -- how do you think they transitioned from GPL 1.2 to GPL 1.3? Relicensing.).<br />
<br />
::"It's not pertinent, see also the reason."<br />
::Your reason is a complete strawman argument. ie. You are attacking an argument I didn't even make. Let's examine the exact "reason" you gave:<br />
::"wrong - there is no section 11 clause to the GNU FDL v1.2 (that's the whole -i think- MSQL legal dilema)"<br />
::Now go back to what I wrote. Did I write ''anything'' about section 11? No. In fact, earlier I already explained that section 11 does not apply in this case because this wiki is under GNU FDL 1.2 (the exact thing I said was "Anon, you are actually incorrect, unfortunately. This wiki uses GNU FDL 1.2 and no licenses can just suddenly retroactively patch a previous license.", see the context).<br />
::Also, you "think" that is the whole "MSQL legal dilema", but I never even said that this has anything to do at all with MySQL's legal dilemma. I was strictly comparing the fact that MySQL was able to transition to a dual license to authorship as a concept.<br />
::And, just to be a bit cheeky: you censored a well-written post meant to explain in detail my stance in a discussion. The whole point of that post was because you clearly were not responding intelligibly to what I had written earlier, so it seemed necessary to go into more detail. That's a pretty standard thing in a discussion. Elaborating on a point when the other party doesn't seem to understand.<br />
::What I'd like to hear is how you think authorship and licensing actually works. All you've done is say that others are wrong, but you have yet to provide any evidence to back up your claims. --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 14:10, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::It may not even be MySQL I am referring to. There is a conglomerate of companies which has a problem with previous GNU FDL licensing and now it is uncertain who owns their things. Since they used section 11 and did some version changing and things, they now have this problem. Last I saw one had to give over some billion worth in rights to the other or something along those lines. <br />
:::It just doesn't matter how people use the GNU FDL v1.2. Who cares? We go by the license and law, and that is the discussion (mostly). What the GNU FDL has been used for is not.<br />
:::I have said repeatedly that like Wikipedia's terms of use, law is. Of course things like licenses are interchangeable. What's not to read? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 14:28, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::"There is a conglomerate of companies..."<br />
::::How does this point have anything to do with your website? Your website is not a company and you and it have no ownership over the material others put on it. You have ownership of the database and the webserver (or at least the rental agreement if you rent).<br />
::::"We go by the license and law, and that is the discussion (mostly)"<br />
::::What law? The one I showed was clearly false? Again, I ask very simply: explain how you actually think authorship and licensing works (with regard to this wiki). It seems you are either unwilling or unable to back up your claims, which isn't surprising considering that they hold no weight whatsoever.<br />
::::"I have said repeatedly that like Wikipedia's terms of use, law is."<br />
::::Since the following sentences probably hinge on that one, I'm just going to have to ask you to rephrase it. From the way I read it: "I have said repeatedly that, similar to Wikipedia's terms of use, law is an entity that exists". Which is true... But it doesn't really say anything worthwhile. I could say something similar and it would have just as much meaning to me: I have said repeatedly that like Wikipedia's terms of use, bacon is. --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 14:57, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
::::PS. If you really do follow wikipedia's rules, then you broke them by reverting my edit. See [[w:Wikipedia:TPO]].<br />
<br />
:::::I know. It's just an interesting story. That, though, is the only way whatever you are talking about is possible. D&D Wiki licenses content, like Wikipedia (see their Terms of Use). What's not to understand? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 15:04, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::"D&D Wiki licenses content"<br />
::::::From whom? Licenses need to be granted by some entity by definition... Yes. You just argued my point for me. You still haven't explained how you think it actually works though (yes, this is my third time asking on this page alone). --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 15:12, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::No, your not thinking about this. How does Wikipedia do it? They are only reserved. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 15:14, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::I will entertain your questions even though you won't answer mine. I'm not sure which terms of use you want to to explain (the old one that uses GNU FDL 1.2 or the new one that uses GNU FDL 1.3. I'll explain the one that matters<br />
<br />
::::::::'''GNU FDL 1.2 (last revision found at [[w:Wikipedia:Terms_of_use&oldid=30325726]]):'''<br />
::::::::After all the boring text telling us that every page is protected under US copyright laws, you are bound to the terms even if you don't read them, that pages are licensed under GNU FDL 1.2, and that page histories meet the terms of the GNU FDL, there is a wonderful gem of bolded text (which I'm going to bold the important part in my quote below).<br />
::::::::"you are hereby being given notice under Title 17 USC that it is your responsibility to comply with the copyright laws in regards to this archival material and your copying it may be considered infringement ('''specifically if any of the materials being stored in those prior versions are copyrighted materials that were submitted to Wikipedia without the author/authors or copyright holder's/holders' permission(s)''')."<br />
::::::::Huh? The author has to give permission to have it put on Wikipedia? It's almost as if the author has rights to their own work! You know, like the right to license their work as they see fit. Note also that the terms of use do not have any such mention of forgoing the author's right to relicense their own work. It just talks about the fact that you can't take materials that have a copyright and add the GNU FDL license without having the author's consent.<br />
<br />
::::::::Now for the GNU FDL 1.3, there is little point in explaining because we have already determined that this wiki does not use that license anyways, but if it did, a CC-by-SA license can be added to ''other author's'' work. Yeah, if this site was GNU FDL 1.3 that would just mean that moving content and relicensing would not require the author's consent.<br />
<br />
::::::::Attempt #4: Care to explain how you think it works (and maybe throw in some specific quotes to support your argument this time)? --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 15:37, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::'''Do not submit copyrighted work without permission!''' &mdash; what's not to understand? The adherence to the license? "you are bound to the terms even if you don't read them, that pages are licensed under GNU FDL 1.2" --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 15:41, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::You aren't getting it. Whose permission is required for copyrighted work? All you are pointing out is exactly what I just said: you can't submit the copyrighted work of others'. You can totally submit your own copyrighted work because you obviously have your own permission. --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 15:47, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::Your not getting it. "you are bound to the terms even if you don't read them", meaning that you are bound to the terms. With regard to copyrighting through the USA Copyright Office, a different scenario, was it done? And I think Wikipedia's Terms of Use cover that to some extend now. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 16:19, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::::Can I link to an external site (the US Copyright Office site)? On their FAQ, you will clearly see the following text:<br />
::::::::::::"Do I have to register with your office to be protected? No. In general, registration is voluntary. Copyright exists from the moment the work is created. You will have to register, however, if you wish to bring a lawsuit for infringement of a U.S. work."<br />
::::::::::::So, I don't see what the copyright office has to do with anything.<br />
::::::::::::I totally agree that Terms of Use function in a way that makes them binding even if they are not read. But the fact of the matter is, anything I write is copyrighted (by me), and I can license that work as I see fit. You agree that the GNU FDL is a license, not a contract, right (this is a VERY important distinction)? --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 16:46, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::::I mean previously copyrighted work. And, no, submitting it here licenses it. For example: "Therefore, for any text you hold the copyright to, by submitting it, you agree to license it under the". --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 16:50, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
{{Discussion Indentation Revert}}<br />
<br />
:Previously copyrighted work is not a big deal either because none of the content that was moved was copyrighted by someone who didn't hold the copyright.<br />
:Just to be perfectly clear: you agree the GNU FDL is a license, not a contract, yes or no? --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 17:02, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::I think the problem is GD thinks licensing content here grants DandWiki ''exclusive'' license to the content. It doesn't. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 17:06, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Indeed. Exclusive licenses require a contract, which this website does not have. That's what I was getting to ''';)'''. --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 17:12, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::It doesn't. See also the [[Coin Golem (3.5e Creature)]]. All I am saying is there is a licensing problem (as it ''is'' the GNU FDL v1.2) which undermines D&D Wiki in various ways if it is not that license. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:45, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::Right. But the point of the GNU FDL is not for authors, it is for collaborators. The author is licensing a ''copy'' of their work (whatever it may be) under the GNU FDL. It is not an exclusive license. That ''copy'' must follow all the rules and regulations of the GNU FDL. If the same user decides they want to license their work under a different license, they don't have to pay any attention to the GNU FDL because they are licensing a completely separate ''copy'' -- even if the content is exactly the same. --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 17:56, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::No. For example "Therefore, for any text you hold the copyright to, by submitting it, you agree to license it under the" --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 19:42, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::You are correct. When you submit content you are agreeing to license it under the GNU FDL v1.2. However, you are ''not'' agreeing to ''exclusively'' license it under the GNU FDL v1.2, ''nor are you giving up your copyright''. You are free to release it under other licenses (which may have other conditions), to other people, whenever you want. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 12:56, 31 May 2011 (MDT)<br />

I recently posted a race, but cannot find it when I go through the Homebrew races for 3.5e. Did I not post it correctly? The name of the race is Kyree (plural).<br />

:I'm pretty sure I fixed it. You left the <!- and -!> on in the category sections. I also fixed a few other problems on the page without changing any of your work.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 02:21, 2 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Keran (3.5e Races) ==<br />
<br />
Why have you recently edited the names of many of my races from "Race Name (Keran Race)" to "Race Name, Keran (3.5e Race)"? In my opinion it was unnecessary and I am confused to why you did it?--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:06, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Races should be labeled as "Race". I added "Keran" to some to distinguish them as part of [[Blades Of Keran (3.5e Campaign Setting)|Blades Of Keran]] where their was already something of the same name. How they used to be named made a problem on the dynamic race pages. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:09, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Didn't notice the problems. And if thats so then why not rename all of them? Also some of what you renamed doesn't have Keran in the title. --[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:18, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::I guess I can. Some don't have "Keran" because I was not certain if you want it there or not. It doesn't need to be (the reason for the some was that it makes sense to not have variant attached to the page), but they all can have "Keran" present. I am uncertain. I'm actually working on the disambiguation page [[Elf]] and didn't do the others as such. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:21, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::So why did they need to say 3.5e? I didn't think they required it to be 3.5e.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:36, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::I put that there because they use 3.5e rules. I think I am confused. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:39, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::You didn't do that for other Disambiguations. For example [[Fighter|Fighter]].--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:43, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::I'm not understanding what your saying. I have not yet saved [[Elf]], if that helps at all. I was actually talking about the Keran races I moved above. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:45, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::I was more asking why do they need to be (3.5e Race) for disambiguation. Also if it is just because of it is 3.5 material then shouldn't Cora races also be changed?.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:55, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::Yes, it is because it is 3.5e material. I am doing it because disambiguation pages require alphabetization and moving them now makes it much smoother. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:57, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::Okay. But how come the elves now don't have Keran as part of the page title? Not that thats a problem just wondering. Because you changed the name for the Lizardfolk as well (I'm guessing for the same reasons as the Elves) but they still have the Keran as part of there title.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 02:13, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::I did that because the lizardfolk had other lizardfolk races with the same name present. I can do that for the elves, which were the only elves with that name, if you want. It's your call. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 18:36, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />

== Prestige Base Classes ==<br />
<br />
In Blades Of Keran I was going to create new prestige classes. The only problem is that I want my prestige classes to like a Base Class with slight requirements. And as I wanted to make them full base classes, I was hoping to give them a full 1-20 level progression without having to use Epic Level Rules. So would they be still classed as Prestige Classes?--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 23:10, 24 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:No. They would not work with [[SRD:Multiclass Characters]]. Making a [[3.5e Rules|rule]] about them and linking them from that page would be appropriate. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:19, 25 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Creating an Infrastructure Category for SRD Pages ==<br />
<br />
I was working on a sortable DPL for 3.5e SRD Creatures (as an example for what we could do for 3e Monsters), and I came across a problem. It seems that we have pages like "Evil Creatures" marked as "Creatures", which naturally creates a problem when making a DPL of all creatures. My solution to this would be one of two options: Remove "Creatures" category from pages like "Evil Creatures", or create a new category like "SRD Infrastructure", which we could add to all pages like "Evil Creatures" that are labeled "Creature" but aren't actually creatures. We already have a category by that name, so we'd need to name it something else, but the idea stands. What are your thoughts? --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 22:51, 26 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Or just remove [[:Category:Creature]] from that page and replace it with [[:Category:Creature List]]? If it's a widespread problem an infrastructure category may make more sense though. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 23:04, 26 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Ehh, I've just figured out a way to do what I wanted to do without having to change anything. I'm not sure if it is a better solution (efficiency-wise), but it's less work in the present, so I like it well enough. Do you know much about DPL tables? I'm trying to figure out how to insert text into a cell that with an empty parameter (similar to how we have NFR or NR for classes that aren't fully rated on the 3.5e Class Homebrew table). Do you know how to do that, or better yet, do you know of a website that would be able to teach me how? --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 23:39, 26 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::I know some about dpl's. An empty parameter? You could just do something like <tt><code><nowiki>|include={<!-template->}:noneparam:<!-include1->, etc</nowiki></code></tt>. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 23:53, 26 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::I don't think that's quite what I'm trying to do. If you check out [[User:Badger/sandbox12|my attempt]], you'll notice that entries like "Air Elemental" have blank spaces in the table. That is because they have multiple copies of the template I am querying on the page, so it won't return anything. My plan was to make it so if the box for "CR" was empty, the table would put in some line of text like "Varies". That way there would be no empty cells in the table. I'm still trying to get the hang of DPLs, so I'm not sure what code does what. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:03, 27 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::Nevermind, I don't need to do that for this list anymore, but if you know of a useful resource I'd love to get it. My google searches aren't as helpful as I'd like them to be. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:20, 27 June 2011 (MDT)<br />

== Marroar and his torrent of unbalancing ==<br />
<br />
You'll probably have already noticed and what not, but it's beginning to bug me. I noticed a guy named [[User:Marroar|Marroar]] with edits all over the place, mostly tiny ones, but hundreds of them. It seems like everything he touches becomes unbalanced as anything, particularly with some changes he tried to make to a race of my original creation, and even seen more so at [[Dragon Rider (3.5e Class)|Dragon Rider]], in which the nearly the entire history is tiny, horrible alterations to an already sketchy class, including some that go completely against the fundamental functions of the class page, like giving out ability adjustments just for taking the class. You'll see what I mean, if you look at it. Not sure if he's just a spammer or just really bad at this stuff, or just trying to con his DM or something. It's just bothersome to have some guy scurrying about waving broken-ness all over the place. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 05:07, 10 July 2011 (MDT)<br />

Greetings, is there a place I can ask questions on here for specific things? As in help on characer creation or ideas for part of a campaign world I am creating? The only place I can think of for stuff like this is the sandbox but.. I highly doubt anyone will actually comment on anything I say or ask. That aside, do you know of any place I can chat with people about these things in real time? I am joining a gestalt campaign here in a few days and have questions regarding item creation, but due to the time between now and actual play, I would like to get feedback instantly versus a few hours to days. Otherwise this wouldnt bother me. Thanks for your time in reading this and even more so if you reply. [[User:Lyrad8791|Lyrad8791]] 23:11, 3 August 2011 (MDT)<br />

This spring I created the [[Enlightened Soul]] prestige class for 3.5.

== A question about deletion ==<br />
<br />
So, I was just wondering, what are our policies on deleting "completed" material? Is there a minimum rating a "finished" class must have, or face deletion? If the general consensus on the discussion page is "make it go away", and it's been at least two weeks, can I delete it without hesitation? --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 15:50, 23 August 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Not if there is enough content to be playable. Can one play with a few class features for the starting levels? Probably (and then they could improve the class from that stage).<br />
:Anyone can add {{tl|delete}} so criteria is present for the deletion of that content. If you did delete content which was playable you should go back and restore it. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 19:03, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::I'm just looking at classes, like [[Anti-Christ_(3.5e_Class)|this one]], that have been marked for deletion for months. It is marked as a base class, but should be moved to prestige class if we intend to keep it. Anyway, it has class features all spelled out, but it's a mess of formatting, there is virtually no fluff, and the vast majority of the ratings (at least, the ones I trust) have said horrible things about the class. I see no reason why we should bother to keep this class, especially since it has had no productive edits since 2009. However, if you feel this is the type of content you want to keep around, I can just move it to prestige class and swap out <nowiki> {{delete}} for {{wikify}}</nowiki>. In my opinion we should have some sort of "this isn't going to get better and it is terrible now, we might as well trash it" policy. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 19:41, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Yes, there is enough content there to keep it. Is it correct? No, it needs work. Things should (if you have enough time please help) work more correctly with the [[Meta Pages#Improving, Reviewing, and Removing Articles|improving, reviewing, and removing articles]] templates. This means that those which do not work should be moved to a separate section (like [[DnD Base Classes]]) and those that do are to be more easily accessible. This removes problems such as [[Anti-Christ_(3.5e_Class)|Anti-Christ]] however leaves it enough room for it to be improved upon. If you have deleted others which are playable (I have found a few, however I have not looked well) please restore those pages. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 20:00, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::I think I've been pretty careful about deleting content that wasn't up to snuff. I know we disagree on that Taco article, but that may be because it was an April fool's class, and I figured that no one but the original creator would bother to write more fluff for it (it is my opinion that one joke doesn't make a joke page, and that page had very few). I can't think of any pages that I've deleted that were questionable. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 20:09, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::I may look more, however you could be rather correct. That was one I found, as well as one with a history earlier then the deletion template was added then was removed to make for the delete template. That was probably just a oversight problem on your part though. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 21:34, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />

==Jedi base class, prestige class, d20, consolidation==<br />
I stumbled upon the Jedi class here, and although certain aspects of Star Wars should remain out of D&D, I still think the philosophy and characterization is a good thing for roleplaying in the D&D universe, even if the flashy too powerful lightsaber doesn't belong in the hands of a starting character. <br/>I see this class as a fusion of a Paladin and a Monk and a Psion. I don't normally edit here, but I wanted to get started something that cleared up the problem of a start class Jedi. I think that is very wrong, it should take a longer time than than to get there, but I don't think a Padawan class makes sense either as it requires a Master Jedi. Then again, training characters is common, from level to level and for skills and skill improvement, so a Padawan Class might also work. <br/>I started this and hopefully you know of people who are interested in developing it: '''[[Jedi (3.5e Prestige Class)]]'''<br/><br />
I would like to eventually see these base class Jedi removed in favor of Prestige classes.<br />

There was no way to change the start date. I don't know if changing the range to 30 days mattered or not, since it still started with "Today".<br />
I think I can safely assume that no changes have been made in the last 16 hours, so the fact that it didn't list any changes means nothing.<br />
<br />
Keep up the good work. :)<br />

== Warning policy rework ==<br />

I'm working on an official warning policy that should more clearly illustrate the purposes of the system. The new policy can be found [[User:Badger/sandbox13|here]].

== Enlightened Soul BAB and save issues ==<br />
<br />
You placed a notice on the [[#enlightened soul (3.5e prestige class)|enlightened soul]] stating that it did not adhere to wiki formatting, as the table does not have BAB and saves listed. While this is accurate, it is also an epic prestige class, and as such adheres to epic rules in this regard. I felt uncomfortable taking down the notice myself, but would highly appreciate it if you would, or leave a fuller explanation why it would be necessary in the talk section. Thanks for your time and your hard work. --[[User:Lefthandroger|Lefthandroger]] 15:31, 6 September 2011 (MDT)<br />

Is there any chance that it might be featured article material, or, barring that, at least high enough quality to warrant a proper review?

== Can Spammers be a 4e Race? ==<br />
<br />
I'm tired of the non-paid advertising put on this site. I was wondering, therefore, if it would be okay if I create a race out of these 'spammers', a.k.a. those whose only purpose on this site is to make it their own free commercial. Or would that be against the warning policy? I wouldn't say or write anything threatening or offensive, although the people sending spam should be criticized for a lack of decency. It's a shame that such a good site is being infiltrated by these advertisements, and it's also a shame to all companies who rightfully ''pay'' to have a product advertised instead of taking advantage of the internet. Anyways, I just wanted to know whether or not I could create a scathing "Spammer (4e Race)" If not, then that's okay. (Also note, I won't be able to be on the site for the next two days, but after that I would have all the time in the world to create the race, if it's acceptable.) --[[User:Obake|Obake]] 20:04, 30 September 2011 (MDT)<br />

Hey green dragon. It's me, Dj00345. Since I created the 2.5e Homebrew, I have been watching the recent changes log to see if anyone creates anything for the 2.5e Homebrew. I just fixed one page created by someone, they forgot the categories that would link it to a certain page, I was wondering if I can do that for any 2.5e page that doesn't make it to the right places??? Apparently when I created the Homebrew, something happened that screwed things up. Just wanted to let you know. [[User:Dj00345|Dj00345]] 17:08, 7 October 2011 (MDT)<br />

== Restarting the Warmage ==<br />
<br />
Hey Green Dragon. I appreciate the effort on your part on keeping my idea from being deleted over the past couple of years. I've seriously neglected completing it, but to be honest I was in the process of creating powers as I posted the first information on the class over two years ago. I've recently happened upon my old notebooks and have been revising old powers I'd written there (but not posted here) and have reformed my approach to the class. I'm currently in school for Game Art and Design, so this is a wonderful outlet for my Systems Design work. As such, I'll be completing this class over the next few months.<br />

Again, I thank you for your unexpected patience in this matter.<br />

I know there is a discussion page for literally every thing in her, but they don't seam to be used that much (or am I just browsing the wrong subjects?).<br><br />

There fore I write to you as the first administrator I have detected and humbly ask if there is a place where I can ask people so go over my additions?<br><br />

== Formatting and licensing for transcriptions ==<br />
<br />
Greetings-<br />
I've been working on and off on transcribing one of Mongoose Publishing's books in the Quintessential series ([[The Quintessential Monk]]). I'm pretty sure I've been getting the formatting in acceptable shape, but would love someone with an experienced eye to take a look. However, the main question I have is about the OGL. I've been taking the "please help transcribe" tags on [[3.5e_Open_Game_Content|this]] page at face value, and have basically been doing just that: a word-for-word transcription. Are there exceptions or limitations to what can and can't be legally duplicated on the internet? I'm not very clear on how the OGL works. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. --[[User:Klichka|Klichka]] 17:21, 6 December 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:The formatting works. The ideal is like [[Crime and Punishment - The Players Sourcebook of the Law]] with the links but if you don't do it like that someone will come along eventually and format it like that.<br />
:You can post every word. The exceptions are Product Identity which basically can only be used by Wizards anyway. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:58, 10 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== Looking for advice... and help. ==<br />
<br />
I have built a few things here on the D&DWiki page, all under the 3.5 sections; (Jachyrines, Matter Shifter, Velloreans, SoulChain Warrior, Slithzirkhai and a few others).<br />
<br />
I am trying to find someone who can look these over and tell me if I have over-powered them or made the Level Adjustment on the races right.<br />
<br />
Also, I am looking at building two "mirror" 3.5 classes, the Lunarian and Solarian... Basically mages that draw their power from the Moon and Sun, respectively. I am wanting to do it up like the psion with "Spell Points" vs a set number of spells per day, so they have like a set amoung of "Lunar Power" or "Solar Power" to cast spells with. Its just I want to make sure I go about it right, so if you know of anyone who can give me advice on how to go about this without overpowering it, but not making it completely weak and useless, that'd be great. And yes, they'd each have powers they gain on certain levels related to their source of power.<br />
<br />
Also, is there any word on getting the small book "Secret College of Necromancy" transcribed into the site? I used to own it, my ex lost it, and now I can't find a new one. Just curious.<br />
<br />
Many Thanks for any help;<br />

== Redirect ==<br />
<br />
Um, the redirect isn't working properly. I want to move my <s>User: Axl/My Sandbox/4e Future Power</s> to [[User: Axl/My Sandbox/4e Future Power Preload]], but it already has that name as a redirect. While I was trying to move it, I clicked the cancel button on my browser so that I could change it to the latter link, but it instead goes to the former when I click on the link. Can this be fixed, and when is the 4e Power creator going to be fixed? The reason why I created the 4e Future Power Preload was so that I would not have to type out the links that say <!-[[Main Page]] &rarr; [[4e Homebrew|Homebrew]] &rarr;-> etc. What I'll do is I'll create a breadcrumb that I'll just type into the power while I'm creating it, but could you fix the redirect? Thanks. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 17:30, 24 December 2011 (MST)<br />

== Fixing double redirects ==<br />
<br />
There are quite a few double redirects to be cleaned up manually, and they have been accumulating far faster than they have been fixed manually. Due to this, I was wondering if it would be worth it to have a programming adept wiki user, or hire somebody in your area to design a program to automatically fix the problem by cleaning up double redirects. I'm fairly certain Wikipedia has a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Computer_help_desk/double_redirect_study form of this]. Would it be possible to base the program off a similar idea? With the number of double redirects growing it may be worth investing the time. On a similar note, if a program like this is made, would it be possible to alter it slightly to perform other menial tasks around the wiki such as moving (DnD) pages to their respective edition? I realize many of them have already been moved, however some are still in the wrong places. --[[Special:Contributions/173.245.55.116|173.245.55.116]] 22:05, 8 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== Flaw submission problem ==<br />
<br />
Hi Green Dragon,<br />
Just signed up for D&D Wiki, though I've been here before.<br />
I'm trying to submit a character flaw, and the only thing that shows up on the character flaws page is the title, but none of the description and whatnot. Am I doing something wrong, or do the submissions have to be reviewed first? I'll paste the flaw here so maybe you can tell me if the coding is wrong or something... Thanks! =edit= Pasted it in and only that one line shows up.. Argh..<br />
<br />
{{3.5e Flaw <br />
|name= Large Breasts <br />
|types= General <br />
|summary= Generally, your large breasts tend to get in the way. <br />
|drawback= For whatever reason, your character has been quite well -ahem- endowed. As a result, ever since coming of age your character has noticed a few drawbacks. For one, any Acrobatic checks the character makes take a -5 penalty. The penalty is increased by 1 for each cup size the female has above D.<br />
Additionally, any time the character needs to squeeze through a tight spot, her breasts will get in the way again. Any time she has to squeeze through a small tunnel, doorway, escape through a small window, or even push her way through a group of people, she must make an Escape artist check equal to 10 + 1/2 her character level rounded down. The same rule of 1 added to the DC for each size larger than D cup size applies here as well. <br />
|roleplay= Generally this can be used for humor's sake, or for misfortune's sake that is up to your DM and how good of a sense of humor he has. I was a very humorous DM with a gentleman who had a curvy female Ninja, and invariably he would mess up the acrobatics roll, so we started joking about her breasts getting in the way, hence this flaw's creation; "Well Dustin, because you chose to build such a well rounded character... Would you care to roll your acrobatics check to jump from that rooftop to the next? A 19. Well normally that jump's DC would be 15. However, since you built such a 'well rounded' character, your DC was 21 because of her DD size chest you keep bragging about. Well luckily you did make the jump, but because of the unequal weight distribution, your character takes a bit of a tumble upon landing, and doesn't land on her feet but rather her stomach and face. She isn't hurt, well, maybe her pride is". <br />
<!-- Delete any of the following if they are not used --><br />
|prereqs= Must be FEMALE, Must have breasts of D size or greater <br />
|benefit= This flaw gives two benefits: 1 extra feat, and a +2 on Diplomacy checks with any male or female who is attracted to your character<br />
|normal=<br />
|special= The +2 to Diplomacy only works if your character has 16 Charisma or higher!<br />
}}<br />

<br />
::::::I could understand if the feat was blatantly offensive to a reasonable person(happens to be the definition of pornography in the US, as far as the law is concerned), but if a feat is of an adult theme, and well written, I see no way that removing it would improve the wiki. In the above mentioned feat, I feel it is poorly written, but maintains good taste, if a little tongue in cheek. Also, if someone were to desire to make an anime themed character, such traits would really help flesh it out(pun intended). --[[User:Ganre|Ganre]] 15:06, 29 March 2012 (MDT)<br />

<br />
::::::::It is my understanding that we do not yield to moral, ethical, or social quandaries of any single user, with the content on this site, in regards to the subject matter of the content. Slap an adult disclaimer on the page to fulfill our obligations towards younger or inappropriate audiences, and if Axl wants to propose deletion, let him be met by the community. Otherwise, it'd stay as it is, I believe. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 19:53, 29 March 2012 (MDT)<br />

==Review Request System==<br />
<br />
I've noticed that it can be somewhat difficult to get reviews on user content, usually requiring contacting individual reviewers to ask for a review. Now, this system does work, but it is far from optimal, especially for newer users on the wiki. What I propose is a new template, say, <nowiki>{{requestreview}}</nowiki>, that would effectively generate a list of completed pages that the author would like feedback on. I don't know a lot about templates, but I don't think it should be especially difficult to start this up. It is my opinion that we'll end up with higher-quality pages overall if we do this. What do you think? -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 13:20, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:That's not a bad idea (and it'd be really easy to implement -- just have the template add pages to [[:Category:NeedsReview]] or whatever). I see two flaws with it though. 1) a lot of people who post content... don't exactly stick around. We'd need some sort of criteria for removing pages from the category. This shouldn't be a big issue, really. 2) as I've argued [[Discussion:I think it's time to change the rating system|here]], the rating system is very much messed up and in need of a fix. We really should fix that before we ask people to use it. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 14:00, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::The first issue could be fixed fairly easily, with a bot that removes the template if it was added over two weeks ago, although I don't know it that is feasible. Thus abandoned pages, or pages that have been rated, would drop off the list in two weeks.<br />
<br />
::I agree with you about the rating system being messed up, but it does provide a way to get feedback on pages. That is to say, it may not work well, but it's better than nothing. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 14:43, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::I changed the protection for [[Template:Reviewing Template]]. Feel free to add a requestreview template and then I will lock it up again. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 15:08, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::Okay, I think I did it right, but I'm not sure. I used the others as a guide for formatting, so it should work okay, but I'm notoriously bad at coding. My apologies if I broke the page. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 16:21, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::I locked [[Template:Reviewing Template]] back up. It looks good, and I think that after someone reviews the page the template can get removed. I don't think that we need a time frame. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:13, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::::I'm not sure you understood the meaning behind the template. The idea was to provide a way for users to request feedback on a page through the rating system. I should have been more clear about that; looking back, I realize now that I wasn't at all clear about what I meant. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 08:40, 25 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />

So I recently created an optimized character build, a melee oriented Dread Necromancer, and I was wondering if you could help me clean it up a bit (with formatting and such). I would like it too look professional, and I simply lack the wiki know how to do so.<br />
<br />
Please and thank you, <br />

== Adding an SRD Class ==<br />
<br />
I would like to add the Favored Soul class to the wiki. How would I go about doing so?<br />
<br />
:The Favored Soul from [[Complete Divine]] is not licensed under the [[Open Game License v1.0a|OGL]] so it cannot be posted here. If you want to, however, you can make more [[Publication List|publications]] look like Complete Divine therefore being more useable. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 10:26, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::I assume you mean going into books like [[Magic of Incarnum|Magic of Incarnum]] and updating some of the pertinent information there?--[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 10:32, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::Right. That is the closest we can get to letting people know about classes such as the Favored Soul. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 10:39, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::: Got it. I will start on that one. Thanks! --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 10:40, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::Could you do me a favor and check the [[Publication List|publications]] I have updated, please. I want to make sure I am doing the right thing before I continue with any others. The list of what I have worked on is on my user page. --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 09:57, 6 March 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::::The publications that you improved are much better. You are definitely doing the right thing. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 09:53, 8 March 2012 (MST)<br />

== Changing the Feat Section ==<br />
<br />
I have a suggestion GD. I noticed while adding 3.5e feats they don't instantly add to the tables, I checked the code and noticed that each feat has to placed into the table. Wouldn't it be faster and more efficent for adding new feats if it worked like the Spell List section?--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 07:01, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Yes. Some of those pages are very old and are not dynamic. Others, however, are. For example [[DnD Heritage Feats]] is the most useful version, but problems still exist (why are there those "&mdash;"'s at the end). Yes, they should all be updated to the DnD Heritage Feats. Also [[Template:3e Feat Table Row Test L2]] needs to be corrected (that is where the problem is coming from). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 10:54, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::GD, while we are on the subject of feats, is there a way we can add feats from the other published items, i.e. [[Complete Divine]] to the Feat tables, or are we going to keep those seperate? --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 11:07, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::Since they cannot be used in a game (the mechanics are not present) we will not. Feats from [[3.5e Open Game Content]] are supposed to be added, though. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:40, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::What if we added the mechanics? Or can we? Maybe I am just confused. --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 11:47, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::We cannot add the mechanics. They are not licensed under an appropriate license, notably the [[Open Game License v1.0a|OGL]]. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:50, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::::OK, I will stick with the brief summaries. --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 11:52, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::::Brief quotes (research papers do this) or summaries (think about movie summaries for example) should be fine. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 14:00, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Race creation ==<br />
<br />
Hey, I'm sorry for writing on your little guied line page. I'm a bit confused on where I'm soupose to start the creation. You see, the setting isint the same as I last visited. Whenever I type in a name for my race I'm sent to the guide line page. I'm not sure where to start my race page. After being sent to guide lines page where do I go?<br />
<br />
:After using the inputbox on [[4e Races]] can you scroll to the bottom of that page and is there then an edit box? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:53, 12 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Campaign dieties ==<br />
<br />
GD, I know yo have been adding dieties, but I was wondering if there is a particular place where dieties such as Reorx from Dragonlance, Dol Darn from Eberron, or even Lolth from the Realms be listed? Would I create a "pantheon" on your handy-dandy dieties page and specify "Dragonlance Dieties" and list them or do yo have a better suggestion? --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 10:09, 22 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:You can make a pantheon for them. Please, however, do not add the deities since they are not OGC. Take a look at [[Outer Planes (3.5e Environment)]] for inspiration on completing such a task while keeping it within the licensing situation. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 10:16, 22 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::I am sorry, but I am going to need some clarification. I can make the pantheon and list their names and a brief summary, or don't even mention their names? If I can submit the pantheon, would it look a bit like what Wikipedia has if you typed in "Dragonlance Dieties?" --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 10:49, 22 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::You can mention their names. Yes, "Dragonlance Deities" is great information, but I don't think that is a pantheon. Start with a pantheon and then we can talk about the individual deities.<br />
:::The wording does not need to be just a "brief summary". As long as you wrote it (or it is licensed appropriately) you can write it, like [[Outer Planes (3.5e Environment)]], explaining the situation to the unknowing reader. Using this wording you will be able to cover the topic well enough, I think. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:01, 22 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::Well, for Dragonlance there are twenty-five dieties for most ages, and that number drops by one during the Age of Mortals. Dwarves don't believe in one set, elves another etc. It really is one pantheon. I will create a page as an example, and if it doesn't work, we can delete it, and my feelings won't be hurt. That work for you? --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 11:17, 22 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::That's fine, and if it is a pantheon then I am wrong&ndash; but that does not mean your page will be wrong. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:19, 22 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Deletions ==<br />
<br />
Hi Green Dragon, if I can just get a clarification on what I've been calling "only author requests deletion" (which has mostly been cases where a contributor realizes they've made some fundamental mistake, and no other contributors have been involved). If I understand correctly 1) This is okay as long as it's gone through the normal minimum 2 weeks of being tagged for deletion without being contested, and 2) "only contributor requests deletion" ''itself'' isn't a deletion rationale - the article must be considered on its own merits. Correct?<br />
<br />
Thanks again for your support and advice. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 13:41, 29 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
Also... ''so much spam removed!'' I feel like I'm doing spring cleaning. Still a lot to do though. If you get chance, I advise looking into an alternative to reCaptcha, as apparently the spambot writers have found an exploit in it. This is why so many forums and wikis that use reCaptcha have been hit hard by spam from January onwards. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 13:46, 29 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:I already mentioned this on Marasmusine's [[User_Talk:Marasmusine|talk]] page, but there's a reCapcha alternative that uses a different system. Perhaps if we used both systems that would help. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 14:24, 29 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::The page must be considered on its own merits. Keep in mind "I want this done", "it should be so", etc are not legitimate reasons. Deletion is about the page&ndash; we don't care what people think (it would make for too many situations where subjectivity rules). For example please see [[Blackstone Knight (3.5e Class)]].<br />
::I'll see what is a good route for this spam problem. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 08:56, 2 March 2012 (MST)<br />
:::Oki doki. I've been at Wikipedia so long that their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion speedy deletion] process is ingrained in me (in this case, their criteria G7). Clearly some of these criteria we do have (G11 for spam, and I would hope G10 and G12. Also G9 would effectively be your right as site owner) but I will otherwise adjust my thinking :)<br />
:::On a related note, at Wikipedia an admin wouldn't delete an article that they themselves proposed for deletion. That way at least two users have reviewed an article before it's removed. Similarly, I don't intend to delete anything at [[:Category:Candidates for Deletion]] that I've personally tagged (unless you think that's OK). [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 01:53, 3 March 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::Ya, all those speedy deletion reasons seem pretty good.<br />
::::I would wait and see what happens to the pages you make candidates. If their reason is a speedy deletion reason then I would encourage the opposite behavior of waiting, but in other instances it makes sense. Use precedents when possible and if there are no precedents then use your judgement I guess. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 05:27, 3 March 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::Honestly, if we kept by a policy that you can't delete anything that you've tagged, the category would never get cleaned up. For instance, a while back I went through a bunch of the d20 Modern stuff to add deletion tags; there's not really anyone else on the wiki who's into d20 Modern, so nobody commented on the deletion tags. I just waited significantly longer than the traditional 2 weeks before deleting anything. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 08:02, 10 March 2012 (MST)<br />

== What am I doing wrong with starting discussions? ==<br />
<br />
GD, I know I had this issue before, and thought I fixed it. Why aren't my discussions showing up in the table? I follow all instructions as far as creating them, but for some reason it will not show up in the table. Here's what I tried to put in today: [[Discussion:Has anyone played the Dragonheart Mage Prestige?]]. Thanks. --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 09:54, 6 March 2012 (MST)<br />

== Unblock an IP ==<br />
<br />
Hi GD, [[User:Geomax]] contacted me saying his IP is blocked. His actual account isn't blocked but I don't think I have the permissions to check is IP. Can you look into this? Thanks. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 00:49, 7 March 2012 (MST)<br />

The Tirr Campaign is a work in progress. Please stop vandalizing and removing its campaign specific pages. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 17:33, 21 March 2012 (MDT)<br />

:No pages have removed. They have been moved. I should have dealt with the links. See also [[3.5e Environments]]. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:08, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Those are campaign specific pages, and you're moving them to generic environment and deity categories, as well as changing names of pages to names that are incorrect and do not reflect the nature of the pages (Such as the Pantheon of Tirr), and you have not followed through on every conversion, as some links remain unchanged, even if you seemed to have reason for what you're doing. As I've seen, there have been no rules or guideline changes that support your actions, and you've only targeted the Tirr Campaign, and only few categories of pages, so any claim to otherwise is not supported by your actions. As such, your actions should be considered vandalism. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 02:10, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />

<br />
:::::Since you have deleted said pages, I cannot see their history; Before the unnecessary moving and deleting, and after it, I was essentially the only contributor with the exception of your supposed corrections.

<br />
::::::I've taken this discussion primarily to the [[Talk:Main Page|Main Page]] to gain perspective and forum, as well as to make suggestion in order to achieve clarification regarding this matter. I reserve further discussion for that. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 07:27, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::1) check the history before stating such things. 2) Do not bring discussions to the main page about a certain campaign setting (how do those relate?). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 13:24, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::Your edits on the recent changes page, regarding the deleted pages, are a part of the history, I assume. I cannot check the articles history when it has been deleted, but your statement as reason for a deletion is what I was referring to. Secondly, the discussion on the main pages is regarding the policies of campaign settings in general, though you know that, now. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 14:56, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />

<br />
::::::::::It is largely irrelevant, now, though I appreciate the offer.

Now that I understand his actions, it is unnecessary. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 15:04, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::Ok. The only thing I could find that he deleted were the redirect pages that were created when he moved pages. In this case the "and the only contributor was Green Dragon" text that comes up is automatic from the system, not something GD would have added himself. Moving and removing pages can get a little weird sometimes. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 15:12, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />

::::::::::::Thank you. I will keep that in mind, in the future. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 15:21, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::::Histories are moved with the pages. Try it sometime. Look at a page's history, move it, and see what happens to the history. It will all go to the new location, the moving history will be added, and the old page will get a new history (the moved history).

:This happens periodically and it's always the same: by posting to this website you are giving up full control of your work. It is not a depository of copyrighted information, it is a collaborative work environment. Every time you edit you agree to the disclaimer "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." There's been legal arguments back and forth, but short of a real copyright lawyer sending cease and desist letters the outcome will be the same as it always has been: "not wanting something" is not a good enough reason to delete any page on the wiki. If it can be deleted for any reason listed in our deletion policy, then and only then can it be a candidate for deletion. (Note that even when you delete something it is still accessible. Admins can read every edit of every deleted page ever put on the wiki. Even if you ''did'' have copyright over the things you submit the software won't allow us to permanently delete something so we still are in violation of copyright.) Note that IANAL, but the policy's been this way from the get-go, and I really don't anticipate Green Dragon changing it any time soon.

::I believe there was a clause in the v1.2 legislation that stated this only applied when "not the sole contributor of" the content; basically meaning that if you were the only editor of that specific page, it belonged to you. That said, I am not sure if that remains or of the status of the pages mentioned. Either way, given the unique nature of wiki machinations, copyright in regards to unpublished DnD content has an incredibly bleak level of enforceability, if there is such a word, and as above, nothing short of a legally binding cease and desist order will be effective if the administrator is in opposition to the removal. Whether we believe your content should be removed or not is irrelevant, in this case, I'm afraid, so I cannot offer help.

<br />
Hi GD, just want to confer with you on this one. I see [[Anti-Christ (3.5e Class)]] was briefly discussed above as an example of an article that is "complete" but universally derided. As it has now been tagged for deletion for over a year now without improvement, and no-one has contested the deletion proposal, I've gone ahead and removed it (and good riddance in my opinion). <br />
<br />
I'd like your opinion on that - I'll restore it if you think it needs to remain. Thanks, [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 03:05, 3 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Ya. If that page had been improved I may say don't, but it looks to me like someone just made it to but a lot of overpowered "dark" class features together to become a "critique on religion". Not only did it seem ineffective, it did not make use of D&D well and deletion seems warranted to me. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 08:15, 3 April 2012 (MDT)<br />

::Hah, yes, I've ''have'' been checking "what links here" but sometimes when there's a complete clusterflap of redirects I end up missing some.

== Wrongfully IP Blocked ==<br />
<br />
Hello friend, I attempted to make an account several days ago and was unable to until 4/5/2012, as apparently my IP specifically was blocked for 'spamming links' to outside sites. Unfortunately, I had no account to begin with until this moment here. So i'm unsure if someone was just using my IP to spam the D&D Wiki itself given I had no account at the time.<br />
<br />
As such, I was unable to communicate with any of the personnel (admins) until 4/5/2012+, I think it might be in the best interest to provide emails on the admin user pages that do not require me to go to user only pages should this arise for other individuals, when one doesn't have an account in the first place. I've been fairly patient and merely want to let you know about this. <br />
<br />

== Ursanare vital stats ==<br />
<br />
I found the Ursanare page and have decided to create a campaign that involves them. My problem for this is that the page dosen't include the ageing effects and random age/weight/height systems. I like to develop my NPCs based on these stats. If you could add that(or if you could let me do it), I would be grateful.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your time,<br />

== IP continues to randomly boost articles ==<br />
<br />
As the title states, we've been having a number of anonymous edits lately, boosting attributes of various races, classes, and even some flaws and feats. They're also removing templates from articles, such as balance concerns and April Fools' Disclaimers. The IP in question is 71.217.38.58. I know you've banned similar IPs, possibly the same person refreshing his addresses or something, but is there a way to take care of him, and if so, please do, if you've no qualms with doing so.

== Homebrew Disclaimer ==<br />
<br />
On a forum I frequent, there was a common complaint about this site, this complaint being that most new players get confused thinking that the homebrew material is WotC material. Would there be a way to place a disclaimer or similar on the homebrew pages. If so then I would assist in placing the disclaimer on the pages. <br />
<br />
This would likely increase the credibility of this site. --[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 02:30, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:So, at the moment, we have things the other way round, with the SRD pages having the disclaimer. "Homebrew" is mentioned in the breadcrumb at the bottom of homebrew pages, but do you think it would be better to have some kind of disclaimer at the top? [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 03:28, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::I am aware of the SRD in the Titles, the OGL templates, and the information at the bottom of every page. But it seems that isn't enough for others (not 100% sure why). I think it would be best for a disclaimer to be placed at the top of the homebrew pages.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 03:42, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Homebrew, is part of the name. Part of the category. Part of the very definition of the word, for Pete's sake. 'Homebrew' in and of itself means, 'Not WotC material'. Break it down. Just look at the word. 'Home' and 'Brew'. Combined. Or? "Made at home." Thus, 'Homebrew' ...Now? Your saying you already know this? Good. Thats good. (But!) ...Some people don't. And 'we', the community, need to post a disclaimer to help these stray puppies out. Right? Som because they don't understand the meaning of the word 'Homebrew', which is everywhere! You click on it. ...We need to do more work?! NO WAY. That's nuts! Let em' rot! If you are not educated enough to understand the meaning of the word 'Homebrew', you are not educated enough to be playing this game. Let alone participating in the building and development of this website. This community does not pander to mobs. (All yours GD. Take it away.) --[[User:Jay Freedman|Jay Freedman]] 03:45, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
::::I know where Milo is coming from though. I recently spoke to a player new to the game, interested in using one of our 3.5e classes, and I ''think'' she was under the impression that it was "offical". In this case the class was rather complicated and undefined in areas and she was disappointed when I suggested it would need an experienced player and DM to run. Still, I'm not sure how any amount of disclaimerage would help. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 04:04, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::Jay, while we understand the difference perfectly and see it as clear as day, it seems this is a huge problem in the eyes of the D&D Community. So if you don't want to help make this wiki a better site you shouldn't be the type of person allowed to participating in the building and development of this website.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 04:10, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::Milo. Your words wound me, my friend. Lets stay objective here. Your 'Forum Community' has a problem with this site. Not the D&D Community as a whole. Naughty naughty. Thus, you requested a massive change in size and scope. Come on. Let's be real here. If your 'Forum Community' can't understand the meaning of the word 'Homebrew'. Then no 'Disclaimer' this-side-of-Kansas is going to help them. I'm not insulting your friends. Just trying to avoid pasteing the words ''(Homebrew: Not WotC: Not SRD: 3.5e: Which is not 4e: Or 5e either:)'' ...above every article on the site. I have standards for intelligence. And my standard score for this website is +0 for rolled stats. Anything lower? And we shouldn't be pandering. --[[User:Jay Freedman|Jay Freedman]] 04:33, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::Jay, you don't seem to actually grasp the reason behind my suggestion. As it isn't intelligence that is the problem with the individuals. It is actually ignorance. People who have only recently started to play likely wouldn't notice the fact that the page doesn't have SRD in the title and might not have even heard of SRD, also they likely wouldn't read the footer of the page. <br />
<br />
:::::::As for this sites reputation, it is commonly known in the D&D community as being horrible. The reason I mention the forum I frequent is because it was a Thread on that forum that raised this suggestion. My forum community does understand the word Homebrew (which is evident as it has a Homebrew section), but the problem lies in the friends of them who are new to play the game and end up asking to use the homebrew material. --[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 04:46, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::Alright man. I can't convince you. I get it. But is it really our communities job as a DnD Wiki to educate every single new gamer in the universe? Edit every article again and again until the world 'gets it'. ...I'll let you pick your battles. Go ahead and fight the good fight. But I've been there man. ...And your walking a long and lonely road. No good dead goes unpunished eh? Good luck. --[[User:Jay Freedman|Jay Freedman]] 04:53, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::I agree with Jay on this. This wiki has a very short learning curve. If you come here, and read the help file, you will know these are not "Official". I don't think having a template, or even making the whole page bright red will educate them. Also, a template at the top of just about every article would be hideous. --[[User:Ganre|Ganre]] 07:01, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::Strangely I have been on this site for 4 years and has never been on any of the help pages. And this wiki's learning curve is rather flat, it expects everyone to already understand what SRD and Homebrew. While that is generally fine, most people outside of this site see this as a serious problem. As for the look, it wouldn't be like a Deletion Template, I was thinking more the OGL Top template. I suggest it says something such as ''The following content is unofficial content and is not endorsed by Wizards of the Coast.'' that at the top of the page would likely suffice.<br />
<br />
:::::::::This whole problem comes from new players who come to this site, they don't seem to come from the main page, instead coming from an article. This means they likely will not notice the page is part of the homebrew section. If one of the first things they notice is this disclaimer I believe it will help stop misunderstandings. I aim for this suggestion to help the reputation of this site.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 07:27, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::I think that it is unimportant whether any of us believe we should, or should not, teach people things we believe they should already know. We, as editors, and possibly the core of the community as it stands, only have one duty: To maintain this site, a '''wiki''', in a way that leads to the greatest possible level of accessibility and communicates the greatest possible level of understanding of its content. If this change, a top-level policy change, can be considered ultimately beneficial with little to no change in the function of our little encyclopedia, then we should do it.<br />
<br />
::::::::::Simply put, its not a whole lot of work to just stick a new template into any page we see lacking it, and we are better for it. Whether we should have to, or not, is largely irrelevant to our duty as editors. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 08:27, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::I am definately in agreement with JW. People just need to pay attention to all details they read and apply some common sense rules. To me "Homebrew" means created by other players. Also, on the [[3.5e Open Game Content]] page, it lists what SRD is. There shouldn't be any confusion. Isn't to me, and I know I am not the brightest bulb in the fixture.--[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 09:23, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::::Can you change the background by namespace? Then we could just watermark such a message on the SRD namespace and a different one in the Main namespace (for example). Templateing all the pages with such a template is pointless. Working within the namespaces is the only real option. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 09:47, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />

<br />
== Images for OGC pages ==<br />
<br />
I have talked to a lot of fellow D&D players located here in Saskatchewan, Canada and they seem to all have a similar request. They would love to see the Open Game Content pages to contain picture of the weapons/armor/items/creatures since most do not have descriptions. I know it is a big request with the massive amount of pages, but most of them feel that if the Homebrew pages are required to have pictures, so should the OGC pages.<br />
<br />
I am a big fan of this site and use it all the time. I just wanted to say thank you for all the work you do here.<br />

== Redirect deleting and Captcha ==<br />
<br />
Hi GD, two quickies:<br />
#Is it necessary for deletion proposals for "unneeded redirects" and "double redirects" to go through the two-week incubation period for deletions, or can I treat them as "speedy deletions"? I'm weary about having to add a delete template to every page in [[Special:DoubleRedirects]] rather than dealing with them straight away.<br />
#Regarding an alternative to Captcha, [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Anti-spam_features#CAPTCHAs MediaWiki] suggests " Asirra CAPTCHA" as an alternative (which asks users to distinguish between cats and dogs), might be worth looking into. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 14:00, 24 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
Do people have to pass CAPTCHA to create an account? if so, it isn't working. --[[User:Ganre|Ganre]] 16:33, 24 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
::It works generally, but there are tools go get past it ("decaptcha"). If it works 99.99% of the time, a modest 10000 daily spambot hits can still create 10 registered accounts per day. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 10:10, 25 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
:I'd think it should be considered "delete at-will" or speedy deletion worthy in respect to content; In regards to Unneeded Redirects, there usually is ''no'' content on the page to be deleted, and therefore seems like a justified deletion. That said, still Green Dragon's call. Just making commentary in favor. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 07:15, 25 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::As normal, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion Wikipedia:Criteria for Speedy Deletion] is applicable.

I setup the CAPTCHA so that one of the letters has been removed from one of the words. To correctly pass the CAPTCHA, the missing letter must be filled in.

:The Main talk page is really the best place to ask for page evaluations, but here's my advice. You should add some categories: type "<nowiki>[[Category:Flurry of Blows Feat]] [[Category:Martial Style Feat]] [[Category:3.5e]] [[Category:Feat]] [[Category:User]]</nowiki>" at the bottom. You could list it manually at [[3.5e Martial Style Feats]], but really that page needs rewriting so that it automatically lists the appropriate feats. Be aware that there is an almost identical feat, [[Armored Monk (3.5e Feat)]]. Those more familiar with Monks than me should discuss as to which is the more balanced. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 07:47, 1 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
:Also noticed that your feat doesn't use the preload. Try using the form at [[Add New DnD Character Option]]. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 08:02, 1 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
<br />
thanks, but where in the main page can i ask for a rating ?<br />
and what is this preload ?<br />
i did the feat with the add new dnd charachter option!<br />
:Hi Dean, you can sign your posts by type four tildes ("<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>"). The main talk page is at [[Talk:Main Page]]. Using the "Create New Feat" button would have "preloaded" a template and some categories into your page. You just need to fill in the template fields and it organizes the formatting for you. Have a look at [http://www.dandwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Armored_Monk_(3.5e_Feat)&action=edit this example] - if you like you can copy it over to your page and alter it as needed.

thank you for everything !!!<br />

== Fixing the linking in the powers. ==<br />

== Fox bad link ==<br />
<br />
The link for Add your own [[Form:3.5 Creature Overview| Creature Overview]] says "page does not exist" on the [[3.5e Creature Overviews | 3.5e Creature Overviews]] page. Would it be possible to get this working or have a link to be able to create a 3.5 Creature Overview please?<br />

== Lesser Deity List ==<br />
<br />
I submitted a new Deity, "[[Yusograd the Free]]." I specified information about him on the main page, but it didn't show up on the [[3.5e Lesser Deities]] page (except his name). I saw that you were the main editor of that page, so I was wondering if you could explain and possibly fix the issue? I couldn't figure out how to edit the list (breadcrumb?), as it didn't show the actual items when I tried.<br />

:I also Submitted a new Deity [[Karura (3.5e Deity) | Karura]] in the [[3.5e Greater Deities | 3.5e Greater Deities]] Page and it did not show up at all...

Hey Green Dragon,<br />
:I was just wondering if I could somehow *cough (advertise)* help with my sourcebook, D&D 4.0 Future Sourcebook. It's a little slow going and I'm not on here often anymore. I just need a little bit of help. So, I don't know if I'm allowed to do that. Just let me know on my talk page, okay? It'll be best because I'll probably forget about the question and then I won't check over here (unless I do remember, but can you just contact me on my talk page?). Thanks. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] ([[User talk:Axl|talk]]) 18:28, 15 August 2012 (MDT)<br />

Hello i was lookin at the featured article and was wondering if there was a way to convert this to 4th ed while still keeping the same concept. i am new to d&d and have tried to look into it on my own with lilmited luck. the problem im having is that some of the feats dont seem to exist anymore in 4th edition i am using the path guy character creator so that might be my problem as well but any help you could give would be awesome.<br />
<br />
k so im dumb my email to send me any kind of feed back is anthony.yokum1@us.army.mil that prob would have been helpful in the last message.<br />

== Disturbing news about [[D&D 4.0 Future (4e Sourcebook)/Chapter 5: Equipment/4e Upgrades]] ==<br />
<br />
I found something disturbing in the above link. Apparently it is a ''Candidate for Deletion''. May I ask why? Also, has someone been going through the stuff that was in there and deleting everything from the Heroic Tier section? I don't want anyone deleting ANYTHING in D&D 4.0 Future unless I state that I want it deleted. You know what else that I find disturbing? There isn't even a "Delete" template shown on there. Is this an attempt to delete stuff behind my back? I want answers. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] ([[User talk:Axl|talk]]) 16:10, 23 August 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:I understand what happened now. I double checked what was to be deleted. Turns out it was a redirect. I apologize for jumping off the handle on that. Still though, I don't want anything to be deleted from D&D 4.0 Future without my consent. D&D 4.0 Future is a big project and a little overwhelming. -[[User:Axl|Axl]] ([[User talk:Axl|talk]]) 16:13, 23 August 2012 (MDT)</div>Axlhttps://www.dandwiki.com/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Green_Dragon&diff=585851User talk:Green Dragon2012-08-23T22:10:42Z<p>Axl: /* Disturbing news about D&D 4.0 Future (4e Sourcebook)/Chapter 5: Equipment/4e Upgrades */ new section</p>

I have created a few classes, and I would very much appreciate if you could rate them for me. The classes are Mime (3.5e Class) and Soldier (3.5e Class), and Dragoon (by RDC) (3.5 PrC). <br />

== 4 Edition Summaries ==<br />
<br />
Long time no see. I was wondering if I am allowed to put small summaries of the 4 edition races in my Campaign's races page. It would be name, size, stat bonus and racial features.<br />
<br />
I am asking because the races I want to put in are rather small, and it seems strange to just have a couple of things on one page. The official 4 edition races would be for comparison. [[Celen Joad]] 11:05, 13 January 2011 (UTC)<br />

:Of course. The official races, however, you can't add. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:21, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />

<br />
Does anyone think that giants could become a race? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 17:23, 26 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Does [[SRD:Giants, Hill (Race)|this]] & [[SRD:Giants, Stone (Race)|this]] help? --[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 18:57, 26 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
::Er, I mean for D&D 4e. Not 3.5e. Sorry. Do you think that even Devils and Demons could become races in 4e? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 16:47, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::I don't see why not. Some things may give you direction, ideas, and so forth. The [[Horned Devil (4e Race)|horned devil]] you created, the [[Cambion (4e Race)|cambion]], [[Infernal Blooded (4e Race)|infernal blooded]] relate to name a few. With regard to giants, [[Half-Giant (4e Race)|half-giant]], [[Hill Giant (4e Race)|hill giant]] may give you direction, ideas, and so forth to name a few. Does this help at all? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:18, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::Do you think that the horned devil is too powerful? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 21:02, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::I took a look at it, and modified [[Template:Needsbalance]]'s reason. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 21:39, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::::Okay, I looked at it. Maybe, instead, I could make a paragon path that allows wings (I looked in the Player's Handbook 2 and it allows the dragonborn to have an overland flight speed of 12)? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 21:49, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::::Is that a power though? If you make it something like a power, I imagine that would balance it. A paragon path with the same goal could give you flying results too. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:02, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::::::Well, at level 12, it allows you to make a brief flight. But at level 16, you gain the overland flight. But this is only if you choose that paragon path. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 21:46, 29 January 2011 (MST)<br />

:No problem. Do you think the revision history link is superfluous (and counter-productive)? Should the text be condensed? Thoughts? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:44, 6 April 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::The history link... What do you mean by if it's superfluous? I don't think the text should be condensed. Well, lets see... Do you think that giants are really that bad? Can Giants wield Medium weapons? Also, Giants aren't readly accepted into society (they kinda have a bad reputation). Also, weapons cost more (if you get them from a non-giant source, and that's if they even '''want''' to make one for a giant that they know nothing about). --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 14:40, 9 April 2011 (MDT)<br />

== Giants ==<br />
<br />
Hey Green Dragon. I talked with my brother, and he said that bursts weren't that bad. Do you think that giants should be practically normal, but the user chooses whether to pick a power or a feature (you can only have one or the other; not both)? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 15:07, 1 February 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:I've never seen that used before, and it could make for confusion. I'd recommend just toning down the burst and the class feature, but bursts are interesting, I agree. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 23:15, 6 April 2011 (MDT)<br />

== Meaning of Meaningful Gestures? ==<br />
<br />
Was reading [[Catgirl,_Domestic_(3.5e_Race)|Catgirls]], and was a tad jarred by the "Meaningful gesture" section under [[Catgirl,_Domestic_(3.5e_Race)#Names|Names]]. Without any explanations given for these gestures, is this meant to be presented as a "Interpret as you will" type listing, or was this something that was going to be expanded upon further? Using known data about real-life felines and fictional Japanese catgirls as a starting point, I have compiled a very extensive list of different Body Language messages which we use for a local Catgirl character, which you are more than welcome to use if you wish. I'll be watching this page for a response. {{Unsigned|96.229.186.168|07:39, 8 February 2011 (UTC)}}<br />
<br />
:That is fine to add that to [[:Category:Catgirl|those pages]]. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:02, 9 February 2011 (MST)<br />

== Just another new guy asking around... ==<br />
<br />
SO I've been told about the treasure trove of optional ideas that have been continuing the sprit of 3.5 by my newest D&D group and after a (strangely lucid) dream I came up with the following:<br />
<br />
Spell Slayer<br />
<br />
This +3 crystalline Mage Bane Longsword when wielded by a spell caster on impact allows the caster to make a DC 30 Spellcraft check.<br />
On a successful check the sword ether casts vampiric touch (as caster level 6, max 3 times per combat) OR, if the target is a spellcaster it <br />
steals one (1) random spell. Spells stolen this way are stored until the end of combat and are dispelled afterwards. A caster with the Arcane<br />
Strike feat may sacrifice spells stolen in this manner for the bonuses provided by the feat. (For cost see Holy Avenger)<br />
<br />
<br />
Crystalline Weapon property<br />
<br />
This material is primarily used to make weapons for and against spellcasters. It provides an additional (stacks with magical bonuses) equipment <br />
bonus +1 to hit and damage versus targets with magical abilities or properties (supernatural abilities or uncast spells are examples of this). <br />
In addition it provides a +1 to caster level for all spellcasters wielding or possessing such a weapon, hafted weapons do not confer the caster level bonus. All weapons crafted from Crystalline are considered master work. (For cost see Adamantine)<br />
<br />
Now I don't want to post anything retardedly over powered up on the site (like some of the things I have seen/heard) and would like some advice before I throw it up on the site since I haven't seen a forum section (yet).<br />
<br />
<br />
:The best way to get things looked at is to just take the plunge and create the page. If it is retardedly over-powered, people will tell you. Most people here will offer constructive criticism and will genuinely want to help you improve/complete/flesh out your 'fill in the blank'. Spelling and grammar checks are also staples of the site.

<br />
Hey. Umm I'm just joined your site; I'm wondering if there is anything i should know (like guidelines for what and what not to post). I'm kind of wondering how to make classes. P.S.: I'm guessing those little #s in red and green are reputation points. --[[User:Knave67|Knave 67]] 00:19, 22 February 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Classes for which edition? Any of the "create" boxes will use the correct preload if you use them, giving direction for the class. The preloads (some are listed [[Help:Standards and Formatting (DnD Guideline)#Preloads|here]]) should tell you what the class is. As everything is different in nature, telling you how something should be created is not possible. Of course guidelines exist, and [[DnD Guidelines]] may help you. Most things are balanced off similar things and, as mentioned above, if something is retardedly overpowered people will tell you. Does this help? Also what do you mean by the post scriptum you mentioned above? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 18:18, 21 February 2011 (MST)<br />

Hello I'm working on a hybrid type. half giant red dragon. created by a crazy wizard, for would domination basically. however the creatures have morals and are therefore useless to him, so he abandons them. the creatures themselves would be fairly tall I'm think 7 - 8 an a half feet, strength and con bonuses with hits to car a level adjustment. any advice or an opinion on it would be greatly appreciated. {{Unsigned|Wytewulf|22:18, 24 February 2011 (UTC)}}<br />

I was browsing through the 3.5e Deities section and I encountered multiple entries that were meant only as jokes. Thas is not suitable. This is the first time I use this Wiki, and all those prank articles didn't leave a very good impression. I wish to request an immediate clean-up in the Deities section and remove all fake deities. I understand it may be fun to add Ceiling Cat as a Deity but this kind of humor is not appropriate here.<br />

Hey Green Dragon.. This is Dj00345... i have a question for the 2.5e Homebrew that you are letting me create for the wiki.... How can i create a Template for some of the pages????? i notice when i create a new creature that there is already typing on the white screen when you create a creature... i know that is a template... but how do i create my own template myself???? i need to make some of the templates for the other links, like: Deities, Equipment, Spells, Races, Class, and the others, so that when people create a page, then the right information will already be on the screen and all they have to do is create the page.... do you understand what i am saying???? please reply back on my user talk page... thx!!!

== 3.5e Campaign Setting Teoryran ==<br />
<br />
How can improve my Teoryran Setting. How can I create classes for Teoryran with the same name but different from existing classes of the same name? I am making a new system. Where all base classes are racial and status based on:<br />
<br />
* Each race have four subraces for peasants, nobles, priests and a variable fourth.<br />
* Each subrace have a class<br />
* Each social caste have classes based on them.<br />
<br />
Noble orcs can be samurai and noble humans can be knights. Human and orc serfs can be scoundrels, thiefs or conscriped soldiers. There will be different classes for priests and monks than for nobility. "Big changes" include:<br />
<br />
* only racial classes gives hp<br />
* carrier classes doesn't give HP<br />
* gold is removed<br />
<br />
--[[User:Klas|Klas Wullt]], 01:42 13 May 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:For the pages with the same name you include ", Teoryran". For example "Orc, Teoryran (3.5e Race)". For the subraces you include their subrace after the comma (much like the SRD elves). For example "Orc, Teoryran Peasant (3.5e Race)". The classes can then, of course, be their favored class. If it is the fighter, for example, it would be "Fighter, Teoryran (3.5e Class)" and/or "Fighter, Teoryran Peasant (3.5e Class)". For the game mechanic changes you may have to make a [[3.5e Rules|rule]] or include it some way. When you have them made I can take a look at them and see if it makes sense. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 20:08, 22 May 2011 (MDT)<br />

== 3.5e Equipment List - new category (Page editing locked) ==<br />
<br />
Hi Green,<br />
<br />
I'm a new user to Wiki & would appreciate some helpful advice :-)<br />
<br />
Going to start a new D&D campaign this year with a Pirate theme. When people think of Pirates, thier main thoughts are Pirate Ships, Cannons, Flintlock Pistols & Cutlasses.<br />
<br />
Flintlock's can easily be replaced with Hand Crossbow's, Cannons needed some more thought.<br />
<br />
I do not want to introduce gunpowder into the campaign so as an alternative i've decided to go with Gnomish Engineering and introduce some clockwork & steampowered machinery (Steampunk) resulting in Steam Cannon's aboard ships<br />
<br />
Decided the 3.5e equipment list therefore needs a new category of Gnome Engineering, a place for all things clockwork, steampowered or basic engineering (i.e. Piston Water Pumps)<br />
<br />
I don't think this technolgy would change game balance as there are many ancient technologies that have been rediscovered such as the Baghdad Battery & Eygptian Piston Ballista<br />
<br />
Created the Gnome Engineering category but can not link this category to the 3.5e Equipment list, as this page is locked for editing (for very good reasons, looks complicated)<br />
<br />
Are you able to help?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

== Economist talk page ==<br />
<br />
So, I was browsing through the recent talk page (as I often do), and I was confused by your recent actions on the talk page of the Economist. Care to elaborate? It seemed like someone asked a question on the discussion, and Jota responded with an answer to the question. You deleted the reply, and gave no reason as to why. Someone (a random IP) then went and undid you revert, presumably because you removed helpful and useful content without a reason. You blocked him for 3 months for edit warring, despite him only having a single contribution to the wiki. What happened to warnings? What happened to the increasing block length? Effectively, you banned someone from the wiki for 3 months because they undid one of your edits, which you made without any reason at all. What's going on? --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:05, 24 May 2011 (MDT)<br />

<br />
::The [[Warning Policy]] is only for when one does not edit with civility and etiquette. This is unrelated. Edit warring is a block reason on WIkipedia's policies and therefore effective on D&D Wiki. I don't mean it to be a zero-sum game, but when someone answers with (shortened) "this answer is irrelevant, look elsewhere" it's a obscuration of spamming to external sites. Another common block reason. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 21:47, 24 May 2011 (MDT)<br />

:::The zero-sum part is black-holing any mention, however remote of another site*. It's either us or them. If they win, we lose (zero-sum). But there's no reason it has to be that way.

::::Interesting, but D&D Wiki is not going to have a committee of people who are a self-appointed oligarchy who serve the same function as the [[Meta Pages#Improving, Reviewing, and Removing Articles|improving, reviewing, and removing articles templates]] present. Additionally things on D&D Wiki cannot be stagnant, and things should improve when they can (e.g. user categories being replaced by [[Special:NewPages]], [[Template:Author]] being superseded by history, etc). For example. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:26, 24 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::GD, no one is telling you to change policy about reviewing content, or anything else of that ilk. Jazzman merely said, and I agree, that we should be allowed to say things exist. We have countless links to other forums and sites that host homebrew content, it seems foolish to block people for mentioning one in particular, no matter the history. We can all act like adults and just let it be. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 22:40, 24 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::Links are supposed to do though [[DnD Links]]. All other links are incorrect. However, as I see it, on userpages is okay as long as when one notices it they move it to DnD Links, because to me that seems more like the user is unaware or unknowing. However spamming of external links, yes, does get one banned. Does this kind of answer your question? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 23:59, 24 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::So, by your own admission, Jota and everyone else can post links to their other wikis on their user page, but not in the main namespace? Seems fair to me. I'll go ahead and add links to [[DnD Links]]. I'll assume users can still write something like "If you have any other questions, leave a message on my talk page", where they can post links to other sites (as you said yourself, user pages are fine for external links). Alright, sounds good. I'm glad we've finally come to some sort of agreement on this. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 01:05, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::No, that's taking it out of context. "on userpages is okay as long as when one notices it they move it to DnD Links" should be read as a full statement. Otherwise it's still a violation of policy. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:24, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::You're telling me that there shouldn't be any external links on User Pages then? I was under the impression that if they were also listed on DnD Links, that would be fine. Sometimes you'd want to give a more specific link, like say one to a particular article. The way you've phrased it, it seems like there should be no external links anywhere but on that DnD Links page. That doesn't make any sense at all. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 13:50, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::Well, maybe something like the w: could be made (as a template) for each link. Really, however, one should just direct one to [[DnD Links]] (that's why they are <tt><nowiki>{{#anc:}}</nowiki></tt>'ed). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 13:41, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::I understand what you're saying. I'm saying why make someone go to DnD Links, and then search the other site, when you could just as easily link to the exact page in the first place? DnD Links is certainly a good page, and designed for ease of reference, but I think it works best as a general tool, and for specific purposes one might as well link directly from one page to another, without using DnD Links. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 13:50, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
<-- Again, why? Can someone give me a reason why we are never allowed to link to other sites? I'm just not seeing the reasoning here other than to annex The Site Which Shall Not Be Named, and even that I can't see any good reasoning for. [[User:Hooper|Hooper]] is allowed to link to [[O.G.R.E.]] (which has it's own wiki page, btw; we aren't even allowed to ''mention'' the Other Wiki) with no repercussions, but an anon who undid an outright deletion of a post that vaguely mentions That Other Wiki was banned, without warning, for 3 months. Did they murder your favorite pet or something? Will the site really blow up if I decide to link to some innocent site that doesn't happen to me mentioned on DnD Links (which, judging by the traffic on that page, nobody looks at anyway)?<br />
<br />
Sadly, I've seen this exact same scenario on wikis before: site 1 does something that subset of the site doesn't like. Said subset creates their own wiki. Wiki 1 bans mentions of Wiki 2. Wiki 2 uses this as reasoning to orchestrate more and bigger attacks against Wiki 1. As the bickering continues both sites end up looking silly and losing who would otherwise be valuable members. The more we block them the more they will do things like [[Special:Contributions/Bird|Bird]] did, which are ultimately more harmful to the site than anything the users would do if we just played nice with them. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 15:40, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:So, should we do something like w: then? Currently, [[User:Hooper|Hooper]] should not be linking to any site not by way of [[DnD Links]]. I'm just following policy, be it fledgling or not. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 16:00, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::I don't know what w: means. What I want to do is allow people to link to other sites without having to go through DND links first. If that's what w: is then yes, we should do that.<br />
<br />
::If Hooper's not allowed to link to these sites, then do you want to clean out his userpage and delete [[O.G.R.E.]]? Because I can't see the reason for it. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 17:03, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Ironically, the best description I know of for the events that transpired is on the other wiki. A bunch of people decided to make a "rating committee". GD didn't like it. There was a bunch of silly squabbling, and the other wiki left, taking a ton of content and users with them. GD and everyone else were upset about who took what content, and the legality of that. Honestly, in my mind, this is the sort of thing that, after a week, could have blown over. Clearly we just need to share a beer, play some D&D, and realize how silly this fight is. Also, start allowing each other to link to each other's wikis. I can't speak with any certainty, but I am pretty sure they allow links to this wiki. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 15:58, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Go for it. I don't really want to do any cleaning out of userpages right now&ndash; I'm working on [[4e Deities]] as it is. I agree this is silly, however if links really are needed then someone (again, I don't care to do this) should make something like how [[Template:Background Information (Halo Supplement)]] treats links for each link. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:11, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::I'm not going to delete [[O.G.R.E.]] because it doesn't bother me and I don't understand why it's not allowed. I don't want to go angering Hooper, who's contributions are numerous and high-quality, if I don't have to. If you have time to block people for mentioning one site, I'm not sure why you are too busy to block people for mentioning another site. So how about instead we just allow everyone to link to sites?<br />
<br />
:::And if all we have to do in order to link to D&D wiki (err, the *other* one, anyway) is to create a template, then that's a piece of cake. Heck, I can make one that works even ''better'' than the one you linked to. Now everyone's happy!

<br />
::::I'm not entirely sure why we need a template, especially one that would go at the bottom of the page like you linked. Maybe one at the top of the talk page? But, what would the template say, "This page contains external links. DanDWiki does not have any affiliation with any externally linked sites. Links do no necessarily reflect the views of DanDWiki and its owners"? --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 20:06, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::That's a good idea. And it could incorporate the switch extension. I just meant "like how [[Template:Background Information (Halo Supplement)]] treats links". --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 20:29, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />

<br />
::::::It makes no sense to have a template for individual sites, or even as a way to include the link in the template. If it pleases the wiki, we can just make a <nowiki>{{template:external_link}}</nowiki> and go from there. Throw this up on a page, and we can have external links anywhere we want. Problem solved. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 20:56, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::I don't like how obtrusive that is. I would prefer something much less obtrusive, comparable to an expansion of the MW external link symbol. For example: <nowiki>[www.address.{{{1}}}] ([[DnD Links#site|link information]]</nowiki> [[File:Externallink.png|12px]] this external link does not have any affiliation with D&D Wiki) And, I would prefer having a hard list of sites because as the internet is full of sites with varying degrees of quality it is good to have some quality control over how it effects D&D Wiki. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:35, 26 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::Ok, well, considering that external links already have an associated image (or at least a symbol), why don't you just include a line of text below the edit window (by which I mean below the line "You are also promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a public domain or similar free resource. Do not submit copyrighted work without permission!") that says something to the effect of "Links to external sites must be deemed appropriate; inappropriate links subject to removal. See [[DnD Links]] for list of appropriate links." and we'll just say any page or subpage of a link on the DnD Links page can be freely linked to. I think the problem with including a template in this process is that we already have a ton of templates that we don't use because they are confusing or hard to find. Considering there is already a button for external links, we might as well use that. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 12:18, 26 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::What are your thoughts on just making a [[Meta Pages#Policies|policy]] which covers it and then adding text on [[DnD Links]] explaining it's function. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:27, 26 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::That sounds like the best possible plan. We allow external links, add a line in the policy about external links, and a brief summary about what should and should not be linked on the DnD links page. I'm glad we've finally come to some sort of agreement, and don't require the use of templates or other things that may be confusing to new users. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 19:35, 26 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::I just wanted to comment on something said much earlier. It was ''"Note, however, that it's only one site that gets people insta-blocked for a quarter. Other sites get mentioned without such severe penalties. In one case, I can think of a site that's mentioned multiple times that nobody seems to have any problem with..."''. Not true. I literally was blocked on [http://dungeons.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=&year=&month=-1 September 20th, 2009] after making four edits to that wiki - one redirecting a talk page to me, and three asking for a diff in a respectful manner. The block summary even stated some harsh thing. Don't pretend that one wiki is a white knight in this issue. I still don't understand why people won't just stay at their chosen wiki home, and ignore the other. ''(also, I only added the actual link because I'm understanding its now okay on talk pages? If thats not so delete it. I'm honestly having a hard time following.)''<br />
:::::::::::Now, as far as O.G.R.E.s is concerned. It is my understanding, and perhaps I am wrong in this understanding, that long ago it was decided not to link to "competing sites". OGREs may be another wiki ''(for now, but when our webmaster isn't paid, things take time)'' but it isn't a competing site. We're not looking for the same kind of content. Now maybe I'm wrong, and if so, delete it. But in my opinion, the D&D Other section is perfect for articles discussing the different gaming organizations and may be very pertinent to the common D&D Wiki browser's interest. &nbsp;<small><span style="border: 1px solid black; -moz-border-radius:10px">[[User:Hooper|'''<span style="background-color:White; color:Black; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px"> Hooper </span>''']][[User talk:Hooper|<span style="background-color:Black; color:white; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px">&nbsp;&nbsp;talk&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Hooper|<span style="background-color:black; color:white">&nbsp;&nbsp;contribs&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>]][[Special:Emailuser/Hooper|<span style="background-color:black; color:white; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:10px; -moz-border-radius-topright:10px">&nbsp;&nbsp;email&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>]]</span></small> 21:35, 29 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::::Even if they did block you, that's not really a good reason to insta-block ''them''. Simply linking to that site isn't, in and of itself, a legitimate reason in my mind to block someone for ''3 months'', especially considering the specific case we were talking about. (Let's face it, were it anyone but GD, we might have thought the original reversion was vandalism; it is only because we saw his name beside it that we know it wasn't).<br />
<br />
::::::::::::As for O.G.R.E, I don't actually think it should be deleted, just as I don't think links to the other wiki should be deleted. But as far as I can tell, there's no differentiation between what links we are allowed to link to. Under the current rules as written, if we insta-ban people for mentioning one, it's completely hypocritical to pretend links to the other don't even exist. I'm not actually arguing that we enforce the rules against all sites, I think we need to change the rule entirely. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 22:05, 29 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::::What's an instablock? The block was for edit warring, see also [http://www.dandwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3A63.23.72.173]. It's unrelated. I have no idea about O.G.R.E.. Is it on [[DnD Links]]? Has it been looked over? If it's anything like your video channel (which I have seen) then i'd be fine. Of course this discussion is for elsewhere. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:11, 29 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::::::[http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/216.66.140.248 This] is an insta-block. A user's very first ever edit was a reversion of unexplained deletion of Jota's response. The guy can't be accused of edit warring when there were (liberally) only 2 reverts, only one of which was this guy a participant. If we go by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:3RR#The_three-revert_rule WP:3RR], it's not a revert war until one editor does ''three'' reverts in a 24-hour period. That editor hadn't even had three ''edits''. (The IP you linked to, by the way, only had 2 reverts, and was never even given a warning before he was blocked for 3 months.) Not only that, but had an IP or a new user deleted Jota's comment without explanation, the reversion of said deletion would probably be given exception from the 3RR, because to all appearances, deleting someone else's talk page comments is usually itself vandalism. Adding them back almost never is. At worst, the two IPs should have been given an explanation of how what they were doing was not allowed, a warning to discontinue their actions, and ''maybe'' blocked for a day to cool down.

== hello ==<br />
<br />
I have almost finnished 3/8 planned racial caste races.<br />
Please have a look at the Human noble and human peasant <br />
and Ork noble races.<br />
Links are found at Teoryran info about Races.<br />
<br />
The race pages are to big, <br />
any suggestions of how to cut them up and<br />
sort them in different sections?<br />
<br />
== hi ==<br />
<br />
Mmm, well I needed the pages sorted after supplement.<br />
I needed to put lots of class and race descriptions of personality, the world<br />
and their lands somewhere else.<br />

<br />
Yes; sorry for being unclear.<br />
I Lack footers and I am unsure where to put my classes<br />
if they are not exactly base classes either?<br />
Variant rules?<br />
Should I greate a new page for racial classes?<br />
Or are they paragon classes?<br />
I am worried that some of the pages about info for the setting<br />
lack addresses and take up extra memory.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hello.<br />
We need a racial class category like that from Savage Species.<br />
Savage Species offers levels all the way up<br />
and they don’t just raise abilities at level 3.<br />
Can I make a suppliment page<br />
where I have my own classess,<br />
I might do it, you can delete if its improper.<br />
I would like some criticism for my classes.<br />
<br />
:I imagine what you are talking about should work as a [[3.5e Racial Paragon Classes|racial paragon class]] with a specific [[3.5e Races|race]] made for it. Though you may want to mention that you are using the monster class rules from [[Savage Species]]. If they are not racial paragon classes then yes, you should make a [[3.5e Rules|rule]] about them and link them from there. Don't worry about taking up space. It's of no concern. Does this help? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 12:29, 13 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:It does help alot, I think I prefere the combo Savage Species+ Paragon. and have started to work on it.Now my problem lies with what features to distribute.But aren't there any category where you can submit Savage Species Monster classes? Paragon classes, mostly allows you to reduce the weaknesses of a race, as I see it anyway, while monster classes sort of build the race from zero and up.The attempt to create different "races" for aristocrats and commoners,end up making them very similar except that commoners gets penalties the nobles don't.I have a dozen ideas, and edit back and forth.Still, if you took a look at these I made,you can se specific balancing is a problem.<br />

Why did you revert my edit on [[Talk:DnD Links]]? I didn't break any of your rules and, furthermore, I contributed to the discussion. You shouldn't just censor things because you don't agree with them... --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 13:44, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Because it's not adding anything new to the discussion. It's not pertinent, see also the reason. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 13:49, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::"Because it's not adding anything new to the discussion."<br />
::False. I gave an illustration of how GNU (and similarly GPL) actually works in practice and showed that the emphasis on the licenses was initially for code libraries/projects. That emphasis is a very important distinction because it provides more basis for the argument I'm making. This also provides some historical context for my argument.<br />
::I brought up how MySQL's licensing can be seen as a parallel example (actually I could have brought up Wikipedia too -- how do you think they transitioned from GPL 1.2 to GPL 1.3? Relicensing.).<br />
<br />
::"It's not pertinent, see also the reason."<br />
::Your reason is a complete strawman argument. ie. You are attacking an argument I didn't even make. Let's examine the exact "reason" you gave:<br />
::"wrong - there is no section 11 clause to the GNU FDL v1.2 (that's the whole -i think- MSQL legal dilema)"<br />
::Now go back to what I wrote. Did I write ''anything'' about section 11? No. In fact, earlier I already explained that section 11 does not apply in this case because this wiki is under GNU FDL 1.2 (the exact thing I said was "Anon, you are actually incorrect, unfortunately. This wiki uses GNU FDL 1.2 and no licenses can just suddenly retroactively patch a previous license.", see the context).<br />
::Also, you "think" that is the whole "MSQL legal dilema", but I never even said that this has anything to do at all with MySQL's legal dilemma. I was strictly comparing the fact that MySQL was able to transition to a dual license to authorship as a concept.<br />
::And, just to be a bit cheeky: you censored a well-written post meant to explain in detail my stance in a discussion. The whole point of that post was because you clearly were not responding intelligibly to what I had written earlier, so it seemed necessary to go into more detail. That's a pretty standard thing in a discussion. Elaborating on a point when the other party doesn't seem to understand.<br />
::What I'd like to hear is how you think authorship and licensing actually works. All you've done is say that others are wrong, but you have yet to provide any evidence to back up your claims. --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 14:10, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::It may not even be MySQL I am referring to. There is a conglomerate of companies which has a problem with previous GNU FDL licensing and now it is uncertain who owns their things. Since they used section 11 and did some version changing and things, they now have this problem. Last I saw one had to give over some billion worth in rights to the other or something along those lines. <br />
:::It just doesn't matter how people use the GNU FDL v1.2. Who cares? We go by the license and law, and that is the discussion (mostly). What the GNU FDL has been used for is not.<br />
:::I have said repeatedly that like Wikipedia's terms of use, law is. Of course things like licenses are interchangeable. What's not to read? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 14:28, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::"There is a conglomerate of companies..."<br />
::::How does this point have anything to do with your website? Your website is not a company and you and it have no ownership over the material others put on it. You have ownership of the database and the webserver (or at least the rental agreement if you rent).<br />
::::"We go by the license and law, and that is the discussion (mostly)"<br />
::::What law? The one I showed was clearly false? Again, I ask very simply: explain how you actually think authorship and licensing works (with regard to this wiki). It seems you are either unwilling or unable to back up your claims, which isn't surprising considering that they hold no weight whatsoever.<br />
::::"I have said repeatedly that like Wikipedia's terms of use, law is."<br />
::::Since the following sentences probably hinge on that one, I'm just going to have to ask you to rephrase it. From the way I read it: "I have said repeatedly that, similar to Wikipedia's terms of use, law is an entity that exists". Which is true... But it doesn't really say anything worthwhile. I could say something similar and it would have just as much meaning to me: I have said repeatedly that like Wikipedia's terms of use, bacon is. --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 14:57, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />

Note also that the terms of use do not have any such mention of forgoing the author's right to relicense their own work. It just talks about the fact that you can't take materials that have a copyright and add the GNU FDL license without having the author's consent.<br />
<br />
::::::::Now for the GNU FDL 1.3, there is little point in explaining because we have already determined that this wiki does not use that license anyways, but if it did, a CC-by-SA license can be added to ''other author's'' work. Yeah, if this site was GNU FDL 1.3 that would just mean that moving content and relicensing would not require the author's consent.<br />

<br />
::::::::::You aren't getting it. Whose permission is required for copyrighted work? All you are pointing out is exactly what I just said: you can't submit the copyrighted work of others'.

<br />
:::::::::::Your not getting it. "you are bound to the terms even if you don't read them", meaning that you are bound to the terms. With regard to copyrighting through the USA Copyright Office, a different scenario, was it done? And I think Wikipedia's Terms of Use cover that to some extend now. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 16:19, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::::Can I link to an external site (the US Copyright Office site)? On their FAQ, you will clearly see the following text:<br />
::::::::::::"Do I have to register with your office to be protected? No. In general, registration is voluntary. Copyright exists from the moment the work is created. You will have to register, however, if you wish to bring a lawsuit for infringement of a U.S. work."<br />
::::::::::::So, I don't see what the copyright office has to do with anything.<br />
::::::::::::I totally agree that Terms of Use function in a way that makes them binding even if they are not read. But the fact of the matter is, anything I write is copyrighted (by me), and I can license that work as I see fit.

<br />
::::It doesn't. See also the [[Coin Golem (3.5e Creature)]]. All I am saying is there is a licensing problem (as it ''is'' the GNU FDL v1.2) which undermines D&D Wiki in various ways if it is not that license. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:45, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::Right. But the point of the GNU FDL is not for authors, it is for collaborators. The author is licensing a ''copy'' of their work (whatever it may be) under the GNU FDL. It is not an exclusive license. That ''copy'' must follow all the rules and regulations of the GNU FDL. If the same user decides they want to license their work under a different license, they don't have to pay any attention to the GNU FDL because they are licensing a completely separate ''copy'' -- even if the content is exactly the same. --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 17:56, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />

<br />
== Keran (3.5e Races) ==<br />
<br />
Why have you recently edited the names of many of my races from "Race Name (Keran Race)" to "Race Name, Keran (3.5e Race)"? In my opinion it was unnecessary and I am confused to why you did it?--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:06, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Races should be labeled as "Race". I added "Keran" to some to distinguish them as part of [[Blades Of Keran (3.5e Campaign Setting)|Blades Of Keran]] where their was already something of the same name. How they used to be named made a problem on the dynamic race pages. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:09, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Didn't notice the problems. And if thats so then why not rename all of them? Also some of what you renamed doesn't have Keran in the title. --[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:18, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::I guess I can. Some don't have "Keran" because I was not certain if you want it there or not. It doesn't need to be (the reason for the some was that it makes sense to not have variant attached to the page), but they all can have "Keran" present. I am uncertain. I'm actually working on the disambiguation page [[Elf]] and didn't do the others as such. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:21, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::So why did they need to say 3.5e? I didn't think they required it to be 3.5e.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:36, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::I put that there because they use 3.5e rules. I think I am confused. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:39, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::You didn't do that for other Disambiguations. For example [[Fighter|Fighter]].--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:43, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::I'm not understanding what your saying. I have not yet saved [[Elf]], if that helps at all. I was actually talking about the Keran races I moved above. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:45, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::I was more asking why do they need to be (3.5e Race) for disambiguation. Also if it is just because of it is 3.5 material then shouldn't Cora races also be changed?.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:55, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::Yes, it is because it is 3.5e material. I am doing it because disambiguation pages require alphabetization and moving them now makes it much smoother. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:57, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::Okay. But how come the elves now don't have Keran as part of the page title? Not that thats a problem just wondering. Because you changed the name for the Lizardfolk as well (I'm guessing for the same reasons as the Elves) but they still have the Keran as part of there title.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 02:13, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::I did that because the lizardfolk had other lizardfolk races with the same name present. I can do that for the elves, which were the only elves with that name, if you want. It's your call. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 18:36, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />

== Prestige Base Classes ==<br />
<br />
In Blades Of Keran I was going to create new prestige classes. The only problem is that I want my prestige classes to like a Base Class with slight requirements. And as I wanted to make them full base classes, I was hoping to give them a full 1-20 level progression without having to use Epic Level Rules. So would they be still classed as Prestige Classes?--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 23:10, 24 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:No. They would not work with [[SRD:Multiclass Characters]]. Making a [[3.5e Rules|rule]] about them and linking them from that page would be appropriate. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:19, 25 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Creating an Infrastructure Category for SRD Pages ==<br />
<br />
I was working on a sortable DPL for 3.5e SRD Creatures (as an example for what we could do for 3e Monsters), and I came across a problem. It seems that we have pages like "Evil Creatures" marked as "Creatures", which naturally creates a problem when making a DPL of all creatures. My solution to this would be one of two options: Remove "Creatures" category from pages like "Evil Creatures", or create a new category like "SRD Infrastructure", which we could add to all pages like "Evil Creatures" that are labeled "Creature" but aren't actually creatures. We already have a category by that name, so we'd need to name it something else, but the idea stands. What are your thoughts? --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 22:51, 26 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Or just remove [[:Category:Creature]] from that page and replace it with [[:Category:Creature List]]? If it's a widespread problem an infrastructure category may make more sense though. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 23:04, 26 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Ehh, I've just figured out a way to do what I wanted to do without having to change anything. I'm not sure if it is a better solution (efficiency-wise), but it's less work in the present, so I like it well enough. Do you know much about DPL tables? I'm trying to figure out how to insert text into a cell that with an empty parameter (similar to how we have NFR or NR for classes that aren't fully rated on the 3.5e Class Homebrew table). Do you know how to do that, or better yet, do you know of a website that would be able to teach me how? --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 23:39, 26 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::I know some about dpl's. An empty parameter? You could just do something like <tt><code><nowiki>|include={<!-template->}:noneparam:<!-include1->, etc</nowiki></code></tt>. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 23:53, 26 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::I don't think that's quite what I'm trying to do. If you check out [[User:Badger/sandbox12|my attempt]], you'll notice that entries like "Air Elemental" have blank spaces in the table. That is because they have multiple copies of the template I am querying on the page, so it won't return anything. My plan was to make it so if the box for "CR" was empty, the table would put in some line of text like "Varies". That way there would be no empty cells in the table. I'm still trying to get the hang of DPLs, so I'm not sure what code does what. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:03, 27 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::Nevermind, I don't need to do that for this list anymore, but if you know of a useful resource I'd love to get it. My google searches aren't as helpful as I'd like them to be. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:20, 27 June 2011 (MDT)<br />

== Marroar and his torrent of unbalancing ==<br />
<br />
You'll probably have already noticed and what not, but it's beginning to bug me. I noticed a guy named [[User:Marroar|Marroar]] with edits all over the place, mostly tiny ones, but hundreds of them. It seems like everything he touches becomes unbalanced as anything, particularly with some changes he tried to make to a race of my original creation, and even seen more so at [[Dragon Rider (3.5e Class)|Dragon Rider]], in which the nearly the entire history is tiny, horrible alterations to an already sketchy class, including some that go completely against the fundamental functions of the class page, like giving out ability adjustments just for taking the class. You'll see what I mean, if you look at it. Not sure if he's just a spammer or just really bad at this stuff, or just trying to con his DM or something. It's just bothersome to have some guy scurrying about waving broken-ness all over the place. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 05:07, 10 July 2011 (MDT)<br />

Greetings, is there a place I can ask questions on here for specific things? As in help on characer creation or ideas for part of a campaign world I am creating? The only place I can think of for stuff like this is the sandbox but.. I highly doubt anyone will actually comment on anything I say or ask. That aside, do you know of any place I can chat with people about these things in real time? I am joining a gestalt campaign here in a few days and have questions regarding item creation, but due to the time between now and actual play, I would like to get feedback instantly versus a few hours to days. Otherwise this wouldnt bother me. Thanks for your time in reading this and even more so if you reply. [[User:Lyrad8791|Lyrad8791]] 23:11, 3 August 2011 (MDT)<br />

== A question about deletion ==<br />
<br />
So, I was just wondering, what are our policies on deleting "completed" material? Is there a minimum rating a "finished" class must have, or face deletion? If the general consensus on the discussion page is "make it go away", and it's been at least two weeks, can I delete it without hesitation? --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 15:50, 23 August 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Not if there is enough content to be playable. Can one play with a few class features for the starting levels? Probably (and then they could improve the class from that stage).<br />
:Anyone can add {{tl|delete}} so criteria is present for the deletion of that content. If you did delete content which was playable you should go back and restore it. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 19:03, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::I'm just looking at classes, like [[Anti-Christ_(3.5e_Class)|this one]], that have been marked for deletion for months. It is marked as a base class, but should be moved to prestige class if we intend to keep it. Anyway, it has class features all spelled out, but it's a mess of formatting, there is virtually no fluff, and the vast majority of the ratings (at least, the ones I trust) have said horrible things about the class. I see no reason why we should bother to keep this class, especially since it has had no productive edits since 2009. However, if you feel this is the type of content you want to keep around, I can just move it to prestige class and swap out <nowiki> {{delete}} for {{wikify}}</nowiki>. In my opinion we should have some sort of "this isn't going to get better and it is terrible now, we might as well trash it" policy. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 19:41, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Yes, there is enough content there to keep it. Is it correct? No, it needs work. Things should (if you have enough time please help) work more correctly with the [[Meta Pages#Improving, Reviewing, and Removing Articles|improving, reviewing, and removing articles]] templates. This means that those which do not work should be moved to a separate section (like [[DnD Base Classes]]) and those that do are to be more easily accessible. This removes problems such as [[Anti-Christ_(3.5e_Class)|Anti-Christ]] however leaves it enough room for it to be improved upon. If you have deleted others which are playable (I have found a few, however I have not looked well) please restore those pages. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 20:00, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::I think I've been pretty careful about deleting content that wasn't up to snuff. I know we disagree on that Taco article, but that may be because it was an April fool's class, and I figured that no one but the original creator would bother to write more fluff for it (it is my opinion that one joke doesn't make a joke page, and that page had very few). I can't think of any pages that I've deleted that were questionable. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 20:09, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::I may look more, however you could be rather correct. That was one I found, as well as one with a history earlier then the deletion template was added then was removed to make for the delete template. That was probably just a oversight problem on your part though. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 21:34, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />

==Jedi base class, prestige class, d20, consolidation==<br />
I stumbled upon the Jedi class here, and although certain aspects of Star Wars should remain out of D&D, I still think the philosophy and characterization is a good thing for roleplaying in the D&D universe, even if the flashy too powerful lightsaber doesn't belong in the hands of a starting character. <br/>I see this class as a fusion of a Paladin and a Monk and a Psion. I don't normally edit here, but I wanted to get started something that cleared up the problem of a start class Jedi. I think that is very wrong, it should take a longer time than than to get there, but I don't think a Padawan class makes sense either as it requires a Master Jedi. Then again, training characters is common, from level to level and for skills and skill improvement, so a Padawan Class might also work. <br/>I started this and hopefully you know of people who are interested in developing it: '''[[Jedi (3.5e Prestige Class)]]'''<br/><br />
I would like to eventually see these base class Jedi removed in favor of Prestige classes.<br />

None of this necessarily has to do with anything Sci-fi related, I remember reading a copy of the Priest's Handbook and it had a system for creating Religions that included Philosophies instead of Deities. I'll see if I can find another copy and maybe download it. [[Special:Contributions/173.245.55.62|173.245.55.62]] 10:01, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />

== Omissions ==<br />
<br />
The NoBF is missing the Practiced Spellcaster feat.<br />
This feat (and Practiced Turning, probably others) could benefit from a better description of the limitation (such as saying it is mostly to benefit multiclassed characters).<br />
<br />
Searching for edits to the NoBF was totally screwed. I'm not sure about other things listed here, nothing else showed an option to search for edits (I'm busy with other stuff too, so I gave up quick though).<br />
<br />
Show new changes starting from [Todays's Date]<br />
There was no way to change the start date. I don't know if changing the range to 30 days mattered or not, since it still started with "Today".<br />
I think I can safely assume that no changes have been made in the last 16 hours, so the fact that it didn't list any changes means nothing.<br />
<br />
Keep up the good work. :)<br />

<br />
You placed a notice on the [[#enlightened soul (3.5e prestige class)|enlightened soul]] stating that it did not adhere to wiki formatting, as the table does not have BAB and saves listed. While this is accurate, it is also an epic prestige class, and as such adheres to epic rules in this regard. I felt uncomfortable taking down the notice myself, but would highly appreciate it if you would, or leave a fuller explanation why it would be necessary in the talk section.

== Can Spammers be a 4e Race? ==<br />
<br />
I'm tired of the non-paid advertising put on this site. I was wondering, therefore, if it would be okay if I create a race out of these 'spammers', a.k.a. those whose only purpose on this site is to make it their own free commercial. Or would that be against the warning policy? I wouldn't say or write anything threatening or offensive, although the people sending spam should be criticized for a lack of decency. It's a shame that such a good site is being infiltrated by these advertisements, and it's also a shame to all companies who rightfully ''pay'' to have a product advertised instead of taking advantage of the internet. Anyways, I just wanted to know whether or not I could create a scathing "Spammer (4e Race)" If not, then that's okay. (Also note, I won't be able to be on the site for the next two days, but after that I would have all the time in the world to create the race, if it's acceptable.) --[[User:Obake|Obake]] 20:04, 30 September 2011 (MDT)<br />

Hey green dragon. It's me, Dj00345. Since I created the 2.5e Homebrew, I have been watching the recent changes log to see if anyone creates anything for the 2.5e Homebrew. I just fixed one page created by someone, they forgot the categories that would link it to a certain page, I was wondering if I can do that for any 2.5e page that doesn't make it to the right places???

Hey Green Dragon. I appreciate the effort on your part on keeping my idea from being deleted over the past couple of years. I've seriously neglected completing it, but to be honest I was in the process of creating powers as I posted the first information on the class over two years ago. I've recently happened upon my old notebooks and have been revising old powers I'd written there (but not posted here) and have reformed my approach to the class. I'm currently in school for Game Art and Design, so this is a wonderful outlet for my Systems Design work. As such, I'll be completing this class over the next few months.<br />

== Formatting and licensing for transcriptions ==<br />
<br />
Greetings-<br />
I've been working on and off on transcribing one of Mongoose Publishing's books in the Quintessential series ([[The Quintessential Monk]]). I'm pretty sure I've been getting the formatting in acceptable shape, but would love someone with an experienced eye to take a look. However, the main question I have is about the OGL. I've been taking the "please help transcribe" tags on [[3.5e_Open_Game_Content|this]] page at face value, and have basically been doing just that: a word-for-word transcription. Are there exceptions or limitations to what can and can't be legally duplicated on the internet? I'm not very clear on how the OGL works. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. --[[User:Klichka|Klichka]] 17:21, 6 December 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:The formatting works. The ideal is like [[Crime and Punishment - The Players Sourcebook of the Law]] with the links but if you don't do it like that someone will come along eventually and format it like that.<br />

== Looking for advice... and help. ==<br />
<br />
I have built a few things here on the D&DWiki page, all under the 3.5 sections; (Jachyrines, Matter Shifter, Velloreans, SoulChain Warrior, Slithzirkhai and a few others).<br />
<br />
I am trying to find someone who can look these over and tell me if I have over-powered them or made the Level Adjustment on the races right.<br />
<br />
Also, I am looking at building two "mirror" 3.5 classes, the Lunarian and Solarian... Basically mages that draw their power from the Moon and Sun, respectively. I am wanting to do it up like the psion with "Spell Points" vs a set number of spells per day, so they have like a set amoung of "Lunar Power" or "Solar Power" to cast spells with. Its just I want to make sure I go about it right, so if you know of anyone who can give me advice on how to go about this without overpowering it, but not making it completely weak and useless, that'd be great. And yes, they'd each have powers they gain on certain levels related to their source of power.<br />
<br />
Also, is there any word on getting the small book "Secret College of Necromancy" transcribed into the site? I used to own it, my ex lost it, and now I can't find a new one. Just curious.<br />

Many Thanks for any help;<br />

== Redirect ==<br />
<br />
Um, the redirect isn't working properly. I want to move my <s>User: Axl/My Sandbox/4e Future Power</s> to [[User: Axl/My Sandbox/4e Future Power Preload]], but it already has that name as a redirect. While I was trying to move it, I clicked the cancel button on my browser so that I could change it to the latter link, but it instead goes to the former when I click on the link. Can this be fixed, and when is the 4e Power creator going to be fixed? The reason why I created the 4e Future Power Preload was so that I would not have to type out the links that say <!-[[Main Page]] &rarr; [[4e Homebrew|Homebrew]] &rarr;-> etc. What I'll do is I'll create a breadcrumb that I'll just type into the power while I'm creating it, but could you fix the redirect? Thanks. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 17:30, 24 December 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Are those pages now how you wanted them to be?<br />
:Also, [[Add New 4e Power]] is working&ndash; or what do you mean is not? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 12:46, 27 December 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
::When I tried it in my D&D 4.0 Future sourcebook, it didn't work. I thought that the add power in my sourcebook and the homebrew was the same. I have since changed it. I'll try it again, this time in the homebrew. Thanks. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 22:30, 30 December 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
::Oh, did you fix the redirector? I said it wrong. I said "could you fix the redirect?" when I should have said "could you fix the redirector?". Sorry about that. I'm deleting the 4e Future Power Preload. Sorry for the hassle. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 22:31, 30 December 2011 (MST)<br />

== 4e race design guideline ==<br />
<br />
Hi Green Dragon, just a quick question about my article [[4e Race Design (DnD Guideline)]]. I see it's been copied to [[4e Race Add Instructions]] - If make further updates (and I do have some planned), will this need to be copied over manually? I was also hoping someone else familiar with 4e mechanics could check through this before it's used "officially", what do you think? ''':)''' [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 07:20, 4 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:I read through it and it seemed to cover the design bases well. And no, when you change it will automatically change (it is transcluded). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 14:25, 4 January 2012 (MST)<br />
::Great, thanks. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 15:50, 4 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== Stub tag removal ==<br />
<br />
I recently created a new prestige class, [[Badass (3.5e Prestige Class)]]. It isn't rated yet or anything, but for the most part it is complete. How do I go about getting the stub tag removed? -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 15:01, 4 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== Fixing double redirects ==<br />
<br />
There are quite a few double redirects to be cleaned up manually, and they have been accumulating far faster than they have been fixed manually. Due to this, I was wondering if it would be worth it to have a programming adept wiki user, or hire somebody in your area to design a program to automatically fix the problem by cleaning up double redirects. I'm fairly certain Wikipedia has a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Computer_help_desk/double_redirect_study form of this]. Would it be possible to base the program off a similar idea? With the number of double redirects growing it may be worth investing the time. On a similar note, if a program like this is made, would it be possible to alter it slightly to perform other menial tasks around the wiki such as moving (DnD) pages to their respective edition? I realize many of them have already been moved, however some are still in the wrong places. --[[Special:Contributions/173.245.55.116|173.245.55.116]] 22:05, 8 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== Flaw submission problem ==<br />
<br />
Hi Green Dragon,<br />
Just signed up for D&D Wiki, though I've been here before.<br />
I'm trying to submit a character flaw, and the only thing that shows up on the character flaws page is the title, but none of the description and whatnot. Am I doing something wrong, or do the submissions have to be reviewed first? I'll paste the flaw here so maybe you can tell me if the coding is wrong or something... Thanks! =edit= Pasted it in and only that one line shows up.. Argh..<br />
<br />
{{3.5e Flaw <br />
|name= Large Breasts <br />
|types= General <br />
|summary= Generally, your large breasts tend to get in the way. <br />
|drawback= For whatever reason, your character has been quite well -ahem- endowed. As a result, ever since coming of age your character has noticed a few drawbacks. For one, any Acrobatic checks the character makes take a -5 penalty. The penalty is increased by 1 for each cup size the female has above D.<br />
Additionally, any time the character needs to squeeze through a tight spot, her breasts will get in the way again. Any time she has to squeeze through a small tunnel, doorway, escape through a small window, or even push her way through a group of people, she must make an Escape artist check equal to 10 + 1/2 her character level rounded down. The same rule of 1 added to the DC for each size larger than D cup size applies here as well. <br />
|roleplay= Generally this can be used for humor's sake, or for misfortune's sake that is up to your DM and how good of a sense of humor he has. I was a very humorous DM with a gentleman who had a curvy female Ninja, and invariably he would mess up the acrobatics roll, so we started joking about her breasts getting in the way, hence this flaw's creation; "Well Dustin, because you chose to build such a well rounded character... Would you care to roll your acrobatics check to jump from that rooftop to the next? A 19. Well normally that jump's DC would be 15. However, since you built such a 'well rounded' character, your DC was 21 because of her DD size chest you keep bragging about. Well luckily you did make the jump, but because of the unequal weight distribution, your character takes a bit of a tumble upon landing, and doesn't land on her feet but rather her stomach and face. She isn't hurt, well, maybe her pride is". <br />
<!-- Delete any of the following if they are not used --><br />
|prereqs= Must be FEMALE, Must have breasts of D size or greater <br />
|benefit= This flaw gives two benefits: 1 extra feat, and a +2 on Diplomacy checks with any male or female who is attracted to your character<br />

|special= The +2 to Diplomacy only works if your character has 16 Charisma or higher!<br />

==Review Request System==<br />
<br />
I've noticed that it can be somewhat difficult to get reviews on user content, usually requiring contacting individual reviewers to ask for a review. Now, this system does work, but it is far from optimal, especially for newer users on the wiki. What I propose is a new template, say, <nowiki>{{requestreview}}</nowiki>, that would effectively generate a list of completed pages that the author would like feedback on. I don't know a lot about templates, but I don't think it should be especially difficult to start this up. It is my opinion that we'll end up with higher-quality pages overall if we do this. What do you think? -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 13:20, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:That's not a bad idea (and it'd be really easy to implement -- just have the template add pages to [[:Category:NeedsReview]] or whatever). I see two flaws with it though. 1) a lot of people who post content... don't exactly stick around. We'd need some sort of criteria for removing pages from the category. This shouldn't be a big issue, really. 2) as I've argued [[Discussion:I think it's time to change the rating system|here]], the rating system is very much messed up and in need of a fix. We really should fix that before we ask people to use it. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 14:00, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::The first issue could be fixed fairly easily, with a bot that removes the template if it was added over two weeks ago, although I don't know it that is feasible. Thus abandoned pages, or pages that have been rated, would drop off the list in two weeks.<br />
<br />
::I agree with you about the rating system being messed up, but it does provide a way to get feedback on pages. That is to say, it may not work well, but it's better than nothing. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 14:43, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />

::::::I'm not sure you understood the meaning behind the template. The idea was to provide a way for users to request feedback on a page through the rating system.

== Changing the Feat Section ==<br />
<br />
I have a suggestion GD. I noticed while adding 3.5e feats they don't instantly add to the tables, I checked the code and noticed that each feat has to placed into the table. Wouldn't it be faster and more efficent for adding new feats if it worked like the Spell List section?--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 07:01, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Yes. Some of those pages are very old and are not dynamic. Others, however, are. For example [[DnD Heritage Feats]] is the most useful version, but problems still exist (why are there those "&mdash;"'s at the end). Yes, they should all be updated to the DnD Heritage Feats. Also [[Template:3e Feat Table Row Test L2]] needs to be corrected (that is where the problem is coming from). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 10:54, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::GD, while we are on the subject of feats, is there a way we can add feats from the other published items, i.e. [[Complete Divine]] to the Feat tables, or are we going to keep those seperate? --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 11:07, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::Since they cannot be used in a game (the mechanics are not present) we will not. Feats from [[3.5e Open Game Content]] are supposed to be added, though. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:40, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />

== Race creation ==<br />
<br />
Hey, I'm sorry for writing on your little guied line page. I'm a bit confused on where I'm soupose to start the creation. You see, the setting isint the same as I last visited. Whenever I type in a name for my race I'm sent to the guide line page. I'm not sure where to start my race page. After being sent to guide lines page where do I go?<br />
<br />
:After using the inputbox on [[4e Races]] can you scroll to the bottom of that page and is there then an edit box? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:53, 12 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Campaign dieties ==<br />
<br />
GD, I know yo have been adding dieties, but I was wondering if there is a particular place where dieties such as Reorx from Dragonlance, Dol Darn from Eberron, or even Lolth from the Realms be listed? Would I create a "pantheon" on your handy-dandy dieties page and specify "Dragonlance Dieties" and list them or do yo have a better suggestion? --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 10:09, 22 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:You can make a pantheon for them. Please, however, do not add the deities since they are not OGC. Take a look at [[Outer Planes (3.5e Environment)]] for inspiration on completing such a task while keeping it within the licensing situation. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 10:16, 22 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::I am sorry, but I am going to need some clarification. I can make the pantheon and list their names and a brief summary, or don't even mention their names? If I can submit the pantheon, would it look a bit like what Wikipedia has if you typed in "Dragonlance Dieties?" --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 10:49, 22 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::You can mention their names. Yes, "Dragonlance Deities" is great information, but I don't think that is a pantheon. Start with a pantheon and then we can talk about the individual deities.<br />
:::The wording does not need to be just a "brief summary". As long as you wrote it (or it is licensed appropriately) you can write it, like [[Outer Planes (3.5e Environment)]], explaining the situation to the unknowing reader. Using this wording you will be able to cover the topic well enough, I think. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:01, 22 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::Well, for Dragonlance there are twenty-five dieties for most ages, and that number drops by one during the Age of Mortals. Dwarves don't believe in one set, elves another etc. It really is one pantheon. I will create a page as an example, and if it doesn't work, we can delete it, and my feelings won't be hurt. That work for you? --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 11:17, 22 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::That's fine, and if it is a pantheon then I am wrong&ndash; but that does not mean your page will be wrong. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:19, 22 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Deletions ==<br />
<br />
Hi Green Dragon, if I can just get a clarification on what I've been calling "only author requests deletion" (which has mostly been cases where a contributor realizes they've made some fundamental mistake, and no other contributors have been involved). If I understand correctly 1) This is okay as long as it's gone through the normal minimum 2 weeks of being tagged for deletion without being contested, and 2) "only contributor requests deletion" ''itself'' isn't a deletion rationale - the article must be considered on its own merits. Correct?<br />
<br />
Thanks again for your support and advice. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 13:41, 29 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
Also... ''so much spam removed!'' I feel like I'm doing spring cleaning. Still a lot to do though. If you get chance, I advise looking into an alternative to reCaptcha, as apparently the spambot writers have found an exploit in it. This is why so many forums and wikis that use reCaptcha have been hit hard by spam from January onwards. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 13:46, 29 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:I already mentioned this on Marasmusine's [[User_Talk:Marasmusine|talk]] page, but there's a reCapcha alternative that uses a different system. Perhaps if we used both systems that would help. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 14:24, 29 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::The page must be considered on its own merits. Keep in mind "I want this done", "it should be so", etc are not legitimate reasons. Deletion is about the page&ndash; we don't care what people think (it would make for too many situations where subjectivity rules). For example please see [[Blackstone Knight (3.5e Class)]].<br />
::I'll see what is a good route for this spam problem. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 08:56, 2 March 2012 (MST)<br />
:::Oki doki. I've been at Wikipedia so long that their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion speedy deletion] process is ingrained in me (in this case, their criteria G7). Clearly some of these criteria we do have (G11 for spam, and I would hope G10 and G12. Also G9 would effectively be your right as site owner) but I will otherwise adjust my thinking :)<br />
:::On a related note, at Wikipedia an admin wouldn't delete an article that they themselves proposed for deletion. That way at least two users have reviewed an article before it's removed. Similarly, I don't intend to delete anything at [[:Category:Candidates for Deletion]] that I've personally tagged (unless you think that's OK). [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 01:53, 3 March 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::Ya, all those speedy deletion reasons seem pretty good.<br />
::::I would wait and see what happens to the pages you make candidates. If their reason is a speedy deletion reason then I would encourage the opposite behavior of waiting, but in other instances it makes sense. Use precedents when possible and if there are no precedents then use your judgement I guess. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 05:27, 3 March 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::Honestly, if we kept by a policy that you can't delete anything that you've tagged, the category would never get cleaned up. For instance, a while back I went through a bunch of the d20 Modern stuff to add deletion tags; there's not really anyone else on the wiki who's into d20 Modern, so nobody commented on the deletion tags. I just waited significantly longer than the traditional 2 weeks before deleting anything. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 08:02, 10 March 2012 (MST)<br />

::Those are campaign specific pages, and you're moving them to generic environment and deity categories, as well as changing names of pages to names that are incorrect and do not reflect the nature of the pages (Such as the Pantheon of Tirr), and you have not followed through on every conversion, as some links remain unchanged, even if you seemed to have reason for what you're doing.

It is not a depository of copyrighted information, it is a collaborative work environment. Every time you edit you agree to the disclaimer "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." There's been legal arguments back and forth, but short of a real copyright lawyer sending cease and desist letters the outcome will be the same as it always has been: "not wanting something" is not a good enough reason to delete any page on the wiki. If it can be deleted for any reason listed in our deletion policy, then and only then can it be a candidate for deletion. (Note that even when you delete something it is still accessible.

:::::What about that was lying, direct rudeness or ill-considered accusations? You cannot dictate what I think, after all. I know my thoughts quite well, and what I've thought in the past, and present. And we do have a problem with IPs and bots. And he can take his articles elsewhere, if he wants, leaving the ones he has here, well, here.

== Anti-Christ ==<br />
<br />
Hi GD, just want to confer with you on this one. I see [[Anti-Christ (3.5e Class)]] was briefly discussed above as an example of an article that is "complete" but universally derided. As it has now been tagged for deletion for over a year now without improvement, and no-one has contested the deletion proposal, I've gone ahead and removed it (and good riddance in my opinion). <br />
<br />
I'd like your opinion on that - I'll restore it if you think it needs to remain. Thanks, [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 03:05, 3 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Ya. If that page had been improved I may say don't, but it looks to me like someone just made it to but a lot of overpowered "dark" class features together to become a "critique on religion". Not only did it seem ineffective, it did not make use of D&D well and deletion seems warranted to me. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 08:15, 3 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Hah, yes, I've ''have'' been checking "what links here" but sometimes when there's a complete clusterflap of redirects I end up missing some. For example, <s>Talk:Trolls, LotR (DnD Race)</s> was listed for deletion and that led me on a merry chase to get <s>Talk:Trolls â€â€LotR (DnD Race)</s>, <s>Trolls, LotR (DnD Race)</s>, <s>Trolls (LotR Race)</s>, <s>Talk:Trolls (LotR Race)</s>, <s>Talk:Trolls (DnD Race)</s>, <s>Trolls (DnD Race)</s> and <s>Trolls â€â€LotR (DnD Race)</s>! Thanks for catching the ones I missed.<br />
<br />
::I can also regularly check [[Special:BrokenRedirects]]. And, oh my goodness, have you seen [[Special:DoubleRedirects]]? [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 09:58, 3 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::I should have looked closer as many of the deleted pages related to the same page (I now see that). When that happens I make mistakes sometimes too, since keeping track of the tabs can be lost in the process. I understand where you are coming from.<br />
:::You can regularly check [[Special:BrokenRedirects]]. I keep thinking that sometime someone will make a bot (a kinda smart one) that will deal with those pages. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:04, 3 April 2012 (MDT)<br />

== Wrongfully IP Blocked ==<br />
<br />
Hello friend, I attempted to make an account several days ago and was unable to until 4/5/2012, as apparently my IP specifically was blocked for 'spamming links' to outside sites. Unfortunately, I had no account to begin with until this moment here. So i'm unsure if someone was just using my IP to spam the D&D Wiki itself given I had no account at the time.<br />
<br />
As such, I was unable to communicate with any of the personnel (admins) until 4/5/2012+, I think it might be in the best interest to provide emails on the admin user pages that do not require me to go to user only pages should this arise for other individuals, when one doesn't have an account in the first place. I've been fairly patient and merely want to let you know about this. <br />
<br />
Thanks, Lord Valarath Ti'nirion<br />
<br />
You may reach me at valarath@hotmail.com, or my talk page here [[LValarath]] Thanks again for your time.<br />
<br />
:I'm pretty sure that if you try to edit a page a message should come up with a link for you to email the blocker. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 13:55, 11 April 2012 (MDT)<br />

Unfortunately, I didn't have an account at the time, so, editing wasn't an option and didn't bring up much of anything, but, I do appreciate the response, thanks! --[[User:LValarath|Valarath]]<br />

== Ursanare vital stats ==<br />
<br />
I found the Ursanare page and have decided to create a campaign that involves them. My problem for this is that the page dosen't include the ageing effects and random age/weight/height systems. I like to develop my NPCs based on these stats. If you could add that(or if you could let me do it), I would be grateful.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your time,<br />

== IP continues to randomly boost articles ==<br />
<br />
As the title states, we've been having a number of anonymous edits lately, boosting attributes of various races, classes, and even some flaws and feats. They're also removing templates from articles, such as balance concerns and April Fools' Disclaimers. The IP in question is 71.217.38.58. I know you've banned similar IPs, possibly the same person refreshing his addresses or something, but is there a way to take care of him, and if so, please do, if you've no qualms with doing so. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 06:07, 12 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Homebrew Disclaimer ==<br />
<br />
On a forum I frequent, there was a common complaint about this site, this complaint being that most new players get confused thinking that the homebrew material is WotC material. Would there be a way to place a disclaimer or similar on the homebrew pages. If so then I would assist in placing the disclaimer on the pages. <br />
<br />
This would likely increase the credibility of this site. --[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 02:30, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:So, at the moment, we have things the other way round, with the SRD pages having the disclaimer. "Homebrew" is mentioned in the breadcrumb at the bottom of homebrew pages, but do you think it would be better to have some kind of disclaimer at the top? [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 03:28, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::I am aware of the SRD in the Titles, the OGL templates, and the information at the bottom of every page. But it seems that isn't enough for others (not 100% sure why). I think it would be best for a disclaimer to be placed at the top of the homebrew pages.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 03:42, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Homebrew, is part of the name. Part of the category. Part of the very definition of the word, for Pete's sake. 'Homebrew' in and of itself means, 'Not WotC material'. Break it down. Just look at the word. 'Home' and 'Brew'. Combined. Or? "Made at home." Thus, 'Homebrew' ...Now? Your saying you already know this? Good. Thats good. (But!) ...Some people don't. And 'we', the community, need to post a disclaimer to help these stray puppies out. Right? Som because they don't understand the meaning of the word 'Homebrew', which is everywhere! You click on it. ...We need to do more work?! NO WAY. That's nuts! Let em' rot! If you are not educated enough to understand the meaning of the word 'Homebrew', you are not educated enough to be playing this game. Let alone participating in the building and development of this website. This community does not pander to mobs. (All yours GD. Take it away.) --[[User:Jay Freedman|Jay Freedman]] 03:45, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
::::I know where Milo is coming from though. I recently spoke to a player new to the game, interested in using one of our 3.5e classes, and I ''think'' she was under the impression that it was "offical". In this case the class was rather complicated and undefined in areas and she was disappointed when I suggested it would need an experienced player and DM to run. Still, I'm not sure how any amount of disclaimerage would help. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 04:04, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::Jay, while we understand the difference perfectly and see it as clear as day, it seems this is a huge problem in the eyes of the D&D Community. So if you don't want to help make this wiki a better site you shouldn't be the type of person allowed to participating in the building and development of this website.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 04:10, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::Milo. Your words wound me, my friend. Lets stay objective here. Your 'Forum Community' has a problem with this site. Not the D&D Community as a whole. Naughty naughty. Thus, you requested a massive change in size and scope. Come on. Let's be real here. If your 'Forum Community' can't understand the meaning of the word 'Homebrew'. Then no 'Disclaimer' this-side-of-Kansas is going to help them. I'm not insulting your friends. Just trying to avoid pasteing the words ''(Homebrew: Not WotC: Not SRD: 3.5e: Which is not 4e: Or 5e either:)'' ...above every article on the site. I have standards for intelligence. And my standard score for this website is +0 for rolled stats. Anything lower? And we shouldn't be pandering. --[[User:Jay Freedman|Jay Freedman]] 04:33, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::Jay, you don't seem to actually grasp the reason behind my suggestion. As it isn't intelligence that is the problem with the individuals. It is actually ignorance. People who have only recently started to play likely wouldn't notice the fact that the page doesn't have SRD in the title and might not have even heard of SRD, also they likely wouldn't read the footer of the page. <br />
<br />
:::::::As for this sites reputation, it is commonly known in the D&D community as being horrible. The reason I mention the forum I frequent is because it was a Thread on that forum that raised this suggestion. My forum community does understand the word Homebrew (which is evident as it has a Homebrew section), but the problem lies in the friends of them who are new to play the game and end up asking to use the homebrew material. --[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 04:46, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::Alright man. I can't convince you. I get it. But is it really our communities job as a DnD Wiki to educate every single new gamer in the universe? Edit every article again and again until the world 'gets it'. ...I'll let you pick your battles. Go ahead and fight the good fight. But I've been there man. ...And your walking a long and lonely road. No good dead goes unpunished eh? Good luck. --[[User:Jay Freedman|Jay Freedman]] 04:53, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::I agree with Jay on this. This wiki has a very short learning curve. If you come here, and read the help file, you will know these are not "Official". I don't think having a template, or even making the whole page bright red will educate them. Also, a template at the top of just about every article would be hideous. --[[User:Ganre|Ganre]] 07:01, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::Strangely I have been on this site for 4 years and has never been on any of the help pages. And this wiki's learning curve is rather flat, it expects everyone to already understand what SRD and Homebrew. While that is generally fine, most people outside of this site see this as a serious problem. As for the look, it wouldn't be like a Deletion Template, I was thinking more the OGL Top template. I suggest it says something such as ''The following content is unofficial content and is not endorsed by Wizards of the Coast.'' that at the top of the page would likely suffice.<br />
<br />
:::::::::This whole problem comes from new players who come to this site, they don't seem to come from the main page, instead coming from an article. This means they likely will not notice the page is part of the homebrew section. If one of the first things they notice is this disclaimer I believe it will help stop misunderstandings. I aim for this suggestion to help the reputation of this site.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 07:27, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::I think that it is unimportant whether any of us believe we should, or should not, teach people things we believe they should already know. We, as editors, and possibly the core of the community as it stands, only have one duty: To maintain this site, a '''wiki''', in a way that leads to the greatest possible level of accessibility and communicates the greatest possible level of understanding of its content. If this change, a top-level policy change, can be considered ultimately beneficial with little to no change in the function of our little encyclopedia, then we should do it.<br />
<br />
::::::::::Simply put, its not a whole lot of work to just stick a new template into any page we see lacking it, and we are better for it. Whether we should have to, or not, is largely irrelevant to our duty as editors. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 08:27, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::I am definately in agreement with JW. People just need to pay attention to all details they read and apply some common sense rules. To me "Homebrew" means created by other players. Also, on the [[3.5e Open Game Content]] page, it lists what SRD is. There shouldn't be any confusion. Isn't to me, and I know I am not the brightest bulb in the fixture.--[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 09:23, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::::Can you change the background by namespace? Then we could just watermark such a message on the SRD namespace and a different one in the Main namespace (for example). Templateing all the pages with such a template is pointless. Working within the namespaces is the only real option. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 09:47, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::::I always asked Blue Dragon and Tarkis about stuff like that. Somebody who knew more about Wiki Coding and shortcuts. I don't have an answer for you GD. Sorry man. Maybe one of these other guys is familiar with namespaces. --[[User:Jay Freedman|Jay Freedman]] 19:26, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Images for OGC pages ==<br />
<br />
I have talked to a lot of fellow D&D players located here in Saskatchewan, Canada and they seem to all have a similar request. They would love to see the Open Game Content pages to contain picture of the weapons/armor/items/creatures since most do not have descriptions. I know it is a big request with the massive amount of pages, but most of them feel that if the Homebrew pages are required to have pictures, so should the OGC pages.<br />
<br />
I am a big fan of this site and use it all the time. I just wanted to say thank you for all the work you do here.<br />
<br />

== Redirect deleting and Captcha ==<br />
<br />
Hi GD, two quickies:<br />
#Is it necessary for deletion proposals for "unneeded redirects" and "double redirects" to go through the two-week incubation period for deletions, or can I treat them as "speedy deletions"? I'm weary about having to add a delete template to every page in [[Special:DoubleRedirects]] rather than dealing with them straight away.<br />
#Regarding an alternative to Captcha, [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Anti-spam_features#CAPTCHAs MediaWiki] suggests " Asirra CAPTCHA" as an alternative (which asks users to distinguish between cats and dogs), might be worth looking into. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 14:00, 24 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
Do people have to pass CAPTCHA to create an account? if so, it isn't working. --[[User:Ganre|Ganre]] 16:33, 24 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
::It works generally, but there are tools go get past it ("decaptcha"). If it works 99.99% of the time, a modest 10000 daily spambot hits can still create 10 registered accounts per day. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 10:10, 25 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
:I'd think it should be considered "delete at-will" or speedy deletion worthy in respect to content; In regards to Unneeded Redirects, there usually is ''no'' content on the page to be deleted, and therefore seems like a justified deletion. That said, still Green Dragon's call. Just making commentary in favor. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 07:15, 25 April 2012 (MDT)<br />

So, here's hoping this isn't just my browser, but for some reason, I'm seeing a lot of strange formatting issues on most pages: Balance Templates are aligned left, and Category boxes are now vertical. I looked through recent changes, but couldn't find anything that would have been relevant. Anyone see the same things, and if so, got any ideas on how to rectify it? [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] ([[User talk:Jwguy|talk]]) 08:28, 9 May 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Its the upgrade. I think the alignment is a problem with [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] (the part about alignment options) and the categories we are still unsure about. Not positive how to fix the first problem though. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] ([[User talk:Green Dragon|talk]]) 11:41, 9 May 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::The last update, as far as the wiki's history says, was on the seventh of April, though. I don't the problem has been around for a month, at least, not that I've noticed. It literally just seemed to appear within the last week or two. Did you mean an upgrade in the webshell/backend? [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] ([[User talk:Jwguy|talk]]) 10:46, 10 May 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::MediaWiki's upgrade to 1.19.0. I should have got templates, but I am certain there are still more problems (e.g. categories). See the [[Template:News|news]] for information on how to proceed. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] ([[User talk:Green Dragon|talk]]) 17:37, 10 May 2012 (MDT)<br />

== Klas Wullt and his Settings ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Hello. <br />
I wonder if I can talk to someone generally about my setting.<br />
I have been working hard to add some of the features I was suggested to, in order to raise it<br />
to closer to 5/5 setting.<br />
It might seem pretentious.<br />
I have been off line a long time but now I am motivated again.<br />
<br />
In particular I wonder about style advice.<br />
<br />
== Welcome script ==<br />
<br />
I think your script is creating welcome pages for deleted spam accounts(example:[[User talk:Neurigere1983|Neurigere1983]]) --[[User:Ganre|Ganre]] ([[User talk:Ganre|talk]]) 11:34, 21 May 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Actually I don't use a script to welcome new users, so I just go down the new users log and click all the talk pages. It's easier for me to do all of them in case I make mistakes, so I can then see that they are all blue links. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] ([[User talk:Green Dragon|talk]]) 12:49, 21 May 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Permanent Access ==<br />
<br />
Hi GD, for some reason the site it's bloking me still. My PC is clean. So can you give permanent access to the D&D Wiki? Thx<br />
<br />
:You will have to give me more information. Is it Cloudflare or MediaWiki? What is the error message that you are seeing? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] ([[User talk:Green Dragon|talk]]) 20:04, 28 May 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Preload typos ==<br />
<br />
There are a few spelling mistakes in the Class/Racial Paragon Class preload ("mulitplying", "Abbrieviated", "innapplicable") and the Prestige Class preload ("persue", "thows", "abreviated"). There's also well over three hundred pages that still have the errors in them, but that's probably not fixable.<br />
<br />
== IP block problems ==<br />
<br />
Hi GD, just want to let you know that [[User_talk:Marasmusine#What_is_this.3F|This problem happened again]]. I've unblocked the source account so hopefully our contributor can edit again, but perhaps you could check the IPs and make sure she's clear. I am not going to block any more spam accounts (spambot hits are one-shot affairs anyway, hardly seems any point in blocking them).

<br />
== Keeping track of new/ongoing discussions? ==<br />
Hey, I asked a question on [[Help talk:Talk Pages]] but I figured my best odds of getting an answer were here. You might still want to reply on that page though (I'll put it on my watchlist). Thanks in advance! [[User:BOb666777|BOb666777]] ([[User talk:BOb666777|talk]]) 08:48, 21 June 2012 (MDT)<br />

== Tisvelk ==<br />
<br />
Hey, I created a race called the [[Tisvelk]]. I was hoping you could take a look at it and give me some advice, or just tell me what you think.<br />
<br />
== problem adding a race ==<br />
<br />
Hello, Just a quick question, I have put together a race to contribute on here and it says "When you're done creating your race's new page, don't forget to put an entry into the proper Level Adjusted Races table" how do you do that? I cant seem to figure it out. the name of the race is "Seafaring" It's a 3.5 LA=1<br />
Thanks,<br />
Steve<br />
:Hi Steve, I've fixed this for you. The "comment" markers in [[Seafaring (3.5e Race)]] needed removing. At the bottom, it now says <nowiki>[[Category:LA1]]</nowiki> which means it's automatically listed at [[LA 1 Races]].

== I need some help with a build !! ==<br />
<br />
Hi, i don't know who i can ask this, i'am new on this<br />
community sorry.<br />
I need some help with this build :<br />
<br />
http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Sacred_Fist_of_the_Silver_Flame_%283.5e_Optimized_Character_Build%29<br />
<br />
about the armor class, how can the monk wear a full armor plate and that does not lose the flurry <br />
of blows, because the ability of the Shiba Protector from Faiths of Eberron:<br />
<br />
Holy Armor (Ex): Beginning at 2nd level, you<br />
retain the AC bonus granted by your monk levels<br />
(including Wisdom bonus to AC), even when wearing<br />
armor or carrying a shield or a medium or heavy load.<br />
This doesn’t extend to any other monk class features<br />
lost when wearing armor or carryinga load (such as fast<br />
movement and flurry of blows).<br />
<br />
does not let you wear armor and retain the flurry of blows ability.<br />
<br />
thanks<br />

== armored flurry of blows feat, rating ! ==<br />
<br />
hi, i would really appreciate an opinion for this feat, it's my first contribution, i'am new<br />
here so i surely need some experience to become better.<br />
<br />
http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Armored_flurry_of_blows_%283.5e_Feat%29<br />
<br />
and i would like to ask you, where can i find my feat on this site, what category or else ??<br />
<br />
:The Main talk page is really the best place to ask for page evaluations, but here's my advice. You should add some categories: type "<nowiki>[[Category:Flurry of Blows Feat]] [[Category:Martial Style Feat]] [[Category:3.5e]] [[Category:Feat]] [[Category:User]]</nowiki>" at the bottom. You could list it manually at [[3.5e Martial Style Feats]], but really that page needs rewriting so that it automatically lists the appropriate feats. Be aware that there is an almost identical feat, [[Armored Monk (3.5e Feat)]]. Those more familiar with Monks than me should discuss as to which is the more balanced. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 07:47, 1 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
:Also noticed that your feat doesn't use the preload. Try using the form at [[Add New DnD Character Option]]. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 08:02, 1 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
<br />
thanks, but where in the main page can i ask for a rating ?<br />
and what is this preload ?<br />
i did the feat with the add new dnd charachter option!<br />
:Hi Dean, you can sign your posts by type four tildes ("<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>"). The main talk page is at [[Talk:Main Page]]. Using the "Create New Feat" button would have "preloaded" a template and some categories into your page. You just need to fill in the template fields and it organizes the formatting for you. Have a look at [http://www.dandwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Armored_Monk_(3.5e_Feat)&action=edit this example] - if you like you can copy it over to your page and alter it as needed.

The link for Add your own [[Form:3.5 Creature Overview| Creature Overview]] says "page does not exist" on the [[3.5e Creature Overviews | 3.5e Creature Overviews]] page. Would it be possible to get this working or have a link to be able to create a 3.5 Creature Overview please?<br />

== Lesser Deity List ==<br />
<br />
I submitted a new Deity, "[[Yusograd the Free]]." I specified information about him on the main page, but it didn't show up on the [[3.5e Lesser Deities]] page (except his name). I saw that you were the main editor of that page, so I was wondering if you could explain and possibly fix the issue? I couldn't figure out how to edit the list (breadcrumb?), as it didn't show the actual items when I tried.<br />

:I also Submitted a new Deity [[Karura (3.5e Deity) | Karura]] in the [[3.5e Greater Deities | 3.5e Greater Deities]] Page and it did not show up at all...

Hey Green Dragon,<br />
:I was just wondering if I could somehow *cough (advertise)* help with my sourcebook, D&D 4.0 Future Sourcebook. It's a little slow going and I'm not on here often anymore. I just need a little bit of help. So, I don't know if I'm allowed to do that. Just let me know on my talk page, okay? It'll be best because I'll probably forget about the question and then I won't check over here (unless I do remember, but can you just contact me on my talk page?). Thanks. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] ([[User talk:Axl|talk]]) 18:28, 15 August 2012 (MDT)<br />

<br />

== Disturbing news about [[D&D 4.0 Future (4e Sourcebook)/Chapter 5: Equipment/4e Upgrades]] ==<br />
<br />
I found something disturbing in the above link. Apparently it is a ''Candidate for Deletion''. May I ask why? Also, has someone been going through the stuff that was in there and deleting everything from the Heroic Tier section? I don't want anyone deleting ANYTHING in D&D 4.0 Future unless I state that I want it deleted. You know what else that I find disturbing? There isn't even a "Delete" template shown on there. Is this an attempt to delete stuff behind my back? I want answers. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] ([[User talk:Axl|talk]]) 16:10, 23 August 2012 (MDT)</div>Axlhttps://www.dandwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Yusograd_the_Free_(3.5e_Deity)&diff=584754Yusograd the Free (3.5e Deity)2012-08-16T00:31:11Z<p>Axl: </p>

[[File:Symbol of Yusograd.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Yusograd the Free is the embodiment of freedom and luck. He is known to be somewhat crazy and unpredictable, particularly in his dealings with mortals (explaining his symbol of a twisted skull). Despite his total lack of evil, he is sometimes frowned upon by clergymen of good allignment, and certainly by paladins and other lawful followers. Yusograd is often worshipped by Rogues and others who are ultimately only concerned about their own well-being, contributing to his poor image amongst the Good.<br />
<br />
=== Dogma ===<br />
<br />
Although in technicality Yusograd's followers are held to no standards on what to do and not do besides to live their life however they think they should, they generally avoid doing anything that negatively affects others' freedom, in a "practice what you preach" manner. This is paid attention to the most by his good followers, who actually make up the majority of his followers (specifically Chaotic Good).<br />
<br />
=== Clergy and Temples ===<br />
<br />
The clergy of Yusograd is highly unorganized, and generally travel throughout the land (and even the Planes) spreading his free-willedness. There are no official temples to Yusograd, although personal shrines to him are not uncommon. Yusograd worship is most common in places that are anarchist, although these are also the places in which deity worship is typically the least publicized.<br />

== 4 Edition Summaries ==<br />
<br />
Long time no see. I was wondering if I am allowed to put small summaries of the 4 edition races in my Campaign's races page. It would be name, size, stat bonus and racial features.<br />
<br />
I am asking because the races I want to put in are rather small, and it seems strange to just have a couple of things on one page. The official 4 edition races would be for comparison. [[Celen Joad]] 11:05, 13 January 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Of course. The official races, however, you can't add. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:21, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />

Does anyone think that giants could become a race? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 17:23, 26 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Does [[SRD:Giants, Hill (Race)|this]] & [[SRD:Giants, Stone (Race)|this]] help? --[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 18:57, 26 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
::Er, I mean for D&D 4e. Not 3.5e. Sorry. Do you think that even Devils and Demons could become races in 4e? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 16:47, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::I don't see why not. Some things may give you direction, ideas, and so forth. The [[Horned Devil (4e Race)|horned devil]] you created, the [[Cambion (4e Race)|cambion]], [[Infernal Blooded (4e Race)|infernal blooded]] relate to name a few. With regard to giants, [[Half-Giant (4e Race)|half-giant]], [[Hill Giant (4e Race)|hill giant]] may give you direction, ideas, and so forth to name a few. Does this help at all? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:18, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />

:::::I took a look at it, and modified [[Template:Needsbalance]]'s reason. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 21:39, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::::Okay, I looked at it. Maybe, instead, I could make a paragon path that allows wings (I looked in the Player's Handbook 2 and it allows the dragonborn to have an overland flight speed of 12)? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 21:49, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::::Is that a power though? If you make it something like a power, I imagine that would balance it. A paragon path with the same goal could give you flying results too. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:02, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::::::Well, at level 12, it allows you to make a brief flight. But at level 16, you gain the overland flight. But this is only if you choose that paragon path. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 21:46, 29 January 2011 (MST)<br />

:No problem. Do you think the revision history link is superfluous (and counter-productive)? Should the text be condensed? Thoughts? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:44, 6 April 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::The history link... What do you mean by if it's superfluous? I don't think the text should be condensed. Well, lets see... Do you think that giants are really that bad? Can Giants wield Medium weapons? Also, Giants aren't readly accepted into society (they kinda have a bad reputation). Also, weapons cost more (if you get them from a non-giant source, and that's if they even '''want''' to make one for a giant that they know nothing about). --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 14:40, 9 April 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Giants ==<br />
<br />
Hey Green Dragon. I talked with my brother, and he said that bursts weren't that bad. Do you think that giants should be practically normal, but the user chooses whether to pick a power or a feature (you can only have one or the other; not both)? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 15:07, 1 February 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:I've never seen that used before, and it could make for confusion. I'd recommend just toning down the burst and the class feature, but bursts are interesting, I agree. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 23:15, 6 April 2011 (MDT)<br />

== Meaning of Meaningful Gestures? ==<br />
<br />
Was reading [[Catgirl,_Domestic_(3.5e_Race)|Catgirls]], and was a tad jarred by the "Meaningful gesture" section under [[Catgirl,_Domestic_(3.5e_Race)#Names|Names]]. Without any explanations given for these gestures, is this meant to be presented as a "Interpret as you will" type listing, or was this something that was going to be expanded upon further? Using known data about real-life felines and fictional Japanese catgirls as a starting point, I have compiled a very extensive list of different Body Language messages which we use for a local Catgirl character, which you are more than welcome to use if you wish. I'll be watching this page for a response. {{Unsigned|96.229.186.168|07:39, 8 February 2011 (UTC)}}<br />
<br />
:That is fine to add that to [[:Category:Catgirl|those pages]]. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:02, 9 February 2011 (MST)<br />

== Just another new guy asking around... ==<br />
<br />
SO I've been told about the treasure trove of optional ideas that have been continuing the sprit of 3.5 by my newest D&D group and after a (strangely lucid) dream I came up with the following:<br />
<br />
Spell Slayer<br />
<br />
This +3 crystalline Mage Bane Longsword when wielded by a spell caster on impact allows the caster to make a DC 30 Spellcraft check.<br />
On a successful check the sword ether casts vampiric touch (as caster level 6, max 3 times per combat) OR, if the target is a spellcaster it <br />
steals one (1) random spell. Spells stolen this way are stored until the end of combat and are dispelled afterwards. A caster with the Arcane<br />
Strike feat may sacrifice spells stolen in this manner for the bonuses provided by the feat. (For cost see Holy Avenger)<br />
<br />
<br />
Crystalline Weapon property<br />
<br />
This material is primarily used to make weapons for and against spellcasters. It provides an additional (stacks with magical bonuses) equipment <br />
bonus +1 to hit and damage versus targets with magical abilities or properties (supernatural abilities or uncast spells are examples of this). <br />
In addition it provides a +1 to caster level for all spellcasters wielding or possessing such a weapon, hafted weapons do not confer the caster level bonus. All weapons crafted from Crystalline are considered master work. (For cost see Adamantine)<br />
<br />
Now I don't want to post anything retardedly over powered up on the site (like some of the things I have seen/heard) and would like some advice before I throw it up on the site since I haven't seen a forum section (yet).<br />
<br />
<br />
:The best way to get things looked at is to just take the plunge and create the page. If it is retardedly over-powered, people will tell you. Most people here will offer constructive criticism and will genuinely want to help you improve/complete/flesh out your 'fill in the blank'. Spelling and grammar checks are also staples of the site. PS. always remember to sign your comments by typing in two - followed by four ~. --[[User:Calidore Chase|Calidore Chase]] 03:29, 21 February 2011 (MST)<br />

== Hello ==<br />
<br />
Hey. Umm I'm just joined your site; I'm wondering if there is anything i should know (like guidelines for what and what not to post). I'm kind of wondering how to make classes. P.S.: I'm guessing those little #s in red and green are reputation points. --[[User:Knave67|Knave 67]] 00:19, 22 February 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Classes for which edition? Any of the "create" boxes will use the correct preload if you use them, giving direction for the class. The preloads (some are listed [[Help:Standards and Formatting (DnD Guideline)#Preloads|here]]) should tell you what the class is. As everything is different in nature, telling you how something should be created is not possible. Of course guidelines exist, and [[DnD Guidelines]] may help you. Most things are balanced off similar things and, as mentioned above, if something is retardedly overpowered people will tell you. Does this help? Also what do you mean by the post scriptum you mentioned above? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 18:18, 21 February 2011 (MST)<br />

Oh okay I thought it was like a karma system or something along those lines. Also thank you Mr.Chartreuse Wyvern I wanted to make a class but it looks more complicated than a pictureless jigsaw puzzle so right now i'm just browsing the cite looking for boffo nuggets.<br />

== new type of creature ==<br />
<br />
Hello I'm working on a hybrid type. half giant red dragon. created by a crazy wizard, for would domination basically. however the creatures have morals and are therefore useless to him, so he abandons them. the creatures themselves would be fairly tall I'm think 7 - 8 an a half feet, strength and con bonuses with hits to car a level adjustment. any advice or an opinion on it would be greatly appreciated. {{Unsigned|Wytewulf|22:18, 24 February 2011 (UTC)}}<br />

Green Dragon, I am new to the d and d wiki community and i cant figure out how to create my own class.

== Deities secion ==<br />
<br />
I was browsing through the 3.5e Deities section and I encountered multiple entries that were meant only as jokes. Thas is not suitable. This is the first time I use this Wiki, and all those prank articles didn't leave a very good impression. I wish to request an immediate clean-up in the Deities section and remove all fake deities. I understand it may be fun to add Ceiling Cat as a Deity but this kind of humor is not appropriate here.<br />

:The 'Not Appropriate' part made me snicker a bit, honestly, as I had to consider whether D&D was serious business, for a moment. That said, it's just as easy to pass by the joke deities and move onto a real one. Until the number becomes far greater than the number of real deities, I say it is alright to leave it as it is.

== Question??? ==<br />
<br />
Hey Green Dragon.. This is Dj00345... i have a question for the 2.5e Homebrew that you are letting me create for the wiki.... How can i create a Template for some of the pages????? i notice when i create a new creature that there is already typing on the white screen when you create a creature... i know that is a template... but how do i create my own template myself???? i need to make some of the templates for the other links, like: Deities, Equipment, Spells, Races, Class, and the others, so that when people create a page, then the right information will already be on the screen and all they have to do is create the page.... do you understand what i am saying???? please reply back on my user talk page... thx!!! [[User:Dj00345|Dj00345]] 13:53, 2 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Just create the page. When creating it the formatting guidelines to use can be found [[Add Instructions|here]]. After it is created you use a inputbox and put it on preload=. Does this answer your question? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 18:59, 5 May 2011 (MDT)<br />

== 3.5e Campaign Setting Teoryran ==<br />
<br />
How can improve my Teoryran Setting. How can I create classes for Teoryran with the same name but different from existing classes of the same name? I am making a new system. Where all base classes are racial and status based on:<br />
<br />
* Each race have four subraces for peasants, nobles, priests and a variable fourth.<br />
* Each subrace have a class<br />
* Each social caste have classes based on them.<br />
<br />
Noble orcs can be samurai and noble humans can be knights. Human and orc serfs can be scoundrels, thiefs or conscriped soldiers. There will be different classes for priests and monks than for nobility. "Big changes" include:<br />
<br />
* only racial classes gives hp<br />
* carrier classes doesn't give HP<br />
* gold is removed<br />
<br />
--[[User:Klas|Klas Wullt]], 01:42 13 May 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:For the pages with the same name you include ", Teoryran". For example "Orc, Teoryran (3.5e Race)". For the subraces you include their subrace after the comma (much like the SRD elves). For example "Orc, Teoryran Peasant (3.5e Race)". The classes can then, of course, be their favored class. If it is the fighter, for example, it would be "Fighter, Teoryran (3.5e Class)" and/or "Fighter, Teoryran Peasant (3.5e Class)". For the game mechanic changes you may have to make a [[3.5e Rules|rule]] or include it some way. When you have them made I can take a look at them and see if it makes sense. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 20:08, 22 May 2011 (MDT)<br />

Hello. I need some help for my setting. Teoryran World. How do I sort the pages correctly? {{User:Klas Wullt|Klas|01:16, 23 May 2011 (UTC)}}<br />
<br />
:What do you mean by sorting the pages? By category? By name? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 20:09, 22 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
Thanks for the Offer.<br />
Here, I just made on class.<br />
Please take a took at it.<br />
[[Knight, Teoryran(3.5e Class)]].<br />
<br />
:Sorry for taking your time, I want two things!<br />
:I am writing lots of notes on my computer how to make the setting better<br />
:so I need to ask somethings.<br />
<br />
:*About Categories<br />
:First, Sorry if I ask this, but I sort the pages by category?<br />
<br />
:*About the Setting Points.<br />
:Second, what does it take to make my Setting improve from 3/5 where it is now to the 4/5 rating that I want?<br />
:Detailed starting adventures?, detailed city maps?<br />
<br />
::Yes, you should add [[:Category:Teoryran Setting]] to the things which relate to Teoryran. To improve it, a discussion for its talk page, you should probably format Teoryran so one can find their way back, one can find all the pages about Teoryran, etc. Also deities, pantheons, character options, quests, encounters, and maybe more, and missing. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 12:47, 13 June 2011 (MDT)<br />

===Requests 4/5 points===<br />
I have added pantheons, gods and someother things.<br />
I dont have much game mechanical information yet.<br />
Please take a look after the updates. Thanks for your time.<br />

== 3.5e Equipment List - new category (Page editing locked) ==<br />
<br />
Hi Green,<br />
<br />
I'm a new user to Wiki & would appreciate some helpful advice :-)<br />
<br />
Going to start a new D&D campaign this year with a Pirate theme. When people think of Pirates, thier main thoughts are Pirate Ships, Cannons, Flintlock Pistols & Cutlasses.<br />
<br />
Flintlock's can easily be replaced with Hand Crossbow's, Cannons needed some more thought.<br />
<br />
I do not want to introduce gunpowder into the campaign so as an alternative i've decided to go with Gnomish Engineering and introduce some clockwork & steampowered machinery (Steampunk) resulting in Steam Cannon's aboard ships<br />
<br />
Decided the 3.5e equipment list therefore needs a new category of Gnome Engineering, a place for all things clockwork, steampowered or basic engineering (i.e. Piston Water Pumps)<br />
<br />
I don't think this technolgy would change game balance as there are many ancient technologies that have been rediscovered such as the Baghdad Battery & Eygptian Piston Ballista<br />
<br />
Created the Gnome Engineering category but can not link this category to the 3.5e Equipment list, as this page is locked for editing (for very good reasons, looks complicated)<br />
<br />
Are you able to help?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

== Economist talk page ==<br />
<br />
So, I was browsing through the recent talk page (as I often do), and I was confused by your recent actions on the talk page of the Economist. Care to elaborate? It seemed like someone asked a question on the discussion, and Jota responded with an answer to the question. You deleted the reply, and gave no reason as to why. Someone (a random IP) then went and undid you revert, presumably because you removed helpful and useful content without a reason. You blocked him for 3 months for edit warring, despite him only having a single contribution to the wiki. What happened to warnings? What happened to the increasing block length? Effectively, you banned someone from the wiki for 3 months because they undid one of your edits, which you made without any reason at all. What's going on? --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:05, 24 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:This whole "other wiki" kerfuffle is getting out of hand. There's no reason this has to be a zero-sum game. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 21:30, 24 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::The [[Warning Policy]] is only for when one does not edit with civility and etiquette. This is unrelated. Edit warring is a block reason on WIkipedia's policies and therefore effective on D&D Wiki. I don't mean it to be a zero-sum game, but when someone answers with (shortened) "this answer is irrelevant, look elsewhere" it's a obscuration of spamming to external sites. Another common block reason. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 21:47, 24 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::The zero-sum part is black-holing any mention, however remote of another site*. It's either us or them. If they win, we lose (zero-sum). But there's no reason it has to be that way. Neither wiki is exactly crawling with people, and if we worked together instead of against each other (and looking rather silly while doing it, I might add), we would both be better off. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 22:12, 24 May 2011 (MDT) *Note, however, that it's only one site that gets people insta-blocked for a quarter. Other sites get mentioned without such severe penalties. In one case, I can think of a site that's mentioned multiple times that nobody seems to have any problem with...<br />
<br />
::::Interesting, but D&D Wiki is not going to have a committee of people who are a self-appointed oligarchy who serve the same function as the [[Meta Pages#Improving, Reviewing, and Removing Articles|improving, reviewing, and removing articles templates]] present. Additionally things on D&D Wiki cannot be stagnant, and things should improve when they can (e.g. user categories being replaced by [[Special:NewPages]], [[Template:Author]] being superseded by history, etc). For example. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:26, 24 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::GD, no one is telling you to change policy about reviewing content, or anything else of that ilk. Jazzman merely said, and I agree, that we should be allowed to say things exist. We have countless links to other forums and sites that host homebrew content, it seems foolish to block people for mentioning one in particular, no matter the history. We can all act like adults and just let it be. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 22:40, 24 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::Links are supposed to do though [[DnD Links]]. All other links are incorrect. However, as I see it, on userpages is okay as long as when one notices it they move it to DnD Links, because to me that seems more like the user is unaware or unknowing. However spamming of external links, yes, does get one banned. Does this kind of answer your question? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 23:59, 24 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::So, by your own admission, Jota and everyone else can post links to their other wikis on their user page, but not in the main namespace? Seems fair to me. I'll go ahead and add links to [[DnD Links]]. I'll assume users can still write something like "If you have any other questions, leave a message on my talk page", where they can post links to other sites (as you said yourself, user pages are fine for external links). Alright, sounds good. I'm glad we've finally come to some sort of agreement on this. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 01:05, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::No, that's taking it out of context. "on userpages is okay as long as when one notices it they move it to DnD Links" should be read as a full statement. Otherwise it's still a violation of policy. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:24, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::You're telling me that there shouldn't be any external links on User Pages then? I was under the impression that if they were also listed on DnD Links, that would be fine. Sometimes you'd want to give a more specific link, like say one to a particular article. The way you've phrased it, it seems like there should be no external links anywhere but on that DnD Links page. That doesn't make any sense at all. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 13:50, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::Well, maybe something like the w: could be made (as a template) for each link. Really, however, one should just direct one to [[DnD Links]] (that's why they are <tt><nowiki>{{#anc:}}</nowiki></tt>'ed). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 13:41, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::I understand what you're saying. I'm saying why make someone go to DnD Links, and then search the other site, when you could just as easily link to the exact page in the first place? DnD Links is certainly a good page, and designed for ease of reference, but I think it works best as a general tool, and for specific purposes one might as well link directly from one page to another, without using DnD Links. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 13:50, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
<-- Again, why? Can someone give me a reason why we are never allowed to link to other sites? I'm just not seeing the reasoning here other than to annex The Site Which Shall Not Be Named, and even that I can't see any good reasoning for. [[User:Hooper|Hooper]] is allowed to link to [[O.G.R.E.]] (which has it's own wiki page, btw; we aren't even allowed to ''mention'' the Other Wiki) with no repercussions, but an anon who undid an outright deletion of a post that vaguely mentions That Other Wiki was banned, without warning, for 3 months. Did they murder your favorite pet or something? Will the site really blow up if I decide to link to some innocent site that doesn't happen to me mentioned on DnD Links (which, judging by the traffic on that page, nobody looks at anyway)?<br />
<br />
Sadly, I've seen this exact same scenario on wikis before: site 1 does something that subset of the site doesn't like. Said subset creates their own wiki. Wiki 1 bans mentions of Wiki 2. Wiki 2 uses this as reasoning to orchestrate more and bigger attacks against Wiki 1. As the bickering continues both sites end up looking silly and losing who would otherwise be valuable members. The more we block them the more they will do things like [[Special:Contributions/Bird|Bird]] did, which are ultimately more harmful to the site than anything the users would do if we just played nice with them. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 15:40, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:So, should we do something like w: then? Currently, [[User:Hooper|Hooper]] should not be linking to any site not by way of [[DnD Links]]. I'm just following policy, be it fledgling or not. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 16:00, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::I don't know what w: means. What I want to do is allow people to link to other sites without having to go through DND links first. If that's what w: is then yes, we should do that.<br />
<br />
::If Hooper's not allowed to link to these sites, then do you want to clean out his userpage and delete [[O.G.R.E.]]? Because I can't see the reason for it. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 17:03, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Ironically, the best description I know of for the events that transpired is on the other wiki. A bunch of people decided to make a "rating committee". GD didn't like it. There was a bunch of silly squabbling, and the other wiki left, taking a ton of content and users with them. GD and everyone else were upset about who took what content, and the legality of that. Honestly, in my mind, this is the sort of thing that, after a week, could have blown over. Clearly we just need to share a beer, play some D&D, and realize how silly this fight is. Also, start allowing each other to link to each other's wikis. I can't speak with any certainty, but I am pretty sure they allow links to this wiki. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 15:58, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Go for it. I don't really want to do any cleaning out of userpages right now&ndash; I'm working on [[4e Deities]] as it is. I agree this is silly, however if links really are needed then someone (again, I don't care to do this) should make something like how [[Template:Background Information (Halo Supplement)]] treats links for each link. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:11, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::I'm not going to delete [[O.G.R.E.]] because it doesn't bother me and I don't understand why it's not allowed. I don't want to go angering Hooper, who's contributions are numerous and high-quality, if I don't have to. If you have time to block people for mentioning one site, I'm not sure why you are too busy to block people for mentioning another site. So how about instead we just allow everyone to link to sites?<br />
<br />
:::And if all we have to do in order to link to D&D wiki (err, the *other* one, anyway) is to create a template, then that's a piece of cake. Heck, I can make one that works even ''better'' than the one you linked to. Now everyone's happy! [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 17:45, 25 May 2011 (MDT) (BTW Green Dragon, I think you are having problems with your browser. For some reason when you edit it deletes parts of the page on accident).<br />
<br />
::::I'm not entirely sure why we need a template, especially one that would go at the bottom of the page like you linked. Maybe one at the top of the talk page? But, what would the template say, "This page contains external links. DanDWiki does not have any affiliation with any externally linked sites. Links do no necessarily reflect the views of DanDWiki and its owners"? --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 20:06, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::That's a good idea. And it could incorporate the switch extension. I just meant "like how [[Template:Background Information (Halo Supplement)]] treats links". --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 20:29, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::How about this:<br />
<br />
{| align=center border=1 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=2 style="text-align: center; background:#F4F0EC; color:black"<br />
! style= "background:#71A6D2" | <big><big>Attention!</big></big><br />
|-<br />
| '''This page contains external links.'''<br/><small>D&D Wiki does not have any affiliation with any externally linked sites. <br> Links do no necessarily reflect the views of D&D Wiki</small><br />
|}<br />
<br />
::::::It makes no sense to have a template for individual sites, or even as a way to include the link in the template. If it pleases the wiki, we can just make a <nowiki>{{template:external_link}}</nowiki> and go from there. Throw this up on a page, and we can have external links anywhere we want. Problem solved. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 20:56, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::I don't like how obtrusive that is. I would prefer something much less obtrusive, comparable to an expansion of the MW external link symbol. For example: <nowiki>[www.address.{{{1}}}] ([[DnD Links#site|link information]]</nowiki> [[File:Externallink.png|12px]] this external link does not have any affiliation with D&D Wiki) And, I would prefer having a hard list of sites because as the internet is full of sites with varying degrees of quality it is good to have some quality control over how it effects D&D Wiki. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:35, 26 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::Ok, well, considering that external links already have an associated image (or at least a symbol), why don't you just include a line of text below the edit window (by which I mean below the line "You are also promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a public domain or similar free resource. Do not submit copyrighted work without permission!") that says something to the effect of "Links to external sites must be deemed appropriate; inappropriate links subject to removal. See [[DnD Links]] for list of appropriate links." and we'll just say any page or subpage of a link on the DnD Links page can be freely linked to. I think the problem with including a template in this process is that we already have a ton of templates that we don't use because they are confusing or hard to find. Considering there is already a button for external links, we might as well use that. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 12:18, 26 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::What are your thoughts on just making a [[Meta Pages#Policies|policy]] which covers it and then adding text on [[DnD Links]] explaining it's function. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:27, 26 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::That sounds like the best possible plan. We allow external links, add a line in the policy about external links, and a brief summary about what should and should not be linked on the DnD links page. I'm glad we've finally come to some sort of agreement, and don't require the use of templates or other things that may be confusing to new users. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 19:35, 26 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::I just wanted to comment on something said much earlier. It was ''"Note, however, that it's only one site that gets people insta-blocked for a quarter. Other sites get mentioned without such severe penalties. In one case, I can think of a site that's mentioned multiple times that nobody seems to have any problem with..."''. Not true. I literally was blocked on [http://dungeons.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=&year=&month=-1 September 20th, 2009] after making four edits to that wiki - one redirecting a talk page to me, and three asking for a diff in a respectful manner. The block summary even stated some harsh thing. Don't pretend that one wiki is a white knight in this issue. I still don't understand why people won't just stay at their chosen wiki home, and ignore the other. ''(also, I only added the actual link because I'm understanding its now okay on talk pages? If thats not so delete it. I'm honestly having a hard time following.)''<br />
:::::::::::Now, as far as O.G.R.E.s is concerned. It is my understanding, and perhaps I am wrong in this understanding, that long ago it was decided not to link to "competing sites". OGREs may be another wiki ''(for now, but when our webmaster isn't paid, things take time)'' but it isn't a competing site. We're not looking for the same kind of content. Now maybe I'm wrong, and if so, delete it. But in my opinion, the D&D Other section is perfect for articles discussing the different gaming organizations and may be very pertinent to the common D&D Wiki browser's interest. &nbsp;<small><span style="border: 1px solid black; -moz-border-radius:10px">[[User:Hooper|'''<span style="background-color:White; color:Black; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px"> Hooper </span>''']][[User talk:Hooper|<span style="background-color:Black; color:white; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px">&nbsp;&nbsp;talk&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Hooper|<span style="background-color:black; color:white">&nbsp;&nbsp;contribs&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>]][[Special:Emailuser/Hooper|<span style="background-color:black; color:white; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:10px; -moz-border-radius-topright:10px">&nbsp;&nbsp;email&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>]]</span></small> 21:35, 29 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::::Even if they did block you, that's not really a good reason to insta-block ''them''. Simply linking to that site isn't, in and of itself, a legitimate reason in my mind to block someone for ''3 months'', especially considering the specific case we were talking about. (Let's face it, were it anyone but GD, we might have thought the original reversion was vandalism; it is only because we saw his name beside it that we know it wasn't).<br />
<br />
::::::::::::As for O.G.R.E, I don't actually think it should be deleted, just as I don't think links to the other wiki should be deleted. But as far as I can tell, there's no differentiation between what links we are allowed to link to. Under the current rules as written, if we insta-ban people for mentioning one, it's completely hypocritical to pretend links to the other don't even exist. I'm not actually arguing that we enforce the rules against all sites, I think we need to change the rule entirely. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 22:05, 29 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::::What's an instablock? The block was for edit warring, see also [http://www.dandwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3A63.23.72.173]. It's unrelated. I have no idea about O.G.R.E.. Is it on [[DnD Links]]? Has it been looked over? If it's anything like your video channel (which I have seen) then i'd be fine. Of course this discussion is for elsewhere. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:11, 29 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::::::[http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/216.66.140.248 This] is an insta-block. A user's very first ever edit was a reversion of unexplained deletion of Jota's response. The guy can't be accused of edit warring when there were (liberally) only 2 reverts, only one of which was this guy a participant. If we go by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:3RR#The_three-revert_rule WP:3RR], it's not a revert war until one editor does ''three'' reverts in a 24-hour period. That editor hadn't even had three ''edits''. (The IP you linked to, by the way, only had 2 reverts, and was never even given a warning before he was blocked for 3 months.) Not only that, but had an IP or a new user deleted Jota's comment without explanation, the reversion of said deletion would probably be given exception from the 3RR, because to all appearances, deleting someone else's talk page comments is usually itself vandalism. Adding them back almost never is. At worst, the two IPs should have been given an explanation of how what they were doing was not allowed, a warning to discontinue their actions, and ''maybe'' blocked for a day to cool down.

:What do you mean? [[Races of Teoryran (Teoryran World Supplement)]] is understandable. It is missing its footer though. Is that what you mean? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 19:52, 26 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
Yes; sorry for being unclear.<br />
I Lack footers and I am unsure where to put my classes<br />
if they are not exactly base classes either?<br />
Variant rules?<br />
Should I greate a new page for racial classes?<br />
Or are they paragon classes?<br />
I am worried that some of the pages about info for the setting<br />
lack addresses and take up extra memory.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hello.<br />
We need a racial class category like that from Savage Species.<br />
Savage Species offers levels all the way up<br />
and they don’t just raise abilities at level 3.<br />
Can I make a suppliment page<br />
where I have my own classess,<br />
I might do it, you can delete if its improper.<br />
I would like some criticism for my classes.<br />
<br />
:I imagine what you are talking about should work as a [[3.5e Racial Paragon Classes|racial paragon class]] with a specific [[3.5e Races|race]] made for it. Though you may want to mention that you are using the monster class rules from [[Savage Species]]. If they are not racial paragon classes then yes, you should make a [[3.5e Rules|rule]] about them and link them from there. Don't worry about taking up space. It's of no concern. Does this help? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 12:29, 13 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:It does help alot, I think I prefere the combo Savage Species+ Paragon. and have started to work on it.Now my problem lies with what features to distribute.But aren't there any category where you can submit Savage Species Monster classes? Paragon classes, mostly allows you to reduce the weaknesses of a race, as I see it anyway, while monster classes sort of build the race from zero and up.The attempt to create different "races" for aristocrats and commoners,end up making them very similar except that commoners gets penalties the nobles don't.I have a dozen ideas, and edit back and forth.Still, if you took a look at these I made,you can se specific balancing is a problem.<br />

== Edit Revert? ==<br />
<br />
Why did you revert my edit on [[Talk:DnD Links]]? I didn't break any of your rules and, furthermore, I contributed to the discussion. You shouldn't just censor things because you don't agree with them... --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 13:44, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Because it's not adding anything new to the discussion. It's not pertinent, see also the reason. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 13:49, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::"Because it's not adding anything new to the discussion."<br />
::False. I gave an illustration of how GNU (and similarly GPL) actually works in practice and showed that the emphasis on the licenses was initially for code libraries/projects. That emphasis is a very important distinction because it provides more basis for the argument I'm making. This also provides some historical context for my argument.<br />
::I brought up how MySQL's licensing can be seen as a parallel example (actually I could have brought up Wikipedia too -- how do you think they transitioned from GPL 1.2 to GPL 1.3? Relicensing.).<br />
<br />
::"It's not pertinent, see also the reason."<br />
::Your reason is a complete strawman argument. ie. You are attacking an argument I didn't even make. Let's examine the exact "reason" you gave:<br />
::"wrong - there is no section 11 clause to the GNU FDL v1.2 (that's the whole -i think- MSQL legal dilema)"<br />
::Now go back to what I wrote. Did I write ''anything'' about section 11? No. In fact, earlier I already explained that section 11 does not apply in this case because this wiki is under GNU FDL 1.2 (the exact thing I said was "Anon, you are actually incorrect, unfortunately. This wiki uses GNU FDL 1.2 and no licenses can just suddenly retroactively patch a previous license.", see the context).<br />
::Also, you "think" that is the whole "MSQL legal dilema", but I never even said that this has anything to do at all with MySQL's legal dilemma. I was strictly comparing the fact that MySQL was able to transition to a dual license to authorship as a concept.<br />
::And, just to be a bit cheeky: you censored a well-written post meant to explain in detail my stance in a discussion. The whole point of that post was because you clearly were not responding intelligibly to what I had written earlier, so it seemed necessary to go into more detail. That's a pretty standard thing in a discussion. Elaborating on a point when the other party doesn't seem to understand.<br />
::What I'd like to hear is how you think authorship and licensing actually works. All you've done is say that others are wrong, but you have yet to provide any evidence to back up your claims. --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 14:10, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::It may not even be MySQL I am referring to. There is a conglomerate of companies which has a problem with previous GNU FDL licensing and now it is uncertain who owns their things. Since they used section 11 and did some version changing and things, they now have this problem. Last I saw one had to give over some billion worth in rights to the other or something along those lines. <br />
:::It just doesn't matter how people use the GNU FDL v1.2. Who cares? We go by the license and law, and that is the discussion (mostly). What the GNU FDL has been used for is not.<br />
:::I have said repeatedly that like Wikipedia's terms of use, law is. Of course things like licenses are interchangeable. What's not to read? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 14:28, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::"There is a conglomerate of companies..."<br />
::::How does this point have anything to do with your website? Your website is not a company and you and it have no ownership over the material others put on it. You have ownership of the database and the webserver (or at least the rental agreement if you rent).<br />
::::"We go by the license and law, and that is the discussion (mostly)"<br />
::::What law? The one I showed was clearly false? Again, I ask very simply: explain how you actually think authorship and licensing works (with regard to this wiki). It seems you are either unwilling or unable to back up your claims, which isn't surprising considering that they hold no weight whatsoever.<br />
::::"I have said repeatedly that like Wikipedia's terms of use, law is."<br />
::::Since the following sentences probably hinge on that one, I'm just going to have to ask you to rephrase it. From the way I read it: "I have said repeatedly that, similar to Wikipedia's terms of use, law is an entity that exists". Which is true... But it doesn't really say anything worthwhile. I could say something similar and it would have just as much meaning to me: I have said repeatedly that like Wikipedia's terms of use, bacon is. --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 14:57, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
::::PS. If you really do follow wikipedia's rules, then you broke them by reverting my edit. See [[w:Wikipedia:TPO]].<br />
<br />
:::::I know. It's just an interesting story. That, though, is the only way whatever you are talking about is possible. D&D Wiki licenses content, like Wikipedia (see their Terms of Use). What's not to understand? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 15:04, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::"D&D Wiki licenses content"<br />
::::::From whom? Licenses need to be granted by some entity by definition... Yes. You just argued my point for me. You still haven't explained how you think it actually works though (yes, this is my third time asking on this page alone). --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 15:12, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::No, your not thinking about this. How does Wikipedia do it? They are only reserved. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 15:14, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::I will entertain your questions even though you won't answer mine. I'm not sure which terms of use you want to to explain (the old one that uses GNU FDL 1.2 or the new one that uses GNU FDL 1.3. I'll explain the one that matters<br />
<br />
::::::::'''GNU FDL 1.2 (last revision found at [[w:Wikipedia:Terms_of_use&oldid=30325726]]):'''<br />
::::::::After all the boring text telling us that every page is protected under US copyright laws, you are bound to the terms even if you don't read them, that pages are licensed under GNU FDL 1.2, and that page histories meet the terms of the GNU FDL, there is a wonderful gem of bolded text (which I'm going to bold the important part in my quote below).<br />
::::::::"you are hereby being given notice under Title 17 USC that it is your responsibility to comply with the copyright laws in regards to this archival material and your copying it may be considered infringement ('''specifically if any of the materials being stored in those prior versions are copyrighted materials that were submitted to Wikipedia without the author/authors or copyright holder's/holders' permission(s)''')."<br />
::::::::Huh? The author has to give permission to have it put on Wikipedia? It's almost as if the author has rights to their own work! You know, like the right to license their work as they see fit. Note also that the terms of use do not have any such mention of forgoing the author's right to relicense their own work. It just talks about the fact that you can't take materials that have a copyright and add the GNU FDL license without having the author's consent.<br />
<br />
::::::::Now for the GNU FDL 1.3, there is little point in explaining because we have already determined that this wiki does not use that license anyways, but if it did, a CC-by-SA license can be added to ''other author's'' work. Yeah, if this site was GNU FDL 1.3 that would just mean that moving content and relicensing would not require the author's consent.<br />
<br />
::::::::Attempt #4: Care to explain how you think it works (and maybe throw in some specific quotes to support your argument this time)? --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 15:37, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::'''Do not submit copyrighted work without permission!''' &mdash; what's not to understand? The adherence to the license? "you are bound to the terms even if you don't read them, that pages are licensed under GNU FDL 1.2" --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 15:41, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::You aren't getting it. Whose permission is required for copyrighted work? All you are pointing out is exactly what I just said: you can't submit the copyrighted work of others'. You can totally submit your own copyrighted work because you obviously have your own permission. --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 15:47, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::Your not getting it. "you are bound to the terms even if you don't read them", meaning that you are bound to the terms. With regard to copyrighting through the USA Copyright Office, a different scenario, was it done? And I think Wikipedia's Terms of Use cover that to some extend now. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 16:19, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::::Can I link to an external site (the US Copyright Office site)? On their FAQ, you will clearly see the following text:<br />
::::::::::::"Do I have to register with your office to be protected? No. In general, registration is voluntary. Copyright exists from the moment the work is created. You will have to register, however, if you wish to bring a lawsuit for infringement of a U.S. work."<br />
::::::::::::So, I don't see what the copyright office has to do with anything.<br />
::::::::::::I totally agree that Terms of Use function in a way that makes them binding even if they are not read. But the fact of the matter is, anything I write is copyrighted (by me), and I can license that work as I see fit. You agree that the GNU FDL is a license, not a contract, right (this is a VERY important distinction)? --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 16:46, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::::I mean previously copyrighted work. And, no, submitting it here licenses it. For example: "Therefore, for any text you hold the copyright to, by submitting it, you agree to license it under the". --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 16:50, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
{{Discussion Indentation Revert}}<br />

::I think the problem is GD thinks licensing content here grants DandWiki ''exclusive'' license to the content. It doesn't. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 17:06, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />

:::Indeed. Exclusive licenses require a contract, which this website does not have. That's what I was getting to ''';)'''. --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 17:12, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::It doesn't. See also the [[Coin Golem (3.5e Creature)]]. All I am saying is there is a licensing problem (as it ''is'' the GNU FDL v1.2) which undermines D&D Wiki in various ways if it is not that license. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:45, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::Right. But the point of the GNU FDL is not for authors, it is for collaborators. The author is licensing a ''copy'' of their work (whatever it may be) under the GNU FDL. It is not an exclusive license. That ''copy'' must follow all the rules and regulations of the GNU FDL. If the same user decides they want to license their work under a different license, they don't have to pay any attention to the GNU FDL because they are licensing a completely separate ''copy'' -- even if the content is exactly the same. --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 17:56, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::No. For example "Therefore, for any text you hold the copyright to, by submitting it, you agree to license it under the" --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 19:42, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::You are correct. When you submit content you are agreeing to license it under the GNU FDL v1.2. However, you are ''not'' agreeing to ''exclusively'' license it under the GNU FDL v1.2, ''nor are you giving up your copyright''. You are free to release it under other licenses (which may have other conditions), to other people, whenever you want. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 12:56, 31 May 2011 (MDT)<br />

== Keran (3.5e Races) ==<br />
<br />
Why have you recently edited the names of many of my races from "Race Name (Keran Race)" to "Race Name, Keran (3.5e Race)"? In my opinion it was unnecessary and I am confused to why you did it?--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:06, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Races should be labeled as "Race". I added "Keran" to some to distinguish them as part of [[Blades Of Keran (3.5e Campaign Setting)|Blades Of Keran]] where their was already something of the same name. How they used to be named made a problem on the dynamic race pages. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:09, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Didn't notice the problems. And if thats so then why not rename all of them? Also some of what you renamed doesn't have Keran in the title. --[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:18, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::I guess I can. Some don't have "Keran" because I was not certain if you want it there or not. It doesn't need to be (the reason for the some was that it makes sense to not have variant attached to the page), but they all can have "Keran" present. I am uncertain. I'm actually working on the disambiguation page [[Elf]] and didn't do the others as such. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:21, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::So why did they need to say 3.5e? I didn't think they required it to be 3.5e.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:36, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::I put that there because they use 3.5e rules. I think I am confused. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:39, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::You didn't do that for other Disambiguations. For example [[Fighter|Fighter]].--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:43, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::I'm not understanding what your saying. I have not yet saved [[Elf]], if that helps at all. I was actually talking about the Keran races I moved above. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:45, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::I was more asking why do they need to be (3.5e Race) for disambiguation. Also if it is just because of it is 3.5 material then shouldn't Cora races also be changed?.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:55, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::Yes, it is because it is 3.5e material. I am doing it because disambiguation pages require alphabetization and moving them now makes it much smoother. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:57, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::Okay. But how come the elves now don't have Keran as part of the page title? Not that thats a problem just wondering. Because you changed the name for the Lizardfolk as well (I'm guessing for the same reasons as the Elves) but they still have the Keran as part of there title.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 02:13, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::I did that because the lizardfolk had other lizardfolk races with the same name present. I can do that for the elves, which were the only elves with that name, if you want. It's your call. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 18:36, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />

== Prestige Base Classes ==<br />
<br />
In Blades Of Keran I was going to create new prestige classes. The only problem is that I want my prestige classes to like a Base Class with slight requirements. And as I wanted to make them full base classes, I was hoping to give them a full 1-20 level progression without having to use Epic Level Rules. So would they be still classed as Prestige Classes?--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 23:10, 24 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:No. They would not work with [[SRD:Multiclass Characters]]. Making a [[3.5e Rules|rule]] about them and linking them from that page would be appropriate. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:19, 25 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Creating an Infrastructure Category for SRD Pages ==<br />
<br />
I was working on a sortable DPL for 3.5e SRD Creatures (as an example for what we could do for 3e Monsters), and I came across a problem. It seems that we have pages like "Evil Creatures" marked as "Creatures", which naturally creates a problem when making a DPL of all creatures. My solution to this would be one of two options: Remove "Creatures" category from pages like "Evil Creatures", or create a new category like "SRD Infrastructure", which we could add to all pages like "Evil Creatures" that are labeled "Creature" but aren't actually creatures. We already have a category by that name, so we'd need to name it something else, but the idea stands. What are your thoughts? --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 22:51, 26 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Or just remove [[:Category:Creature]] from that page and replace it with [[:Category:Creature List]]? If it's a widespread problem an infrastructure category may make more sense though. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 23:04, 26 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Ehh, I've just figured out a way to do what I wanted to do without having to change anything. I'm not sure if it is a better solution (efficiency-wise), but it's less work in the present, so I like it well enough. Do you know much about DPL tables? I'm trying to figure out how to insert text into a cell that with an empty parameter (similar to how we have NFR or NR for classes that aren't fully rated on the 3.5e Class Homebrew table). Do you know how to do that, or better yet, do you know of a website that would be able to teach me how? --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 23:39, 26 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::I know some about dpl's. An empty parameter? You could just do something like <tt><code><nowiki>|include={<!-template->}:noneparam:<!-include1->, etc</nowiki></code></tt>. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 23:53, 26 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::I don't think that's quite what I'm trying to do. If you check out [[User:Badger/sandbox12|my attempt]], you'll notice that entries like "Air Elemental" have blank spaces in the table. That is because they have multiple copies of the template I am querying on the page, so it won't return anything. My plan was to make it so if the box for "CR" was empty, the table would put in some line of text like "Varies". That way there would be no empty cells in the table. I'm still trying to get the hang of DPLs, so I'm not sure what code does what. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:03, 27 June 2011 (MDT)<br />

== Marroar and his torrent of unbalancing ==<br />
<br />
You'll probably have already noticed and what not, but it's beginning to bug me. I noticed a guy named [[User:Marroar|Marroar]] with edits all over the place, mostly tiny ones, but hundreds of them. It seems like everything he touches becomes unbalanced as anything, particularly with some changes he tried to make to a race of my original creation, and even seen more so at [[Dragon Rider (3.5e Class)|Dragon Rider]], in which the nearly the entire history is tiny, horrible alterations to an already sketchy class, including some that go completely against the fundamental functions of the class page, like giving out ability adjustments just for taking the class. You'll see what I mean, if you look at it. Not sure if he's just a spammer or just really bad at this stuff, or just trying to con his DM or something. It's just bothersome to have some guy scurrying about waving broken-ness all over the place. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 05:07, 10 July 2011 (MDT)<br />

<br />
Greetings, is there a place I can ask questions on here for specific things? As in help on characer creation or ideas for part of a campaign world I am creating? The only place I can think of for stuff like this is the sandbox but.. I highly doubt anyone will actually comment on anything I say or ask. That aside, do you know of any place I can chat with people about these things in real time? I am joining a gestalt campaign here in a few days and have questions regarding item creation, but due to the time between now and actual play, I would like to get feedback instantly versus a few hours to days. Otherwise this wouldnt bother me. Thanks for your time in reading this and even more so if you reply. [[User:Lyrad8791|Lyrad8791]] 23:11, 3 August 2011 (MDT)<br />

== Foreclosing a Class ==<br />
<br />
This spring I created the [[Enlightened Soul]] prestige class for 3.5. I've been meant to finish it up over the summer, but life, and my limited knowledge of wiki magic, continually got in the way, and I'm sad to say I don't see that changing. I do however still like the idea of the class, and would love to see it finished. My request then, is that you, or someone more interested in it, simply apply the finishing touches. I am absolutely available for any questions you may have. Thanks for your time. --[[User:Lefthandroger|Lefthandroger]] 20:38, 21 August 2011 (MDT)<br />

== A question about deletion ==<br />
<br />
So, I was just wondering, what are our policies on deleting "completed" material? Is there a minimum rating a "finished" class must have, or face deletion? If the general consensus on the discussion page is "make it go away", and it's been at least two weeks, can I delete it without hesitation? --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 15:50, 23 August 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Not if there is enough content to be playable. Can one play with a few class features for the starting levels? Probably (and then they could improve the class from that stage).<br />
:Anyone can add {{tl|delete}} so criteria is present for the deletion of that content. If you did delete content which was playable you should go back and restore it. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 19:03, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::I'm just looking at classes, like [[Anti-Christ_(3.5e_Class)|this one]], that have been marked for deletion for months. It is marked as a base class, but should be moved to prestige class if we intend to keep it. Anyway, it has class features all spelled out, but it's a mess of formatting, there is virtually no fluff, and the vast majority of the ratings (at least, the ones I trust) have said horrible things about the class. I see no reason why we should bother to keep this class, especially since it has had no productive edits since 2009. However, if you feel this is the type of content you want to keep around, I can just move it to prestige class and swap out <nowiki> {{delete}} for {{wikify}}</nowiki>. In my opinion we should have some sort of "this isn't going to get better and it is terrible now, we might as well trash it" policy. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 19:41, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Yes, there is enough content there to keep it. Is it correct? No, it needs work. Things should (if you have enough time please help) work more correctly with the [[Meta Pages#Improving, Reviewing, and Removing Articles|improving, reviewing, and removing articles]] templates. This means that those which do not work should be moved to a separate section (like [[DnD Base Classes]]) and those that do are to be more easily accessible. This removes problems such as [[Anti-Christ_(3.5e_Class)|Anti-Christ]] however leaves it enough room for it to be improved upon. If you have deleted others which are playable (I have found a few, however I have not looked well) please restore those pages. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 20:00, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::I think I've been pretty careful about deleting content that wasn't up to snuff. I know we disagree on that Taco article, but that may be because it was an April fool's class, and I figured that no one but the original creator would bother to write more fluff for it (it is my opinion that one joke doesn't make a joke page, and that page had very few). I can't think of any pages that I've deleted that were questionable. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 20:09, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::I may look more, however you could be rather correct. That was one I found, as well as one with a history earlier then the deletion template was added then was removed to make for the delete template. That was probably just a oversight problem on your part though. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 21:34, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />

==Jedi base class, prestige class, d20, consolidation==<br />
I stumbled upon the Jedi class here, and although certain aspects of Star Wars should remain out of D&D, I still think the philosophy and characterization is a good thing for roleplaying in the D&D universe, even if the flashy too powerful lightsaber doesn't belong in the hands of a starting character. <br/>I see this class as a fusion of a Paladin and a Monk and a Psion. I don't normally edit here, but I wanted to get started something that cleared up the problem of a start class Jedi. I think that is very wrong, it should take a longer time than than to get there, but I don't think a Padawan class makes sense either as it requires a Master Jedi. Then again, training characters is common, from level to level and for skills and skill improvement, so a Padawan Class might also work. <br/>I started this and hopefully you know of people who are interested in developing it: '''[[Jedi (3.5e Prestige Class)]]'''<br/><br />
I would like to eventually see these base class Jedi removed in favor of Prestige classes.<br />
<br />

== Omissions ==<br />
<br />
The NoBF is missing the Practiced Spellcaster feat.<br />
This feat (and Practiced Turning, probably others) could benefit from a better description of the limitation (such as saying it is mostly to benefit multiclassed characters).<br />
<br />
Searching for edits to the NoBF was totally screwed. I'm not sure about other things listed here, nothing else showed an option to search for edits (I'm busy with other stuff too, so I gave up quick though).<br />
<br />
Show new changes starting from [Todays's Date]<br />
There was no way to change the start date. I don't know if changing the range to 30 days mattered or not, since it still started with "Today".<br />
I think I can safely assume that no changes have been made in the last 16 hours, so the fact that it didn't list any changes means nothing.<br />
<br />
Keep up the good work. :)<br />

You placed a notice on the [[#enlightened soul (3.5e prestige class)|enlightened soul]] stating that it did not adhere to wiki formatting, as the table does not have BAB and saves listed.

== Can Spammers be a 4e Race? ==<br />

I'm tired of the non-paid advertising put on this site. I was wondering, therefore, if it would be okay if I create a race out of these 'spammers', a.k.a. those whose only purpose on this site is to make it their own free commercial. Or would that be against the warning policy? I wouldn't say or write anything threatening or offensive, although the people sending spam should be criticized for a lack of decency. It's a shame that such a good site is being infiltrated by these advertisements, and it's also a shame to all companies who rightfully ''pay'' to have a product advertised instead of taking advantage of the internet. Anyways, I just wanted to know whether or not I could create a scathing "Spammer (4e Race)" If not, then that's okay. (Also note, I won't be able to be on the site for the next two days, but after that I would have all the time in the world to create the race, if it's acceptable.) --[[User:Obake|Obake]] 20:04, 30 September 2011 (MDT)<br />

Hey Green Dragon. I appreciate the effort on your part on keeping my idea from being deleted over the past couple of years. I've seriously neglected completing it, but to be honest I was in the process of creating powers as I posted the first information on the class over two years ago. I've recently happened upon my old notebooks and have been revising old powers I'd written there (but not posted here) and have reformed my approach to the class. I'm currently in school for Game Art and Design, so this is a wonderful outlet for my Systems Design work. As such, I'll be completing this class over the next few months.<br />

== Sourcebook/Campaign ==<br />
<br />
Hi Green Dragon, I wonder if it is possible to put a Campaign in the sourcebook section. I think this would make reading and understanding the Campaign easier. --[[User:Warkan|Warkan]] 18:03, 28 November 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Of course. It may make sense to link to the campaign as appropriate. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 21:42, 28 November 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
::I don't understand your answer. <br />
::I think this might be because I didn't explain myself enough. I want to contribute an adventure but find that the source book template would make it way simpler to understand. So can I put an adventure in the sourcebook section? --[[User:Warkan|Warkan]] 08:25, 29 November 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::I worded it to be vague ''';)'''. I did this because you should link to it or transclude it. If your wiki syntax has not reached this level of understanding I intended my answer to imply that you could supply a link (and I would fix it). Of course neither must be the case as eventually it would be corrected one way or the other&ndash; no matter how you went about it. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:36, 29 November 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
Thanks for clarifying. I have not actually put the campaign up yet, but when I do, I will link it here. --[[User:Warkan|Warkan]] 19:53, 30 November 2011 (MST)<br />

== Formatting and licensing for transcriptions ==<br />
<br />
Greetings-<br />
I've been working on and off on transcribing one of Mongoose Publishing's books in the Quintessential series ([[The Quintessential Monk]]). I'm pretty sure I've been getting the formatting in acceptable shape, but would love someone with an experienced eye to take a look. However, the main question I have is about the OGL. I've been taking the "please help transcribe" tags on [[3.5e_Open_Game_Content|this]] page at face value, and have basically been doing just that: a word-for-word transcription. Are there exceptions or limitations to what can and can't be legally duplicated on the internet? I'm not very clear on how the OGL works. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. --[[User:Klichka|Klichka]] 17:21, 6 December 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:The formatting works. The ideal is like [[Crime and Punishment - The Players Sourcebook of the Law]] with the links but if you don't do it like that someone will come along eventually and format it like that.<br />
:You can post every word. The exceptions are Product Identity which basically can only be used by Wizards anyway. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:58, 10 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== Looking for advice... and help. ==<br />
<br />
I have built a few things here on the D&DWiki page, all under the 3.5 sections; (Jachyrines, Matter Shifter, Velloreans, SoulChain Warrior, Slithzirkhai and a few others).<br />
<br />
I am trying to find someone who can look these over and tell me if I have over-powered them or made the Level Adjustment on the races right.<br />
<br />
Also, I am looking at building two "mirror" 3.5 classes, the Lunarian and Solarian... Basically mages that draw their power from the Moon and Sun, respectively. I am wanting to do it up like the psion with "Spell Points" vs a set number of spells per day, so they have like a set amoung of "Lunar Power" or "Solar Power" to cast spells with. Its just I want to make sure I go about it right, so if you know of anyone who can give me advice on how to go about this without overpowering it, but not making it completely weak and useless, that'd be great. And yes, they'd each have powers they gain on certain levels related to their source of power.<br />
<br />
Also, is there any word on getting the small book "Secret College of Necromancy" transcribed into the site? I used to own it, my ex lost it, and now I can't find a new one. Just curious.<br />
<br />
Many Thanks for any help;<br />
Tom.<br />

== Redirect ==<br />
<br />
Um, the redirect isn't working properly. I want to move my <s>User: Axl/My Sandbox/4e Future Power</s> to [[User: Axl/My Sandbox/4e Future Power Preload]], but it already has that name as a redirect. While I was trying to move it, I clicked the cancel button on my browser so that I could change it to the latter link, but it instead goes to the former when I click on the link. Can this be fixed, and when is the 4e Power creator going to be fixed? The reason why I created the 4e Future Power Preload was so that I would not have to type out the links that say <!-[[Main Page]] &rarr; [[4e Homebrew|Homebrew]] &rarr;-> etc. What I'll do is I'll create a breadcrumb that I'll just type into the power while I'm creating it, but could you fix the redirect? Thanks. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 17:30, 24 December 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Are those pages now how you wanted them to be?<br />
:Also, [[Add New 4e Power]] is working&ndash; or what do you mean is not? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 12:46, 27 December 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
::When I tried it in my D&D 4.0 Future sourcebook, it didn't work. I thought that the add power in my sourcebook and the homebrew was the same. I have since changed it. I'll try it again, this time in the homebrew. Thanks. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 22:30, 30 December 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
::Oh, did you fix the redirector? I said it wrong. I said "could you fix the redirect?" when I should have said "could you fix the redirector?". Sorry about that. I'm deleting the 4e Future Power Preload. Sorry for the hassle. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 22:31, 30 December 2011 (MST)<br />

== 4e race design guideline ==<br />
<br />
Hi Green Dragon, just a quick question about my article [[4e Race Design (DnD Guideline)]]. I see it's been copied to [[4e Race Add Instructions]] - If make further updates (and I do have some planned), will this need to be copied over manually? I was also hoping someone else familiar with 4e mechanics could check through this before it's used "officially", what do you think? ''':)''' [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 07:20, 4 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:I read through it and it seemed to cover the design bases well. And no, when you change it will automatically change (it is transcluded). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 14:25, 4 January 2012 (MST)<br />
::Great, thanks. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 15:50, 4 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== Stub tag removal ==<br />
<br />
I recently created a new prestige class, [[Badass (3.5e Prestige Class)]]. It isn't rated yet or anything, but for the most part it is complete. How do I go about getting the stub tag removed? -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 15:01, 4 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Does the wording on [[Template:Stub]] make more sense now? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 15:45, 4 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Fixing double redirects ==<br />
<br />
There are quite a few double redirects to be cleaned up manually, and they have been accumulating far faster than they have been fixed manually. Due to this, I was wondering if it would be worth it to have a programming adept wiki user, or hire somebody in your area to design a program to automatically fix the problem by cleaning up double redirects. I'm fairly certain Wikipedia has a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Computer_help_desk/double_redirect_study form of this]. Would it be possible to base the program off a similar idea? With the number of double redirects growing it may be worth investing the time. On a similar note, if a program like this is made, would it be possible to alter it slightly to perform other menial tasks around the wiki such as moving (DnD) pages to their respective edition? I realize many of them have already been moved, however some are still in the wrong places. --[[Special:Contributions/173.245.55.116|173.245.55.116]] 22:05, 8 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== Flaw submission problem ==<br />
<br />
Hi Green Dragon,<br />
Just signed up for D&D Wiki, though I've been here before.<br />
I'm trying to submit a character flaw, and the only thing that shows up on the character flaws page is the title, but none of the description and whatnot. Am I doing something wrong, or do the submissions have to be reviewed first? I'll paste the flaw here so maybe you can tell me if the coding is wrong or something... Thanks! =edit= Pasted it in and only that one line shows up.. Argh..<br />
<br />
{{3.5e Flaw <br />
|name= Large Breasts <br />
|types= General <br />
|summary= Generally, your large breasts tend to get in the way. <br />
|drawback= For whatever reason, your character has been quite well -ahem- endowed. As a result, ever since coming of age your character has noticed a few drawbacks. For one, any Acrobatic checks the character makes take a -5 penalty. The penalty is increased by 1 for each cup size the female has above D.<br />
Additionally, any time the character needs to squeeze through a tight spot, her breasts will get in the way again. Any time she has to squeeze through a small tunnel, doorway, escape through a small window, or even push her way through a group of people, she must make an Escape artist check equal to 10 + 1/2 her character level rounded down. The same rule of 1 added to the DC for each size larger than D cup size applies here as well. <br />
|roleplay= Generally this can be used for humor's sake, or for misfortune's sake that is up to your DM and how good of a sense of humor he has. I was a very humorous DM with a gentleman who had a curvy female Ninja, and invariably he would mess up the acrobatics roll, so we started joking about her breasts getting in the way, hence this flaw's creation; "Well Dustin, because you chose to build such a well rounded character... Would you care to roll your acrobatics check to jump from that rooftop to the next? A 19. Well normally that jump's DC would be 15. However, since you built such a 'well rounded' character, your DC was 21 because of her DD size chest you keep bragging about. Well luckily you did make the jump, but because of the unequal weight distribution, your character takes a bit of a tumble upon landing, and doesn't land on her feet but rather her stomach and face. She isn't hurt, well, maybe her pride is". <br />
<!-- Delete any of the following if they are not used --><br />
|prereqs= Must be FEMALE, Must have breasts of D size or greater <br />
|benefit= This flaw gives two benefits: 1 extra feat, and a +2 on Diplomacy checks with any male or female who is attracted to your character<br />
|normal=<br />
|special= The +2 to Diplomacy only works if your character has 16 Charisma or higher!<br />
}}<br />

::::::I could understand if the feat was blatantly offensive to a reasonable person(happens to be the definition of pornography in the US, as far as the law is concerned), but if a feat is of an adult theme, and well written, I see no way that removing it would improve the wiki. In the above mentioned feat, I feel it is poorly written, but maintains good taste, if a little tongue in cheek. Also, if someone were to desire to make an anime themed character, such traits would really help flesh it out(pun intended). --[[User:Ganre|Ganre]] 15:06, 29 March 2012 (MDT)<br />

<br />
::::::::It is my understanding that we do not yield to moral, ethical, or social quandaries of any single user, with the content on this site, in regards to the subject matter of the content. Slap an adult disclaimer on the page to fulfill our obligations towards younger or inappropriate audiences, and if Axl wants to propose deletion, let him be met by the community.

==Review Request System==<br />
<br />
I've noticed that it can be somewhat difficult to get reviews on user content, usually requiring contacting individual reviewers to ask for a review. Now, this system does work, but it is far from optimal, especially for newer users on the wiki. What I propose is a new template, say, <nowiki>{{requestreview}}</nowiki>, that would effectively generate a list of completed pages that the author would like feedback on. I don't know a lot about templates, but I don't think it should be especially difficult to start this up. It is my opinion that we'll end up with higher-quality pages overall if we do this. What do you think? -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 13:20, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:That's not a bad idea (and it'd be really easy to implement -- just have the template add pages to [[:Category:NeedsReview]] or whatever). I see two flaws with it though. 1) a lot of people who post content... don't exactly stick around. We'd need some sort of criteria for removing pages from the category. This shouldn't be a big issue, really. 2) as I've argued [[Discussion:I think it's time to change the rating system|here]], the rating system is very much messed up and in need of a fix. We really should fix that before we ask people to use it. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 14:00, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::The first issue could be fixed fairly easily, with a bot that removes the template if it was added over two weeks ago, although I don't know it that is feasible. Thus abandoned pages, or pages that have been rated, would drop off the list in two weeks.<br />
<br />
::I agree with you about the rating system being messed up, but it does provide a way to get feedback on pages. That is to say, it may not work well, but it's better than nothing. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 14:43, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />

::::Okay, I think I did it right, but I'm not sure. I used the others as a guide for formatting, so it should work okay, but I'm notoriously bad at coding. My apologies if I broke the page. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 16:21, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::I locked [[Template:Reviewing Template]] back up. It looks good, and I think that after someone reviews the page the template can get removed. I don't think that we need a time frame. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:13, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::::I'm not sure you understood the meaning behind the template. The idea was to provide a way for users to request feedback on a page through the rating system. I should have been more clear about that; looking back, I realize now that I wasn't at all clear about what I meant. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 08:40, 25 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::::Well the rating system is not wiki-wide (since [[Meta Pages#Improving, Reviewing, and Removing Articles]] is a much better option). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 09:54, 25 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== Trying to do this right. ==<br />
<br />
So I recently created an optimized character build, a melee oriented Dread Necromancer, and I was wondering if you could help me clean it up a bit (with formatting and such). I would like it too look professional, and I simply lack the wiki know how to do so.<br />

== Adding an SRD Class ==<br />

<br />

:::Right. That is the closest we can get to letting people know about classes such as the Favored Soul. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 10:39, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />

:::: Got it. I will start on that one. Thanks! --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 10:40, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />

== Changing the Feat Section ==<br />
<br />
I have a suggestion GD. I noticed while adding 3.5e feats they don't instantly add to the tables, I checked the code and noticed that each feat has to placed into the table. Wouldn't it be faster and more efficent for adding new feats if it worked like the Spell List section?--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 07:01, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Yes. Some of those pages are very old and are not dynamic. Others, however, are. For example [[DnD Heritage Feats]] is the most useful version, but problems still exist (why are there those "&mdash;"'s at the end). Yes, they should all be updated to the DnD Heritage Feats. Also [[Template:3e Feat Table Row Test L2]] needs to be corrected (that is where the problem is coming from). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 10:54, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::GD, while we are on the subject of feats, is there a way we can add feats from the other published items, i.e. [[Complete Divine]] to the Feat tables, or are we going to keep those seperate? --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 11:07, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::Since they cannot be used in a game (the mechanics are not present) we will not. Feats from [[3.5e Open Game Content]] are supposed to be added, though. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:40, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::What if we added the mechanics? Or can we? Maybe I am just confused. --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 11:47, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::We cannot add the mechanics. They are not licensed under an appropriate license, notably the [[Open Game License v1.0a|OGL]]. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:50, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::::OK, I will stick with the brief summaries. --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 11:52, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />

== Race creation ==<br />
<br />
Hey, I'm sorry for writing on your little guied line page. I'm a bit confused on where I'm soupose to start the creation. You see, the setting isint the same as I last visited. Whenever I type in a name for my race I'm sent to the guide line page. I'm not sure where to start my race page. After being sent to guide lines page where do I go?<br />
<br />
:After using the inputbox on [[4e Races]] can you scroll to the bottom of that page and is there then an edit box? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:53, 12 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Campaign dieties ==<br />
<br />
GD, I know yo have been adding dieties, but I was wondering if there is a particular place where dieties such as Reorx from Dragonlance, Dol Darn from Eberron, or even Lolth from the Realms be listed? Would I create a "pantheon" on your handy-dandy dieties page and specify "Dragonlance Dieties" and list them or do yo have a better suggestion? --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 10:09, 22 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:You can make a pantheon for them. Please, however, do not add the deities since they are not OGC. Take a look at [[Outer Planes (3.5e Environment)]] for inspiration on completing such a task while keeping it within the licensing situation. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 10:16, 22 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::I am sorry, but I am going to need some clarification. I can make the pantheon and list their names and a brief summary, or don't even mention their names? If I can submit the pantheon, would it look a bit like what Wikipedia has if you typed in "Dragonlance Dieties?" --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 10:49, 22 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::You can mention their names. Yes, "Dragonlance Deities" is great information, but I don't think that is a pantheon. Start with a pantheon and then we can talk about the individual deities.<br />
:::The wording does not need to be just a "brief summary". As long as you wrote it (or it is licensed appropriately) you can write it, like [[Outer Planes (3.5e Environment)]], explaining the situation to the unknowing reader. Using this wording you will be able to cover the topic well enough, I think. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:01, 22 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::Well, for Dragonlance there are twenty-five dieties for most ages, and that number drops by one during the Age of Mortals. Dwarves don't believe in one set, elves another etc. It really is one pantheon. I will create a page as an example, and if it doesn't work, we can delete it, and my feelings won't be hurt. That work for you? --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 11:17, 22 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::That's fine, and if it is a pantheon then I am wrong&ndash; but that does not mean your page will be wrong. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:19, 22 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Deletions ==<br />
<br />
Hi Green Dragon, if I can just get a clarification on what I've been calling "only author requests deletion" (which has mostly been cases where a contributor realizes they've made some fundamental mistake, and no other contributors have been involved). If I understand correctly 1) This is okay as long as it's gone through the normal minimum 2 weeks of being tagged for deletion without being contested, and 2) "only contributor requests deletion" ''itself'' isn't a deletion rationale - the article must be considered on its own merits. Correct?<br />
<br />
Thanks again for your support and advice. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 13:41, 29 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
Also... ''so much spam removed!'' I feel like I'm doing spring cleaning. Still a lot to do though. If you get chance, I advise looking into an alternative to reCaptcha, as apparently the spambot writers have found an exploit in it. This is why so many forums and wikis that use reCaptcha have been hit hard by spam from January onwards. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 13:46, 29 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:I already mentioned this on Marasmusine's [[User_Talk:Marasmusine|talk]] page, but there's a reCapcha alternative that uses a different system. Perhaps if we used both systems that would help. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 14:24, 29 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::The page must be considered on its own merits. Keep in mind "I want this done", "it should be so", etc are not legitimate reasons. Deletion is about the page&ndash; we don't care what people think (it would make for too many situations where subjectivity rules). For example please see [[Blackstone Knight (3.5e Class)]].<br />
::I'll see what is a good route for this spam problem. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 08:56, 2 March 2012 (MST)<br />
:::Oki doki. I've been at Wikipedia so long that their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion speedy deletion] process is ingrained in me (in this case, their criteria G7). Clearly some of these criteria we do have (G11 for spam, and I would hope G10 and G12. Also G9 would effectively be your right as site owner) but I will otherwise adjust my thinking :)<br />
:::On a related note, at Wikipedia an admin wouldn't delete an article that they themselves proposed for deletion. That way at least two users have reviewed an article before it's removed. Similarly, I don't intend to delete anything at [[:Category:Candidates for Deletion]] that I've personally tagged (unless you think that's OK). [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 01:53, 3 March 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::Ya, all those speedy deletion reasons seem pretty good.<br />
::::I would wait and see what happens to the pages you make candidates. If their reason is a speedy deletion reason then I would encourage the opposite behavior of waiting, but in other instances it makes sense. Use precedents when possible and if there are no precedents then use your judgement I guess. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 05:27, 3 March 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::Honestly, if we kept by a policy that you can't delete anything that you've tagged, the category would never get cleaned up. For instance, a while back I went through a bunch of the d20 Modern stuff to add deletion tags; there's not really anyone else on the wiki who's into d20 Modern, so nobody commented on the deletion tags. I just waited significantly longer than the traditional 2 weeks before deleting anything. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 08:02, 10 March 2012 (MST)<br />

Hi GD, [[User:Geomax]] contacted me saying his IP is blocked. His actual account isn't blocked but I don't think I have the permissions to check is IP. Can you look into this? Thanks. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 00:49, 7 March 2012 (MST)<br />

== Tirr Campaign ==<br />
<br />
The Tirr Campaign is a work in progress. Please stop vandalizing and removing its campaign specific pages. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 17:33, 21 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:No pages have removed. They have been moved. I should have dealt with the links. See also [[3.5e Environments]]. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:08, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Those are campaign specific pages, and you're moving them to generic environment and deity categories, as well as changing names of pages to names that are incorrect and do not reflect the nature of the pages (Such as the Pantheon of Tirr), and you have not followed through on every conversion, as some links remain unchanged, even if you seemed to have reason for what you're doing. As I've seen, there have been no rules or guideline changes that support your actions, and you've only targeted the Tirr Campaign, and only few categories of pages, so any claim to otherwise is not supported by your actions. As such, your actions should be considered vandalism. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 02:10, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::You are claiming to be the sole author of pages that I have created and maintained in your reasons for deleting and moving them. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 02:14, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::Is that what their history shows? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 02:21, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::Since you have deleted said pages, I cannot see their history; Before the unnecessary moving and deleting, and after it, I was essentially the only contributor with the exception of your supposed corrections. Why are you vandalizing my campaign pages? Again, there's no policy defending your actions, and you've only targeted the Tirr Setting. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 02:26, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::I've taken this discussion primarily to the [[Talk:Main Page|Main Page]] to gain perspective and forum, as well as to make suggestion in order to achieve clarification regarding this matter. I reserve further discussion for that. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 07:27, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::1) check the history before stating such things. 2) Do not bring discussions to the main page about a certain campaign setting (how do those relate?). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 13:24, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::Your edits on the recent changes page, regarding the deleted pages, are a part of the history, I assume. I cannot check the articles history when it has been deleted, but your statement as reason for a deletion is what I was referring to. Secondly, the discussion on the main pages is regarding the policies of campaign settings in general, though you know that, now. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 14:56, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::What deleted article's history do you need checked? I can look at them if you give me a link to the original title. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 14:57, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::It is largely irrelevant, now, though I appreciate the offer. When this was still an issue and the actions were still questionable, it appeared that he was moving my articles and deleting the old ones, saying he was the sole author in his editing reasons, which show up on the recent changes page. Now that I understand his actions, it is unnecessary. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 15:04, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::Ok. The only thing I could find that he deleted were the redirect pages that were created when he moved pages. In this case the "and the only contributor was Green Dragon" text that comes up is automatic from the system, not something GD would have added himself. Moving and removing pages can get a little weird sometimes. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 15:12, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::::Thank you. I will keep that in mind, in the future. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 15:21, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::::Histories are moved with the pages. Try it sometime. Look at a page's history, move it, and see what happens to the history. It will all go to the new location, the moving history will be added, and the old page will get a new history (the moved history). So removing one's edits are done in an entirely different manner. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 16:44, 26 March 2012 (MDT)<br />

:This happens periodically and it's always the same: by posting to this website you are giving up full control of your work. It is not a depository of copyrighted information, it is a collaborative work environment. Every time you edit you agree to the disclaimer "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." There's been legal arguments back and forth, but short of a real copyright lawyer sending cease and desist letters the outcome will be the same as it always has been: "not wanting something" is not a good enough reason to delete any page on the wiki. If it can be deleted for any reason listed in our deletion policy, then and only then can it be a candidate for deletion. (Note that even when you delete something it is still accessible. Admins can read every edit of every deleted page ever put on the wiki. Even if you ''did'' have copyright over the things you submit the software won't allow us to permanently delete something so we still are in violation of copyright.) Note that IANAL, but the policy's been this way from the get-go, and I really don't anticipate Green Dragon changing it any time soon.

::I believe there was a clause in the v1.2 legislation that stated this only applied when "not the sole contributor of" the content; basically meaning that if you were the only editor of that specific page, it belonged to you. That said, I am not sure if that remains or of the status of the pages mentioned. Either way, given the unique nature of wiki machinations, copyright in regards to unpublished DnD content has an incredibly bleak level of enforceability, if there is such a word, and as above, nothing short of a legally binding cease and desist order will be effective if the administrator is in opposition to the removal. Whether we believe your content should be removed or not is irrelevant, in this case, I'm afraid, so I cannot offer help. It's either Green Dragon's Consent or getting a legal document to enforce the claim. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 00:05, 23 March 2012 (MDT)<br />

== Anti-Christ ==<br />
<br />
Hi GD, just want to confer with you on this one. I see [[Anti-Christ (3.5e Class)]] was briefly discussed above as an example of an article that is "complete" but universally derided. As it has now been tagged for deletion for over a year now without improvement, and no-one has contested the deletion proposal, I've gone ahead and removed it (and good riddance in my opinion). <br />
<br />
I'd like your opinion on that - I'll restore it if you think it needs to remain. Thanks, [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 03:05, 3 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Ya. If that page had been improved I may say don't, but it looks to me like someone just made it to but a lot of overpowered "dark" class features together to become a "critique on religion". Not only did it seem ineffective, it did not make use of D&D well and deletion seems warranted to me. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 08:15, 3 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Hah, yes, I've ''have'' been checking "what links here" but sometimes when there's a complete clusterflap of redirects I end up missing some. For example, <s>Talk:Trolls, LotR (DnD Race)</s> was listed for deletion and that led me on a merry chase to get <s>Talk:Trolls â€â€LotR (DnD Race)</s>, <s>Trolls, LotR (DnD Race)</s>, <s>Trolls (LotR Race)</s>, <s>Talk:Trolls (LotR Race)</s>, <s>Talk:Trolls (DnD Race)</s>, <s>Trolls (DnD Race)</s> and <s>Trolls â€â€LotR (DnD Race)</s>!

:::I should have looked closer as many of the deleted pages related to the same page (I now see that). When that happens I make mistakes sometimes too, since keeping track of the tabs can be lost in the process. I understand where you are coming from.<br />

== Wrongfully IP Blocked ==<br />
<br />
Hello friend, I attempted to make an account several days ago and was unable to until 4/5/2012, as apparently my IP specifically was blocked for 'spamming links' to outside sites. Unfortunately, I had no account to begin with until this moment here. So i'm unsure if someone was just using my IP to spam the D&D Wiki itself given I had no account at the time.<br />
<br />
As such, I was unable to communicate with any of the personnel (admins) until 4/5/2012+, I think it might be in the best interest to provide emails on the admin user pages that do not require me to go to user only pages should this arise for other individuals, when one doesn't have an account in the first place. I've been fairly patient and merely want to let you know about this. <br />
<br />
Thanks, Lord Valarath Ti'nirion<br />
<br />
You may reach me at valarath@hotmail.com, or my talk page here [[LValarath]] Thanks again for your time.<br />
<br />

== Ursanare vital stats ==<br />
<br />
I found the Ursanare page and have decided to create a campaign that involves them. My problem for this is that the page dosen't include the ageing effects and random age/weight/height systems. I like to develop my NPCs based on these stats. If you could add that(or if you could let me do it), I would be grateful.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your time,<br />

== IP continues to randomly boost articles ==<br />
<br />
As the title states, we've been having a number of anonymous edits lately, boosting attributes of various races, classes, and even some flaws and feats. They're also removing templates from articles, such as balance concerns and April Fools' Disclaimers. The IP in question is 71.217.38.58. I know you've banned similar IPs, possibly the same person refreshing his addresses or something, but is there a way to take care of him, and if so, please do, if you've no qualms with doing so.

== Homebrew Disclaimer ==<br />
<br />
On a forum I frequent, there was a common complaint about this site, this complaint being that most new players get confused thinking that the homebrew material is WotC material. Would there be a way to place a disclaimer or similar on the homebrew pages. If so then I would assist in placing the disclaimer on the pages. <br />
<br />
This would likely increase the credibility of this site. --[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 02:30, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:So, at the moment, we have things the other way round, with the SRD pages having the disclaimer. "Homebrew" is mentioned in the breadcrumb at the bottom of homebrew pages, but do you think it would be better to have some kind of disclaimer at the top? [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 03:28, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::I am aware of the SRD in the Titles, the OGL templates, and the information at the bottom of every page. But it seems that isn't enough for others (not 100% sure why). I think it would be best for a disclaimer to be placed at the top of the homebrew pages.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 03:42, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Homebrew, is part of the name. Part of the category. Part of the very definition of the word, for Pete's sake. 'Homebrew' in and of itself means, 'Not WotC material'. Break it down. Just look at the word. 'Home' and 'Brew'. Combined. Or? "Made at home." Thus, 'Homebrew' ...Now? Your saying you already know this? Good. Thats good. (But!) ...Some people don't. And 'we', the community, need to post a disclaimer to help these stray puppies out. Right? Som because they don't understand the meaning of the word 'Homebrew', which is everywhere! You click on it. ...We need to do more work?! NO WAY. That's nuts! Let em' rot! If you are not educated enough to understand the meaning of the word 'Homebrew', you are not educated enough to be playing this game. Let alone participating in the building and development of this website. This community does not pander to mobs. (All yours GD. Take it away.) --[[User:Jay Freedman|Jay Freedman]] 03:45, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
::::I know where Milo is coming from though. I recently spoke to a player new to the game, interested in using one of our 3.5e classes, and I ''think'' she was under the impression that it was "offical". In this case the class was rather complicated and undefined in areas and she was disappointed when I suggested it would need an experienced player and DM to run. Still, I'm not sure how any amount of disclaimerage would help. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 04:04, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::Jay, while we understand the difference perfectly and see it as clear as day, it seems this is a huge problem in the eyes of the D&D Community. So if you don't want to help make this wiki a better site you shouldn't be the type of person allowed to participating in the building and development of this website.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 04:10, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::Milo. Your words wound me, my friend. Lets stay objective here. Your 'Forum Community' has a problem with this site. Not the D&D Community as a whole. Naughty naughty. Thus, you requested a massive change in size and scope. Come on. Let's be real here. If your 'Forum Community' can't understand the meaning of the word 'Homebrew'. Then no 'Disclaimer' this-side-of-Kansas is going to help them. I'm not insulting your friends. Just trying to avoid pasteing the words ''(Homebrew: Not WotC: Not SRD: 3.5e: Which is not 4e: Or 5e either:)'' ...above every article on the site. I have standards for intelligence. And my standard score for this website is +0 for rolled stats. Anything lower? And we shouldn't be pandering. --[[User:Jay Freedman|Jay Freedman]] 04:33, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::Jay, you don't seem to actually grasp the reason behind my suggestion. As it isn't intelligence that is the problem with the individuals. It is actually ignorance. People who have only recently started to play likely wouldn't notice the fact that the page doesn't have SRD in the title and might not have even heard of SRD, also they likely wouldn't read the footer of the page. <br />
<br />
:::::::As for this sites reputation, it is commonly known in the D&D community as being horrible. The reason I mention the forum I frequent is because it was a Thread on that forum that raised this suggestion. My forum community does understand the word Homebrew (which is evident as it has a Homebrew section), but the problem lies in the friends of them who are new to play the game and end up asking to use the homebrew material. --[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 04:46, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::Alright man. I can't convince you. I get it. But is it really our communities job as a DnD Wiki to educate every single new gamer in the universe? Edit every article again and again until the world 'gets it'. ...I'll let you pick your battles. Go ahead and fight the good fight. But I've been there man. ...And your walking a long and lonely road. No good dead goes unpunished eh? Good luck. --[[User:Jay Freedman|Jay Freedman]] 04:53, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::I agree with Jay on this. This wiki has a very short learning curve. If you come here, and read the help file, you will know these are not "Official". I don't think having a template, or even making the whole page bright red will educate them. Also, a template at the top of just about every article would be hideous. --[[User:Ganre|Ganre]] 07:01, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::Strangely I have been on this site for 4 years and has never been on any of the help pages. And this wiki's learning curve is rather flat, it expects everyone to already understand what SRD and Homebrew. While that is generally fine, most people outside of this site see this as a serious problem. As for the look, it wouldn't be like a Deletion Template, I was thinking more the OGL Top template. I suggest it says something such as ''The following content is unofficial content and is not endorsed by Wizards of the Coast.'' that at the top of the page would likely suffice.<br />
<br />
:::::::::This whole problem comes from new players who come to this site, they don't seem to come from the main page, instead coming from an article. This means they likely will not notice the page is part of the homebrew section. If one of the first things they notice is this disclaimer I believe it will help stop misunderstandings. I aim for this suggestion to help the reputation of this site.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 07:27, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::I think that it is unimportant whether any of us believe we should, or should not, teach people things we believe they should already know. We, as editors, and possibly the core of the community as it stands, only have one duty: To maintain this site, a '''wiki''', in a way that leads to the greatest possible level of accessibility and communicates the greatest possible level of understanding of its content. If this change, a top-level policy change, can be considered ultimately beneficial with little to no change in the function of our little encyclopedia, then we should do it.<br />
<br />
::::::::::Simply put, its not a whole lot of work to just stick a new template into any page we see lacking it, and we are better for it. Whether we should have to, or not, is largely irrelevant to our duty as editors. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 08:27, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::I am definately in agreement with JW. People just need to pay attention to all details they read and apply some common sense rules. To me "Homebrew" means created by other players. Also, on the [[3.5e Open Game Content]] page, it lists what SRD is. There shouldn't be any confusion. Isn't to me, and I know I am not the brightest bulb in the fixture.--[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 09:23, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::::Can you change the background by namespace? Then we could just watermark such a message on the SRD namespace and a different one in the Main namespace (for example). Templateing all the pages with such a template is pointless. Working within the namespaces is the only real option. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 09:47, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />

== Images for OGC pages ==<br />
<br />
I have talked to a lot of fellow D&D players located here in Saskatchewan, Canada and they seem to all have a similar request. They would love to see the Open Game Content pages to contain picture of the weapons/armor/items/creatures since most do not have descriptions. I know it is a big request with the massive amount of pages, but most of them feel that if the Homebrew pages are required to have pictures, so should the OGC pages.<br />
<br />
I am a big fan of this site and use it all the time. I just wanted to say thank you for all the work you do here.<br />

== Redirect deleting and Captcha ==<br />
<br />
Hi GD, two quickies:<br />
#Is it necessary for deletion proposals for "unneeded redirects" and "double redirects" to go through the two-week incubation period for deletions, or can I treat them as "speedy deletions"? I'm weary about having to add a delete template to every page in [[Special:DoubleRedirects]] rather than dealing with them straight away.<br />
#Regarding an alternative to Captcha, [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Anti-spam_features#CAPTCHAs MediaWiki] suggests " Asirra CAPTCHA" as an alternative (which asks users to distinguish between cats and dogs), might be worth looking into.

Hi GD, there are a large number of [http://media.dandwiki.com/wiki/Category:Deletion_candidate deletion candidates] at our media wiki. Some are copyright infringements, some are unused images (I assume that D&D Wiki is the only site that uses D&D Wiki Media). I don't have admin privileges over there so I don't know if you want to handle it or can allow me to go through them. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 03:02, 26 April 2012 (MDT)<br />

== Page of traits and flaws malfunctioning ==<br />
<br />
Hi Peter. So the page of traits and flaws has some problem. It has something with the database. Could you, or send some one, to see what's he problem?<br />
I would, but I'm new with the wiki technology.<br />
Thx for the atention.<br />
<br />
== Formatting Issues affecting a large portion of the site have appeared recently; Needs attention ==<br />
<br />
So, here's hoping this isn't just my browser, but for some reason, I'm seeing a lot of strange formatting issues on most pages: Balance Templates are aligned left, and Category boxes are now vertical. I looked through recent changes, but couldn't find anything that would have been relevant. Anyone see the same things, and if so, got any ideas on how to rectify it? [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] ([[User talk:Jwguy|talk]]) 08:28, 9 May 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Its the upgrade. I think the alignment is a problem with [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] (the part about alignment options) and the categories we are still unsure about. Not positive how to fix the first problem though. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] ([[User talk:Green Dragon|talk]]) 11:41, 9 May 2012 (MDT)<br />

::The last update, as far as the wiki's history says, was on the seventh of April, though. I don't the problem has been around for a month, at least, not that I've noticed.

== Klas Wullt and his Settings ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Hello. <br />
I wonder if I can talk to someone generally about my setting.<br />
I have been working hard to add some of the features I was suggested to, in order to raise it<br />
to closer to 5/5 setting.<br />
It might seem pretentious.<br />
I have been off line a long time but now I am motivated again.<br />
<br />
In particular I wonder about style advice.<br />
<br />
== Welcome script ==<br />
<br />
I think your script is creating welcome pages for deleted spam accounts(example:[[User talk:Neurigere1983|Neurigere1983]]) --[[User:Ganre|Ganre]] ([[User talk:Ganre|talk]]) 11:34, 21 May 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Actually I don't use a script to welcome new users, so I just go down the new users log and click all the talk pages. It's easier for me to do all of them in case I make mistakes, so I can then see that they are all blue links. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] ([[User talk:Green Dragon|talk]]) 12:49, 21 May 2012 (MDT)<br />

== Permanent Access ==<br />
<br />
Hi GD, for some reason the site it's bloking me still. My PC is clean. So can you give permanent access to the D&D Wiki? Thx<br />

<br />
== Preload typos ==<br />
<br />
There are a few spelling mistakes in the Class/Racial Paragon Class preload ("mulitplying", "Abbrieviated", "innapplicable") and the Prestige Class preload ("persue", "thows", "abreviated"). There's also well over three hundred pages that still have the errors in them, but that's probably not fixable.<br />
<br />
== IP block problems ==<br />
<br />
Hi GD, just want to let you know that [[User_talk:Marasmusine#What_is_this.3F|This problem happened again]]. I've unblocked the source account so hopefully our contributor can edit again, but perhaps you could check the IPs and make sure she's clear.

== problem adding a race ==<br />
<br />
Hello, Just a quick question, I have put together a race to contribute on here and it says "When you're done creating your race's new page, don't forget to put an entry into the proper Level Adjusted Races table" how do you do that? I cant seem to figure it out. the name of the race is "Seafaring" It's a 3.5 LA=1<br />
Thanks,<br />
Steve<br />
:Hi Steve, I've fixed this for you. The "comment" markers in [[Seafaring (3.5e Race)]] needed removing. At the bottom, it now says <nowiki>[[Category:LA1]]</nowiki> which means it's automatically listed at [[LA 1 Races]].

<br />
Hi, i don't know who i can ask this, i'am new on this<br />
community sorry.<br />
I need some help with this build :<br />
<br />

<br />
about the armor class, how can the monk wear a full armor plate and that does not lose the flurry <br />
of blows, because the ability of the Shiba Protector from Faiths of Eberron:<br />
<br />
Holy Armor (Ex): Beginning at 2nd level, you<br />
retain the AC bonus granted by your monk levels<br />
(including Wisdom bonus to AC), even when wearing<br />
armor or carrying a shield or a medium or heavy load.<br />
This doesn’t extend to any other monk class features<br />
lost when wearing armor or carryinga load (such as fast<br />
movement and flurry of blows).<br />
<br />
does not let you wear armor and retain the flurry of blows ability.<br />
<br />

== armored flurry of blows feat, rating ! ==<br />
<br />
hi, i would really appreciate an opinion for this feat, it's my first contribution, i'am new<br />
here so i surely need some experience to become better.<br />
<br />
http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Armored_flurry_of_blows_%283.5e_Feat%29<br />
<br />
and i would like to ask you, where can i find my feat on this site, what category or else ??<br />
<br />
:The Main talk page is really the best place to ask for page evaluations, but here's my advice. You should add some categories: type "<nowiki>[[Category:Flurry of Blows Feat]] [[Category:Martial Style Feat]] [[Category:3.5e]] [[Category:Feat]] [[Category:User]]</nowiki>" at the bottom. You could list it manually at [[3.5e Martial Style Feats]], but really that page needs rewriting so that it automatically lists the appropriate feats. Be aware that there is an almost identical feat, [[Armored Monk (3.5e Feat)]]. Those more familiar with Monks than me should discuss as to which is the more balanced. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 07:47, 1 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
:Also noticed that your feat doesn't use the preload. Try using the form at [[Add New DnD Character Option]]. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 08:02, 1 July 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
<br />
thanks, but where in the main page can i ask for a rating ?<br />
and what is this preload ?<br />
i did the feat with the add new dnd charachter option!<br />
:Hi Dean, you can sign your posts by type four tildes ("<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>"). The main talk page is at [[Talk:Main Page]]. Using the "Create New Feat" button would have "preloaded" a template and some categories into your page. You just need to fill in the template fields and it organizes the formatting for you. Have a look at [http://www.dandwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Armored_Monk_(3.5e_Feat)&action=edit this example] - if you like you can copy it over to your page and alter it as needed.

== Lesser Deity List ==<br />

I submitted a new Deity, "[[Yusograd the Free]]." I specified information about him on the main page, but it didn't show up on the [[3.5e Lesser Deities]] page (except his name). I saw that you were the main editor of that page, so I was wondering if you could explain and possibly fix the issue? I couldn't figure out how to edit the list (breadcrumb?), as it didn't show the actual items when I tried.<br />

<br />
;Welcome!<br />
Hello {{PAGENAME}} and welcome to D&D Wiki. I hope you have been enjoying D&D Wiki and I hope you have been finding the information here useful. Before you start contributing it is recommended you make sure your [[Special:Preferences|user preferences]] match your preferences. I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well). Everything relating to admins can be found [[Meta Pages#Administration|here]].<br />
;Questions:<br />
If you have any questions about a specific page please ask it on that pages talk page. All other questions should be asked to another; user, admin, or me, the owner ([http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Green_Dragon&action=edit&section=new ask me a question]).<br />
;Formatting<br />
Formatting on D&D Wiki (or any wiki for that matter) can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Help:Editing] on Wikipedia (or even their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction Introduction] page). This will explain basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Again, if you have any questions about formatting on D&D Wiki please ask them as, I imagine, anybody will be more than happy to help you get them answered.<br />
;Community<br />
A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. Most discussions take place on content talk pages, however please feel free to ask specific D&D-related questions on [[DnD Discussion]]s. Anyway, possibly since discussions are never deleted, people try to be nice. This means follow Wikipedia's guidelines on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility civility] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etiquette etiquette] when discussing anything. Also, on a pretty different note, to ensure people know who posted what, please sign your name after a post with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) or by clicking on the signature icon ([[Image:Signature_icon.png]]). This will automatically produce your name and the date. Anyway, I hope you come to enjoy D&D Wiki and the community and welcome again, you are now a D&D Wikian. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:08, 30 May 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Few things ==<br />
<br />
First of all, you can sign your posts by hitting the button above the edit window, or else by adding four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).<br />
<br />
Secondly, make sure you are only adding content for which you are comfortable to have other people editing. Every time you edit a page there is a very clear warning that says "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I've noticed on many (all?) of your pages you have placed warnings saying "No one can edit this page", and that's simply not true. ''Anyone'' can edit your page, that's the whole point of a wiki.<br />
<br />
Hope that clears things up, [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 22:08, 2 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Is this a response to my Fell Knight 4e Power Request? Or is this for signiture on my creations?<br />
<br />
:Also, I really don't want anyone editing my stuff, because that's the way I want it to be. If someone says, "Hey, it looks unstable." And points out stuff, ''I'' will change it.<br />
<br />
:Thanks anyway though.<br />

:::::I'm going to chime in here to add something. While it's true anyone ''can'' edit anything, most users like to maintain some sense of ownership over their content. While this may be a false sense of ownership, it's usually respected. Few people will go in and edit your races or classes to make it what they want. If anyone has suggestions for content or balance they will likely just add a balance template or leave you a message on the discussion page. I wouldn't worry about people editing your content.

== Your Sourcebook ==<br />
<br />
Alright, so you're writing a sourcebook for 4e future. Very Cool. However, you aren't doing it quite right. Every page in your Sourcebook needs to be a subpage of the main page, not a new page. What I mean is your sourcebook is named "DnD 4.0 Future" so the URL for that page should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)". The URL for your page "Introduction" should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction". Is that clear? You can still link them like any other page, by putting "DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction" in the double brackets. What you've done right now is made several random pages floating around the wiki that aren't where they belong. Let me know if you need any more help. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:(Groan). Okay. I'll just change all the links to fit the new page name. By the way, it's a 4e Sourcebook. Why's there the 3.5e Sourcebook thing?<br />

<br />
==Problems with your Sourcebook==<br />
Alright, so it seems you're having some trouble understanding what your sourcebook is, and what it isn't.<br />
# Your sourcebook is a complete set of variant rules and modifications to an existing DnD Edition (4e, in your case)<br />
# Your sourcebook is written by you. As this is a wiki others may contribute, but 99% of the work is yours.<br />
# Your sourcebook is still 4e. Because of this, all the equipment needs to be labeled (4e Equipment) not (4e Future Equipment). The same is true for Races, Classes, Powers, and whatever else you write.<br />
Ok then, now that we've cleared that up, here's what we have to do:<br />
#Every piece of equipment you wrote that is labeled (4e Future Equipment) needs to be '''moved''' to (4e Equipment). The same is true for all your races and classes and everything.<br />
#To have all your 4e Future equipment (and other things) kept together, you need to add a category at the bottom of each page that indicates that page belongs to your sourcebook.<br />
Hopefully all this makes sense, as it is important. If you don't understand anything here, you need to ask someone about it before you continue work on your sourcebook. I don't really want to help you with the grunt work of moving pages and whatnot, but I'd be willing to teach you how to do things, if you need me to. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 03:50, 20 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Tiered bonuses for racial powers ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, thanks for contacting me!<br />
<br />
I'll explain further. Attack powers usually have the Implement or Weapon keywords. Therefore they benefit from enchantment bonuses, and are ''expected'' to have an enchantment bonus at later levels. Furthermore, Weapon attacks will benefit from a proficiency bonus (although they normally target AC).<br />
<br />
Racial attack powers will most often ''not'' have the Implement or Weapon keywords (since they are inherent abilities) and therefore need some attack bonus to keep up with enchantment bonuses. For example, the Dragonborn's breath weapon has +2 at heroic, +4 at paragon, +6 at epic.<br />
<br />
So no, you don't ''have'' to have the tiered bonus, but don't expect the power to still be effective by late Heroic. I hope that this is useful for you, please contact me if you have any queries about my other comments. Thanks! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 10:24, 22 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Damage ''usually'' tiers too. Dragonborn's breath goes 1d6, 2d6, 3d6 for example. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 00:39, 28 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== sci fi ==<br />

Hi Axl, on the subject of your Future work, I wondered if you had read the new Gamma World? A while ago I was working on adapting a sci-fi 4e but abandoned it when I realized that using GW as a foundation was much better than D&D. It uses basically the 4e system with with more appropriate skills and damage types, and instead of race/class you mix and match two origins. Anyway :) Keep up the good work. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 15:56, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:No, I have not. If you want to contribute Gamma World to 4e Future, you can. :) Though, I have worked on a Racial Hybrid system. If you wanna check it out, it's [[User: Axl/My Sandbox/Racial Hybrid System|here]] --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 16:06, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />

Hi Axl, I've removed the Pumped sourcebook per your request. I'd like to remove the associated page [[Pumped Eldritch Giant (4e Race)]] too, since it's not really usable in normal 4e games. If you have any plans for it though I'll leave it. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 01:59, 3 April 2012 (MDT)<br />

== Future ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, I'm thinking of making a 4e sourcebook based on the arcade game [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Commando Captain Commando]]. I'll be basing this on a Gamma World type mechanics. Since you have an interest in all things Future you may be interested to see how this is done, and how it might be applied to your Future sourcebook. If you like the style, perhaps I can help you with your own articles. I'll let you know when I've done a few examples (may be a few weeks!) [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 03:52, 9 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:All right. I'll check up on it when you get some stuff in it. Most of my stuff is based off of either Megaman or Kirby, though, I'm going to take one race from Fire Emblem, the Laguz, and integrate it into the sourcebook. You'll see how it's integrated when I modify one of the races I built. Actually, I think I'll actually end up splitting it into several races. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 12:19, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />

:::Okay, it seems to me like you're leaning towards D20 Modern (ten levels thing). Oh, I just went into your Origin link. Don't put (4e Future Origin). I was told not to do that. Just use (4e Origin). Might be a cool thing when more origins are put in. One question. How do you get more powers as you level up? Can you explain that in the sourcebook -or did I miss something?-? So with the origins, is it kinda like the tech tree from D20 Modern? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 13:49, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
::::Thanks for taking a look. The power progression is described at [[Future_(4e_Sourcebook)#Gaining Levels]] - At 1st level you should have 2 Novice Powers (usually two at-will attacks) and 1 Future Power (I haven't made any of those yet). By 10th level you have 2 Novice Powers, 2 Utility Powers, 2 Expert Powers and 3 Future Powers.<br />
::::I'm not familiar with d20 modern. The advantage of having a 10-level Origin is that they are much easier to create compared to D&D classes. I could try knocking out a few [http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Groups_and_Species Sonic] origins to see how that would work. I find the idea of mixing and matching concepts from lots of different games to be interesting.<br />
::::Also, I'm now regretting a bit calling mine "Future" as well. The intention was to be collaborative, I don't mean to appear competitive! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 02:05, 17 April 2012 (MDT)<br />

Hello {{PAGENAME}} and welcome to D&D Wiki. I hope you have been enjoying D&D Wiki and I hope you have been finding the information here useful. Before you start contributing it is recommended you make sure your [[Special:Preferences|user preferences]] match your preferences. I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well). Everything relating to admins can be found [[Meta Pages#Administration|here]].<br />
;Questions:<br />
If you have any questions about a specific page please ask it on that pages talk page. All other questions should be asked to another; user, admin, or me, the owner ([http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Green_Dragon&action=edit&section=new ask me a question]).<br />
;Formatting<br />
Formatting on D&D Wiki (or any wiki for that matter) can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Help:Editing] on Wikipedia (or even their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction Introduction] page). This will explain basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Again, if you have any questions about formatting on D&D Wiki please ask them as, I imagine, anybody will be more than happy to help you get them answered.<br />
;Community<br />
A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. Most discussions take place on content talk pages, however please feel free to ask specific D&D-related questions on [[DnD Discussion]]s. Anyway, possibly since discussions are never deleted, people try to be nice. This means follow Wikipedia's guidelines on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility civility] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etiquette etiquette] when discussing anything. Also, on a pretty different note, to ensure people know who posted what, please sign your name after a post with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) or by clicking on the signature icon ([[Image:Signature_icon.png]]). This will automatically produce your name and the date. Anyway, I hope you come to enjoy D&D Wiki and the community and welcome again, you are now a D&D Wikian. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:08, 30 May 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Few things ==<br />
<br />
First of all, you can sign your posts by hitting the button above the edit window, or else by adding four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).<br />
<br />
Secondly, make sure you are only adding content for which you are comfortable to have other people editing. Every time you edit a page there is a very clear warning that says "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I've noticed on many (all?) of your pages you have placed warnings saying "No one can edit this page", and that's simply not true. ''Anyone'' can edit your page, that's the whole point of a wiki.<br />
<br />
Hope that clears things up, [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 22:08, 2 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Is this a response to my Fell Knight 4e Power Request? Or is this for signiture on my creations?<br />
<br />
:Also, I really don't want anyone editing my stuff, because that's the way I want it to be. If someone says, "Hey, it looks unstable." And points out stuff, ''I'' will change it.<br />
<br />
:Thanks anyway though.<br />

::I just meant every time you write something on a talk page and want to sign it. If you use four tildes instead of manually typing "Axl", it will put a link to your userpage as well as the date and time of your post. It just makes it easier to follow later on.<br />
<br />
::As to someone editing your stuff, I see you asked Green Dragon. We'll see what he says, but the GNU license simply doesn't work that way. It doesn't matter if that's not what you want, unfortunately. Now it's proper etiquette to ask before you make significant changes, but you simply can't expect someone to ask you before changing *anything*.

:::::I'm going to chime in here to add something. While it's true anyone ''can'' edit anything, most users like to maintain some sense of ownership over their content. While this may be a false sense of ownership, it's usually respected. Few people will go in and edit your races or classes to make it what they want. If anyone has suggestions for content or balance they will likely just add a balance template or leave you a message on the discussion page. I wouldn't worry about people editing your content. I've uploaded some of my own work here and other people making edits has never been an issue. Plus, if they ever make drastic changes you don't like, there's always the revert button. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

==I'd like to hear from you==<br />
So you may or may not know this, but Dandwiki used to have an IRC chatroom where contributors could talk in real time and get help from one another. While the chatroom was eventually removed, I'm polling the community to see if we would like to have one again. Here is where you come in. If you have some time (it shouldn't take more than a few minutes), stop by [[Discussion:Re-opening_the_tavern%3F_What_does_the_community_think%3F|the discussion]] and post your thoughts. Thanks, [[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:49, 10 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

::Also, don't just recreate pages if you created them with the wrong name. See up at the top that button that says "move"? Use that instead. And lastly, make sure that all of your pages have the right identifier on them. You recently created [[Minotaur Rage]], which should instead be [[Minotaur Rage (4e Power)]]. I've cleaned up a ton of these so far; please be more careful in the future. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 11:43, 13 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

Just a heads up, I'm gonna go ahead and move your sandbox to your namespace. For future reference, sandboxes should be made under your name, for instance "User:Axl/Sandbox". --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 05:43, 16 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

If you have any more questions about tables, my [[User:Badger/sandbox3|new user guide]] (as of about 3 minutes ago) has some info about how to make [[User:Badger/sandbox3/tables|tables]]. The guide also mentions how to work with sandboxes, and a few other things you may be interested in.

<br />
:--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 16:25, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::No, lol. A tag is the classifier after the name of the page. i.e. [[Knight (3.5e Class)]] where the (3.5e Class) would be the tag. Or [[Generating Ability Scores (3.5e Variant Rule)]] where the (3.5e Variant Rule) would be the tag. It should say what the tag is supposed to be when your naming the page in the box for the preload. Does that make sense? --[[User:Vrail|Vrail]] 16:54, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Yeah, that makes sense. Has that not been showing up? Actually, are you talking about the stuff in [[User:Axl/My Sandbox| my sandbox]]? Can you list the stuff that needs the tags?<br />

::::::Actually, your "Future Equipment" page isn't in your sandbox. Like I said above, you want to include "User:Axl/" before the page name. So your sandbox became "User:Axl/My Sandbox" and your future weapons should become "User:Axl/Future Weapons" not "Future Weapons". It is important to get that sort of thing right, as we don't need any more half finished ideas on the wiki than we already have. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 19:02, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::::I just went through and moved everything to where it belongs. Since you are making new pages often, you'll need to get this right. If you want your work to be in your sandbox, the link should be <nowiki> [[User:Axl/Page Name]] </nowiki> which will show up as [[User:Axl/Page Name]]. If you don't want to display "User:Axl" in front of everything, and I don't blame you, write your links like this: <nowiki> [[User:Axl/Page Name|Display Name]]</nowiki> and it will show up as a link that displays whatever you wrote, regardless of the actual page name. If you have any questions please ask before making another five pages that have to be moved, redirected, and then deleted. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 19:16, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Your Sourcebook ==<br />
<br />
Alright, so you're writing a sourcebook for 4e future. Very Cool. However, you aren't doing it quite right. Every page in your Sourcebook needs to be a subpage of the main page, not a new page. What I mean is your sourcebook is named "DnD 4.0 Future" so the URL for that page should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)". The URL for your page "Introduction" should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction". Is that clear? You can still link them like any other page, by putting "DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction" in the double brackets. What you've done right now is made several random pages floating around the wiki that aren't where they belong. Let me know if you need any more help. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:(Groan). Okay. I'll just change all the links to fit the new page name. By the way, it's a 4e Sourcebook. Why's there the 3.5e Sourcebook thing?<br />
<br />
:--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 21:52, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I copied the URL from a 3.5e Sourcebook, and didn't think to change it. Yours should say 4e, not 3.5e. Sorry. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 22:01, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::That's interesting that you got it from a 3.5e thing. Has someone else already done something with almost the exact same name as mine?<br />

== Fun fact of the day ==<br />
<br />
I don't know if you've realized this, but did you know that there's a move button up near the top of the page? This can be used to move an incorrectly-titled page to use the correct title. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 23:24, 16 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== 4e Equipment ==<br />
<br />
Since you asked Green Dragon, and I'm not sure if you watch his talk page I thought I'd let you know I've started working on some 4e preloads. here is the [[User_talk:Green_Dragon#Add_new_equipment.3F|link]]. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:09, 17 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Problems with your Sourcebook==<br />
Alright, so it seems you're having some trouble understanding what your sourcebook is, and what it isn't.<br />
# Your sourcebook is a complete set of variant rules and modifications to an existing DnD Edition (4e, in your case)<br />
# Your sourcebook is written by you. As this is a wiki others may contribute, but 99% of the work is yours.<br />
# Your sourcebook is still 4e. Because of this, all the equipment needs to be labeled (4e Equipment) not (4e Future Equipment). The same is true for Races, Classes, Powers, and whatever else you write.<br />
Ok then, now that we've cleared that up, here's what we have to do:<br />
#Every piece of equipment you wrote that is labeled (4e Future Equipment) needs to be '''moved''' to (4e Equipment). The same is true for all your races and classes and everything.<br />
#To have all your 4e Future equipment (and other things) kept together, you need to add a category at the bottom of each page that indicates that page belongs to your sourcebook.<br />
Hopefully all this makes sense, as it is important. If you don't understand anything here, you need to ask someone about it before you continue work on your sourcebook. I don't really want to help you with the grunt work of moving pages and whatnot, but I'd be willing to teach you how to do things, if you need me to. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 03:50, 20 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Tiered bonuses for racial powers ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, thanks for contacting me!<br />
<br />
I'll explain further. Attack powers usually have the Implement or Weapon keywords. Therefore they benefit from enchantment bonuses, and are ''expected'' to have an enchantment bonus at later levels. Furthermore, Weapon attacks will benefit from a proficiency bonus (although they normally target AC).<br />
<br />
Racial attack powers will most often ''not'' have the Implement or Weapon keywords (since they are inherent abilities) and therefore need some attack bonus to keep up with enchantment bonuses. For example, the Dragonborn's breath weapon has +2 at heroic, +4 at paragon, +6 at epic.<br />
<br />
So no, you don't ''have'' to have the tiered bonus, but don't expect the power to still be effective by late Heroic. I hope that this is useful for you, please contact me if you have any queries about my other comments. Thanks! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 10:24, 22 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Damage ''usually'' tiers too. Dragonborn's breath goes 1d6, 2d6, 3d6 for example. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 00:39, 28 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== sci fi ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, on the subject of your Future work, I wondered if you had read the new Gamma World? A while ago I was working on adapting a sci-fi 4e but abandoned it when I realized that using GW as a foundation was much better than D&D. It uses basically the 4e system with with more appropriate skills and damage types, and instead of race/class you mix and match two origins. Anyway :) Keep up the good work. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 15:56, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:No, I have not. If you want to contribute Gamma World to 4e Future, you can. :) Though, I have worked on a Racial Hybrid system. If you wanna check it out, it's [[User: Axl/My Sandbox/Racial Hybrid System|here]] --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 16:06, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />

== pumped ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, I've removed the Pumped sourcebook per your request. I'd like to remove the associated page [[Pumped Eldritch Giant (4e Race)]] too, since it's not really usable in normal 4e games. If you have any plans for it though I'll leave it. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 01:59, 3 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:No, you can remove it. It was meant for the Pumped sourcebook. So I'm guessing you're an admin on here, eh? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 12:12, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />

== Future ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, I'm thinking of making a 4e sourcebook based on the arcade game [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Commando Captain Commando]]. I'll be basing this on a Gamma World type mechanics. Since you have an interest in all things Future you may be interested to see how this is done, and how it might be applied to your Future sourcebook. If you like the style, perhaps I can help you with your own articles. I'll let you know when I've done a few examples (may be a few weeks!) [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 03:52, 9 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:All right. I'll check up on it when you get some stuff in it. Most of my stuff is based off of either Megaman or Kirby, though, I'm going to take one race from Fire Emblem, the Laguz, and integrate it into the sourcebook. You'll see how it's integrated when I modify one of the races I built. Actually, I think I'll actually end up splitting it into several races. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 12:19, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
::I made a start at [[Future (4e Sourcebook)]]. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 13:00, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Okay, it seems to me like you're leaning towards D20 Modern (ten levels thing). Oh, I just went into your Origin link. Don't put (4e Future Origin). I was told not to do that. Just use (4e Origin). Might be a cool thing when more origins are put in. One question. How do you get more powers as you level up? Can you explain that in the sourcebook -or did I miss something?-? So with the origins, is it kinda like the tech tree from D20 Modern? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 13:49, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
::::Thanks for taking a look. The power progression is described at [[Future_(4e_Sourcebook)#Gaining Levels]] - At 1st level you should have 2 Novice Powers (usually two at-will attacks) and 1 Future Power (I haven't made any of those yet). By 10th level you have 2 Novice Powers, 2 Utility Powers, 2 Expert Powers and 3 Future Powers.<br />
::::I'm not familiar with d20 modern. The advantage of having a 10-level Origin is that they are much easier to create compared to D&D classes. I could try knocking out a few [http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Groups_and_Species Sonic] origins to see how that would work. I find the idea of mixing and matching concepts from lots of different games to be interesting.<br />
::::Also, I'm now regretting a bit calling mine "Future" as well. The intention was to be collaborative, I don't mean to appear competitive! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 02:05, 17 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::Ohhhh, okay! So that's how leveling up works. Thanks for explaining!<br />
<br />
:::::In mine, I was thinking about adding Halo armor (probably should put weapons in there too).<br />
<br />
:::::Nah, don't worry about calling yours "Future". It's all right. :) --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 20:34, 18 April 2012 (MDT)</div>Axlhttps://www.dandwiki.com/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Axl&diff=576137User talk:Axl2012-06-02T23:38:20Z<p>Axl: /* Breadcrumb Note */</p>

<div>== Welcome to D&D Wiki! ==<br />
<br />
;Welcome!<br />
Hello {{PAGENAME}} and welcome to D&D Wiki. I hope you have been enjoying D&D Wiki and I hope you have been finding the information here useful. Before you start contributing it is recommended you make sure your [[Special:Preferences|user preferences]] match your preferences. I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well). Everything relating to admins can be found [[Meta Pages#Administration|here]].<br />
;Questions:<br />
If you have any questions about a specific page please ask it on that pages talk page. All other questions should be asked to another; user, admin, or me, the owner ([http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Green_Dragon&action=edit&section=new ask me a question]).<br />
;Formatting<br />
Formatting on D&D Wiki (or any wiki for that matter) can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Help:Editing] on Wikipedia (or even their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction Introduction] page). This will explain basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Again, if you have any questions about formatting on D&D Wiki please ask them as, I imagine, anybody will be more than happy to help you get them answered.<br />
;Community<br />
A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. Most discussions take place on content talk pages, however please feel free to ask specific D&D-related questions on [[DnD Discussion]]s. Anyway, possibly since discussions are never deleted, people try to be nice. This means follow Wikipedia's guidelines on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility civility] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etiquette etiquette] when discussing anything. Also, on a pretty different note, to ensure people know who posted what, please sign your name after a post with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) or by clicking on the signature icon ([[Image:Signature_icon.png]]). This will automatically produce your name and the date. Anyway, I hope you come to enjoy D&D Wiki and the community and welcome again, you are now a D&D Wikian. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:08, 30 May 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Few things ==<br />
<br />
First of all, you can sign your posts by hitting the button above the edit window, or else by adding four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).<br />
<br />
Secondly, make sure you are only adding content for which you are comfortable to have other people editing. Every time you edit a page there is a very clear warning that says "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I've noticed on many (all?) of your pages you have placed warnings saying "No one can edit this page", and that's simply not true. ''Anyone'' can edit your page, that's the whole point of a wiki.<br />
<br />
Hope that clears things up, [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 22:08, 2 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Is this a response to my Fell Knight 4e Power Request? Or is this for signiture on my creations?<br />
<br />
:Also, I really don't want anyone editing my stuff, because that's the way I want it to be. If someone says, "Hey, it looks unstable." And points out stuff, ''I'' will change it.<br />
<br />
:Thanks anyway though.<br />
:--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 22:20, 2 June 2010 (UTC)Axl<br />
<br />
::I just meant every time you write something on a talk page and want to sign it. If you use four tildes instead of manually typing "Axl", it will put a link to your userpage as well as the date and time of your post. It just makes it easier to follow later on.<br />
<br />
::As to someone editing your stuff, I see you asked Green Dragon. We'll see what he says, but the GNU license simply doesn't work that way. It doesn't matter if that's not what you want, unfortunately. Now it's proper etiquette to ask before you make significant changes, but you simply can't expect someone to ask you before changing *anything*. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 23:13, 2 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

:::::I'm going to chime in here to add something. While it's true anyone ''can'' edit anything, most users like to maintain some sense of ownership over their content. While this may be a false sense of ownership, it's usually respected. Few people will go in and edit your races or classes to make it what they want. If anyone has suggestions for content or balance they will likely just add a balance template or leave you a message on the discussion page. I wouldn't worry about people editing your content. I've uploaded some of my own work here and other people making edits has never been an issue. Plus, if they ever make drastic changes you don't like, there's always the revert button. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

:Check out [[Template:4e_Power|this]]. It is the full template, with an example. It should be able to answer any of your questions. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 01:54, 3 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
:In short, add this: <br />

|secondarytarget=Secondary target for the power. Delete if it isn't used.<br />
|secondaryattack=Attack stat against the secondary target. Delete if it isn't used.<br />
|secondaryattackextra=<br />

==I'd like to hear from you==<br />
So you may or may not know this, but Dandwiki used to have an IRC chatroom where contributors could talk in real time and get help from one another. While the chatroom was eventually removed, I'm polling the community to see if we would like to have one again. Here is where you come in. If you have some time (it shouldn't take more than a few minutes), stop by [[Discussion:Re-opening_the_tavern%3F_What_does_the_community_think%3F|the discussion]] and post your thoughts.

::Also, don't just recreate pages if you created them with the wrong name. See up at the top that button that says "move"? Use that instead. And lastly, make sure that all of your pages have the right identifier on them. You recently created [[Minotaur Rage]], which should instead be [[Minotaur Rage (4e Power)]]. I've cleaned up a ton of these so far; please be more careful in the future. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 11:43, 13 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Your Sandbox ==<br />
<br />
Just a heads up, I'm gonna go ahead and move your sandbox to your namespace. For future reference, sandboxes should be made under your name, for instance "User:Axl/Sandbox". --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 05:43, 16 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

::::::Sorry, yeah, I completely forgot about this. I didn't come back to see if you had questions. I see Vrail answered your tables question. If you have any more questions about tables, my [[User:Badger/sandbox3|new user guide]] (as of about 3 minutes ago) has some info about how to make [[User:Badger/sandbox3/tables|tables]]. The guide also mentions how to work with sandboxes, and a few other things you may be interested in.

<br />
:--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 16:25, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::No, lol. A tag is the classifier after the name of the page. i.e. [[Knight (3.5e Class)]] where the (3.5e Class) would be the tag. Or [[Generating Ability Scores (3.5e Variant Rule)]] where the (3.5e Variant Rule) would be the tag. It should say what the tag is supposed to be when your naming the page in the box for the preload. Does that make sense? --[[User:Vrail|Vrail]] 16:54, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Yeah, that makes sense. Has that not been showing up? Actually, are you talking about the stuff in [[User:Axl/My Sandbox| my sandbox]]? Can you list the stuff that needs the tags?<br />

::::::Actually, your "Future Equipment" page isn't in your sandbox. Like I said above, you want to include "User:Axl/" before the page name. So your sandbox became "User:Axl/My Sandbox" and your future weapons should become "User:Axl/Future Weapons" not "Future Weapons". It is important to get that sort of thing right, as we don't need any more half finished ideas on the wiki than we already have. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 19:02, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::::I just went through and moved everything to where it belongs. Since you are making new pages often, you'll need to get this right. If you want your work to be in your sandbox, the link should be <nowiki> [[User:Axl/Page Name]] </nowiki> which will show up as [[User:Axl/Page Name]]. If you don't want to display "User:Axl" in front of everything, and I don't blame you, write your links like this: <nowiki> [[User:Axl/Page Name|Display Name]]</nowiki> and it will show up as a link that displays whatever you wrote, regardless of the actual page name. If you have any questions please ask before making another five pages that have to be moved, redirected, and then deleted. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 19:16, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Your Sourcebook ==<br />
<br />
Alright, so you're writing a sourcebook for 4e future. Very Cool. However, you aren't doing it quite right. Every page in your Sourcebook needs to be a subpage of the main page, not a new page. What I mean is your sourcebook is named "DnD 4.0 Future" so the URL for that page should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)". The URL for your page "Introduction" should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction". Is that clear? You can still link them like any other page, by putting "DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction" in the double brackets. What you've done right now is made several random pages floating around the wiki that aren't where they belong. Let me know if you need any more help. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:(Groan). Okay. I'll just change all the links to fit the new page name. By the way, it's a 4e Sourcebook. Why's there the 3.5e Sourcebook thing?<br />
<br />
:--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 21:52, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I copied the URL from a 3.5e Sourcebook, and didn't think to change it. Yours should say 4e, not 3.5e. Sorry. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 22:01, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::That's interesting that you got it from a 3.5e thing. Has someone else already done something with almost the exact same name as mine?<br />
<br />
:::--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 21:58, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::No, I just pulled the URL from Races of War (one of the most complete and perfect sourcebooks you'll come across) and changed the name, not the edition. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 22:01, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Fun fact of the day ==<br />
<br />
I don't know if you've realized this, but did you know that there's a move button up near the top of the page? This can be used to move an incorrectly-titled page to use the correct title. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 23:24, 16 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== 4e Equipment ==<br />
<br />
Since you asked Green Dragon, and I'm not sure if you watch his talk page I thought I'd let you know I've started working on some 4e preloads. here is the [[User_talk:Green_Dragon#Add_new_equipment.3F|link]]. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:09, 17 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Problems with your Sourcebook==<br />
Alright, so it seems you're having some trouble understanding what your sourcebook is, and what it isn't.<br />
# Your sourcebook is a complete set of variant rules and modifications to an existing DnD Edition (4e, in your case)<br />
# Your sourcebook is written by you. As this is a wiki others may contribute, but 99% of the work is yours.<br />
# Your sourcebook is still 4e. Because of this, all the equipment needs to be labeled (4e Equipment) not (4e Future Equipment). The same is true for Races, Classes, Powers, and whatever else you write.<br />
Ok then, now that we've cleared that up, here's what we have to do:<br />
#Every piece of equipment you wrote that is labeled (4e Future Equipment) needs to be '''moved''' to (4e Equipment). The same is true for all your races and classes and everything.<br />
#To have all your 4e Future equipment (and other things) kept together, you need to add a category at the bottom of each page that indicates that page belongs to your sourcebook.<br />
Hopefully all this makes sense, as it is important. If you don't understand anything here, you need to ask someone about it before you continue work on your sourcebook. I don't really want to help you with the grunt work of moving pages and whatnot, but I'd be willing to teach you how to do things, if you need me to. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 03:50, 20 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Tiered bonuses for racial powers ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, thanks for contacting me!<br />
<br />
I'll explain further. Attack powers usually have the Implement or Weapon keywords. Therefore they benefit from enchantment bonuses, and are ''expected'' to have an enchantment bonus at later levels. Furthermore, Weapon attacks will benefit from a proficiency bonus (although they normally target AC).<br />
<br />
Racial attack powers will most often ''not'' have the Implement or Weapon keywords (since they are inherent abilities) and therefore need some attack bonus to keep up with enchantment bonuses. For example, the Dragonborn's breath weapon has +2 at heroic, +4 at paragon, +6 at epic.<br />
<br />
So no, you don't ''have'' to have the tiered bonus, but don't expect the power to still be effective by late Heroic. I hope that this is useful for you, please contact me if you have any queries about my other comments. Thanks! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 10:24, 22 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Damage ''usually'' tiers too. Dragonborn's breath goes 1d6, 2d6, 3d6 for example. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 00:39, 28 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== sci fi ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, on the subject of your Future work, I wondered if you had read the new Gamma World? A while ago I was working on adapting a sci-fi 4e but abandoned it when I realized that using GW as a foundation was much better than D&D. It uses basically the 4e system with with more appropriate skills and damage types, and instead of race/class you mix and match two origins. Anyway :) Keep up the good work. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 15:56, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:No, I have not. If you want to contribute Gamma World to 4e Future, you can. :) Though, I have worked on a Racial Hybrid system. If you wanna check it out, it's [[User: Axl/My Sandbox/Racial Hybrid System|here]] --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 16:06, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />

== pumped ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, I've removed the Pumped sourcebook per your request. I'd like to remove the associated page [[Pumped Eldritch Giant (4e Race)]] too, since it's not really usable in normal 4e games. If you have any plans for it though I'll leave it. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 01:59, 3 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:No, you can remove it. It was meant for the Pumped sourcebook. So I'm guessing you're an admin on here, eh? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 12:12, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Future ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, I'm thinking of making a 4e sourcebook based on the arcade game [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Commando Captain Commando]]. I'll be basing this on a Gamma World type mechanics. Since you have an interest in all things Future you may be interested to see how this is done, and how it might be applied to your Future sourcebook. If you like the style, perhaps I can help you with your own articles. I'll let you know when I've done a few examples (may be a few weeks!) [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 03:52, 9 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:All right. I'll check up on it when you get some stuff in it. Most of my stuff is based off of either Megaman or Kirby, though, I'm going to take one race from Fire Emblem, the Laguz, and integrate it into the sourcebook. You'll see how it's integrated when I modify one of the races I built. Actually, I think I'll actually end up splitting it into several races. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 12:19, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
::I made a start at [[Future (4e Sourcebook)]]. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 13:00, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Okay, it seems to me like you're leaning towards D20 Modern (ten levels thing). Oh, I just went into your Origin link. Don't put (4e Future Origin). I was told not to do that. Just use (4e Origin). Might be a cool thing when more origins are put in. One question. How do you get more powers as you level up? Can you explain that in the sourcebook -or did I miss something?-? So with the origins, is it kinda like the tech tree from D20 Modern? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 13:49, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
::::Thanks for taking a look. The power progression is described at [[Future_(4e_Sourcebook)#Gaining Levels]] - At 1st level you should have 2 Novice Powers (usually two at-will attacks) and 1 Future Power (I haven't made any of those yet). By 10th level you have 2 Novice Powers, 2 Utility Powers, 2 Expert Powers and 3 Future Powers.<br />
::::I'm not familiar with d20 modern. The advantage of having a 10-level Origin is that they are much easier to create compared to D&D classes. I could try knocking out a few [http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Groups_and_Species Sonic] origins to see how that would work. I find the idea of mixing and matching concepts from lots of different games to be interesting.<br />
::::Also, I'm now regretting a bit calling mine "Future" as well. The intention was to be collaborative, I don't mean to appear competitive! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 02:05, 17 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::Ohhhh, okay! So that's how leveling up works. Thanks for explaining!<br />
<br />
:::::In mine, I was thinking about adding Halo armor (probably should put weapons in there too).<br />
<br />
:::::Nah, don't worry about calling yours "Future". It's all right. :) --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 20:34, 18 April 2012 (MDT)</div>Axlhttps://www.dandwiki.com/w/index.php?title=User:Axl&diff=576130User:Axl2012-06-02T22:05:31Z<p>Axl: /* Classes */</p>

;Welcome!<br />
Hello {{PAGENAME}}, and welcome to D&D Wiki. I hope you have been enjoying this site, and I hope you have been finding the information here on D&D Wiki useful. I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well) here on D&D Wiki along with a couple other people who make up "The Face" of D&D Wiki. An entire list of admins can be found [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Special:Listusers/sysop|limit=5000}} here].<br />
;Questions:<br />
If you have any question about D&D Wiki, D&D, formatting on D&D Wiki, what day today is, or whatever, an admin will, many times, give the best answer.

;Formatting<br />
Formatting on D&D Wiki (or any wiki for that matter) can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Help:Editing] on Wikipedia (or even their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction Introduction] page). This will explain the basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Again, if you have any questions about formatting on D&D Wiki please ask them as, I imagine, anybody will be more than happy to help you get them answered.<br />
;Community<br />
A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. Most discussions take place on content talk pages, however please feel free to walk into [[Special:TheTavern|The Tavern]] (our local chat room) and talk to some fellow D&D Wikians. Anyway, on D&D Wiki, possibly since discussions are never deleted, people try to be nice.

Concerning your comments on traps, the DMG says that traps can indeed be Solo. The Soul Gem is the only example provided, but the text indicates that they should be complex and require a skill challenge in order to defeat. Minion traps are difficult for me to imageine. When i think of minions, i think "one-hit-kill", and traps cannot be killed, in the traditional sense. One way you might make them "miniony" is to make their damamge (if any) constant; such as 5 fire damage rather than 1d10 fire damage, or similar. Otherwise, they might as well just be easier traps or have several of them compose a larger trap? I know i've seen a trap with several pressure plates and points of danger. Hope this helps, albiet perhaps a little late in coming. [[User:Techpriest|Techpriest]] 17:05, 3 October 2009 (MDT)<br />
:Hah, here is your belated reply. I think that the effects of "minion traps" would be so minor, that they could instead be treated as a terrain effect. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 15:14, 8 July 2011 (MDT)<br />

I hope you like this idea, but I'm open to suggestions. You'll notice I didn't include part of the goblin race. It's the part that's hardest for me, so I thought you could come up with that.Until next time, --Korinn 16:07, 27 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Hi. Try "+2 Dexterity, +2 Charisma or +2 Constitution". Goblins don't strike me as being particularly diplomatic. Taunt allows the player to move all the enemies on the field, three times a round, every round, every encounter. It could be modified into an encounter power that only taunts one enemy. Jump should be an Immediate Reaction, and a level 2 (or higher) racial utility power. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 01:46, 29 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus Topics (Race, Feats, Powers, etc) ==<br />
<br />
Hello Marasmusine, <br />
<br />
As I read on your user talk page here you are interested in improving and expanding all user created races and their relative content, and I am exceptionally glad you contacted me via [[User talk:Argent Fatalis|my user talk page]] regarding the content I am developing. I have little experience with D&D and have but a few fragments of what is mixed 4e and 3.5e (and I believe even earlier content like 3e) in my possession. However, I have several concepts and ideas that I would like to see played out and experimented with. Many of the balance issues come from lack of experience, or from design ideals with the [[Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Maioribus race]], such as a philosophy of equilibrium, where some aspects such as magic are exchanged for greater, and more natural melee prowess, along side ideals of sacrifice; playing a Large creature alone seems to come with reasonable and expected penalty, but a Quadruped on top of this offers even greater weaknesses, and benefits, be them game mechanics and more importantly, roleplaying encounters.<br />
<br />
Seeing as you are much more well versed in D&D than I, I again appreciate your notification and appropriate flagging of the pages in question. I would like to ask for your assistance in discussion and refinement of both the Sentient Smilodon as a race, but also aid with its inherent mechanical issues (Large quadrupedal Beast, lack of conventional weapons, magical void), to create a powerful, yet well balanced race that differs from the normal format.<br />
<br />
--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] 13:08, 11 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
Hello again Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
Thank you for your [[User talk:Argent Fatalis|quick reply]] to my message here on your talk page. Hoping that I might better be able to supply general concepts and ideals for the Sentient Smilodon as a race to you, I have [[Talk:Talk:Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|edited the talk page for the race]]. Regarding the changes, I absolutely not mind any edits made if they could be discussed with myself, primarily for the reasoning that I would like to know what is considered "in bounds" and or what the issue is as a learning exercise. I have absolutely no issues with commentary, critique, modification and the like, but would rather avoid having to completely reformat functions in the future. That said, I believe many of the issues of balance (such as Mortal Bite and Maim) come from my lack of understanding of 4e scaling, and in some part, miscommunication and, given the raw amount of information I've crafted thus far, some English failures or sentences not worded correctly. I hope that on the Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus' talk page that I've better explained things that may not have been clear, worded poorly, or are just not obvious. For example, Darkvision seems to be convoluted in the area of true "night vision" and "pitch black vision", where in the case of Maioribus, it is simply the ability to see with minimal light, but function normally in day time, typical of other felines.<br />
<br />
A "Design Declaimer" I believe is a must, as the whole idea, while I believe would be just fine to any party, I admit is certainly not for everyone, and I make numerous references to Dungeon Master discretion for exceptions within the talk page information, which could lead to significant problems in some scenarios, so caution is absolutely advised.<br />
<br />
There are indeed images of the closest relative to this otherwise fictional creature, in the actual (but now extinct) ''Smilodon populator'', along with its relatives including the famous ''Smilodon fatalis''. I can certainly acquire a picture.<br />
<br />
--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] 15:35, 11 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
Hello Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
I noted you made mention of a possibility of a Race-Class restriction in the [[Talk:Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Smilodon Maioribus talk page]], where certain Powers (and some Feats) could be disassociated from Racial restrictions and implemented into a specific class, in order to solve major mechanical flaws, such as weapons, armor, Power damage, Feat scaling, etc. This idea had come to me in earlier times, but I was unsure as to the rules regarding the idea of making Maioribus limited to one (or a handful) of Race specific classes, which would have the specific features (outside of explicitly racial, such as Large, Quadruped, Beast, etc) contained within them. Is this reasonable possibility? While I can believe some users who may review the race will be disappointed, I equally believe a Disclaimer could be included stating that the race may not function well for all 4e Campaigns, and that it would be up to a Dungeon Master's decision if he or she would allow the Greater Smilodon race, and additionally, deviation from its specific Class-Race type(s), so as not to rule out possibility.<br />
<br />
With this, I again appreciate your assistance and patience with the construction, refinement, balancing and ultimate publishing of [[Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Smilodon Maioribus]] on the Dungeons and Dragons Wiki.<br />
<br />
--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] 12:53, 12 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
Hello Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
I've made several adjustments to the [[Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Smilodon Maioribus page]] including the addition of the Race-Class and its functions, such as Setup, Feral Challenge, and the migration of Hemorrhaging Wounds and Mortal Bite to that area. I would like your opinion on its current status and possible approval should it seem solid and well rounded before we progress to modifying the Racial Feats (and ultimately creating Class Feats). One of the former Racial Feats, [[Intensity (4e Feat)|Intensity]] has been modified accordingly to 4e Standards (instead of using 3e and 3.5e).<br />
<br />
When possible, if you could re-review the entirety of the Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus race to see if I missed any details or if it includes portions that are no longer applicable. Thank you for your continued assistance, Marasmusine.<br />
<br />

With my topic of Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus now on hold for several months, as I will likely have limited access to the Internet, I give you permission to edit it, keeping in the spirit of its design and overall feeling, as you see fit. I hope that if you choose to do so, that you find great success and satisfaction in doing so. I will certainly return as soon as possible, and wish to speak with you again in the future.<br />
<br />
With best regards and thanks,<br />

Hello Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
I would like to thank you for your help with my Tiefling-orc race. i had a litle trouble with the formating i hope to fix that problem in the future. this is a grate site i find it realy helpful.--[[User:Lucasjames|Lucasjames]] 19:08, 21 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
Hello Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
Congratulations on your Adminship and your continued work here on the D&D Wiki, you have done an outstanding job, as I can say from personal experience and your reward was well deserved. I hope the best for you on-site and off, and am quite glad to have graduated from my basic training for the United States Air Force. With this, I will be online once more, and will resume working on the Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus race and its features. I acknowledge that your duties as an Administrator of the D&D Wiki comes first, but I would be most grateful for any and all input and critique you could offer me again as you did prior. Once again, congratulations and well done.<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />

Do you ever get the feeling that they're doing it just to mess with us? [[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 10:48, 13 January 2012 (MST)<br />

::Me too, but this is a D&D wiki - I could understand selling D&D-related products, but these spam posts have nothing at all to do with D&D. No one will ever even see those posts (except to delete them), because nothing on this wiki has anything to do with them. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 11:45, 13 January 2012 (MST)<br />
:Ah but you must realise these are bots, not people. All that matters is that maybe 1 person in 10,000 clicks on that link. Adding recaptcha to new account creation would stop all this :) 11:54, 13 January 2012 (MST)<br />

==Reviews==<br />
Is there somewhere I can post to ask for reviews on a page? I'm trying to improve one of my PrCs that I put together, but nobody has reviewed it so I don't know what needs to be changed. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 10:42, 22 January 2012 (MST)<br />
:Hi Silkverkin, I'm flattered that you think that I might know! I can't see any formal review request system, so can only suggest the main talk page, or asking individual editors. I'd be happy to look at it myself, although it's been a few years since I've played 3.5 so I may not be able to suggest much. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 10:57, 22 January 2012 (MST)<br />
::I suppose I could ask Green Dragon about it, to be sure. If there isn't one already, maybe we (the wiki as a whole) should start one. I know that I at least am somewhat uncertain when making new content, with regard to balance and whatnot. Balance is one of my sticking points - I like to make sure that even my April Fools submissions are properly balanced. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 11:53, 22 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Post Review ==<br />
<br />
Hey. First off, thanks for helping me balance my 4e race. But I'm just wondering, after I get everything fixed, can I remove that notice on my own and put it back into the 'races without improving template' section on my own? Or should I wait for someone to give the changes a once over first? --[[User:Fortis|Fortis]] 23:23, 27 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Yes, and you are asked to. I tried to make the wording on the [[Template:Reviewing Template]] understandable in this regard. For example, it says "''When the mechanics have been changed so that this template is no longer applicable please remove this template.''" Do you find this wording clear? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 00:23, 28 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
<br />
== spam template ==<br />
It's so tempting sometimes, you know what I mean? Imagine it - being able to report spam just by adding <nowiki>{{spam}}</nowiki> to the page, and have all the details filled in automatically. So simple, so elegant... and yet so not worth the time it would take to actually create such a thing. <br />
<br />
On a side note, something tells me I've been awake for far too long. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 01:54, 27 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:I've done a little digging and apparently spammers have found an exploit in reCaptcha that allows their spambots through about 40% of the time, hence the increase in spam from January onwards. A lot of wikis and forums have been suffering with this. Hopefully my admin application will go through and I can zap the spam as I see it (feel free [[Requests for Adminship/Marasmusine|to comment!]].

::I hope it goes through. I'm behind you all the way! On a side note, perhaps looking into WP Captcha Free might be useful as well.

== Adminship ==<br />
<br />
Welcome to Adminship. You are now part of "The Face" of D&D Wiki. You have more burden on yourself now that you are an admin because users will be looking at you for editing help, knowledge about pages, etc. Make sure to familiarize yourself with [[Meta Pages]] to help address this burden. I recommend you take a look at [[Special:ListGroupRights]] if you have not already. Some of the the new feature's uses follow. You can now delete pages, protect pages, rollback edits, block users and IP's, edit every page, patrol edits, and do a couple more minor things.<br />
* Deleting pages is normally done through [[:Category:Candidates for Deletion]]. Anything with a good reason to be deleted on that page should be deleted. Other times pages should be deleted is in the case of vandalism, spam, or even when someone makes a page and after a few edits they either blank the page or replace it with something like "Please delete this". If this page consisted of close to just the preload it is fine to just delete it.<br />
* Protecting pages has quite a few different times when it should be used. Pages should be protected according to the author's wishes (with [[Template:Locked Page]] added to the top of the page in question), in case of conflict (with [[Template:Temp Locked Page]] added to the top of the page in question), in case of [[Help:FAQ#What are OGL, OGC, SRD, and GNU FPL?|OGC]] published materials (with [[Template:OGL Top]] added to the top of the page in question and [[Template:OGL Bottom]] added to the bottom), or finally if the page is a vital part of D&D Wiki's organization. Also, if it deals with D&D Wiki's organization the page needs to be protected. For Example [[3.5e Homebrew]] is protected from all non-sysop edits whereas a different page like [[LA 0 Races]] is only protected from IP edits. No template needs to be added to pages if they are part of D&D Wiki's organization (even though some do exist like [[Template:Admin Locked Page]])<br />
* Blocking a user or IP should be used with respect to [[Meta Pages#Policies|policy]]. To block someone just click "block" (found on [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]], the diff in question, the userpage, etc) and fill out the corresponding form. For a typical vandalism attack I normally block the user for two weeks. Certain things demand a longer block and others a shorter. No standards have been set for block lengths so use your best judgment.<br />
* Editing every page on D&D Wiki mostly means you can now edit the [[SRD:System Reference Document|SRD]] and the [[MSRD:Modern System Reference Document|MSRD]]. Feel free to edit them if inaccuracies are found. If interested further please look at the [[SRD Talk:System Reference Document#SRD ToDo List|SRD ToDO List]] or the [[MSRD Talk:Modern System Reference Document#Tasks|MSRD tasks]]; I am sure your help will be appreciated.<br />
Now that you are an admin I would say more burden is placed on you, but I really hope you enjoy being an admin and I hope you decide to stay around on D&D Wiki for a while more to come. Welcome to Adminship. Again, you're now part of "The Face" of D&D Wiki. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 09:17, 28 February 2012 (MST)<br />
:Congratulations! You've earned it. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 12:54, 28 February 2012 (MST)<br />
::Thanks for your support guys, I look forward to improving and maintaining the wiki. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 13:38, 28 February 2012 (MST)<br />

Congratulatoins! I have no dout that you'll be an awesome Admin.--[[User:Viziton|Viziton]] 11:39, 29 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Deletion ==<br />
<br />
When deleting pages "''Only author requests deletion''", and similar reasonings, are meaningless. Anyone can request that any page gets deleted. The main contributor (what you are using the word author to mean) does get a say, but like anyone main contributors can be wrong. Just be careful, and use the page as the base not the contributors.<br />
<br />
In addition please remember to delete the talk pages of every page you delete. If the page gets restored the talk page will get restored as well. Likewise, if the page gets deleted so does the talk page. Also after deleting a page remember to check "What links here". If anything links to the deleted page it needs to be addressed; by removing the link, striking it though, etc. Looks good though! --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 09:55, 29 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Make sure to be mindful and check "What links here". For example, [http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Nestor_%28DnD_Deity%29 Nestoy (DnD Deity)] was missed. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 15:27, 21 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Sorry, that was clumsy of me. It won't happen again. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 16:08, 21 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::I would recommend that after you delete a page check "What links here" ''then'' close that tab (for example). Please do this so that we do not end up with a lot of broken links. For example see [http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Talk:Paradoxes_%28DnD_Race%29], [http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Trolls,_LotR_%28DnD_Race%29], [http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Theurge_of_Charisma_%28DnD_Character_Optimization%29], and [http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Theurge_of_Charisma_%28DnD_Optimized_Character_Build%29] (I only checked a few). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 08:21, 3 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::I noticed you deleting some things, and had a question; if I'm the only contributor to an article and want that article deleted, would you be willing to delete said article?<br />
<br />
:::::I would like to be able to - that's one deletion rationale available to me at Wikipedia - but GD has made it clear that such articles will need to stand on their own merits. If it's incomplete, I can mark it as abandoned at remove it at a later date if it hasn't been improved. If it's just ''bad'' then I can see if we can get consensus for deletion. Otherwise there's not much I can do. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 01:52, 16 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::The pages are being looked at, ergo they are the ones being seen for merit. Users are not in this process, so why include them?<br />
::::::By the way, I looked over your recent deletions and the reasons seem very good. However, make sure to check "what links here" for all the deleted pages. I did this this time for you, and found: [http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Lizardfolk_Powers_%284e_Power_List%29], [http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Bend_%284e_Power%29], [http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Flurry_of_Blows_%284e_Power%29], [http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Masked_Outstrider_%283.5e_Class%29], [http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Master_of_the_void_%283.5e_Class%29], [http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Mimic_%28DnD_Class%29], and [http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Magic_Knight_%283.5e_Class%29]. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 13:30, 19 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
:::::::Some of them are from pages that are going to be deleted anyway; some are not in mainspace (e.g. user pages - I believe the onus is on the user to maintain their page); and some are from #dpl tables that haven't caught up yet! I'll sort out the stragglers. <br />

==An apology==<br />
Okay, listen. I can't say I'm sorry for what I did, because I don't know what it was. But I know I've missed being part of the community these last few weeks. But when you did that to me, when you said I was spamming, that hurt, Marasmusine. You know how I feel about spam, and how I've proudly fought against it. I regret the rift that formed between us, and eventually resulted in what you did to me. I believed in your honesty, and your integrity, and above all your honor. But then you did a thing to me that shattered all that, and I never even got to know the real reason behind it. That is what I truly regret, the loss of the friendship I thought we shared. All I'm asking is that you just give me a second chance. I don't want to go. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 13:05, 11 March 2012 (MST)<br />
:I've replied on your talk page, I'm very sorry for this unintended mistake. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 13:47, 11 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Don't worry about it. I already kinda knew that it was a mistake, but I couldn't pass up the chance to be all dramatic about it. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 14:28, 11 March 2012 (MDT)<br />

== [[Frozen Castle (4e Equipment)|Frozen Castle]] ==<br />
<br />
Okay, so I've looked at the Frozen Castle armor. Remember, I'm dealing in the future. Unless there's a campaign change where they include magic, there isn't magic. This is connected to my D&D 4.0 Future sourcebook. So could I take off the minimum enhancement and change the price? I've also commented on the [[Shield Boomerang (4e Equipment)|Shield Boomerang]]. <br />
<br />
--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 11:30, 31 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:The enchantment bonus isn't just about magic, it's balanced against various other numbers in the base 4e system. Rewriting the whole maths of the system sounds like hard work. When I ran my 4e sci-fi campaign, I just called it a "tech bonus" instead. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 12:34, 31 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
:As an alternative, there are rules for "inherent bonuses" for campaigns without magic items. I'm not sure if that's a good idea here though, because a lot of the high-tech effects of your equipment will need something akin to magical enchantments. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 12:51, 31 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::All right. Thanks for explaining. I'll keep the minimum enhancement bonus.<br />
<br />
So, are you saying that most of my equipment needs something like magical enhancements in order for them to function?<br />
<br />
--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 13:52, 31 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:You can 1) reflavour it to "Tech bonus" and use magical enhancements as "high-tech mods", 2) Use an inherent bonus (see DMG 2 p 138) with mudane equipment only, 3) Rebalance the game (Gamma World is a good place to look.) [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 15:05, 31 March 2012 (MDT)<br />

== Request for semi protect ==<br />
If possible I would like to request semi protect for the [[Artificer (3.5e Class)]] page. Recent edits blatently overpowered it (granted they did give me a couple of ideas but 3 ideas in exchange for 10 minutes to fix it isn't a good trade off.) This will get people to either discuss it before hand or if they aren't logged in to actually talk before edits are made. [[User:Tivanir|Tivanir]] 07:27, 1 April 2012 (MDT)<br />

:I guess it does recognize the lowercase letters for the categories then. Okay. Make sure to use the correct wording on the creatures though. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 21:35, 9 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Although I added a message in the preload asking authors to correctly capitalize type, origin, etc - it's only an issue for the two-word "Magical Beast".

== New-Guy questions... ==<br />
<br />
What do the green and red numbers mean on my watch-list page? And if I have some 'house rules' as a DM for v.3.5 games, like slight modifications to races or classes, is there a way to put those on here without a) plagiarism, b) creating an entirely new page for a couple of small changes, or c) editing the original (clearly not an option)? Thanks for your help. [[User:Pyper|Pyper]] 7may12<br />
:Hi Pyper. The numbers indicate the change in the file size for that edit, so for example you adding your message to my talk page added (+424) bytes. If someone has made an edit that had reduced the file size of the page, it appears in red. It's a rough indication as to what kind of edit happened. A minor typo fix might be just +1 or -1. Substantial removal of text might be -1000 or more.<br />
:Minor variants of classes and races are at [[:3.5e Character Options]] (for example, [[:3.5e Alternate Class Features]]) - you only need to state what has changed rather than copying the whole race/class.<br />
:Editing the original might be okay if it's a homebrew rather than an SRD, it depends on what's being changed (if you're fixing something that seems unbalanced for example) [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 02:47, 8 May 2012 (MDT)<br />

Hey,<br />
:So, you did posted on my [[Recoil Rod (4e Equipment)|Recoil Rod]], but I don't know what's wrong with it. You say that it isn't 4e, but I don't see why not. Can you explain this? I also posted on the talk for [[Abyssal Marauder (4e Class)|Abyssal Marauder]].

<div>== Welcome to D&D Wiki! ==<br />
<br />
;Welcome!<br />
Hello {{PAGENAME}} and welcome to D&D Wiki. I hope you have been enjoying D&D Wiki and I hope you have been finding the information here useful. Before you start contributing it is recommended you make sure your [[Special:Preferences|user preferences]] match your preferences. I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well). Everything relating to admins can be found [[Meta Pages#Administration|here]].<br />
;Questions:<br />
If you have any questions about a specific page please ask it on that pages talk page. All other questions should be asked to another; user, admin, or me, the owner ([http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Green_Dragon&action=edit&section=new ask me a question]).<br />
;Formatting<br />
Formatting on D&D Wiki (or any wiki for that matter) can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Help:Editing] on Wikipedia (or even their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction Introduction] page). This will explain basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Again, if you have any questions about formatting on D&D Wiki please ask them as, I imagine, anybody will be more than happy to help you get them answered.<br />
;Community<br />
A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. Most discussions take place on content talk pages, however please feel free to ask specific D&D-related questions on [[DnD Discussion]]s. Anyway, possibly since discussions are never deleted, people try to be nice. This means follow Wikipedia's guidelines on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility civility] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etiquette etiquette] when discussing anything. Also, on a pretty different note, to ensure people know who posted what, please sign your name after a post with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) or by clicking on the signature icon ([[Image:Signature_icon.png]]). This will automatically produce your name and the date. Anyway, I hope you come to enjoy D&D Wiki and the community and welcome again, you are now a D&D Wikian. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:08, 30 May 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Few things ==<br />
<br />
First of all, you can sign your posts by hitting the button above the edit window, or else by adding four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).<br />
<br />
Secondly, make sure you are only adding content for which you are comfortable to have other people editing. Every time you edit a page there is a very clear warning that says "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I've noticed on many (all?) of your pages you have placed warnings saying "No one can edit this page", and that's simply not true. ''Anyone'' can edit your page, that's the whole point of a wiki.<br />
<br />
Hope that clears things up, [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 22:08, 2 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Is this a response to my Fell Knight 4e Power Request? Or is this for signiture on my creations?<br />
<br />
:Also, I really don't want anyone editing my stuff, because that's the way I want it to be. If someone says, "Hey, it looks unstable." And points out stuff, ''I'' will change it.<br />
<br />
:Thanks anyway though.<br />
:--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 22:20, 2 June 2010 (UTC)Axl<br />
<br />
::I just meant every time you write something on a talk page and want to sign it. If you use four tildes instead of manually typing "Axl", it will put a link to your userpage as well as the date and time of your post. It just makes it easier to follow later on.<br />
<br />
::As to someone editing your stuff, I see you asked Green Dragon. We'll see what he says, but the GNU license simply doesn't work that way. It doesn't matter if that's not what you want, unfortunately. Now it's proper etiquette to ask before you make significant changes, but you simply can't expect someone to ask you before changing *anything*.

:::::I'm going to chime in here to add something. While it's true anyone ''can'' edit anything, most users like to maintain some sense of ownership over their content. While this may be a false sense of ownership, it's usually respected. Few people will go in and edit your races or classes to make it what they want. If anyone has suggestions for content or balance they will likely just add a balance template or leave you a message on the discussion page. I wouldn't worry about people editing your content. I've uploaded some of my own work here and other people making edits has never been an issue. Plus, if they ever make drastic changes you don't like, there's always the revert button. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

==I'd like to hear from you==<br />
So you may or may not know this, but Dandwiki used to have an IRC chatroom where contributors could talk in real time and get help from one another. While the chatroom was eventually removed, I'm polling the community to see if we would like to have one again. Here is where you come in. If you have some time (it shouldn't take more than a few minutes), stop by [[Discussion:Re-opening_the_tavern%3F_What_does_the_community_think%3F|the discussion]] and post your thoughts.

::Also, don't just recreate pages if you created them with the wrong name. See up at the top that button that says "move"? Use that instead. And lastly, make sure that all of your pages have the right identifier on them. You recently created [[Minotaur Rage]], which should instead be [[Minotaur Rage (4e Power)]].

:--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 16:25, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::No, lol. A tag is the classifier after the name of the page. i.e. [[Knight (3.5e Class)]] where the (3.5e Class) would be the tag. Or [[Generating Ability Scores (3.5e Variant Rule)]] where the (3.5e Variant Rule) would be the tag. It should say what the tag is supposed to be when your naming the page in the box for the preload. Does that make sense? --[[User:Vrail|Vrail]] 16:54, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

::::::Actually, your "Future Equipment" page isn't in your sandbox. Like I said above, you want to include "User:Axl/" before the page name. So your sandbox became "User:Axl/My Sandbox" and your future weapons should become "User:Axl/Future Weapons" not "Future Weapons". It is important to get that sort of thing right, as we don't need any more half finished ideas on the wiki than we already have. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 19:02, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

:::::::I just went through and moved everything to where it belongs. Since you are making new pages often, you'll need to get this right. If you want your work to be in your sandbox, the link should be <nowiki> [[User:Axl/Page Name]] </nowiki> which will show up as [[User:Axl/Page Name]]. If you don't want to display "User:Axl" in front of everything, and I don't blame you, write your links like this: <nowiki> [[User:Axl/Page Name|Display Name]]</nowiki> and it will show up as a link that displays whatever you wrote, regardless of the actual page name.

== Your Sourcebook ==<br />
<br />
Alright, so you're writing a sourcebook for 4e future. Very Cool. However, you aren't doing it quite right. Every page in your Sourcebook needs to be a subpage of the main page, not a new page. What I mean is your sourcebook is named "DnD 4.0 Future" so the URL for that page should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)". The URL for your page "Introduction" should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction". Is that clear? You can still link them like any other page, by putting "DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction" in the double brackets. What you've done right now is made several random pages floating around the wiki that aren't where they belong. Let me know if you need any more help. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:(Groan). Okay. I'll just change all the links to fit the new page name. By the way, it's a 4e Sourcebook. Why's there the 3.5e Sourcebook thing?<br />
<br />
:--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 21:52, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

::I copied the URL from a 3.5e Sourcebook, and didn't think to change it. Yours should say 4e, not 3.5e. Sorry. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 22:01, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Fun fact of the day ==<br />
<br />
I don't know if you've realized this, but did you know that there's a move button up near the top of the page? This can be used to move an incorrectly-titled page to use the correct title. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 23:24, 16 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== 4e Equipment ==<br />
<br />
Since you asked Green Dragon, and I'm not sure if you watch his talk page I thought I'd let you know I've started working on some 4e preloads. here is the [[User_talk:Green_Dragon#Add_new_equipment.3F|link]]. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:09, 17 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Problems with your Sourcebook==<br />
Alright, so it seems you're having some trouble understanding what your sourcebook is, and what it isn't.<br />
# Your sourcebook is a complete set of variant rules and modifications to an existing DnD Edition (4e, in your case)<br />
# Your sourcebook is written by you. As this is a wiki others may contribute, but 99% of the work is yours.<br />
# Your sourcebook is still 4e. Because of this, all the equipment needs to be labeled (4e Equipment) not (4e Future Equipment). The same is true for Races, Classes, Powers, and whatever else you write.<br />
Ok then, now that we've cleared that up, here's what we have to do:<br />
#Every piece of equipment you wrote that is labeled (4e Future Equipment) needs to be '''moved''' to (4e Equipment). The same is true for all your races and classes and everything.<br />
#To have all your 4e Future equipment (and other things) kept together, you need to add a category at the bottom of each page that indicates that page belongs to your sourcebook.<br />
Hopefully all this makes sense, as it is important. If you don't understand anything here, you need to ask someone about it before you continue work on your sourcebook. I don't really want to help you with the grunt work of moving pages and whatnot, but I'd be willing to teach you how to do things, if you need me to. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 03:50, 20 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Tiered bonuses for racial powers ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, thanks for contacting me!<br />
<br />
I'll explain further. Attack powers usually have the Implement or Weapon keywords. Therefore they benefit from enchantment bonuses, and are ''expected'' to have an enchantment bonus at later levels. Furthermore, Weapon attacks will benefit from a proficiency bonus (although they normally target AC).<br />
<br />
Racial attack powers will most often ''not'' have the Implement or Weapon keywords (since they are inherent abilities) and therefore need some attack bonus to keep up with enchantment bonuses. For example, the Dragonborn's breath weapon has +2 at heroic, +4 at paragon, +6 at epic.<br />
<br />
So no, you don't ''have'' to have the tiered bonus, but don't expect the power to still be effective by late Heroic. I hope that this is useful for you, please contact me if you have any queries about my other comments. Thanks! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 10:24, 22 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Damage ''usually'' tiers too. Dragonborn's breath goes 1d6, 2d6, 3d6 for example. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 00:39, 28 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== sci fi ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, on the subject of your Future work, I wondered if you had read the new Gamma World? A while ago I was working on adapting a sci-fi 4e but abandoned it when I realized that using GW as a foundation was much better than D&D. It uses basically the 4e system with with more appropriate skills and damage types, and instead of race/class you mix and match two origins. Anyway :) Keep up the good work.

:No, I have not. If you want to contribute Gamma World to 4e Future, you can. :) Though, I have worked on a Racial Hybrid system. If you wanna check it out, it's [[User: Axl/My Sandbox/Racial Hybrid System|here]] --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 16:06, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />

<br />
Hi Axl, I've removed the Pumped sourcebook per your request. I'd like to remove the associated page [[Pumped Eldritch Giant (4e Race)]] too, since it's not really usable in normal 4e games. If you have any plans for it though I'll leave it. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 01:59, 3 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:No, you can remove it. It was meant for the Pumped sourcebook. So I'm guessing you're an admin on here, eh? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 12:12, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Future ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, I'm thinking of making a 4e sourcebook based on the arcade game [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Commando Captain Commando]]. I'll be basing this on a Gamma World type mechanics. Since you have an interest in all things Future you may be interested to see how this is done, and how it might be applied to your Future sourcebook. If you like the style, perhaps I can help you with your own articles. I'll let you know when I've done a few examples (may be a few weeks!) [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 03:52, 9 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:All right. I'll check up on it when you get some stuff in it. Most of my stuff is based off of either Megaman or Kirby, though, I'm going to take one race from Fire Emblem, the Laguz, and integrate it into the sourcebook. You'll see how it's integrated when I modify one of the races I built. Actually, I think I'll actually end up splitting it into several races. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 12:19, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
::I made a start at [[Future (4e Sourcebook)]]. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 13:00, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Okay, it seems to me like you're leaning towards D20 Modern (ten levels thing). Oh, I just went into your Origin link. Don't put (4e Future Origin). I was told not to do that. Just use (4e Origin). Might be a cool thing when more origins are put in. One question. How do you get more powers as you level up? Can you explain that in the sourcebook -or did I miss something?-? So with the origins, is it kinda like the tech tree from D20 Modern? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 13:49, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
::::Thanks for taking a look. The power progression is described at [[Future_(4e_Sourcebook)#Gaining Levels]] - At 1st level you should have 2 Novice Powers (usually two at-will attacks) and 1 Future Power (I haven't made any of those yet). By 10th level you have 2 Novice Powers, 2 Utility Powers, 2 Expert Powers and 3 Future Powers.<br />
::::I'm not familiar with d20 modern. The advantage of having a 10-level Origin is that they are much easier to create compared to D&D classes. I could try knocking out a few [http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Groups_and_Species Sonic] origins to see how that would work. I find the idea of mixing and matching concepts from lots of different games to be interesting.<br />
::::Also, I'm now regretting a bit calling mine "Future" as well. The intention was to be collaborative, I don't mean to appear competitive! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 02:05, 17 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::Ohhhh, okay! So that's how leveling up works. Thanks for explaining!<br />
<br />
:::::In mine, I was thinking about adding Halo armor (probably should put weapons in there too).<br />
<br />
:::::Nah, don't worry about calling yours "Future". It's all right. :) --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 20:34, 18 April 2012 (MDT)</div>Axlhttps://www.dandwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Twili_(4e_Race)&diff=560129Twili (4e Race)2012-04-16T18:33:21Z<p>Axl: </p>

Twili are tall people, even the females. They reach maturity when they're 20 years old. They have a white coloration on their skin with black on it. Their hair is either red or orange. They are usually thin, and their eyes can have a coloration of yellow, red, or orange. Royal Twili have only their irises the color of red, not their entire eyes. They also have one glowing blueish-green marking on their skin. They have longer features in places like their neck and limbs, being stretched more than a human's limbs and neck. They die at around 95 years of age.<br />

<div>== Welcome to D&D Wiki! ==<br />
<br />
;Welcome!<br />
Hello {{PAGENAME}} and welcome to D&D Wiki. I hope you have been enjoying D&D Wiki and I hope you have been finding the information here useful. Before you start contributing it is recommended you make sure your [[Special:Preferences|user preferences]] match your preferences. I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well). Everything relating to admins can be found [[Meta Pages#Administration|here]].<br />
;Questions:<br />
If you have any questions about a specific page please ask it on that pages talk page. All other questions should be asked to another; user, admin, or me, the owner ([http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Green_Dragon&action=edit&section=new ask me a question]).<br />
;Formatting<br />
Formatting on D&D Wiki (or any wiki for that matter) can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Help:Editing] on Wikipedia (or even their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction Introduction] page). This will explain basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Again, if you have any questions about formatting on D&D Wiki please ask them as, I imagine, anybody will be more than happy to help you get them answered.<br />
;Community<br />
A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. Most discussions take place on content talk pages, however please feel free to ask specific D&D-related questions on [[DnD Discussion]]s. Anyway, possibly since discussions are never deleted, people try to be nice. This means follow Wikipedia's guidelines on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility civility] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etiquette etiquette] when discussing anything. Also, on a pretty different note, to ensure people know who posted what, please sign your name after a post with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) or by clicking on the signature icon ([[Image:Signature_icon.png]]). This will automatically produce your name and the date. Anyway, I hope you come to enjoy D&D Wiki and the community and welcome again, you are now a D&D Wikian. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:08, 30 May 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Few things ==<br />
<br />
First of all, you can sign your posts by hitting the button above the edit window, or else by adding four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).<br />
<br />
Secondly, make sure you are only adding content for which you are comfortable to have other people editing. Every time you edit a page there is a very clear warning that says "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I've noticed on many (all?) of your pages you have placed warnings saying "No one can edit this page", and that's simply not true. ''Anyone'' can edit your page, that's the whole point of a wiki.<br />
<br />
Hope that clears things up, [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 22:08, 2 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Is this a response to my Fell Knight 4e Power Request? Or is this for signiture on my creations?<br />
<br />
:Also, I really don't want anyone editing my stuff, because that's the way I want it to be. If someone says, "Hey, it looks unstable." And points out stuff, ''I'' will change it.<br />
<br />
:Thanks anyway though.<br />
:--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 22:20, 2 June 2010 (UTC)Axl<br />
<br />
::I just meant every time you write something on a talk page and want to sign it. If you use four tildes instead of manually typing "Axl", it will put a link to your userpage as well as the date and time of your post. It just makes it easier to follow later on.<br />
<br />
::As to someone editing your stuff, I see you asked Green Dragon. We'll see what he says, but the GNU license simply doesn't work that way. It doesn't matter if that's not what you want, unfortunately. Now it's proper etiquette to ask before you make significant changes, but you simply can't expect someone to ask you before changing *anything*. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 23:13, 2 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::That kind of stinks. Oh well. Thanks anyway though. Thanks for showing me how to create a power list.<br />

<br />
:::::I'm going to chime in here to add something. While it's true anyone ''can'' edit anything, most users like to maintain some sense of ownership over their content. While this may be a false sense of ownership, it's usually respected. Few people will go in and edit your races or classes to make it what they want. If anyone has suggestions for content or balance they will likely just add a balance template or leave you a message on the discussion page. I wouldn't worry about people editing your content. I've uploaded some of my own work here and other people making edits has never been an issue. Plus, if they ever make drastic changes you don't like, there's always the revert button. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
::::::Hmm, how long have you been in D&D Wiki?<br />
::::::There's a revert button? Hmm, I'll have to check that out.<br />

:::::::I've been officially contributing (under my username) since August of 2009, but I was lurking and using content from here since about December of 08. When I write it out like that it doesn't seem like it's been very long, but I feel like I've been here forever. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:59, 3 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

Hey, can anyone tell me how I can add a secondary target onto a class power?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />
--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 01:50, 3 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Check out [[Template:4e_Power|this]]. It is the full template, with an example. It should be able to answer any of your questions. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 01:54, 3 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
:In short, add this: <br />
<code><br />
|secondarytarget=Secondary target for the power. Delete if it isn't used.<br />
|secondaryattack=Attack stat against the secondary target. Delete if it isn't used.<br />
|secondaryattackextra=<br />
|secondarydefense=Defense stat for the secondary target. Delete if it isn't used.<br />
|secondaryhit=What to do when the secondary attack hits.<br />
|secondarymiss=What to do when the secondary attack misses. Delete if it isn't used.<br />

Can anybody go to the [[Wolfkin (4e Race)| Wolfkin Race]] and see if the changes I made are okay? I made the power suited to 4th edition. It's the red one.<br />

==I'd like to hear from you==<br />
So you may or may not know this, but Dandwiki used to have an IRC chatroom where contributors could talk in real time and get help from one another. While the chatroom was eventually removed, I'm polling the community to see if we would like to have one again. Here is where you come in. If you have some time (it shouldn't take more than a few minutes), stop by [[Discussion:Re-opening_the_tavern%3F_What_does_the_community_think%3F|the discussion]] and post your thoughts. Thanks, [[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:49, 10 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

<br />
::Also, don't just recreate pages if you created them with the wrong name. See up at the top that button that says "move"? Use that instead. And lastly, make sure that all of your pages have the right identifier on them. You recently created [[Minotaur Rage]], which should instead be [[Minotaur Rage (4e Power)]]. I've cleaned up a ton of these so far; please be more careful in the future. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 11:43, 13 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Yeah, I knew about the 'move' button. I'll try to be more careful.<br />

--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 16:46, 14 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Your Sandbox ==<br />
<br />
Just a heads up, I'm gonna go ahead and move your sandbox to your namespace. For future reference, sandboxes should be made under your name, for instance "User:Axl/Sandbox". --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 05:43, 16 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

<br />
:::--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 16:24, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::Ok, here is an example table:<br />
<br />
::::{| class="{{d20}}"<br />
! rowspan="2" | 1st column <br />
! rowspan="2" | 2nd column<br />
! rowspan="2" | 3rd column<br />
|+<br />
|- class="{{Odd-Even|{{#var:odd}}}}"<br />
|1st row|| class="left" | 1st row|| 1st row<br />

::::You can just copy and paste that coding and change the text in each box. To add more columns put this text directly below the previous one:<br />
<br />
::::! rowspan="2" | column name<br />

::::Make sure to always close it with |} the line below. Does that all make sense? --[[User:Vrail|Vrail]] 17:14, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::If I just copy it and ... Whoa. That's a lot of stuff. Well, when I put it in something, I can always use it as a reference. Thanks!<br />
<br />
:::::--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 17:52, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::::Sorry, yeah, I completely forgot about this. I didn't come back to see if you had questions. I see Vrail answered your tables question. If you have any more questions about tables, my [[User:Badger/sandbox3|new user guide]] (as of about 3 minutes ago) has some info about how to make [[User:Badger/sandbox3/tables|tables]]. The guide also mentions how to work with sandboxes, and a few other things you may be interested in. Not everything is done yet, so if you have questions that aren't covered yet, don't hesitate to ask on my talk page. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 20:01, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Tags ==<br />
<br />
I've notice many of your recent pages have not been tagged, please use tags on all of your work. ''':)''' --[[User:Vrail|Vrail]] 01:09, 17 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Tags? you mean like {{<!-author->}}? Or do you mean {{<!-Copyright Disclaimer->}}?<br />
<br />
:--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 16:25, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::No, lol. A tag is the classifier after the name of the page. i.e. [[Knight (3.5e Class)]] where the (3.5e Class) would be the tag. Or [[Generating Ability Scores (3.5e Variant Rule)]] where the (3.5e Variant Rule) would be the tag. It should say what the tag is supposed to be when your naming the page in the box for the preload. Does that make sense? --[[User:Vrail|Vrail]] 16:54, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Yeah, that makes sense. Has that not been showing up? Actually, are you talking about the stuff in [[User:Axl/My Sandbox| my sandbox]]? Can you list the stuff that needs the tags?<br />
<br />
:::--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 17:40, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::Ya, I am talking about your sandbox. I realize that it's a sandbox and the stuff there is not actually on the wiki yet, but I'm just a little bit OCD about that stuff. ''':p''' However I'm sure it would be fine to leave it how it is seeing as it's just sandbox work. ''':)''' --[[User:Vrail|Vrail]] 17:54, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::Yeah, I'll fix that later. But thanks though.<br />
<br />
:::::--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 18:03, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::::Actually, your "Future Equipment" page isn't in your sandbox. Like I said above, you want to include "User:Axl/" before the page name. So your sandbox became "User:Axl/My Sandbox" and your future weapons should become "User:Axl/Future Weapons" not "Future Weapons". It is important to get that sort of thing right, as we don't need any more half finished ideas on the wiki than we already have. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 19:02, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::::I just went through and moved everything to where it belongs. Since you are making new pages often, you'll need to get this right. If you want your work to be in your sandbox, the link should be <nowiki> [[User:Axl/Page Name]] </nowiki> which will show up as [[User:Axl/Page Name]]. If you don't want to display "User:Axl" in front of everything, and I don't blame you, write your links like this: <nowiki> [[User:Axl/Page Name|Display Name]]</nowiki> and it will show up as a link that displays whatever you wrote, regardless of the actual page name. If you have any questions please ask before making another five pages that have to be moved, redirected, and then deleted. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 19:16, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Your Sourcebook ==<br />
<br />
Alright, so you're writing a sourcebook for 4e future. Very Cool. However, you aren't doing it quite right. Every page in your Sourcebook needs to be a subpage of the main page, not a new page. What I mean is your sourcebook is named "DnD 4.0 Future" so the URL for that page should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)". The URL for your page "Introduction" should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction". Is that clear? You can still link them like any other page, by putting "DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction" in the double brackets. What you've done right now is made several random pages floating around the wiki that aren't where they belong. Let me know if you need any more help. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:(Groan). Okay. I'll just change all the links to fit the new page name. By the way, it's a 4e Sourcebook. Why's there the 3.5e Sourcebook thing?<br />
<br />
:--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 21:52, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I copied the URL from a 3.5e Sourcebook, and didn't think to change it. Yours should say 4e, not 3.5e. Sorry. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 22:01, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::That's interesting that you got it from a 3.5e thing. Has someone else already done something with almost the exact same name as mine?<br />
<br />
:::--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 21:58, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::No, I just pulled the URL from Races of War (one of the most complete and perfect sourcebooks you'll come across) and changed the name, not the edition. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 22:01, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::Oh, okay. Are you doing anything currently? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 22:02, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::Never mind. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 22:13, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Fun fact of the day ==<br />
<br />
I don't know if you've realized this, but did you know that there's a move button up near the top of the page? This can be used to move an incorrectly-titled page to use the correct title. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 23:24, 16 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Okay, thanks! That actually helps me with something.<br />

== 4e Equipment ==<br />
<br />
Since you asked Green Dragon, and I'm not sure if you watch his talk page I thought I'd let you know I've started working on some 4e preloads. here is the [[User_talk:Green_Dragon#Add_new_equipment.3F|link]]. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:09, 17 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Problems with your Sourcebook==<br />
Alright, so it seems you're having some trouble understanding what your sourcebook is, and what it isn't.<br />
# Your sourcebook is a complete set of variant rules and modifications to an existing DnD Edition (4e, in your case)<br />
# Your sourcebook is written by you. As this is a wiki others may contribute, but 99% of the work is yours.<br />
# Your sourcebook is still 4e. Because of this, all the equipment needs to be labeled (4e Equipment) not (4e Future Equipment). The same is true for Races, Classes, Powers, and whatever else you write.<br />
Ok then, now that we've cleared that up, here's what we have to do:<br />
#Every piece of equipment you wrote that is labeled (4e Future Equipment) needs to be '''moved''' to (4e Equipment). The same is true for all your races and classes and everything.<br />
#To have all your 4e Future equipment (and other things) kept together, you need to add a category at the bottom of each page that indicates that page belongs to your sourcebook.<br />
Hopefully all this makes sense, as it is important. If you don't understand anything here, you need to ask someone about it before you continue work on your sourcebook. I don't really want to help you with the grunt work of moving pages and whatnot, but I'd be willing to teach you how to do things, if you need me to. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 03:50, 20 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Tiered bonuses for racial powers ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, thanks for contacting me!<br />
<br />
I'll explain further. Attack powers usually have the Implement or Weapon keywords. Therefore they benefit from enchantment bonuses, and are ''expected'' to have an enchantment bonus at later levels. Furthermore, Weapon attacks will benefit from a proficiency bonus (although they normally target AC).<br />
<br />
Racial attack powers will most often ''not'' have the Implement or Weapon keywords (since they are inherent abilities) and therefore need some attack bonus to keep up with enchantment bonuses. For example, the Dragonborn's breath weapon has +2 at heroic, +4 at paragon, +6 at epic.<br />
<br />
So no, you don't ''have'' to have the tiered bonus, but don't expect the power to still be effective by late Heroic. I hope that this is useful for you, please contact me if you have any queries about my other comments. Thanks! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 10:24, 22 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Damage ''usually'' tiers too. Dragonborn's breath goes 1d6, 2d6, 3d6 for example. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 00:39, 28 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== sci fi ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, on the subject of your Future work, I wondered if you had read the new Gamma World? A while ago I was working on adapting a sci-fi 4e but abandoned it when I realized that using GW as a foundation was much better than D&D. It uses basically the 4e system with with more appropriate skills and damage types, and instead of race/class you mix and match two origins. Anyway :) Keep up the good work. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 15:56, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:No, I have not. If you want to contribute Gamma World to 4e Future, you can. :) Though, I have worked on a Racial Hybrid system. If you wanna check it out, it's [[User: Axl/My Sandbox/Racial Hybrid System|here]] --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 16:06, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />

== pumped ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, I've removed the Pumped sourcebook per your request. I'd like to remove the associated page [[Pumped Eldritch Giant (4e Race)]] too, since it's not really usable in normal 4e games. If you have any plans for it though I'll leave it. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 01:59, 3 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:No, you can remove it. It was meant for the Pumped sourcebook. So I'm guessing you're an admin on here, eh? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 12:12, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Future ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, I'm thinking of making a 4e sourcebook based on the arcade game [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Commando Captain Commando]]. I'll be basing this on a Gamma World type mechanics. Since you have an interest in all things Future you may be interested to see how this is done, and how it might be applied to your Future sourcebook. If you like the style, perhaps I can help you with your own articles. I'll let you know when I've done a few examples (may be a few weeks!) [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 03:52, 9 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:All right. I'll check up on it when you get some stuff in it. Most of my stuff is based off of either Megaman or Kirby, though, I'm going to take one race from Fire Emblem, the Laguz, and integrate it into the sourcebook. You'll see how it's integrated when I modify one of the races I built. Actually, I think I'll actually end up splitting it into several races. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 12:19, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
::I made a start at [[Future (4e Sourcebook)]]. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 13:00, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Okay, it seems to me like you're leaning towards D20 Modern (ten levels thing). Oh, I just went into your Origin link. Don't put (4e Future Origin). I was told not to do that. Just use (4e Origin). Might be a cool thing when more origins are put in. One question. How do you get more powers as you level up? Can you explain that in the sourcebook -or did I miss something?-? So with the origins, is it kinda like the tech tree from D20 Modern? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 13:49, 14 April 2012 (MDT)</div>Axlhttps://www.dandwiki.com/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Axl&diff=559825User talk:Axl2012-04-14T18:19:25Z<p>Axl: /* Future */</p>

<div>== Welcome to D&D Wiki! ==<br />
<br />
;Welcome!<br />
Hello {{PAGENAME}} and welcome to D&D Wiki. I hope you have been enjoying D&D Wiki and I hope you have been finding the information here useful. Before you start contributing it is recommended you make sure your [[Special:Preferences|user preferences]] match your preferences. I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well). Everything relating to admins can be found [[Meta Pages#Administration|here]].<br />
;Questions:<br />
If you have any questions about a specific page please ask it on that pages talk page. All other questions should be asked to another; user, admin, or me, the owner ([http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Green_Dragon&action=edit&section=new ask me a question]).<br />
;Formatting<br />
Formatting on D&D Wiki (or any wiki for that matter) can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Help:Editing] on Wikipedia (or even their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction Introduction] page). This will explain basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Again, if you have any questions about formatting on D&D Wiki please ask them as, I imagine, anybody will be more than happy to help you get them answered.<br />
;Community<br />
A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. Most discussions take place on content talk pages, however please feel free to ask specific D&D-related questions on [[DnD Discussion]]s. Anyway, possibly since discussions are never deleted, people try to be nice. This means follow Wikipedia's guidelines on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility civility] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etiquette etiquette] when discussing anything. Also, on a pretty different note, to ensure people know who posted what, please sign your name after a post with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) or by clicking on the signature icon ([[Image:Signature_icon.png]]). This will automatically produce your name and the date. Anyway, I hope you come to enjoy D&D Wiki and the community and welcome again, you are now a D&D Wikian. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:08, 30 May 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Few things ==<br />
<br />
First of all, you can sign your posts by hitting the button above the edit window, or else by adding four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).<br />
<br />
Secondly, make sure you are only adding content for which you are comfortable to have other people editing. Every time you edit a page there is a very clear warning that says "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I've noticed on many (all?) of your pages you have placed warnings saying "No one can edit this page", and that's simply not true. ''Anyone'' can edit your page, that's the whole point of a wiki.<br />
<br />
Hope that clears things up, [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 22:08, 2 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Is this a response to my Fell Knight 4e Power Request? Or is this for signiture on my creations?<br />
<br />
:Also, I really don't want anyone editing my stuff, because that's the way I want it to be. If someone says, "Hey, it looks unstable." And points out stuff, ''I'' will change it.<br />
<br />
:Thanks anyway though.<br />

<br />
::I just meant every time you write something on a talk page and want to sign it. If you use four tildes instead of manually typing "Axl", it will put a link to your userpage as well as the date and time of your post. It just makes it easier to follow later on.<br />
<br />
::As to someone editing your stuff, I see you asked Green Dragon. We'll see what he says, but the GNU license simply doesn't work that way. It doesn't matter if that's not what you want, unfortunately. Now it's proper etiquette to ask before you make significant changes, but you simply can't expect someone to ask you before changing *anything*.

:::::I'm going to chime in here to add something. While it's true anyone ''can'' edit anything, most users like to maintain some sense of ownership over their content. While this may be a false sense of ownership, it's usually respected. Few people will go in and edit your races or classes to make it what they want. If anyone has suggestions for content or balance they will likely just add a balance template or leave you a message on the discussion page. I wouldn't worry about people editing your content. I've uploaded some of my own work here and other people making edits has never been an issue. Plus, if they ever make drastic changes you don't like, there's always the revert button. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Your Sourcebook ==<br />
<br />
Alright, so you're writing a sourcebook for 4e future. Very Cool. However, you aren't doing it quite right. Every page in your Sourcebook needs to be a subpage of the main page, not a new page. What I mean is your sourcebook is named "DnD 4.0 Future" so the URL for that page should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)". The URL for your page "Introduction" should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction". Is that clear? You can still link them like any other page, by putting "DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction" in the double brackets. What you've done right now is made several random pages floating around the wiki that aren't where they belong. Let me know if you need any more help. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:(Groan). Okay. I'll just change all the links to fit the new page name. By the way, it's a 4e Sourcebook. Why's there the 3.5e Sourcebook thing?<br />

== Fun fact of the day ==<br />

I don't know if you've realized this, but did you know that there's a move button up near the top of the page? This can be used to move an incorrectly-titled page to use the correct title. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 23:24, 16 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== 4e Equipment ==<br />
<br />
Since you asked Green Dragon, and I'm not sure if you watch his talk page I thought I'd let you know I've started working on some 4e preloads. here is the [[User_talk:Green_Dragon#Add_new_equipment.3F|link]]. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:09, 17 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Problems with your Sourcebook==<br />
Alright, so it seems you're having some trouble understanding what your sourcebook is, and what it isn't.<br />
# Your sourcebook is a complete set of variant rules and modifications to an existing DnD Edition (4e, in your case)<br />
# Your sourcebook is written by you. As this is a wiki others may contribute, but 99% of the work is yours.<br />
# Your sourcebook is still 4e. Because of this, all the equipment needs to be labeled (4e Equipment) not (4e Future Equipment). The same is true for Races, Classes, Powers, and whatever else you write.<br />
Ok then, now that we've cleared that up, here's what we have to do:<br />
#Every piece of equipment you wrote that is labeled (4e Future Equipment) needs to be '''moved''' to (4e Equipment). The same is true for all your races and classes and everything.<br />
#To have all your 4e Future equipment (and other things) kept together, you need to add a category at the bottom of each page that indicates that page belongs to your sourcebook.<br />
Hopefully all this makes sense, as it is important. If you don't understand anything here, you need to ask someone about it before you continue work on your sourcebook. I don't really want to help you with the grunt work of moving pages and whatnot, but I'd be willing to teach you how to do things, if you need me to. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 03:50, 20 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

Recently I nominated myself for adminship on the wiki. I don't want to sound like I'm advertising my nomination, however it has been three days without any support or oppose comments. I am just trying to get at least a few people to take notice and comment. My nomination may be found [[Requests for Adminship/Vrail|here]].

== Tiered bonuses for racial powers ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, thanks for contacting me!<br />
<br />
I'll explain further. Attack powers usually have the Implement or Weapon keywords. Therefore they benefit from enchantment bonuses, and are ''expected'' to have an enchantment bonus at later levels. Furthermore, Weapon attacks will benefit from a proficiency bonus (although they normally target AC).<br />
<br />
Racial attack powers will most often ''not'' have the Implement or Weapon keywords (since they are inherent abilities) and therefore need some attack bonus to keep up with enchantment bonuses. For example, the Dragonborn's breath weapon has +2 at heroic, +4 at paragon, +6 at epic.<br />
<br />
So no, you don't ''have'' to have the tiered bonus, but don't expect the power to still be effective by late Heroic. I hope that this is useful for you, please contact me if you have any queries about my other comments. Thanks! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 10:24, 22 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Damage ''usually'' tiers too. Dragonborn's breath goes 1d6, 2d6, 3d6 for example. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 00:39, 28 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
== sci fi ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, on the subject of your Future work, I wondered if you had read the new Gamma World? A while ago I was working on adapting a sci-fi 4e but abandoned it when I realized that using GW as a foundation was much better than D&D. It uses basically the 4e system with with more appropriate skills and damage types, and instead of race/class you mix and match two origins. Anyway :) Keep up the good work. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 15:56, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:No, I have not. If you want to contribute Gamma World to 4e Future, you can. :) Though, I have worked on a Racial Hybrid system. If you wanna check it out, it's [[User: Axl/My Sandbox/Racial Hybrid System|here]] --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 16:06, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />

== pumped ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, I've removed the Pumped sourcebook per your request. I'd like to remove the associated page [[Pumped Eldritch Giant (4e Race)]] too, since it's not really usable in normal 4e games. If you have any plans for it though I'll leave it. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 01:59, 3 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:No, you can remove it. It was meant for the Pumped sourcebook. So I'm guessing you're an admin on here, eh? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 12:12, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Future ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, I'm thinking of making a 4e sourcebook based on the arcade game [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Commando Captain Commando]]. I'll be basing this on a Gamma World type mechanics. Since you have an interest in all things Future you may be interested to see how this is done, and how it might be applied to your Future sourcebook. If you like the style, perhaps I can help you with your own articles. I'll let you know when I've done a few examples (may be a few weeks!) [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 03:52, 9 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:All right. I'll check up on it when you get some stuff in it. Most of my stuff is based off of either Megaman or Kirby, though, I'm going to take one race from Fire Emblem, the Laguz, and integrate it into the sourcebook. You'll see how it's integrated when I modify one of the races I built. Actually, I think I'll actually end up splitting it into several races. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 12:19, 14 April 2012 (MDT)</div>Axlhttps://www.dandwiki.com/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Axl&diff=559824User talk:Axl2012-04-14T18:12:01Z<p>Axl: /* pumped */</p>

<div>== Welcome to D&D Wiki! ==<br />
<br />
;Welcome!<br />
Hello {{PAGENAME}} and welcome to D&D Wiki. I hope you have been enjoying D&D Wiki and I hope you have been finding the information here useful. Before you start contributing it is recommended you make sure your [[Special:Preferences|user preferences]] match your preferences. I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well). Everything relating to admins can be found [[Meta Pages#Administration|here]].<br />
;Questions:<br />
If you have any questions about a specific page please ask it on that pages talk page. All other questions should be asked to another; user, admin, or me, the owner ([http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Green_Dragon&action=edit&section=new ask me a question]).<br />
;Formatting<br />
Formatting on D&D Wiki (or any wiki for that matter) can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Help:Editing] on Wikipedia (or even their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction Introduction] page). This will explain basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Again, if you have any questions about formatting on D&D Wiki please ask them as, I imagine, anybody will be more than happy to help you get them answered.<br />
;Community<br />
A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. Most discussions take place on content talk pages, however please feel free to ask specific D&D-related questions on [[DnD Discussion]]s. Anyway, possibly since discussions are never deleted, people try to be nice. This means follow Wikipedia's guidelines on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility civility] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etiquette etiquette] when discussing anything. Also, on a pretty different note, to ensure people know who posted what, please sign your name after a post with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) or by clicking on the signature icon ([[Image:Signature_icon.png]]). This will automatically produce your name and the date. Anyway, I hope you come to enjoy D&D Wiki and the community and welcome again, you are now a D&D Wikian. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:08, 30 May 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Few things ==<br />
<br />
First of all, you can sign your posts by hitting the button above the edit window, or else by adding four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).<br />
<br />
Secondly, make sure you are only adding content for which you are comfortable to have other people editing. Every time you edit a page there is a very clear warning that says "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I've noticed on many (all?) of your pages you have placed warnings saying "No one can edit this page", and that's simply not true. ''Anyone'' can edit your page, that's the whole point of a wiki.<br />
<br />
Hope that clears things up, [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 22:08, 2 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Is this a response to my Fell Knight 4e Power Request? Or is this for signiture on my creations?<br />
<br />
:Also, I really don't want anyone editing my stuff, because that's the way I want it to be. If someone says, "Hey, it looks unstable." And points out stuff, ''I'' will change it.<br />
<br />
:Thanks anyway though.<br />
:--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 22:20, 2 June 2010 (UTC)Axl<br />
<br />
::I just meant every time you write something on a talk page and want to sign it. If you use four tildes instead of manually typing "Axl", it will put a link to your userpage as well as the date and time of your post. It just makes it easier to follow later on.<br />
<br />
::As to someone editing your stuff, I see you asked Green Dragon. We'll see what he says, but the GNU license simply doesn't work that way. It doesn't matter if that's not what you want, unfortunately. Now it's proper etiquette to ask before you make significant changes, but you simply can't expect someone to ask you before changing *anything*.

:::::I'm going to chime in here to add something. While it's true anyone ''can'' edit anything, most users like to maintain some sense of ownership over their content. While this may be a false sense of ownership, it's usually respected. Few people will go in and edit your races or classes to make it what they want. If anyone has suggestions for content or balance they will likely just add a balance template or leave you a message on the discussion page. I wouldn't worry about people editing your content. I've uploaded some of my own work here and other people making edits has never been an issue. Plus, if they ever make drastic changes you don't like, there's always the revert button. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Your Sourcebook ==<br />
<br />
Alright, so you're writing a sourcebook for 4e future. Very Cool. However, you aren't doing it quite right. Every page in your Sourcebook needs to be a subpage of the main page, not a new page. What I mean is your sourcebook is named "DnD 4.0 Future" so the URL for that page should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)". The URL for your page "Introduction" should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction". Is that clear? You can still link them like any other page, by putting "DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction" in the double brackets. What you've done right now is made several random pages floating around the wiki that aren't where they belong. Let me know if you need any more help. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:(Groan). Okay. I'll just change all the links to fit the new page name. By the way, it's a 4e Sourcebook. Why's there the 3.5e Sourcebook thing?<br />

# Your sourcebook is written by you. As this is a wiki others may contribute, but 99% of the work is yours.<br />
# Your sourcebook is still 4e. Because of this, all the equipment needs to be labeled (4e Equipment) not (4e Future Equipment). The same is true for Races, Classes, Powers, and whatever else you write.<br />
Ok then, now that we've cleared that up, here's what we have to do:<br />
#Every piece of equipment you wrote that is labeled (4e Future Equipment) needs to be '''moved''' to (4e Equipment). The same is true for all your races and classes and everything.<br />
#To have all your 4e Future equipment (and other things) kept together, you need to add a category at the bottom of each page that indicates that page belongs to your sourcebook.<br />
Hopefully all this makes sense, as it is important. If you don't understand anything here, you need to ask someone about it before you continue work on your sourcebook. I don't really want to help you with the grunt work of moving pages and whatnot, but I'd be willing to teach you how to do things, if you need me to. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 03:50, 20 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Tiered bonuses for racial powers ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, thanks for contacting me!<br />
<br />
I'll explain further. Attack powers usually have the Implement or Weapon keywords. Therefore they benefit from enchantment bonuses, and are ''expected'' to have an enchantment bonus at later levels. Furthermore, Weapon attacks will benefit from a proficiency bonus (although they normally target AC).<br />
<br />
Racial attack powers will most often ''not'' have the Implement or Weapon keywords (since they are inherent abilities) and therefore need some attack bonus to keep up with enchantment bonuses. For example, the Dragonborn's breath weapon has +2 at heroic, +4 at paragon, +6 at epic.<br />
<br />
So no, you don't ''have'' to have the tiered bonus, but don't expect the power to still be effective by late Heroic. I hope that this is useful for you, please contact me if you have any queries about my other comments. Thanks! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 10:24, 22 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Damage ''usually'' tiers too. Dragonborn's breath goes 1d6, 2d6, 3d6 for example. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 00:39, 28 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== sci fi ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, on the subject of your Future work, I wondered if you had read the new Gamma World? A while ago I was working on adapting a sci-fi 4e but abandoned it when I realized that using GW as a foundation was much better than D&D. It uses basically the 4e system with with more appropriate skills and damage types, and instead of race/class you mix and match two origins. Anyway :) Keep up the good work. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 15:56, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:No, I have not. If you want to contribute Gamma World to 4e Future, you can. :) Though, I have worked on a Racial Hybrid system. If you wanna check it out, it's [[User: Axl/My Sandbox/Racial Hybrid System|here]] --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 16:06, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />

<br />
Hi Axl, I've removed the Pumped sourcebook per your request. I'd like to remove the associated page [[Pumped Eldritch Giant (4e Race)]] too, since it's not really usable in normal 4e games. If you have any plans for it though I'll leave it. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 01:59, 3 April 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:No, you can remove it. It was meant for the Pumped sourcebook. So I'm guessing you're an admin on here, eh? --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 12:12, 14 April 2012 (MDT)<br />

== Future ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, I'm thinking of making a 4e sourcebook based on the arcade game [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Commando Captain Commando]]. I'll be basing this on a Gamma World type mechanics. Since you have an interest in all things Future you may be interested to see how this is done, and how it might be applied to your Future sourcebook. If you like the style, perhaps I can help you with your own articles. I'll let you know when I've done a few examples (may be a few weeks!)

<div>== Welcome to D&D Wiki! == <br />
<br />
;Welcome!<br />
Hello {{PAGENAME}}, and welcome to D&D Wiki. I hope you have been enjoying this site, and I hope you have been finding the information here on D&D Wiki useful. I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well) here on D&D Wiki along with a couple other people who make up "The Face" of D&D Wiki. An entire list of admins can be found [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Special:Listusers/sysop|limit=5000}} here].<br />
;Questions:<br />
If you have any question about D&D Wiki, D&D, formatting on D&D Wiki, what day today is, or whatever, an admin will, many times, give the best answer. Please feel free to ask any admin any question ([http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Green_Dragon&action=edit&section=new ask me a question!]).<br />
;Formatting<br />
Formatting on D&D Wiki (or any wiki for that matter) can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Help:Editing] on Wikipedia (or even their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction Introduction] page). This will explain the basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Again, if you have any questions about formatting on D&D Wiki please ask them as, I imagine, anybody will be more than happy to help you get them answered.<br />
;Community<br />
A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. Most discussions take place on content talk pages, however please feel free to walk into [[Special:TheTavern|The Tavern]] (our local chat room) and talk to some fellow D&D Wikians. Anyway, on D&D Wiki, possibly since discussions are never deleted, people try to be nice. This means please follow Wikipedia's guidelines on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility Civility] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etiquette Etiquette] when discussing anything. And, if an argument does arise, please use Wikipedia's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution Dispute Resolution] to make sure everyone comes out happy. Also, on a pretty different note, to ensure people know who posted what, please sign your name after a post with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) or by clicking on the signature icon. [[Image:Signature_icon.png]] This will automatically produce your name and the date. Anyway, I hope you come to love the close-knit D&D Wiki community and welcome again, you are now a D&D Wikian. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 09:54, 6 November 2008 (MST)<br />

Concerning your comments on traps, the DMG says that traps can indeed be Solo. The Soul Gem is the only example provided, but the text indicates that they should be complex and require a skill challenge in order to defeat. Minion traps are difficult for me to imageine. When i think of minions, i think "one-hit-kill", and traps cannot be killed, in the traditional sense. One way you might make them "miniony" is to make their damamge (if any) constant; such as 5 fire damage rather than 1d10 fire damage, or similar. Otherwise, they might as well just be easier traps or have several of them compose a larger trap? I know i've seen a trap with several pressure plates and points of danger. Hope this helps, albiet perhaps a little late in coming. [[User:Techpriest|Techpriest]] 17:05, 3 October 2009 (MDT)<br />
:Hah, here is your belated reply. I think that the effects of "minion traps" would be so minor, that they could instead be treated as a terrain effect. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 15:14, 8 July 2011 (MDT)<br />

Um, this has nothing to do with welcoming you, but in response to what you sent me on my talk page, I posted a response there, and I decided to post it here too.Well, here goes:<br />

I hope you like this idea, but I'm open to suggestions. You'll notice I didn't include part of the goblin race. It's the part that's hardest for me, so I thought you could come up with that.Until next time, --Korinn 16:07, 27 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Hi. Try "+2 Dexterity, +2 Charisma or +2 Constitution". Goblins don't strike me as being particularly diplomatic. Taunt allows the player to move all the enemies on the field, three times a round, every round, every encounter. It could be modified into an encounter power that only taunts one enemy. Jump should be an Immediate Reaction, and a level 2 (or higher) racial utility power. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 01:46, 29 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus Topics (Race, Feats, Powers, etc) ==<br />
<br />
Hello Marasmusine, <br />
<br />
As I read on your user talk page here you are interested in improving and expanding all user created races and their relative content, and I am exceptionally glad you contacted me via [[User talk:Argent Fatalis|my user talk page]] regarding the content I am developing. I have little experience with D&D and have but a few fragments of what is mixed 4e and 3.5e (and I believe even earlier content like 3e) in my possession. However, I have several concepts and ideas that I would like to see played out and experimented with. Many of the balance issues come from lack of experience, or from design ideals with the [[Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Maioribus race]], such as a philosophy of equilibrium, where some aspects such as magic are exchanged for greater, and more natural melee prowess, along side ideals of sacrifice; playing a Large creature alone seems to come with reasonable and expected penalty, but a Quadruped on top of this offers even greater weaknesses, and benefits, be them game mechanics and more importantly, roleplaying encounters.<br />
<br />
Seeing as you are much more well versed in D&D than I, I again appreciate your notification and appropriate flagging of the pages in question. I would like to ask for your assistance in discussion and refinement of both the Sentient Smilodon as a race, but also aid with its inherent mechanical issues (Large quadrupedal Beast, lack of conventional weapons, magical void), to create a powerful, yet well balanced race that differs from the normal format.<br />
<br />
--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] 13:08, 11 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
Hello again Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
Thank you for your [[User talk:Argent Fatalis|quick reply]] to my message here on your talk page. Hoping that I might better be able to supply general concepts and ideals for the Sentient Smilodon as a race to you, I have [[Talk:Talk:Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|edited the talk page for the race]]. Regarding the changes, I absolutely not mind any edits made if they could be discussed with myself, primarily for the reasoning that I would like to know what is considered "in bounds" and or what the issue is as a learning exercise. I have absolutely no issues with commentary, critique, modification and the like, but would rather avoid having to completely reformat functions in the future. That said, I believe many of the issues of balance (such as Mortal Bite and Maim) come from my lack of understanding of 4e scaling, and in some part, miscommunication and, given the raw amount of information I've crafted thus far, some English failures or sentences not worded correctly. I hope that on the Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus' talk page that I've better explained things that may not have been clear, worded poorly, or are just not obvious. For example, Darkvision seems to be convoluted in the area of true "night vision" and "pitch black vision", where in the case of Maioribus, it is simply the ability to see with minimal light, but function normally in day time, typical of other felines.<br />
<br />
A "Design Declaimer" I believe is a must, as the whole idea, while I believe would be just fine to any party, I admit is certainly not for everyone, and I make numerous references to Dungeon Master discretion for exceptions within the talk page information, which could lead to significant problems in some scenarios, so caution is absolutely advised.<br />
<br />
There are indeed images of the closest relative to this otherwise fictional creature, in the actual (but now extinct) ''Smilodon populator'', along with its relatives including the famous ''Smilodon fatalis''. I can certainly acquire a picture.<br />
<br />
--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] 15:35, 11 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
Hello Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
I noted you made mention of a possibility of a Race-Class restriction in the [[Talk:Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Smilodon Maioribus talk page]], where certain Powers (and some Feats) could be disassociated from Racial restrictions and implemented into a specific class, in order to solve major mechanical flaws, such as weapons, armor, Power damage, Feat scaling, etc. This idea had come to me in earlier times, but I was unsure as to the rules regarding the idea of making Maioribus limited to one (or a handful) of Race specific classes, which would have the specific features (outside of explicitly racial, such as Large, Quadruped, Beast, etc) contained within them. Is this reasonable possibility? While I can believe some users who may review the race will be disappointed, I equally believe a Disclaimer could be included stating that the race may not function well for all 4e Campaigns, and that it would be up to a Dungeon Master's decision if he or she would allow the Greater Smilodon race, and additionally, deviation from its specific Class-Race type(s), so as not to rule out possibility.<br />
<br />
With this, I again appreciate your assistance and patience with the construction, refinement, balancing and ultimate publishing of [[Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Smilodon Maioribus]] on the Dungeons and Dragons Wiki.<br />
<br />
--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] 12:53, 12 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
Hello Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
I've made several adjustments to the [[Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Smilodon Maioribus page]] including the addition of the Race-Class and its functions, such as Setup, Feral Challenge, and the migration of Hemorrhaging Wounds and Mortal Bite to that area. I would like your opinion on its current status and possible approval should it seem solid and well rounded before we progress to modifying the Racial Feats (and ultimately creating Class Feats). One of the former Racial Feats, [[Intensity (4e Feat)|Intensity]] has been modified accordingly to 4e Standards (instead of using 3e and 3.5e).<br />
<br />
When possible, if you could re-review the entirety of the Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus race to see if I missed any details or if it includes portions that are no longer applicable. Thank you for your continued assistance, Marasmusine.<br />
<br />
--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] 10:13, 16 January 2012 (MST)<br />

Hello Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
As I write this I must inform you that I have been called to duty, starting this Monday, January 23rd 2012, and thus will be out of contact for some time, likely several months. I write this message to you to express my sincerest thanks for your astounding efforts in not only editing and improving all of the 4e content, but namely my personal projects, which you extended your assistance too in full. I truly and honestly thank you for this, and hope that you continue to provide support in this manner to others, like me, who may come and wish to participate on the D&D Wiki.<br />
<br />
With my topic of Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus now on hold for several months, as I will likely have limited access to the Internet, I give you permission to edit it, keeping in the spirit of its design and overall feeling, as you see fit. I hope that if you choose to do so, that you find great success and satisfaction in doing so. I will certainly return as soon as possible, and wish to speak with you again in the future.<br />

:Yes, and you are asked to. I tried to make the wording on the [[Template:Reviewing Template]] understandable in this regard.

It's so tempting sometimes, you know what I mean? Imagine it - being able to report spam just by adding <nowiki>{{spam}}</nowiki> to the page, and have all the details filled in automatically.

== Adminship ==<br />
<br />
Welcome to Adminship. You are now part of "The Face" of D&D Wiki. You have more burden on yourself now that you are an admin because users will be looking at you for editing help, knowledge about pages, etc. Make sure to familiarize yourself with [[Meta Pages]] to help address this burden. I recommend you take a look at [[Special:ListGroupRights]] if you have not already. Some of the the new feature's uses follow. You can now delete pages, protect pages, rollback edits, block users and IP's, edit every page, patrol edits, and do a couple more minor things.<br />
* Deleting pages is normally done through [[:Category:Candidates for Deletion]]. Anything with a good reason to be deleted on that page should be deleted. Other times pages should be deleted is in the case of vandalism, spam, or even when someone makes a page and after a few edits they either blank the page or replace it with something like "Please delete this". If this page consisted of close to just the preload it is fine to just delete it.<br />
* Protecting pages has quite a few different times when it should be used. Pages should be protected according to the author's wishes (with [[Template:Locked Page]] added to the top of the page in question), in case of conflict (with [[Template:Temp Locked Page]] added to the top of the page in question), in case of [[Help:FAQ#What are OGL, OGC, SRD, and GNU FPL?|OGC]] published materials (with [[Template:OGL Top]] added to the top of the page in question and [[Template:OGL Bottom]] added to the bottom), or finally if the page is a vital part of D&D Wiki's organization. Also, if it deals with D&D Wiki's organization the page needs to be protected. For Example [[3.5e Homebrew]] is protected from all non-sysop edits whereas a different page like [[LA 0 Races]] is only protected from IP edits. No template needs to be added to pages if they are part of D&D Wiki's organization (even though some do exist like [[Template:Admin Locked Page]])<br />
* Blocking a user or IP should be used with respect to [[Meta Pages#Policies|policy]]. To block someone just click "block" (found on [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]], the diff in question, the userpage, etc) and fill out the corresponding form. For a typical vandalism attack I normally block the user for two weeks. Certain things demand a longer block and others a shorter. No standards have been set for block lengths so use your best judgment.<br />
* Editing every page on D&D Wiki mostly means you can now edit the [[SRD:System Reference Document|SRD]] and the [[MSRD:Modern System Reference Document|MSRD]]. Feel free to edit them if inaccuracies are found. If interested further please look at the [[SRD Talk:System Reference Document#SRD ToDo List|SRD ToDO List]] or the [[MSRD Talk:Modern System Reference Document#Tasks|MSRD tasks]]; I am sure your help will be appreciated.<br />
Now that you are an admin I would say more burden is placed on you, but I really hope you enjoy being an admin and I hope you decide to stay around on D&D Wiki for a while more to come.

== Deletion ==<br />
<br />
When deleting pages "''Only author requests deletion''", and similar reasonings, are meaningless. Anyone can request that any page gets deleted. The main contributor (what you are using the word author to mean) does get a say, but like anyone main contributors can be wrong. Just be careful, and use the page as the base not the contributors.<br />
<br />
In addition please remember to delete the talk pages of every page you delete. If the page gets restored the talk page will get restored as well. Likewise, if the page gets deleted so does the talk page. Also after deleting a page remember to check "What links here". If anything links to the deleted page it needs to be addressed; by removing the link, striking it though, etc. Looks good though! --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 09:55, 29 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Make sure to be mindful and check "What links here". For example, [http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Nestor_%28DnD_Deity%29 Nestoy (DnD Deity)] was missed. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 15:27, 21 March 2012 (MDT)<br />

<br />
==An apology==<br />
Okay, listen. I can't say I'm sorry for what I did, because I don't know what it was. But I know I've missed being part of the community these last few weeks. But when you did that to me, when you said I was spamming, that hurt, Marasmusine. You know how I feel about spam, and how I've proudly fought against it. I regret the rift that formed between us, and eventually resulted in what you did to me. I believed in your honesty, and your integrity, and above all your honor. But then you did a thing to me that shattered all that, and I never even got to know the real reason behind it. That is what I truly regret, the loss of the friendship I thought we shared. All I'm asking is that you just give me a second chance. I don't want to go. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 13:05, 11 March 2012 (MST)<br />
:I've replied on your talk page, I'm very sorry for this unintended mistake. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 13:47, 11 March 2012 (MDT)<br />

== [[Frozen Castle (4e Equipment)|Frozen Castle]] ==<br />
<br />
Okay, so I've looked at the Frozen Castle armor. Remember, I'm dealing in the future. Unless there's a campaign change where they include magic, there isn't magic. This is connected to my D&D 4.0 Future sourcebook. So could I take off the minimum enhancement and change the price? I've also commented on the [[Shield Boomerang (4e Equipment)|Shield Boomerang]]. <br />
<br />
--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 11:30, 31 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:The enchantment bonus isn't just about magic, it's balanced against various other numbers in the base 4e system. Rewriting the whole maths of the system sounds like hard work. When I ran my 4e sci-fi campaign, I just called it a "tech bonus" instead. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 12:34, 31 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
:As an alternative, there are rules for "inherent bonuses" for campaigns without magic items. I'm not sure if that's a good idea here though, because a lot of the high-tech effects of your equipment will need something akin to magical enchantments. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 12:51, 31 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::All right. Thanks for explaining. I'll keep the minimum enhancement bonus.<br />
<br />
So, are you saying that most of my equipment needs something like magical enhancements in order for them to function?<br />

<div>== Welcome to D&D Wiki! == <br />
<br />
;Welcome!<br />
Hello {{PAGENAME}}, and welcome to D&D Wiki. I hope you have been enjoying this site, and I hope you have been finding the information here on D&D Wiki useful. I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well) here on D&D Wiki along with a couple other people who make up "The Face" of D&D Wiki. An entire list of admins can be found [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Special:Listusers/sysop|limit=5000}} here].<br />
;Questions:<br />
If you have any question about D&D Wiki, D&D, formatting on D&D Wiki, what day today is, or whatever, an admin will, many times, give the best answer. Please feel free to ask any admin any question ([http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Green_Dragon&action=edit&section=new ask me a question!]).<br />
;Formatting<br />
Formatting on D&D Wiki (or any wiki for that matter) can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Help:Editing] on Wikipedia (or even their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction Introduction] page). This will explain the basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Again, if you have any questions about formatting on D&D Wiki please ask them as, I imagine, anybody will be more than happy to help you get them answered.<br />
;Community<br />
A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. Most discussions take place on content talk pages, however please feel free to walk into [[Special:TheTavern|The Tavern]] (our local chat room) and talk to some fellow D&D Wikians. Anyway, on D&D Wiki, possibly since discussions are never deleted, people try to be nice. This means please follow Wikipedia's guidelines on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility Civility] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etiquette Etiquette] when discussing anything. And, if an argument does arise, please use Wikipedia's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution Dispute Resolution] to make sure everyone comes out happy. Also, on a pretty different note, to ensure people know who posted what, please sign your name after a post with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) or by clicking on the signature icon. [[Image:Signature_icon.png]] This will automatically produce your name and the date. Anyway, I hope you come to love the close-knit D&D Wiki community and welcome again, you are now a D&D Wikian. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 09:54, 6 November 2008 (MST)<br />

Concerning your comments on traps, the DMG says that traps can indeed be Solo. The Soul Gem is the only example provided, but the text indicates that they should be complex and require a skill challenge in order to defeat. Minion traps are difficult for me to imageine. When i think of minions, i think "one-hit-kill", and traps cannot be killed, in the traditional sense. One way you might make them "miniony" is to make their damamge (if any) constant; such as 5 fire damage rather than 1d10 fire damage, or similar. Otherwise, they might as well just be easier traps or have several of them compose a larger trap? I know i've seen a trap with several pressure plates and points of danger. Hope this helps, albiet perhaps a little late in coming. [[User:Techpriest|Techpriest]] 17:05, 3 October 2009 (MDT)<br />
:Hah, here is your belated reply. I think that the effects of "minion traps" would be so minor, that they could instead be treated as a terrain effect. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 15:14, 8 July 2011 (MDT)<br />

Um, this has nothing to do with welcoming you, but in response to what you sent me on my talk page, I posted a response there, and I decided to post it here too.Well, here goes:<br />

I hope you like this idea, but I'm open to suggestions. You'll notice I didn't include part of the goblin race. It's the part that's hardest for me, so I thought you could come up with that.Until next time, --Korinn 16:07, 27 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Hi. Try "+2 Dexterity, +2 Charisma or +2 Constitution". Goblins don't strike me as being particularly diplomatic. Taunt allows the player to move all the enemies on the field, three times a round, every round, every encounter. It could be modified into an encounter power that only taunts one enemy. Jump should be an Immediate Reaction, and a level 2 (or higher) racial utility power. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 01:46, 29 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== Comment ==<br />
<br />
I noticed your comment on [[Arcane Tank (4e Optimized Character Build)]] about how that table looked like it does not belong in 4e. I actually made that table based off the 4e tables in the books, however any advice or comments you have about that table would be appreciated so I can improve it. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 14:55, 28 December 2011 (MST)<br />

== Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus Topics (Race, Feats, Powers, etc) ==<br />
<br />
Hello Marasmusine, <br />
<br />
As I read on your user talk page here you are interested in improving and expanding all user created races and their relative content, and I am exceptionally glad you contacted me via [[User talk:Argent Fatalis|my user talk page]] regarding the content I am developing. I have little experience with D&D and have but a few fragments of what is mixed 4e and 3.5e (and I believe even earlier content like 3e) in my possession. However, I have several concepts and ideas that I would like to see played out and experimented with. Many of the balance issues come from lack of experience, or from design ideals with the [[Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Maioribus race]], such as a philosophy of equilibrium, where some aspects such as magic are exchanged for greater, and more natural melee prowess, along side ideals of sacrifice; playing a Large creature alone seems to come with reasonable and expected penalty, but a Quadruped on top of this offers even greater weaknesses, and benefits, be them game mechanics and more importantly, roleplaying encounters.<br />
<br />
Seeing as you are much more well versed in D&D than I, I again appreciate your notification and appropriate flagging of the pages in question. I would like to ask for your assistance in discussion and refinement of both the Sentient Smilodon as a race, but also aid with its inherent mechanical issues (Large quadrupedal Beast, lack of conventional weapons, magical void), to create a powerful, yet well balanced race that differs from the normal format.<br />
<br />
--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] 13:08, 11 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
Hello again Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
Thank you for your [[User talk:Argent Fatalis|quick reply]] to my message here on your talk page. Hoping that I might better be able to supply general concepts and ideals for the Sentient Smilodon as a race to you, I have [[Talk:Talk:Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|edited the talk page for the race]]. Regarding the changes, I absolutely not mind any edits made if they could be discussed with myself, primarily for the reasoning that I would like to know what is considered "in bounds" and or what the issue is as a learning exercise. I have absolutely no issues with commentary, critique, modification and the like, but would rather avoid having to completely reformat functions in the future. That said, I believe many of the issues of balance (such as Mortal Bite and Maim) come from my lack of understanding of 4e scaling, and in some part, miscommunication and, given the raw amount of information I've crafted thus far, some English failures or sentences not worded correctly. I hope that on the Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus' talk page that I've better explained things that may not have been clear, worded poorly, or are just not obvious. For example, Darkvision seems to be convoluted in the area of true "night vision" and "pitch black vision", where in the case of Maioribus, it is simply the ability to see with minimal light, but function normally in day time, typical of other felines.<br />
<br />
A "Design Declaimer" I believe is a must, as the whole idea, while I believe would be just fine to any party, I admit is certainly not for everyone, and I make numerous references to Dungeon Master discretion for exceptions within the talk page information, which could lead to significant problems in some scenarios, so caution is absolutely advised.<br />
<br />
There are indeed images of the closest relative to this otherwise fictional creature, in the actual (but now extinct) ''Smilodon populator'', along with its relatives including the famous ''Smilodon fatalis''. I can certainly acquire a picture.<br />
<br />
--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] 15:35, 11 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
Hello Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
I noted you made mention of a possibility of a Race-Class restriction in the [[Talk:Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Smilodon Maioribus talk page]], where certain Powers (and some Feats) could be disassociated from Racial restrictions and implemented into a specific class, in order to solve major mechanical flaws, such as weapons, armor, Power damage, Feat scaling, etc. This idea had come to me in earlier times, but I was unsure as to the rules regarding the idea of making Maioribus limited to one (or a handful) of Race specific classes, which would have the specific features (outside of explicitly racial, such as Large, Quadruped, Beast, etc) contained within them. Is this reasonable possibility? While I can believe some users who may review the race will be disappointed, I equally believe a Disclaimer could be included stating that the race may not function well for all 4e Campaigns, and that it would be up to a Dungeon Master's decision if he or she would allow the Greater Smilodon race, and additionally, deviation from its specific Class-Race type(s), so as not to rule out possibility.<br />
<br />
With this, I again appreciate your assistance and patience with the construction, refinement, balancing and ultimate publishing of [[Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Smilodon Maioribus]] on the Dungeons and Dragons Wiki.<br />
<br />
--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] 12:53, 12 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
Hello Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
I've made several adjustments to the [[Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Smilodon Maioribus page]] including the addition of the Race-Class and its functions, such as Setup, Feral Challenge, and the migration of Hemorrhaging Wounds and Mortal Bite to that area. I would like your opinion on its current status and possible approval should it seem solid and well rounded before we progress to modifying the Racial Feats (and ultimately creating Class Feats). One of the former Racial Feats, [[Intensity (4e Feat)|Intensity]] has been modified accordingly to 4e Standards (instead of using 3e and 3.5e).<br />
<br />
When possible, if you could re-review the entirety of the Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus race to see if I missed any details or if it includes portions that are no longer applicable. Thank you for your continued assistance, Marasmusine.<br />
<br />
--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] 10:13, 16 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
Hello Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
As I write this I must inform you that I have been called to duty, starting this Monday, January 23rd 2012, and thus will be out of contact for some time, likely several months. I write this message to you to express my sincerest thanks for your astounding efforts in not only editing and improving all of the 4e content, but namely my personal projects, which you extended your assistance too in full. I truly and honestly thank you for this, and hope that you continue to provide support in this manner to others, like me, who may come and wish to participate on the D&D Wiki.<br />
<br />
With my topic of Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus now on hold for several months, as I will likely have limited access to the Internet, I give you permission to edit it, keeping in the spirit of its design and overall feeling, as you see fit. I hope that if you choose to do so, that you find great success and satisfaction in doing so. I will certainly return as soon as possible, and wish to speak with you again in the future.<br />
<br />
With best regards and thanks,<br />

:Hi Silkverkin, I'm flattered that you think that I might know! I can't see any formal review request system, so can only suggest the main talk page, or asking individual editors. I'd be happy to look at it myself, although it's been a few years since I've played 3.5 so I may not be able to suggest much. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 10:57, 22 January 2012 (MST)<br />
::I suppose I could ask Green Dragon about it, to be sure. If there isn't one already, maybe we (the wiki as a whole) should start one.

== Post Review ==<br />
<br />
Hey. First off, thanks for helping me balance my 4e race. But I'm just wondering, after I get everything fixed, can I remove that notice on my own and put it back into the 'races without improving template' section on my own? Or should I wait for someone to give the changes a once over first? --[[User:Fortis|Fortis]] 23:23, 27 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Yes, and you are asked to. I tried to make the wording on the [[Template:Reviewing Template]] understandable in this regard. For example, it says "''When the mechanics have been changed so that this template is no longer applicable please remove this template.''" Do you find this wording clear? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 00:23, 28 January 2012 (MST)<br />

<br />
== spam template ==<br />
It's so tempting sometimes, you know what I mean? Imagine it - being able to report spam just by adding <nowiki>{{spam}}</nowiki> to the page, and have all the details filled in automatically. So simple, so elegant... and yet so not worth the time it would take to actually create such a thing. <br />

:I've done a little digging and apparently spammers have found an exploit in reCaptcha that allows their spambots through about 40% of the time, hence the increase in spam from January onwards.

Welcome to Adminship. You are now part of "The Face" of D&D Wiki. You have more burden on yourself now that you are an admin because users will be looking at you for editing help, knowledge about pages, etc. Make sure to familiarize yourself with [[Meta Pages]] to help address this burden. I recommend you take a look at [[Special:ListGroupRights]] if you have not already. Some of the the new feature's uses follow. You can now delete pages, protect pages, rollback edits, block users and IP's, edit every page, patrol edits, and do a couple more minor things.<br />
* Deleting pages is normally done through [[:Category:Candidates for Deletion]]. Anything with a good reason to be deleted on that page should be deleted. Other times pages should be deleted is in the case of vandalism, spam, or even when someone makes a page and after a few edits they either blank the page or replace it with something like "Please delete this". If this page consisted of close to just the preload it is fine to just delete it.<br />
* Protecting pages has quite a few different times when it should be used. Pages should be protected according to the author's wishes (with [[Template:Locked Page]] added to the top of the page in question), in case of conflict (with [[Template:Temp Locked Page]] added to the top of the page in question), in case of [[Help:FAQ#What are OGL, OGC, SRD, and GNU FPL?|OGC]] published materials (with [[Template:OGL Top]] added to the top of the page in question and [[Template:OGL Bottom]] added to the bottom), or finally if the page is a vital part of D&D Wiki's organization. Also, if it deals with D&D Wiki's organization the page needs to be protected. For Example [[3.5e Homebrew]] is protected from all non-sysop edits whereas a different page like [[LA 0 Races]] is only protected from IP edits. No template needs to be added to pages if they are part of D&D Wiki's organization (even though some do exist like [[Template:Admin Locked Page]])<br />
* Blocking a user or IP should be used with respect to [[Meta Pages#Policies|policy]]. To block someone just click "block" (found on [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]], the diff in question, the userpage, etc) and fill out the corresponding form. For a typical vandalism attack I normally block the user for two weeks. Certain things demand a longer block and others a shorter. No standards have been set for block lengths so use your best judgment.<br />
* Editing every page on D&D Wiki mostly means you can now edit the [[SRD:System Reference Document|SRD]] and the [[MSRD:Modern System Reference Document|MSRD]]. Feel free to edit them if inaccuracies are found. If interested further please look at the [[SRD Talk:System Reference Document#SRD ToDo List|SRD ToDO List]] or the [[MSRD Talk:Modern System Reference Document#Tasks|MSRD tasks]]; I am sure your help will be appreciated.<br />
Now that you are an admin I would say more burden is placed on you, but I really hope you enjoy being an admin and I hope you decide to stay around on D&D Wiki for a while more to come. Welcome to Adminship. Again, you're now part of "The Face" of D&D Wiki. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 09:17, 28 February 2012 (MST)<br />
:Congratulations! You've earned it. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 12:54, 28 February 2012 (MST)<br />
::Thanks for your support guys, I look forward to improving and maintaining the wiki. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 13:38, 28 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
Congratulatoins! I have no dout that you'll be an awesome Admin.--[[User:Viziton|Viziton]] 11:39, 29 February 2012 (MST)<br />

== Deletion ==<br />
<br />
When deleting pages "''Only author requests deletion''", and similar reasonings, are meaningless. Anyone can request that any page gets deleted. The main contributor (what you are using the word author to mean) does get a say, but like anyone main contributors can be wrong. Just be careful, and use the page as the base not the contributors.<br />
<br />
In addition please remember to delete the talk pages of every page you delete. If the page gets restored the talk page will get restored as well. Likewise, if the page gets deleted so does the talk page. Also after deleting a page remember to check "What links here". If anything links to the deleted page it needs to be addressed; by removing the link, striking it though, etc. Looks good though! --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 09:55, 29 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Make sure to be mindful and check "What links here". For example, [http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Nestor_%28DnD_Deity%29 Nestoy (DnD Deity)] was missed. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 15:27, 21 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
::Sorry, that was clumsy of me. It won't happen again. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 16:08, 21 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
==An apology==<br />
Okay, listen. I can't say I'm sorry for what I did, because I don't know what it was. But I know I've missed being part of the community these last few weeks. But when you did that to me, when you said I was spamming, that hurt, Marasmusine. You know how I feel about spam, and how I've proudly fought against it. I regret the rift that formed between us, and eventually resulted in what you did to me. I believed in your honesty, and your integrity, and above all your honor. But then you did a thing to me that shattered all that, and I never even got to know the real reason behind it. That is what I truly regret, the loss of the friendship I thought we shared. All I'm asking is that you just give me a second chance. I don't want to go. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 13:05, 11 March 2012 (MST)<br />
:I've replied on your talk page, I'm very sorry for this unintended mistake. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 13:47, 11 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Don't worry about it. I already kinda knew that it was a mistake, but I couldn't pass up the chance to be all dramatic about it. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 14:28, 11 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
:::You son of a gun :) [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 14:52, 11 March 2012 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== [[Frozen Castle (4e Equipment)|Frozen Castle]] ==<br />
<br />
Okay, so I've looked at the Frozen Castle armor. Remember, I'm dealing in the future. Unless there's a campaign change where they include magic, there isn't magic. This is connected to my D&D 4.0 Future sourcebook. So could I take off the minimum enhancement and change the price? I've also commented on the [[Shield Boomerang (4e Equipment)|Shield Boomerang]]. <br />

I have created a few classes, and I would very much appreciate if you could rate them for me. The classes are Mime (3.5e Class) and Soldier (3.5e Class), and Dragoon (by RDC) (3.5 PrC). <br />

== 4 Edition Summaries ==<br />
<br />
Long time no see. I was wondering if I am allowed to put small summaries of the 4 edition races in my Campaign's races page. It would be name, size, stat bonus and racial features.<br />
<br />
I am asking because the races I want to put in are rather small, and it seems strange to just have a couple of things on one page. The official 4 edition races would be for comparison. [[Celen Joad]] 11:05, 13 January 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Of course. The official races, however, you can't add. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:21, 28 January 2011 (MST)<br />

Can Giants wield Medium weapons? Also, Giants aren't readly accepted into society (they kinda have a bad reputation).

== Meaning of Meaningful Gestures? ==<br />
<br />
Was reading [[Catgirl,_Domestic_(3.5e_Race)|Catgirls]], and was a tad jarred by the "Meaningful gesture" section under [[Catgirl,_Domestic_(3.5e_Race)#Names|Names]]. Without any explanations given for these gestures, is this meant to be presented as a "Interpret as you will" type listing, or was this something that was going to be expanded upon further? Using known data about real-life felines and fictional Japanese catgirls as a starting point, I have compiled a very extensive list of different Body Language messages which we use for a local Catgirl character, which you are more than welcome to use if you wish. I'll be watching this page for a response. {{Unsigned|96.229.186.168|07:39, 8 February 2011 (UTC)}}<br />

== Just another new guy asking around... ==<br />
<br />
SO I've been told about the treasure trove of optional ideas that have been continuing the sprit of 3.5 by my newest D&D group and after a (strangely lucid) dream I came up with the following:<br />
<br />
Spell Slayer<br />
<br />
This +3 crystalline Mage Bane Longsword when wielded by a spell caster on impact allows the caster to make a DC 30 Spellcraft check.<br />
On a successful check the sword ether casts vampiric touch (as caster level 6, max 3 times per combat) OR, if the target is a spellcaster it <br />
steals one (1) random spell. Spells stolen this way are stored until the end of combat and are dispelled afterwards. A caster with the Arcane<br />
Strike feat may sacrifice spells stolen in this manner for the bonuses provided by the feat. (For cost see Holy Avenger)<br />
<br />
<br />
Crystalline Weapon property<br />
<br />
This material is primarily used to make weapons for and against spellcasters. It provides an additional (stacks with magical bonuses) equipment <br />
bonus +1 to hit and damage versus targets with magical abilities or properties (supernatural abilities or uncast spells are examples of this). <br />
In addition it provides a +1 to caster level for all spellcasters wielding or possessing such a weapon, hafted weapons do not confer the caster level bonus. All weapons crafted from Crystalline are considered master work. (For cost see Adamantine)<br />
<br />
Now I don't want to post anything retardedly over powered up on the site (like some of the things I have seen/heard) and would like some advice before I throw it up on the site since I haven't seen a forum section (yet).<br />
<br />
<br />
:The best way to get things looked at is to just take the plunge and create the page. If it is retardedly over-powered, people will tell you.

:Classes for which edition? Any of the "create" boxes will use the correct preload if you use them, giving direction for the class. The preloads (some are listed [[Help:Standards and Formatting (DnD Guideline)#Preloads|here]]) should tell you what the class is. As everything is different in nature, telling you how something should be created is not possible. Of course guidelines exist, and [[DnD Guidelines]] may help you. Most things are balanced off similar things and, as mentioned above, if something is retardedly overpowered people will tell you. Does this help?

How can i create a Template for some of the pages????? i notice when i create a new creature that there is already typing on the white screen when you create a creature... i know that is a template... but how do i create my own template myself???? i need to make some of the templates for the other links, like: Deities, Equipment, Spells, Races, Class, and the others, so that when people create a page, then the right information will already be on the screen and all they have to do is create the page.... do you understand what i am saying???? please reply back on my user talk page... thx!!!

== 3.5e Campaign Setting Teoryran ==<br />
<br />
How can improve my Teoryran Setting. How can I create classes for Teoryran with the same name but different from existing classes of the same name? I am making a new system. Where all base classes are racial and status based on:<br />
<br />
* Each race have four subraces for peasants, nobles, priests and a variable fourth.<br />
* Each subrace have a class<br />
* Each social caste have classes based on them.<br />
<br />
Noble orcs can be samurai and noble humans can be knights. Human and orc serfs can be scoundrels, thiefs or conscriped soldiers. There will be different classes for priests and monks than for nobility. "Big changes" include:<br />
<br />
* only racial classes gives hp<br />
* carrier classes doesn't give HP<br />
* gold is removed<br />
<br />
--[[User:Klas|Klas Wullt]], 01:42 13 May 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:For the pages with the same name you include ", Teoryran". For example "Orc, Teoryran (3.5e Race)". For the subraces you include their subrace after the comma (much like the SRD elves). For example "Orc, Teoryran Peasant (3.5e Race)". The classes can then, of course, be their favored class. If it is the fighter, for example, it would be "Fighter, Teoryran (3.5e Class)" and/or "Fighter, Teoryran Peasant (3.5e Class)". For the game mechanic changes you may have to make a [[3.5e Rules|rule]] or include it some way.

== 3.5e Equipment List - new category (Page editing locked) ==<br />
<br />
Hi Green,<br />
<br />
I'm a new user to Wiki & would appreciate some helpful advice :-)<br />
<br />
Going to start a new D&D campaign this year with a Pirate theme. When people think of Pirates, thier main thoughts are Pirate Ships, Cannons, Flintlock Pistols & Cutlasses.<br />
<br />
Flintlock's can easily be replaced with Hand Crossbow's, Cannons needed some more thought.<br />
<br />
I do not want to introduce gunpowder into the campaign so as an alternative i've decided to go with Gnomish Engineering and introduce some clockwork & steampowered machinery (Steampunk) resulting in Steam Cannon's aboard ships<br />
<br />
Decided the 3.5e equipment list therefore needs a new category of Gnome Engineering, a place for all things clockwork, steampowered or basic engineering (i.e. Piston Water Pumps)<br />
<br />
I don't think this technolgy would change game balance as there are many ancient technologies that have been rediscovered such as the Baghdad Battery & Eygptian Piston Ballista<br />
<br />
Created the Gnome Engineering category but can not link this category to the 3.5e Equipment list, as this page is locked for editing (for very good reasons, looks complicated)<br />
<br />
Are you able to help?<br />

So, I was browsing through the recent talk page (as I often do), and I was confused by your recent actions on the talk page of the Economist. Care to elaborate? It seemed like someone asked a question on the discussion, and Jota responded with an answer to the question. You deleted the reply, and gave no reason as to why. Someone (a random IP) then went and undid you revert, presumably because you removed helpful and useful content without a reason. You blocked him for 3 months for edit warring, despite him only having a single contribution to the wiki. What happened to warnings? What happened to the increasing block length? Effectively, you banned someone from the wiki for 3 months because they undid one of your edits, which you made without any reason at all.

::::Interesting, but D&D Wiki is not going to have a committee of people who are a self-appointed oligarchy who serve the same function as the [[Meta Pages#Improving, Reviewing, and Removing Articles|improving, reviewing, and removing articles templates]] present. Additionally things on D&D Wiki cannot be stagnant, and things should improve when they can (e.g. user categories being replaced by [[Special:NewPages]], [[Template:Author]] being superseded by history, etc). For example. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:26, 24 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::GD, no one is telling you to change policy about reviewing content, or anything else of that ilk. Jazzman merely said, and I agree, that we should be allowed to say things exist. We have countless links to other forums and sites that host homebrew content, it seems foolish to block people for mentioning one in particular, no matter the history. We can all act like adults and just let it be. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 22:40, 24 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::Links are supposed to do though [[DnD Links]]. All other links are incorrect. However, as I see it, on userpages is okay as long as when one notices it they move it to DnD Links, because to me that seems more like the user is unaware or unknowing. However spamming of external links, yes, does get one banned. Does this kind of answer your question? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 23:59, 24 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::So, by your own admission, Jota and everyone else can post links to their other wikis on their user page, but not in the main namespace? Seems fair to me. I'll go ahead and add links to [[DnD Links]]. I'll assume users can still write something like "If you have any other questions, leave a message on my talk page", where they can post links to other sites (as you said yourself, user pages are fine for external links). Alright, sounds good. I'm glad we've finally come to some sort of agreement on this. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 01:05, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::No, that's taking it out of context. "on userpages is okay as long as when one notices it they move it to DnD Links" should be read as a full statement. Otherwise it's still a violation of policy. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:24, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::You're telling me that there shouldn't be any external links on User Pages then? I was under the impression that if they were also listed on DnD Links, that would be fine. Sometimes you'd want to give a more specific link, like say one to a particular article. The way you've phrased it, it seems like there should be no external links anywhere but on that DnD Links page. That doesn't make any sense at all. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 13:50, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::Well, maybe something like the w: could be made (as a template) for each link. Really, however, one should just direct one to [[DnD Links]] (that's why they are <tt><nowiki>{{#anc:}}</nowiki></tt>'ed). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 13:41, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::I understand what you're saying. I'm saying why make someone go to DnD Links, and then search the other site, when you could just as easily link to the exact page in the first place? DnD Links is certainly a good page, and designed for ease of reference, but I think it works best as a general tool, and for specific purposes one might as well link directly from one page to another, without using DnD Links. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 13:50, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
<-- Again, why? Can someone give me a reason why we are never allowed to link to other sites? I'm just not seeing the reasoning here other than to annex The Site Which Shall Not Be Named, and even that I can't see any good reasoning for. [[User:Hooper|Hooper]] is allowed to link to [[O.G.R.E.]] (which has it's own wiki page, btw; we aren't even allowed to ''mention'' the Other Wiki) with no repercussions, but an anon who undid an outright deletion of a post that vaguely mentions That Other Wiki was banned, without warning, for 3 months. Did they murder your favorite pet or something? Will the site really blow up if I decide to link to some innocent site that doesn't happen to me mentioned on DnD Links (which, judging by the traffic on that page, nobody looks at anyway)?<br />
<br />
Sadly, I've seen this exact same scenario on wikis before: site 1 does something that subset of the site doesn't like. Said subset creates their own wiki. Wiki 1 bans mentions of Wiki 2. Wiki 2 uses this as reasoning to orchestrate more and bigger attacks against Wiki 1. As the bickering continues both sites end up looking silly and losing who would otherwise be valuable members. The more we block them the more they will do things like [[Special:Contributions/Bird|Bird]] did, which are ultimately more harmful to the site than anything the users would do if we just played nice with them. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 15:40, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:So, should we do something like w: then? Currently, [[User:Hooper|Hooper]] should not be linking to any site not by way of [[DnD Links]]. I'm just following policy, be it fledgling or not. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 16:00, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::I don't know what w: means. What I want to do is allow people to link to other sites without having to go through DND links first. If that's what w: is then yes, we should do that.<br />
<br />
::If Hooper's not allowed to link to these sites, then do you want to clean out his userpage and delete [[O.G.R.E.]]? Because I can't see the reason for it. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 17:03, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Ironically, the best description I know of for the events that transpired is on the other wiki. A bunch of people decided to make a "rating committee". GD didn't like it. There was a bunch of silly squabbling, and the other wiki left, taking a ton of content and users with them. GD and everyone else were upset about who took what content, and the legality of that. Honestly, in my mind, this is the sort of thing that, after a week, could have blown over. Clearly we just need to share a beer, play some D&D, and realize how silly this fight is. Also, start allowing each other to link to each other's wikis. I can't speak with any certainty, but I am pretty sure they allow links to this wiki. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 15:58, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Go for it. I don't really want to do any cleaning out of userpages right now&ndash; I'm working on [[4e Deities]] as it is. I agree this is silly, however if links really are needed then someone (again, I don't care to do this) should make something like how [[Template:Background Information (Halo Supplement)]] treats links for each link. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:11, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::I'm not going to delete [[O.G.R.E.]] because it doesn't bother me and I don't understand why it's not allowed. I don't want to go angering Hooper, who's contributions are numerous and high-quality, if I don't have to. If you have time to block people for mentioning one site, I'm not sure why you are too busy to block people for mentioning another site. So how about instead we just allow everyone to link to sites?<br />
<br />
:::And if all we have to do in order to link to D&D wiki (err, the *other* one, anyway) is to create a template, then that's a piece of cake. Heck, I can make one that works even ''better'' than the one you linked to. Now everyone's happy! [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 17:45, 25 May 2011 (MDT) (BTW Green Dragon, I think you are having problems with your browser. For some reason when you edit it deletes parts of the page on accident).<br />
<br />
::::I'm not entirely sure why we need a template, especially one that would go at the bottom of the page like you linked. Maybe one at the top of the talk page? But, what would the template say, "This page contains external links. DanDWiki does not have any affiliation with any externally linked sites. Links do no necessarily reflect the views of DanDWiki and its owners"? --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 20:06, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::That's a good idea. And it could incorporate the switch extension. I just meant "like how [[Template:Background Information (Halo Supplement)]] treats links". --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 20:29, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::How about this:<br />

| '''This page contains external links.'''<br/><small>D&D Wiki does not have any affiliation with any externally linked sites. <br> Links do no necessarily reflect the views of D&D Wiki</small><br />
|}<br />
<br />
::::::It makes no sense to have a template for individual sites, or even as a way to include the link in the template. If it pleases the wiki, we can just make a <nowiki>{{template:external_link}}</nowiki> and go from there. Throw this up on a page, and we can have external links anywhere we want. Problem solved. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 20:56, 25 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::I don't like how obtrusive that is. I would prefer something much less obtrusive, comparable to an expansion of the MW external link symbol. For example: <nowiki>[www.address.{{{1}}}] ([[DnD Links#site|link information]]</nowiki> [[File:Externallink.png|12px]] this external link does not have any affiliation with D&D Wiki) And, I would prefer having a hard list of sites because as the internet is full of sites with varying degrees of quality it is good to have some quality control over how it effects D&D Wiki. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:35, 26 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::Ok, well, considering that external links already have an associated image (or at least a symbol), why don't you just include a line of text below the edit window (by which I mean below the line "You are also promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a public domain or similar free resource. Do not submit copyrighted work without permission!") that says something to the effect of "Links to external sites must be deemed appropriate; inappropriate links subject to removal. See [[DnD Links]] for list of appropriate links." and we'll just say any page or subpage of a link on the DnD Links page can be freely linked to. I think the problem with including a template in this process is that we already have a ton of templates that we don't use because they are confusing or hard to find. Considering there is already a button for external links, we might as well use that. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 12:18, 26 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::What are your thoughts on just making a [[Meta Pages#Policies|policy]] which covers it and then adding text on [[DnD Links]] explaining it's function. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:27, 26 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::That sounds like the best possible plan. We allow external links, add a line in the policy about external links, and a brief summary about what should and should not be linked on the DnD links page. I'm glad we've finally come to some sort of agreement, and don't require the use of templates or other things that may be confusing to new users. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 19:35, 26 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::I just wanted to comment on something said much earlier. It was ''"Note, however, that it's only one site that gets people insta-blocked for a quarter. Other sites get mentioned without such severe penalties. In one case, I can think of a site that's mentioned multiple times that nobody seems to have any problem with..."''. Not true. I literally was blocked on [http://dungeons.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=&year=&month=-1 September 20th, 2009] after making four edits to that wiki - one redirecting a talk page to me, and three asking for a diff in a respectful manner. The block summary even stated some harsh thing. Don't pretend that one wiki is a white knight in this issue. I still don't understand why people won't just stay at their chosen wiki home, and ignore the other. ''(also, I only added the actual link because I'm understanding its now okay on talk pages? If thats not so delete it. I'm honestly having a hard time following.)''<br />
:::::::::::Now, as far as O.G.R.E.s is concerned. It is my understanding, and perhaps I am wrong in this understanding, that long ago it was decided not to link to "competing sites". OGREs may be another wiki ''(for now, but when our webmaster isn't paid, things take time)'' but it isn't a competing site. We're not looking for the same kind of content. Now maybe I'm wrong, and if so, delete it. But in my opinion, the D&D Other section is perfect for articles discussing the different gaming organizations and may be very pertinent to the common D&D Wiki browser's interest. &nbsp;<small><span style="border: 1px solid black; -moz-border-radius:10px">[[User:Hooper|'''<span style="background-color:White; color:Black; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px"> Hooper </span>''']][[User talk:Hooper|<span style="background-color:Black; color:white; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px">&nbsp;&nbsp;talk&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Hooper|<span style="background-color:black; color:white">&nbsp;&nbsp;contribs&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>]][[Special:Emailuser/Hooper|<span style="background-color:black; color:white; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:10px; -moz-border-radius-topright:10px">&nbsp;&nbsp;email&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>]]</span></small> 21:35, 29 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::::Even if they did block you, that's not really a good reason to insta-block ''them''. Simply linking to that site isn't, in and of itself, a legitimate reason in my mind to block someone for ''3 months'', especially considering the specific case we were talking about. (Let's face it, were it anyone but GD, we might have thought the original reversion was vandalism; it is only because we saw his name beside it that we know it wasn't).<br />
<br />
::::::::::::As for O.G.R.E, I don't actually think it should be deleted, just as I don't think links to the other wiki should be deleted. But as far as I can tell, there's no differentiation between what links we are allowed to link to. Under the current rules as written, if we insta-ban people for mentioning one, it's completely hypocritical to pretend links to the other don't even exist. I'm not actually arguing that we enforce the rules against all sites, I think we need to change the rule entirely. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 22:05, 29 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::::What's an instablock? The block was for edit warring, see also [http://www.dandwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3A63.23.72.173]. It's unrelated. I have no idea about O.G.R.E.. Is it on [[DnD Links]]? Has it been looked over? If it's anything like your video channel (which I have seen) then i'd be fine. Of course this discussion is for elsewhere. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:11, 29 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::::::[http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/216.66.140.248 This] is an insta-block. A user's very first ever edit was a reversion of unexplained deletion of Jota's response. The guy can't be accused of edit warring when there were (liberally) only 2 reverts, only one of which was this guy a participant. If we go by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:3RR#The_three-revert_rule WP:3RR], it's not a revert war until one editor does ''three'' reverts in a 24-hour period. That editor hadn't even had three ''edits''. (The IP you linked to, by the way, only had 2 reverts, and was never even given a warning before he was blocked for 3 months.) Not only that, but had an IP or a new user deleted Jota's comment without explanation, the reversion of said deletion would probably be given exception from the 3RR, because to all appearances, deleting someone else's talk page comments is usually itself vandalism. Adding them back almost never is. At worst, the two IPs should have been given an explanation of how what they were doing was not allowed, a warning to discontinue their actions, and ''maybe'' blocked for a day to cool down.

== hello ==<br />
<br />
I have almost finnished 3/8 planned racial caste races.<br />
Please have a look at the Human noble and human peasant <br />
and Ork noble races.<br />
Links are found at Teoryran info about Races.<br />
<br />
The race pages are to big, <br />
any suggestions of how to cut them up and<br />
sort them in different sections?<br />
<br />
== hi ==<br />
<br />
Mmm, well I needed the pages sorted after supplement.<br />
I needed to put lots of class and race descriptions of personality, the world<br />
and their lands somewhere else.<br />

:What do you mean? [[Races of Teoryran (Teoryran World Supplement)]] is understandable. It is missing its footer though. Is that what you mean? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 19:52, 26 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
Yes; sorry for being unclear.<br />
I Lack footers and I am unsure where to put my classes<br />
if they are not exactly base classes either?<br />
Variant rules?<br />
Should I greate a new page for racial classes?<br />
Or are they paragon classes?<br />
I am worried that some of the pages about info for the setting<br />
lack addresses and take up extra memory.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hello.<br />
We need a racial class category like that from Savage Species.<br />
Savage Species offers levels all the way up<br />
and they don’t just raise abilities at level 3.<br />
Can I make a suppliment page<br />
where I have my own classess,<br />
I might do it, you can delete if its improper.<br />
I would like some criticism for my classes.<br />
<br />
:I imagine what you are talking about should work as a [[3.5e Racial Paragon Classes|racial paragon class]] with a specific [[3.5e Races|race]] made for it. Though you may want to mention that you are using the monster class rules from [[Savage Species]]. If they are not racial paragon classes then yes, you should make a [[3.5e Rules|rule]] about them and link them from there. Don't worry about taking up space. It's of no concern. Does this help? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 12:29, 13 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:It does help alot, I think I prefere the combo Savage Species+ Paragon. and have started to work on it.Now my problem lies with what features to distribute.But aren't there any category where you can submit Savage Species Monster classes? Paragon classes, mostly allows you to reduce the weaknesses of a race, as I see it anyway, while monster classes sort of build the race from zero and up.The attempt to create different "races" for aristocrats and commoners,end up making them very similar except that commoners gets penalties the nobles don't.I have a dozen ideas, and edit back and forth.Still, if you took a look at these I made,you can se specific balancing is a problem.<br />

== Edit Revert? ==<br />
<br />
Why did you revert my edit on [[Talk:DnD Links]]? I didn't break any of your rules and, furthermore, I contributed to the discussion. You shouldn't just censor things because you don't agree with them... --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 13:44, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Because it's not adding anything new to the discussion. It's not pertinent, see also the reason. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 13:49, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::"Because it's not adding anything new to the discussion."<br />
::False. I gave an illustration of how GNU (and similarly GPL) actually works in practice and showed that the emphasis on the licenses was initially for code libraries/projects. That emphasis is a very important distinction because it provides more basis for the argument I'm making. This also provides some historical context for my argument.<br />
::I brought up how MySQL's licensing can be seen as a parallel example (actually I could have brought up Wikipedia too -- how do you think they transitioned from GPL 1.2 to GPL 1.3? Relicensing.).<br />
<br />
::"It's not pertinent, see also the reason."<br />
::Your reason is a complete strawman argument. ie. You are attacking an argument I didn't even make. Let's examine the exact "reason" you gave:<br />
::"wrong - there is no section 11 clause to the GNU FDL v1.2 (that's the whole -i think- MSQL legal dilema)"<br />
::Now go back to what I wrote. Did I write ''anything'' about section 11? No. In fact, earlier I already explained that section 11 does not apply in this case because this wiki is under GNU FDL 1.2 (the exact thing I said was "Anon, you are actually incorrect, unfortunately. This wiki uses GNU FDL 1.2 and no licenses can just suddenly retroactively patch a previous license.", see the context).<br />
::Also, you "think" that is the whole "MSQL legal dilema", but I never even said that this has anything to do at all with MySQL's legal dilemma. I was strictly comparing the fact that MySQL was able to transition to a dual license to authorship as a concept.<br />
::And, just to be a bit cheeky: you censored a well-written post meant to explain in detail my stance in a discussion. The whole point of that post was because you clearly were not responding intelligibly to what I had written earlier, so it seemed necessary to go into more detail. That's a pretty standard thing in a discussion. Elaborating on a point when the other party doesn't seem to understand.<br />
::What I'd like to hear is how you think authorship and licensing actually works. All you've done is say that others are wrong, but you have yet to provide any evidence to back up your claims. --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 14:10, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::It may not even be MySQL I am referring to. There is a conglomerate of companies which has a problem with previous GNU FDL licensing and now it is uncertain who owns their things. Since they used section 11 and did some version changing and things, they now have this problem. Last I saw one had to give over some billion worth in rights to the other or something along those lines. <br />
:::It just doesn't matter how people use the GNU FDL v1.2. Who cares? We go by the license and law, and that is the discussion (mostly). What the GNU FDL has been used for is not.<br />
:::I have said repeatedly that like Wikipedia's terms of use, law is. Of course things like licenses are interchangeable. What's not to read? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 14:28, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::"There is a conglomerate of companies..."<br />
::::How does this point have anything to do with your website? Your website is not a company and you and it have no ownership over the material others put on it. You have ownership of the database and the webserver (or at least the rental agreement if you rent).<br />
::::"We go by the license and law, and that is the discussion (mostly)"<br />
::::What law? The one I showed was clearly false? Again, I ask very simply: explain how you actually think authorship and licensing works (with regard to this wiki). It seems you are either unwilling or unable to back up your claims, which isn't surprising considering that they hold no weight whatsoever.<br />
::::"I have said repeatedly that like Wikipedia's terms of use, law is."<br />
::::Since the following sentences probably hinge on that one, I'm just going to have to ask you to rephrase it. From the way I read it: "I have said repeatedly that, similar to Wikipedia's terms of use, law is an entity that exists". Which is true... But it doesn't really say anything worthwhile. I could say something similar and it would have just as much meaning to me: I have said repeatedly that like Wikipedia's terms of use, bacon is. --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 14:57, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
::::PS. If you really do follow wikipedia's rules, then you broke them by reverting my edit. See [[w:Wikipedia:TPO]].<br />
<br />
:::::I know. It's just an interesting story. That, though, is the only way whatever you are talking about is possible. D&D Wiki licenses content, like Wikipedia (see their Terms of Use). What's not to understand? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 15:04, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::"D&D Wiki licenses content"<br />
::::::From whom? Licenses need to be granted by some entity by definition... Yes. You just argued my point for me. You still haven't explained how you think it actually works though (yes, this is my third time asking on this page alone). --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 15:12, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::No, your not thinking about this. How does Wikipedia do it? They are only reserved. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 15:14, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::I will entertain your questions even though you won't answer mine. I'm not sure which terms of use you want to to explain (the old one that uses GNU FDL 1.2 or the new one that uses GNU FDL 1.3. I'll explain the one that matters<br />
<br />
::::::::'''GNU FDL 1.2 (last revision found at [[w:Wikipedia:Terms_of_use&oldid=30325726]]):'''<br />
::::::::After all the boring text telling us that every page is protected under US copyright laws, you are bound to the terms even if you don't read them, that pages are licensed under GNU FDL 1.2, and that page histories meet the terms of the GNU FDL, there is a wonderful gem of bolded text (which I'm going to bold the important part in my quote below).<br />
::::::::"you are hereby being given notice under Title 17 USC that it is your responsibility to comply with the copyright laws in regards to this archival material and your copying it may be considered infringement ('''specifically if any of the materials being stored in those prior versions are copyrighted materials that were submitted to Wikipedia without the author/authors or copyright holder's/holders' permission(s)''')."<br />
::::::::Huh? The author has to give permission to have it put on Wikipedia? It's almost as if the author has rights to their own work! You know, like the right to license their work as they see fit. Note also that the terms of use do not have any such mention of forgoing the author's right to relicense their own work. It just talks about the fact that you can't take materials that have a copyright and add the GNU FDL license without having the author's consent.<br />
<br />
::::::::Now for the GNU FDL 1.3, there is little point in explaining because we have already determined that this wiki does not use that license anyways, but if it did, a CC-by-SA license can be added to ''other author's'' work. Yeah, if this site was GNU FDL 1.3 that would just mean that moving content and relicensing would not require the author's consent.<br />

:::::::::::Your not getting it. "you are bound to the terms even if you don't read them", meaning that you are bound to the terms.

<br />
::::::::::::Can I link to an external site (the US Copyright Office site)? On their FAQ, you will clearly see the following text:<br />
::::::::::::"Do I have to register with your office to be protected? No. In general, registration is voluntary. Copyright exists from the moment the work is created. You will have to register, however, if you wish to bring a lawsuit for infringement of a U.S. work."<br />

<br />
::::It doesn't. See also the [[Coin Golem (3.5e Creature)]]. All I am saying is there is a licensing problem (as it ''is'' the GNU FDL v1.2) which undermines D&D Wiki in various ways if it is not that license. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:45, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::Right. But the point of the GNU FDL is not for authors, it is for collaborators. The author is licensing a ''copy'' of their work (whatever it may be) under the GNU FDL. It is not an exclusive license. That ''copy'' must follow all the rules and regulations of the GNU FDL. If the same user decides they want to license their work under a different license, they don't have to pay any attention to the GNU FDL because they are licensing a completely separate ''copy'' -- even if the content is exactly the same. --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 17:56, 30 May 2011 (MDT)<br />

<br />
== Keran (3.5e Races) ==<br />
<br />
Why have you recently edited the names of many of my races from "Race Name (Keran Race)" to "Race Name, Keran (3.5e Race)"? In my opinion it was unnecessary and I am confused to why you did it?--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:06, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Races should be labeled as "Race". I added "Keran" to some to distinguish them as part of [[Blades Of Keran (3.5e Campaign Setting)|Blades Of Keran]] where their was already something of the same name. How they used to be named made a problem on the dynamic race pages. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:09, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Didn't notice the problems. And if thats so then why not rename all of them? Also some of what you renamed doesn't have Keran in the title. --[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:18, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::I guess I can. Some don't have "Keran" because I was not certain if you want it there or not. It doesn't need to be (the reason for the some was that it makes sense to not have variant attached to the page), but they all can have "Keran" present. I am uncertain. I'm actually working on the disambiguation page [[Elf]] and didn't do the others as such. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:21, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::So why did they need to say 3.5e? I didn't think they required it to be 3.5e.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:36, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::I put that there because they use 3.5e rules. I think I am confused. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:39, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::You didn't do that for other Disambiguations. For example [[Fighter|Fighter]].--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:43, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::I'm not understanding what your saying. I have not yet saved [[Elf]], if that helps at all. I was actually talking about the Keran races I moved above. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:45, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::I was more asking why do they need to be (3.5e Race) for disambiguation. Also if it is just because of it is 3.5 material then shouldn't Cora races also be changed?.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 01:55, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::Yes, it is because it is 3.5e material. I am doing it because disambiguation pages require alphabetization and moving them now makes it much smoother. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 01:57, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::Okay. But how come the elves now don't have Keran as part of the page title? Not that thats a problem just wondering. Because you changed the name for the Lizardfolk as well (I'm guessing for the same reasons as the Elves) but they still have the Keran as part of there title.--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 02:13, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::I did that because the lizardfolk had other lizardfolk races with the same name present. I can do that for the elves, which were the only elves with that name, if you want. It's your call. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 18:36, 4 June 2011 (MDT)<br />

== Prestige Base Classes ==<br />
<br />
In Blades Of Keran I was going to create new prestige classes. The only problem is that I want my prestige classes to like a Base Class with slight requirements. And as I wanted to make them full base classes, I was hoping to give them a full 1-20 level progression without having to use Epic Level Rules. So would they be still classed as Prestige Classes?--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 23:10, 24 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:No. They would not work with [[SRD:Multiclass Characters]]. Making a [[3.5e Rules|rule]] about them and linking them from that page would be appropriate. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:19, 25 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Creating an Infrastructure Category for SRD Pages ==<br />
<br />
I was working on a sortable DPL for 3.5e SRD Creatures (as an example for what we could do for 3e Monsters), and I came across a problem. It seems that we have pages like "Evil Creatures" marked as "Creatures", which naturally creates a problem when making a DPL of all creatures. My solution to this would be one of two options: Remove "Creatures" category from pages like "Evil Creatures", or create a new category like "SRD Infrastructure", which we could add to all pages like "Evil Creatures" that are labeled "Creature" but aren't actually creatures. We already have a category by that name, so we'd need to name it something else, but the idea stands. What are your thoughts? --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 22:51, 26 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Or just remove [[:Category:Creature]] from that page and replace it with [[:Category:Creature List]]? If it's a widespread problem an infrastructure category may make more sense though. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 23:04, 26 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Ehh, I've just figured out a way to do what I wanted to do without having to change anything. I'm not sure if it is a better solution (efficiency-wise), but it's less work in the present, so I like it well enough. Do you know much about DPL tables? I'm trying to figure out how to insert text into a cell that with an empty parameter (similar to how we have NFR or NR for classes that aren't fully rated on the 3.5e Class Homebrew table). Do you know how to do that, or better yet, do you know of a website that would be able to teach me how? --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 23:39, 26 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::I know some about dpl's. An empty parameter? You could just do something like <tt><code><nowiki>|include={<!-template->}:noneparam:<!-include1->, etc</nowiki></code></tt>. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 23:53, 26 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::I don't think that's quite what I'm trying to do. If you check out [[User:Badger/sandbox12|my attempt]], you'll notice that entries like "Air Elemental" have blank spaces in the table. That is because they have multiple copies of the template I am querying on the page, so it won't return anything. My plan was to make it so if the box for "CR" was empty, the table would put in some line of text like "Varies". That way there would be no empty cells in the table. I'm still trying to get the hang of DPLs, so I'm not sure what code does what. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:03, 27 June 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::Nevermind, I don't need to do that for this list anymore, but if you know of a useful resource I'd love to get it. My google searches aren't as helpful as I'd like them to be. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:20, 27 June 2011 (MDT)<br />

== Marroar and his torrent of unbalancing ==<br />
<br />
You'll probably have already noticed and what not, but it's beginning to bug me. I noticed a guy named [[User:Marroar|Marroar]] with edits all over the place, mostly tiny ones, but hundreds of them. It seems like everything he touches becomes unbalanced as anything, particularly with some changes he tried to make to a race of my original creation, and even seen more so at [[Dragon Rider (3.5e Class)|Dragon Rider]], in which the nearly the entire history is tiny, horrible alterations to an already sketchy class, including some that go completely against the fundamental functions of the class page, like giving out ability adjustments just for taking the class. You'll see what I mean, if you look at it. Not sure if he's just a spammer or just really bad at this stuff, or just trying to con his DM or something. It's just bothersome to have some guy scurrying about waving broken-ness all over the place. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 05:07, 10 July 2011 (MDT)<br />

Greetings, is there a place I can ask questions on here for specific things? As in help on characer creation or ideas for part of a campaign world I am creating? The only place I can think of for stuff like this is the sandbox but.. I highly doubt anyone will actually comment on anything I say or ask. That aside, do you know of any place I can chat with people about these things in real time? I am joining a gestalt campaign here in a few days and have questions regarding item creation, but due to the time between now and actual play, I would like to get feedback instantly versus a few hours to days. Otherwise this wouldnt bother me. Thanks for your time in reading this and even more so if you reply. [[User:Lyrad8791|Lyrad8791]] 23:11, 3 August 2011 (MDT)<br />

:Anyone can add {{tl|delete}} so criteria is present for the deletion of that content. If you did delete content which was playable you should go back and restore it. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 19:03, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::I'm just looking at classes, like [[Anti-Christ_(3.5e_Class)|this one]], that have been marked for deletion for months. It is marked as a base class, but should be moved to prestige class if we intend to keep it. Anyway, it has class features all spelled out, but it's a mess of formatting, there is virtually no fluff, and the vast majority of the ratings (at least, the ones I trust) have said horrible things about the class. I see no reason why we should bother to keep this class, especially since it has had no productive edits since 2009. However, if you feel this is the type of content you want to keep around, I can just move it to prestige class and swap out <nowiki> {{delete}} for {{wikify}}</nowiki>. In my opinion we should have some sort of "this isn't going to get better and it is terrible now, we might as well trash it" policy. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 19:41, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Yes, there is enough content there to keep it. Is it correct? No, it needs work. Things should (if you have enough time please help) work more correctly with the [[Meta Pages#Improving, Reviewing, and Removing Articles|improving, reviewing, and removing articles]] templates. This means that those which do not work should be moved to a separate section (like [[DnD Base Classes]]) and those that do are to be more easily accessible. This removes problems such as [[Anti-Christ_(3.5e_Class)|Anti-Christ]] however leaves it enough room for it to be improved upon. If you have deleted others which are playable (I have found a few, however I have not looked well) please restore those pages. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 20:00, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::I think I've been pretty careful about deleting content that wasn't up to snuff. I know we disagree on that Taco article, but that may be because it was an April fool's class, and I figured that no one but the original creator would bother to write more fluff for it (it is my opinion that one joke doesn't make a joke page, and that page had very few). I can't think of any pages that I've deleted that were questionable. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 20:09, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::I may look more, however you could be rather correct. That was one I found, as well as one with a history earlier then the deletion template was added then was removed to make for the delete template. That was probably just a oversight problem on your part though. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 21:34, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />

==Jedi base class, prestige class, d20, consolidation==<br />
I stumbled upon the Jedi class here, and although certain aspects of Star Wars should remain out of D&D, I still think the philosophy and characterization is a good thing for roleplaying in the D&D universe, even if the flashy too powerful lightsaber doesn't belong in the hands of a starting character. <br/>I see this class as a fusion of a Paladin and a Monk and a Psion. I don't normally edit here, but I wanted to get started something that cleared up the problem of a start class Jedi. I think that is very wrong, it should take a longer time than than to get there, but I don't think a Padawan class makes sense either as it requires a Master Jedi. Then again, training characters is common, from level to level and for skills and skill improvement, so a Padawan Class might also work. <br/>I started this and hopefully you know of people who are interested in developing it: '''[[Jedi (3.5e Prestige Class)]]'''<br/><br />
I would like to eventually see these base class Jedi removed in favor of Prestige classes.<br />

None of this necessarily has to do with anything Sci-fi related, I remember reading a copy of the Priest's Handbook and it had a system for creating Religions that included Philosophies instead of Deities. I'll see if I can find another copy and maybe download it. [[Special:Contributions/173.245.55.62|173.245.55.62]] 10:01, 30 August 2011 (MDT)<br />

== Omissions ==<br />
<br />
The NoBF is missing the Practiced Spellcaster feat.<br />
This feat (and Practiced Turning, probably others) could benefit from a better description of the limitation (such as saying it is mostly to benefit multiclassed characters).<br />
<br />
Searching for edits to the NoBF was totally screwed. I'm not sure about other things listed here, nothing else showed an option to search for edits (I'm busy with other stuff too, so I gave up quick though).<br />
<br />
Show new changes starting from [Todays's Date]<br />
There was no way to change the start date. I don't know if changing the range to 30 days mattered or not, since it still started with "Today".<br />
I think I can safely assume that no changes have been made in the last 16 hours, so the fact that it didn't list any changes means nothing.<br />
<br />
Keep up the good work. :)<br />

<br />
You placed a notice on the [[#enlightened soul (3.5e prestige class)|enlightened soul]] stating that it did not adhere to wiki formatting, as the table does not have BAB and saves listed. While this is accurate, it is also an epic prestige class, and as such adheres to epic rules in this regard.

== Can Spammers be a 4e Race? ==<br />
<br />
I'm tired of the non-paid advertising put on this site. I was wondering, therefore, if it would be okay if I create a race out of these 'spammers', a.k.a. those whose only purpose on this site is to make it their own free commercial. Or would that be against the warning policy? I wouldn't say or write anything threatening or offensive, although the people sending spam should be criticized for a lack of decency. It's a shame that such a good site is being infiltrated by these advertisements, and it's also a shame to all companies who rightfully ''pay'' to have a product advertised instead of taking advantage of the internet. Anyways, I just wanted to know whether or not I could create a scathing "Spammer (4e Race)" If not, then that's okay. (Also note, I won't be able to be on the site for the next two days, but after that I would have all the time in the world to create the race, if it's acceptable.) --[[User:Obake|Obake]] 20:04, 30 September 2011 (MDT)<br />

Hey green dragon. It's me, Dj00345. Since I created the 2.5e Homebrew, I have been watching the recent changes log to see if anyone creates anything for the 2.5e Homebrew. I just fixed one page created by someone, they forgot the categories that would link it to a certain page, I was wondering if I can do that for any 2.5e page that doesn't make it to the right places???

<br />
Hey Green Dragon. I appreciate the effort on your part on keeping my idea from being deleted over the past couple of years. I've seriously neglected completing it, but to be honest I was in the process of creating powers as I posted the first information on the class over two years ago. I've recently happened upon my old notebooks and have been revising old powers I'd written there (but not posted here) and have reformed my approach to the class. I'm currently in school for Game Art and Design, so this is a wonderful outlet for my Systems Design work. As such, I'll be completing this class over the next few months.<br />

== Formatting and licensing for transcriptions ==<br />
<br />
Greetings-<br />
I've been working on and off on transcribing one of Mongoose Publishing's books in the Quintessential series ([[The Quintessential Monk]]). I'm pretty sure I've been getting the formatting in acceptable shape, but would love someone with an experienced eye to take a look. However, the main question I have is about the OGL. I've been taking the "please help transcribe" tags on [[3.5e_Open_Game_Content|this]] page at face value, and have basically been doing just that: a word-for-word transcription. Are there exceptions or limitations to what can and can't be legally duplicated on the internet? I'm not very clear on how the OGL works. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. --[[User:Klichka|Klichka]] 17:21, 6 December 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:The formatting works. The ideal is like [[Crime and Punishment - The Players Sourcebook of the Law]] with the links but if you don't do it like that someone will come along eventually and format it like that.<br />
:You can post every word. The exceptions are Product Identity which basically can only be used by Wizards anyway. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:58, 10 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== Looking for advice... and help. ==<br />
<br />
I have built a few things here on the D&DWiki page, all under the 3.5 sections; (Jachyrines, Matter Shifter, Velloreans, SoulChain Warrior, Slithzirkhai and a few others).<br />
<br />
I am trying to find someone who can look these over and tell me if I have over-powered them or made the Level Adjustment on the races right.<br />
<br />
Also, I am looking at building two "mirror" 3.5 classes, the Lunarian and Solarian... Basically mages that draw their power from the Moon and Sun, respectively. I am wanting to do it up like the psion with "Spell Points" vs a set number of spells per day, so they have like a set amoung of "Lunar Power" or "Solar Power" to cast spells with. Its just I want to make sure I go about it right, so if you know of anyone who can give me advice on how to go about this without overpowering it, but not making it completely weak and useless, that'd be great. And yes, they'd each have powers they gain on certain levels related to their source of power.<br />
<br />
Also, is there any word on getting the small book "Secret College of Necromancy" transcribed into the site? I used to own it, my ex lost it, and now I can't find a new one. Just curious.<br />
<br />
Many Thanks for any help;<br />

Um, the redirect isn't working properly. I want to move my <s>User: Axl/My Sandbox/4e Future Power</s> to [[User: Axl/My Sandbox/4e Future Power Preload]], but it already has that name as a redirect.

Can this be fixed, and when is the 4e Power creator going to be fixed? The reason why I created the 4e Future Power Preload was so that I would not have to type out the links that say <!-[[Main Page]] &rarr; [[4e Homebrew|Homebrew]] &rarr;-> etc. What I'll do is I'll create a breadcrumb that I'll just type into the power while I'm creating it, but could you fix the redirect? Thanks. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 17:30, 24 December 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Are those pages now how you wanted them to be?<br />
:Also, [[Add New 4e Power]] is working&ndash; or what do you mean is not? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 12:46, 27 December 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
::When I tried it in my D&D 4.0 Future sourcebook, it didn't work. I thought that the add power in my sourcebook and the homebrew was the same. I have since changed it. I'll try it again, this time in the homebrew. Thanks. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 22:30, 30 December 2011 (MST)<br />
<br />
::Oh, did you fix the redirector? I said it wrong. I said "could you fix the redirect?" when I should have said "could you fix the redirector?". Sorry about that. I'm deleting the 4e Future Power Preload. Sorry for the hassle. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 22:31, 30 December 2011 (MST)<br />

== 4e race design guideline ==<br />
<br />
Hi Green Dragon, just a quick question about my article [[4e Race Design (DnD Guideline)]]. I see it's been copied to [[4e Race Add Instructions]] - If make further updates (and I do have some planned), will this need to be copied over manually? I was also hoping someone else familiar with 4e mechanics could check through this before it's used "officially", what do you think? ''':)''' [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 07:20, 4 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:I read through it and it seemed to cover the design bases well. And no, when you change it will automatically change (it is transcluded). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 14:25, 4 January 2012 (MST)<br />
::Great, thanks. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 15:50, 4 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== Stub tag removal ==<br />
<br />
I recently created a new prestige class, [[Badass (3.5e Prestige Class)]]. It isn't rated yet or anything, but for the most part it is complete. How do I go about getting the stub tag removed? -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 15:01, 4 January 2012 (MST)<br />

:Does the wording on [[Template:Stub]] make more sense now? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 15:45, 4 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Fixing double redirects ==<br />
<br />
There are quite a few double redirects to be cleaned up manually, and they have been accumulating far faster than they have been fixed manually. Due to this, I was wondering if it would be worth it to have a programming adept wiki user, or hire somebody in your area to design a program to automatically fix the problem by cleaning up double redirects. I'm fairly certain Wikipedia has a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Computer_help_desk/double_redirect_study form of this]. Would it be possible to base the program off a similar idea? With the number of double redirects growing it may be worth investing the time. On a similar note, if a program like this is made, would it be possible to alter it slightly to perform other menial tasks around the wiki such as moving (DnD) pages to their respective edition? I realize many of them have already been moved, however some are still in the wrong places. --[[Special:Contributions/173.245.55.116|173.245.55.116]] 22:05, 8 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== Flaw submission problem ==<br />
<br />
Hi Green Dragon,<br />
Just signed up for D&D Wiki, though I've been here before.<br />
I'm trying to submit a character flaw, and the only thing that shows up on the character flaws page is the title, but none of the description and whatnot. Am I doing something wrong, or do the submissions have to be reviewed first? I'll paste the flaw here so maybe you can tell me if the coding is wrong or something... Thanks! =edit= Pasted it in and only that one line shows up.. Argh..<br />
<br />
{{3.5e Flaw <br />
|name= Large Breasts <br />
|types= General <br />
|summary= Generally, your large breasts tend to get in the way. <br />
|drawback= For whatever reason, your character has been quite well -ahem- endowed. As a result, ever since coming of age your character has noticed a few drawbacks. For one, any Acrobatic checks the character makes take a -5 penalty. The penalty is increased by 1 for each cup size the female has above D.<br />
Additionally, any time the character needs to squeeze through a tight spot, her breasts will get in the way again. Any time she has to squeeze through a small tunnel, doorway, escape through a small window, or even push her way through a group of people, she must make an Escape artist check equal to 10 + 1/2 her character level rounded down. The same rule of 1 added to the DC for each size larger than D cup size applies here as well. <br />
|roleplay= Generally this can be used for humor's sake, or for misfortune's sake that is up to your DM and how good of a sense of humor he has. I was a very humorous DM with a gentleman who had a curvy female Ninja, and invariably he would mess up the acrobatics roll, so we started joking about her breasts getting in the way, hence this flaw's creation; "Well Dustin, because you chose to build such a well rounded character... Would you care to roll your acrobatics check to jump from that rooftop to the next? A 19. Well normally that jump's DC would be 15. However, since you built such a 'well rounded' character, your DC was 21 because of her DD size chest you keep bragging about. Well luckily you did make the jump, but because of the unequal weight distribution, your character takes a bit of a tumble upon landing, and doesn't land on her feet but rather her stomach and face. She isn't hurt, well, maybe her pride is". <br />
<!-- Delete any of the following if they are not used --><br />
|prereqs= Must be FEMALE, Must have breasts of D size or greater <br />
|benefit= This flaw gives two benefits: 1 extra feat, and a +2 on Diplomacy checks with any male or female who is attracted to your character<br />
|normal=<br />
|special= The +2 to Diplomacy only works if your character has 16 Charisma or higher!<br />

::I would like to see this flaw removed. It is immoral. Please, remove it. --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 17:12, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
==Review Request System==<br />
<br />
I've noticed that it can be somewhat difficult to get reviews on user content, usually requiring contacting individual reviewers to ask for a review. Now, this system does work, but it is far from optimal, especially for newer users on the wiki. What I propose is a new template, say, <nowiki>{{requestreview}}</nowiki>, that would effectively generate a list of completed pages that the author would like feedback on. I don't know a lot about templates, but I don't think it should be especially difficult to start this up. It is my opinion that we'll end up with higher-quality pages overall if we do this. What do you think? -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 13:20, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:That's not a bad idea (and it'd be really easy to implement -- just have the template add pages to [[:Category:NeedsReview]] or whatever). I see two flaws with it though. 1) a lot of people who post content... don't exactly stick around. We'd need some sort of criteria for removing pages from the category. This shouldn't be a big issue, really. 2) as I've argued [[Discussion:I think it's time to change the rating system|here]], the rating system is very much messed up and in need of a fix. We really should fix that before we ask people to use it. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 14:00, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::The first issue could be fixed fairly easily, with a bot that removes the template if it was added over two weeks ago, although I don't know it that is feasible. Thus abandoned pages, or pages that have been rated, would drop off the list in two weeks.<br />
<br />
::I agree with you about the rating system being messed up, but it does provide a way to get feedback on pages. That is to say, it may not work well, but it's better than nothing. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 14:43, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::I changed the protection for [[Template:Reviewing Template]]. Feel free to add a requestreview template and then I will lock it up again. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 15:08, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::Okay, I think I did it right, but I'm not sure. I used the others as a guide for formatting, so it should work okay, but I'm notoriously bad at coding. My apologies if I broke the page. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 16:21, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::I locked [[Template:Reviewing Template]] back up. It looks good, and I think that after someone reviews the page the template can get removed. I don't think that we need a time frame. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 17:13, 24 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::::I'm not sure you understood the meaning behind the template. The idea was to provide a way for users to request feedback on a page through the rating system. I should have been more clear about that; looking back, I realize now that I wasn't at all clear about what I meant. -[[User:Silverkin|Silverkin]] 08:40, 25 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::::Well the rating system is not wiki-wide (since [[Meta Pages#Improving, Reviewing, and Removing Articles]] is a much better option). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 09:54, 25 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Trying to do this right. ==<br />
<br />
So I recently created an optimized character build, a melee oriented Dread Necromancer, and I was wondering if you could help me clean it up a bit (with formatting and such). I would like it too look professional, and I simply lack the wiki know how to do so.<br />
<br />
Please and thank you, <br />

<br />
== Adding an SRD Class ==<br />
<br />
I would like to add the Favored Soul class to the wiki. How would I go about doing so?<br />
<br />
:The Favored Soul from [[Complete Divine]] is not licensed under the [[Open Game License v1.0a|OGL]] so it cannot be posted here. If you want to, however, you can make more [[Publication List|publications]] look like Complete Divine therefore being more useable. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 10:26, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::I assume you mean going into books like [[Magic of Incarnum|Magic of Incarnum]] and updating some of the pertinent information there?--[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 10:32, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::Right. That is the closest we can get to letting people know about classes such as the Favored Soul. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 10:39, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::: Got it. I will start on that one. Thanks! --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 10:40, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Changing the Feat Section ==<br />
<br />
I have a suggestion GD. I noticed while adding 3.5e feats they don't instantly add to the tables, I checked the code and noticed that each feat has to placed into the table. Wouldn't it be faster and more efficent for adding new feats if it worked like the Spell List section?--[[User:Milo v3|Milo High-Hill]] 07:01, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Yes. Some of those pages are very old and are not dynamic. Others, however, are. For example [[DnD Heritage Feats]] is the most useful version, but problems still exist (why are there those "&mdash;"'s at the end). Yes, they should all be updated to the DnD Heritage Feats. Also [[Template:3e Feat Table Row Test L2]] needs to be corrected (that is where the problem is coming from). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 10:54, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::GD, while we are on the subject of feats, is there a way we can add feats from the other published items, i.e. [[Complete Divine]] to the Feat tables, or are we going to keep those seperate? --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 11:07, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::Since they cannot be used in a game (the mechanics are not present) we will not. Feats from [[3.5e Open Game Content]] are supposed to be added, though. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:40, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::What if we added the mechanics? Or can we? Maybe I am just confused. --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 11:47, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::We cannot add the mechanics. They are not licensed under an appropriate license, notably the [[Open Game License v1.0a|OGL]]. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 11:50, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::::OK, I will stick with the brief summaries. --[[User:Irykyl| Irykyl]] 11:52, 9 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::::Brief quotes (research papers do this) or summaries (think about movie summaries for example) should be fine. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 14:00, 9 February 2012 (MST)</div>Axlhttps://www.dandwiki.com/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Axl&diff=549272User talk:Axl2012-02-01T23:06:02Z<p>Axl: /* sci fi */</p>

<div>== Welcome to D&D Wiki! ==<br />
<br />
;Welcome!<br />
Hello {{PAGENAME}} and welcome to D&D Wiki. I hope you have been enjoying D&D Wiki and I hope you have been finding the information here useful. Before you start contributing it is recommended you make sure your [[Special:Preferences|user preferences]] match your preferences. I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well). Everything relating to admins can be found [[Meta Pages#Administration|here]].<br />
;Questions:<br />
If you have any questions about a specific page please ask it on that pages talk page. All other questions should be asked to another; user, admin, or me, the owner ([http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Green_Dragon&action=edit&section=new ask me a question]).<br />
;Formatting<br />
Formatting on D&D Wiki (or any wiki for that matter) can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Help:Editing] on Wikipedia (or even their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction Introduction] page). This will explain basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Again, if you have any questions about formatting on D&D Wiki please ask them as, I imagine, anybody will be more than happy to help you get them answered.<br />
;Community<br />
A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. Most discussions take place on content talk pages, however please feel free to ask specific D&D-related questions on [[DnD Discussion]]s. Anyway, possibly since discussions are never deleted, people try to be nice. This means follow Wikipedia's guidelines on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility civility] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etiquette etiquette] when discussing anything. Also, on a pretty different note, to ensure people know who posted what, please sign your name after a post with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) or by clicking on the signature icon ([[Image:Signature_icon.png]]). This will automatically produce your name and the date. Anyway, I hope you come to enjoy D&D Wiki and the community and welcome again, you are now a D&D Wikian. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:08, 30 May 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Few things ==<br />
<br />
First of all, you can sign your posts by hitting the button above the edit window, or else by adding four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).<br />
<br />
Secondly, make sure you are only adding content for which you are comfortable to have other people editing. Every time you edit a page there is a very clear warning that says "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I've noticed on many (all?) of your pages you have placed warnings saying "No one can edit this page", and that's simply not true. ''Anyone'' can edit your page, that's the whole point of a wiki.<br />
<br />
Hope that clears things up, [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 22:08, 2 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Is this a response to my Fell Knight 4e Power Request? Or is this for signiture on my creations?<br />
<br />
:Also, I really don't want anyone editing my stuff, because that's the way I want it to be. If someone says, "Hey, it looks unstable." And points out stuff, ''I'' will change it.<br />
<br />
:Thanks anyway though.<br />

::I just meant every time you write something on a talk page and want to sign it. If you use four tildes instead of manually typing "Axl", it will put a link to your userpage as well as the date and time of your post. It just makes it easier to follow later on.<br />
<br />
::As to someone editing your stuff, I see you asked Green Dragon. We'll see what he says, but the GNU license simply doesn't work that way. It doesn't matter if that's not what you want, unfortunately. Now it's proper etiquette to ask before you make significant changes, but you simply can't expect someone to ask you before changing *anything*.

:::::I'm going to chime in here to add something. While it's true anyone ''can'' edit anything, most users like to maintain some sense of ownership over their content. While this may be a false sense of ownership, it's usually respected. Few people will go in and edit your races or classes to make it what they want. If anyone has suggestions for content or balance they will likely just add a balance template or leave you a message on the discussion page. I wouldn't worry about people editing your content. I've uploaded some of my own work here and other people making edits has never been an issue. Plus, if they ever make drastic changes you don't like, there's always the revert button. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

So you may or may not know this, but Dandwiki used to have an IRC chatroom where contributors could talk in real time and get help from one another.

If you have some time (it shouldn't take more than a few minutes), stop by [[Discussion:Re-opening_the_tavern%3F_What_does_the_community_think%3F|the discussion]] and post your thoughts.

If you don't want to display "User:Axl" in front of everything, and I don't blame you, write your links like this: <nowiki> [[User:Axl/Page Name|Display Name]]</nowiki> and it will show up as a link that displays whatever you wrote, regardless of the actual page name.

== Your Sourcebook ==<br />
<br />
Alright, so you're writing a sourcebook for 4e future. Very Cool. However, you aren't doing it quite right. Every page in your Sourcebook needs to be a subpage of the main page, not a new page. What I mean is your sourcebook is named "DnD 4.0 Future" so the URL for that page should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)". The URL for your page "Introduction" should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction". Is that clear? You can still link them like any other page, by putting "DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction" in the double brackets. What you've done right now is made several random pages floating around the wiki that aren't where they belong. Let me know if you need any more help. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:(Groan). Okay. I'll just change all the links to fit the new page name. By the way, it's a 4e Sourcebook. Why's there the 3.5e Sourcebook thing?<br />

== Fun fact of the day ==<br />
<br />
I don't know if you've realized this, but did you know that there's a move button up near the top of the page? This can be used to move an incorrectly-titled page to use the correct title. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 23:24, 16 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== 4e Equipment ==<br />
<br />
Since you asked Green Dragon, and I'm not sure if you watch his talk page I thought I'd let you know I've started working on some 4e preloads. here is the [[User_talk:Green_Dragon#Add_new_equipment.3F|link]]. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:09, 17 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Problems with your Sourcebook==<br />
Alright, so it seems you're having some trouble understanding what your sourcebook is, and what it isn't.<br />
# Your sourcebook is a complete set of variant rules and modifications to an existing DnD Edition (4e, in your case)<br />
# Your sourcebook is written by you. As this is a wiki others may contribute, but 99% of the work is yours.<br />
# Your sourcebook is still 4e. Because of this, all the equipment needs to be labeled (4e Equipment) not (4e Future Equipment). The same is true for Races, Classes, Powers, and whatever else you write.<br />
Ok then, now that we've cleared that up, here's what we have to do:<br />
#Every piece of equipment you wrote that is labeled (4e Future Equipment) needs to be '''moved''' to (4e Equipment). The same is true for all your races and classes and everything.<br />
#To have all your 4e Future equipment (and other things) kept together, you need to add a category at the bottom of each page that indicates that page belongs to your sourcebook.<br />
Hopefully all this makes sense, as it is important. If you don't understand anything here, you need to ask someone about it before you continue work on your sourcebook. I don't really want to help you with the grunt work of moving pages and whatnot, but I'd be willing to teach you how to do things, if you need me to. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 03:50, 20 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

Recently I nominated myself for adminship on the wiki. I don't want to sound like I'm advertising my nomination, however it has been three days without any support or oppose comments.

== Tiered bonuses for racial powers ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, thanks for contacting me!<br />
<br />
I'll explain further. Attack powers usually have the Implement or Weapon keywords. Therefore they benefit from enchantment bonuses, and are ''expected'' to have an enchantment bonus at later levels. Furthermore, Weapon attacks will benefit from a proficiency bonus (although they normally target AC).<br />
<br />
Racial attack powers will most often ''not'' have the Implement or Weapon keywords (since they are inherent abilities) and therefore need some attack bonus to keep up with enchantment bonuses. For example, the Dragonborn's breath weapon has +2 at heroic, +4 at paragon, +6 at epic.<br />
<br />
So no, you don't ''have'' to have the tiered bonus, but don't expect the power to still be effective by late Heroic. I hope that this is useful for you, please contact me if you have any queries about my other comments. Thanks! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 10:24, 22 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Damage ''usually'' tiers too. Dragonborn's breath goes 1d6, 2d6, 3d6 for example. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 00:39, 28 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
== sci fi ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, on the subject of your Future work, I wondered if you had read the new Gamma World? A while ago I was working on adapting a sci-fi 4e but abandoned it when I realized that using GW as a foundation was much better than D&D. It uses basically the 4e system with with more appropriate skills and damage types, and instead of race/class you mix and match two origins. Anyway :) Keep up the good work. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 15:56, 1 February 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:No, I have not. If you want to contribute Gamma World to 4e Future, you can. :) Though, I have worked on a Racial Hybrid system. If you wanna check it out, it's [[User: Axl/My Sandbox/Racial Hybrid System|here]] --[[User:Axl|Axl]] 16:06, 1 February 2012 (MST)</div>Axlhttps://www.dandwiki.com/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Axl&diff=549271User talk:Axl2012-02-01T22:58:12Z<p>Axl: /* Breadcrumb Note */</p>

<div>== Welcome to D&D Wiki! ==<br />
<br />
;Welcome!<br />
Hello {{PAGENAME}} and welcome to D&D Wiki. I hope you have been enjoying D&D Wiki and I hope you have been finding the information here useful. Before you start contributing it is recommended you make sure your [[Special:Preferences|user preferences]] match your preferences. I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well). Everything relating to admins can be found [[Meta Pages#Administration|here]].<br />
;Questions:<br />
If you have any questions about a specific page please ask it on that pages talk page. All other questions should be asked to another; user, admin, or me, the owner ([http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Green_Dragon&action=edit&section=new ask me a question]).<br />
;Formatting<br />
Formatting on D&D Wiki (or any wiki for that matter) can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Help:Editing] on Wikipedia (or even their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction Introduction] page). This will explain basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Again, if you have any questions about formatting on D&D Wiki please ask them as, I imagine, anybody will be more than happy to help you get them answered.<br />
;Community<br />
A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. Most discussions take place on content talk pages, however please feel free to ask specific D&D-related questions on [[DnD Discussion]]s. Anyway, possibly since discussions are never deleted, people try to be nice. This means follow Wikipedia's guidelines on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility civility] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etiquette etiquette] when discussing anything. Also, on a pretty different note, to ensure people know who posted what, please sign your name after a post with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) or by clicking on the signature icon ([[Image:Signature_icon.png]]). This will automatically produce your name and the date. Anyway, I hope you come to enjoy D&D Wiki and the community and welcome again, you are now a D&D Wikian. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:08, 30 May 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Few things ==<br />
<br />
First of all, you can sign your posts by hitting the button above the edit window, or else by adding four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).<br />
<br />
Secondly, make sure you are only adding content for which you are comfortable to have other people editing. Every time you edit a page there is a very clear warning that says "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I've noticed on many (all?) of your pages you have placed warnings saying "No one can edit this page", and that's simply not true. ''Anyone'' can edit your page, that's the whole point of a wiki.<br />
<br />
Hope that clears things up, [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 22:08, 2 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Is this a response to my Fell Knight 4e Power Request? Or is this for signiture on my creations?<br />
<br />
:Also, I really don't want anyone editing my stuff, because that's the way I want it to be. If someone says, "Hey, it looks unstable." And points out stuff, ''I'' will change it.<br />
<br />
:Thanks anyway though.<br />

::I just meant every time you write something on a talk page and want to sign it. If you use four tildes instead of manually typing "Axl", it will put a link to your userpage as well as the date and time of your post. It just makes it easier to follow later on.<br />
<br />
::As to someone editing your stuff, I see you asked Green Dragon. We'll see what he says, but the GNU license simply doesn't work that way. It doesn't matter if that's not what you want, unfortunately. Now it's proper etiquette to ask before you make significant changes, but you simply can't expect someone to ask you before changing *anything*.

:::::I'm going to chime in here to add something. While it's true anyone ''can'' edit anything, most users like to maintain some sense of ownership over their content. While this may be a false sense of ownership, it's usually respected. Few people will go in and edit your races or classes to make it what they want. If anyone has suggestions for content or balance they will likely just add a balance template or leave you a message on the discussion page. I wouldn't worry about people editing your content. I've uploaded some of my own work here and other people making edits has never been an issue. Plus, if they ever make drastic changes you don't like, there's always the revert button. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

If you have some time (it shouldn't take more than a few minutes), stop by [[Discussion:Re-opening_the_tavern%3F_What_does_the_community_think%3F|the discussion]] and post your thoughts.

If you don't want to display "User:Axl" in front of everything, and I don't blame you, write your links like this: <nowiki> [[User:Axl/Page Name|Display Name]]</nowiki> and it will show up as a link that displays whatever you wrote, regardless of the actual page name.

== Your Sourcebook ==<br />
<br />
Alright, so you're writing a sourcebook for 4e future. Very Cool. However, you aren't doing it quite right. Every page in your Sourcebook needs to be a subpage of the main page, not a new page. What I mean is your sourcebook is named "DnD 4.0 Future" so the URL for that page should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)". The URL for your page "Introduction" should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction". Is that clear? You can still link them like any other page, by putting "DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction" in the double brackets. What you've done right now is made several random pages floating around the wiki that aren't where they belong. Let me know if you need any more help. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== 4e Equipment ==<br />
<br />
Since you asked Green Dragon, and I'm not sure if you watch his talk page I thought I'd let you know I've started working on some 4e preloads. here is the [[User_talk:Green_Dragon#Add_new_equipment.3F|link]]. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:09, 17 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Problems with your Sourcebook==<br />
Alright, so it seems you're having some trouble understanding what your sourcebook is, and what it isn't.<br />
# Your sourcebook is a complete set of variant rules and modifications to an existing DnD Edition (4e, in your case)<br />
# Your sourcebook is written by you. As this is a wiki others may contribute, but 99% of the work is yours.<br />
# Your sourcebook is still 4e. Because of this, all the equipment needs to be labeled (4e Equipment) not (4e Future Equipment). The same is true for Races, Classes, Powers, and whatever else you write.<br />
Ok then, now that we've cleared that up, here's what we have to do:<br />
#Every piece of equipment you wrote that is labeled (4e Future Equipment) needs to be '''moved''' to (4e Equipment). The same is true for all your races and classes and everything.<br />
#To have all your 4e Future equipment (and other things) kept together, you need to add a category at the bottom of each page that indicates that page belongs to your sourcebook.<br />
Hopefully all this makes sense, as it is important. If you don't understand anything here, you need to ask someone about it before you continue work on your sourcebook. I don't really want to help you with the grunt work of moving pages and whatnot, but I'd be willing to teach you how to do things, if you need me to. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 03:50, 20 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== My RfA ==<br />
<br />
Recently I nominated myself for adminship on the wiki. I don't want to sound like I'm advertising my nomination, however it has been three days without any support or oppose comments. I am just trying to get at least a few people to take notice and comment. My nomination may be found [[Requests for Adminship/Vrail|here]]. Thanks. --[[User:Vrail|Vrail]] 11:16, 18 August 2010 (MDT)<br />

== Tiered bonuses for racial powers ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, thanks for contacting me!<br />
<br />
I'll explain further. Attack powers usually have the Implement or Weapon keywords. Therefore they benefit from enchantment bonuses, and are ''expected'' to have an enchantment bonus at later levels. Furthermore, Weapon attacks will benefit from a proficiency bonus (although they normally target AC).<br />
<br />
Racial attack powers will most often ''not'' have the Implement or Weapon keywords (since they are inherent abilities) and therefore need some attack bonus to keep up with enchantment bonuses. For example, the Dragonborn's breath weapon has +2 at heroic, +4 at paragon, +6 at epic.<br />
<br />
So no, you don't ''have'' to have the tiered bonus, but don't expect the power to still be effective by late Heroic. I hope that this is useful for you, please contact me if you have any queries about my other comments. Thanks! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 10:24, 22 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Damage ''usually'' tiers too. Dragonborn's breath goes 1d6, 2d6, 3d6 for example. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 00:39, 28 January 2012 (MST)<br />

== sci fi ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, on the subject of your Future work, I wondered if you had read the new Gamma World? A while ago I was working on adapting a sci-fi 4e but abandoned it when I realized that using GW as a foundation was much better than D&D. It uses basically the 4e system with with more appropriate skills and damage types, and instead of race/class you mix and match two origins. Anyway :) Keep up the good work.

<div>== Welcome to D&D Wiki! ==<br />
<br />
;Welcome!<br />
Hello {{PAGENAME}} and welcome to D&D Wiki. I hope you have been enjoying D&D Wiki and I hope you have been finding the information here useful. Before you start contributing it is recommended you make sure your [[Special:Preferences|user preferences]] match your preferences. I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well). Everything relating to admins can be found [[Meta Pages#Administration|here]].<br />
;Questions:<br />
If you have any questions about a specific page please ask it on that pages talk page. All other questions should be asked to another; user, admin, or me, the owner ([http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Green_Dragon&action=edit&section=new ask me a question]).<br />
;Formatting<br />
Formatting on D&D Wiki (or any wiki for that matter) can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Help:Editing] on Wikipedia (or even their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction Introduction] page). This will explain basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Again, if you have any questions about formatting on D&D Wiki please ask them as, I imagine, anybody will be more than happy to help you get them answered.<br />
;Community<br />
A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. Most discussions take place on content talk pages, however please feel free to ask specific D&D-related questions on [[DnD Discussion]]s. Anyway, possibly since discussions are never deleted, people try to be nice. This means follow Wikipedia's guidelines on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility civility] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etiquette etiquette] when discussing anything. Also, on a pretty different note, to ensure people know who posted what, please sign your name after a post with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) or by clicking on the signature icon ([[Image:Signature_icon.png]]). This will automatically produce your name and the date. Anyway, I hope you come to enjoy D&D Wiki and the community and welcome again, you are now a D&D Wikian. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:08, 30 May 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Few things ==<br />
<br />
First of all, you can sign your posts by hitting the button above the edit window, or else by adding four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).<br />
<br />
Secondly, make sure you are only adding content for which you are comfortable to have other people editing. Every time you edit a page there is a very clear warning that says "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I've noticed on many (all?) of your pages you have placed warnings saying "No one can edit this page", and that's simply not true. ''Anyone'' can edit your page, that's the whole point of a wiki.<br />
<br />
Hope that clears things up, [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 22:08, 2 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Is this a response to my Fell Knight 4e Power Request? Or is this for signiture on my creations?<br />
<br />
:Also, I really don't want anyone editing my stuff, because that's the way I want it to be. If someone says, "Hey, it looks unstable." And points out stuff, ''I'' will change it.<br />
<br />
:Thanks anyway though.<br />

::I just meant every time you write something on a talk page and want to sign it. If you use four tildes instead of manually typing "Axl", it will put a link to your userpage as well as the date and time of your post. It just makes it easier to follow later on.<br />
<br />
::As to someone editing your stuff, I see you asked Green Dragon. We'll see what he says, but the GNU license simply doesn't work that way. It doesn't matter if that's not what you want, unfortunately. Now it's proper etiquette to ask before you make significant changes, but you simply can't expect someone to ask you before changing *anything*.

:::::I'm going to chime in here to add something. While it's true anyone ''can'' edit anything, most users like to maintain some sense of ownership over their content. While this may be a false sense of ownership, it's usually respected. Few people will go in and edit your races or classes to make it what they want. If anyone has suggestions for content or balance they will likely just add a balance template or leave you a message on the discussion page. I wouldn't worry about people editing your content. I've uploaded some of my own work here and other people making edits has never been an issue. Plus, if they ever make drastic changes you don't like, there's always the revert button. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

If you have some time (it shouldn't take more than a few minutes), stop by [[Discussion:Re-opening_the_tavern%3F_What_does_the_community_think%3F|the discussion]] and post your thoughts.

::No, lol. A tag is the classifier after the name of the page. i.e. [[Knight (3.5e Class)]] where the (3.5e Class) would be the tag. Or [[Generating Ability Scores (3.5e Variant Rule)]] where the (3.5e Variant Rule) would be the tag. It should say what the tag is supposed to be when your naming the page in the box for the preload.

If you don't want to display "User:Axl" in front of everything, and I don't blame you, write your links like this: <nowiki> [[User:Axl/Page Name|Display Name]]</nowiki> and it will show up as a link that displays whatever you wrote, regardless of the actual page name.

== Your Sourcebook ==<br />
<br />
Alright, so you're writing a sourcebook for 4e future. Very Cool. However, you aren't doing it quite right. Every page in your Sourcebook needs to be a subpage of the main page, not a new page. What I mean is your sourcebook is named "DnD 4.0 Future" so the URL for that page should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)". The URL for your page "Introduction" should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction". Is that clear? You can still link them like any other page, by putting "DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction" in the double brackets. What you've done right now is made several random pages floating around the wiki that aren't where they belong. Let me know if you need any more help. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:(Groan). Okay. I'll just change all the links to fit the new page name. By the way, it's a 4e Sourcebook. Why's there the 3.5e Sourcebook thing?<br />
<br />
:--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 21:52, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Fun fact of the day ==<br />
<br />
I don't know if you've realized this, but did you know that there's a move button up near the top of the page? This can be used to move an incorrectly-titled page to use the correct title. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 23:24, 16 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== 4e Equipment ==<br />
<br />
Since you asked Green Dragon, and I'm not sure if you watch his talk page I thought I'd let you know I've started working on some 4e preloads. here is the [[User_talk:Green_Dragon#Add_new_equipment.3F|link]]. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:09, 17 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Problems with your Sourcebook==<br />
Alright, so it seems you're having some trouble understanding what your sourcebook is, and what it isn't.<br />
# Your sourcebook is a complete set of variant rules and modifications to an existing DnD Edition (4e, in your case)<br />
# Your sourcebook is written by you. As this is a wiki others may contribute, but 99% of the work is yours.<br />
# Your sourcebook is still 4e. Because of this, all the equipment needs to be labeled (4e Equipment) not (4e Future Equipment). The same is true for Races, Classes, Powers, and whatever else you write.<br />
Ok then, now that we've cleared that up, here's what we have to do:<br />
#Every piece of equipment you wrote that is labeled (4e Future Equipment) needs to be '''moved''' to (4e Equipment). The same is true for all your races and classes and everything.<br />
#To have all your 4e Future equipment (and other things) kept together, you need to add a category at the bottom of each page that indicates that page belongs to your sourcebook.<br />
Hopefully all this makes sense, as it is important. If you don't understand anything here, you need to ask someone about it before you continue work on your sourcebook. I don't really want to help you with the grunt work of moving pages and whatnot, but I'd be willing to teach you how to do things, if you need me to. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 03:50, 20 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Recently I nominated myself for adminship on the wiki. I don't want to sound like I'm advertising my nomination, however it has been three days without any support or oppose comments. I am just trying to get at least a few people to take notice and comment. My nomination may be found [[Requests for Adminship/Vrail|here]].

== Tiered bonuses for racial powers ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, thanks for contacting me!<br />
<br />
I'll explain further. Attack powers usually have the Implement or Weapon keywords. Therefore they benefit from enchantment bonuses, and are ''expected'' to have an enchantment bonus at later levels. Furthermore, Weapon attacks will benefit from a proficiency bonus (although they normally target AC).<br />
<br />
Racial attack powers will most often ''not'' have the Implement or Weapon keywords (since they are inherent abilities) and therefore need some attack bonus to keep up with enchantment bonuses. For example, the Dragonborn's breath weapon has +2 at heroic, +4 at paragon, +6 at epic.<br />
<br />
So no, you don't ''have'' to have the tiered bonus, but don't expect the power to still be effective by late Heroic. I hope that this is useful for you, please contact me if you have any queries about my other comments. Thanks! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 10:24, 22 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Damage ''usually'' tiers too. Dragonborn's breath goes 1d6, 2d6, 3d6 for example. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 00:39, 28 January 2012 (MST)</div>Axlhttps://www.dandwiki.com/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Axl&diff=549259User talk:Axl2012-02-01T22:41:55Z<p>Axl: /* Breadcrumb Note */</p>

<div>== Welcome to D&D Wiki! ==<br />
<br />
;Welcome!<br />
Hello {{PAGENAME}} and welcome to D&D Wiki. I hope you have been enjoying D&D Wiki and I hope you have been finding the information here useful. Before you start contributing it is recommended you make sure your [[Special:Preferences|user preferences]] match your preferences. I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well). Everything relating to admins can be found [[Meta Pages#Administration|here]].<br />
;Questions:<br />
If you have any questions about a specific page please ask it on that pages talk page. All other questions should be asked to another; user, admin, or me, the owner ([http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Green_Dragon&action=edit&section=new ask me a question]).<br />
;Formatting<br />
Formatting on D&D Wiki (or any wiki for that matter) can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Help:Editing] on Wikipedia (or even their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction Introduction] page). This will explain basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Again, if you have any questions about formatting on D&D Wiki please ask them as, I imagine, anybody will be more than happy to help you get them answered.<br />
;Community<br />
A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. Most discussions take place on content talk pages, however please feel free to ask specific D&D-related questions on [[DnD Discussion]]s. Anyway, possibly since discussions are never deleted, people try to be nice. This means follow Wikipedia's guidelines on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility civility] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etiquette etiquette] when discussing anything. Also, on a pretty different note, to ensure people know who posted what, please sign your name after a post with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) or by clicking on the signature icon ([[Image:Signature_icon.png]]). This will automatically produce your name and the date. Anyway, I hope you come to enjoy D&D Wiki and the community and welcome again, you are now a D&D Wikian. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:08, 30 May 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Few things ==<br />
<br />
First of all, you can sign your posts by hitting the button above the edit window, or else by adding four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).<br />
<br />
Secondly, make sure you are only adding content for which you are comfortable to have other people editing. Every time you edit a page there is a very clear warning that says "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I've noticed on many (all?) of your pages you have placed warnings saying "No one can edit this page", and that's simply not true. ''Anyone'' can edit your page, that's the whole point of a wiki.<br />
<br />
Hope that clears things up, [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 22:08, 2 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Is this a response to my Fell Knight 4e Power Request? Or is this for signiture on my creations?<br />
<br />
:Also, I really don't want anyone editing my stuff, because that's the way I want it to be. If someone says, "Hey, it looks unstable." And points out stuff, ''I'' will change it.<br />
<br />
:Thanks anyway though.<br />

::I just meant every time you write something on a talk page and want to sign it. If you use four tildes instead of manually typing "Axl", it will put a link to your userpage as well as the date and time of your post. It just makes it easier to follow later on.<br />
<br />
::As to someone editing your stuff, I see you asked Green Dragon. We'll see what he says, but the GNU license simply doesn't work that way. It doesn't matter if that's not what you want, unfortunately. Now it's proper etiquette to ask before you make significant changes, but you simply can't expect someone to ask you before changing *anything*.

:::::I'm going to chime in here to add something. While it's true anyone ''can'' edit anything, most users like to maintain some sense of ownership over their content. While this may be a false sense of ownership, it's usually respected. Few people will go in and edit your races or classes to make it what they want. If anyone has suggestions for content or balance they will likely just add a balance template or leave you a message on the discussion page. I wouldn't worry about people editing your content. I've uploaded some of my own work here and other people making edits has never been an issue. Plus, if they ever make drastic changes you don't like, there's always the revert button. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Your Sourcebook ==<br />
<br />
Alright, so you're writing a sourcebook for 4e future. Very Cool. However, you aren't doing it quite right. Every page in your Sourcebook needs to be a subpage of the main page, not a new page. What I mean is your sourcebook is named "DnD 4.0 Future" so the URL for that page should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)". The URL for your page "Introduction" should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction". Is that clear? You can still link them like any other page, by putting "DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction" in the double brackets. What you've done right now is made several random pages floating around the wiki that aren't where they belong. Let me know if you need any more help. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

Since you asked Green Dragon, and I'm not sure if you watch his talk page I thought I'd let you know I've started working on some 4e preloads. here is the [[User_talk:Green_Dragon#Add_new_equipment.3F|link]]. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:09, 17 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Problems with your Sourcebook==<br />
Alright, so it seems you're having some trouble understanding what your sourcebook is, and what it isn't.<br />
# Your sourcebook is a complete set of variant rules and modifications to an existing DnD Edition (4e, in your case)<br />
# Your sourcebook is written by you. As this is a wiki others may contribute, but 99% of the work is yours.<br />
# Your sourcebook is still 4e. Because of this, all the equipment needs to be labeled (4e Equipment) not (4e Future Equipment). The same is true for Races, Classes, Powers, and whatever else you write.<br />
Ok then, now that we've cleared that up, here's what we have to do:<br />
#Every piece of equipment you wrote that is labeled (4e Future Equipment) needs to be '''moved''' to (4e Equipment). The same is true for all your races and classes and everything.<br />
#To have all your 4e Future equipment (and other things) kept together, you need to add a category at the bottom of each page that indicates that page belongs to your sourcebook.<br />
Hopefully all this makes sense, as it is important. If you don't understand anything here, you need to ask someone about it before you continue work on your sourcebook. I don't really want to help you with the grunt work of moving pages and whatnot, but I'd be willing to teach you how to do things, if you need me to. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 03:50, 20 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Tiered bonuses for racial powers ==<br />
<br />
Hi Axl, thanks for contacting me!<br />
<br />
I'll explain further. Attack powers usually have the Implement or Weapon keywords. Therefore they benefit from enchantment bonuses, and are ''expected'' to have an enchantment bonus at later levels. Furthermore, Weapon attacks will benefit from a proficiency bonus (although they normally target AC).<br />
<br />
Racial attack powers will most often ''not'' have the Implement or Weapon keywords (since they are inherent abilities) and therefore need some attack bonus to keep up with enchantment bonuses. For example, the Dragonborn's breath weapon has +2 at heroic, +4 at paragon, +6 at epic.<br />
<br />
So no, you don't ''have'' to have the tiered bonus, but don't expect the power to still be effective by late Heroic. I hope that this is useful for you, please contact me if you have any queries about my other comments. Thanks! [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 10:24, 22 January 2012 (MST)<br />

Concerning your comments on traps, the DMG says that traps can indeed be Solo. The Soul Gem is the only example provided, but the text indicates that they should be complex and require a skill challenge in order to defeat. Minion traps are difficult for me to imageine. When i think of minions, i think "one-hit-kill", and traps cannot be killed, in the traditional sense. One way you might make them "miniony" is to make their damamge (if any) constant; such as 5 fire damage rather than 1d10 fire damage, or similar. Otherwise, they might as well just be easier traps or have several of them compose a larger trap? I know i've seen a trap with several pressure plates and points of danger. Hope this helps, albiet perhaps a little late in coming. [[User:Techpriest|Techpriest]] 17:05, 3 October 2009 (MDT)<br />

== Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus Topics (Race, Feats, Powers, etc) ==<br />
<br />
Hello Marasmusine, <br />
<br />
As I read on your user talk page here you are interested in improving and expanding all user created races and their relative content, and I am exceptionally glad you contacted me via [[User talk:Argent Fatalis|my user talk page]] regarding the content I am developing. I have little experience with D&D and have but a few fragments of what is mixed 4e and 3.5e (and I believe even earlier content like 3e) in my possession. However, I have several concepts and ideas that I would like to see played out and experimented with. Many of the balance issues come from lack of experience, or from design ideals with the [[Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Maioribus race]], such as a philosophy of equilibrium, where some aspects such as magic are exchanged for greater, and more natural melee prowess, along side ideals of sacrifice; playing a Large creature alone seems to come with reasonable and expected penalty, but a Quadruped on top of this offers even greater weaknesses, and benefits, be them game mechanics and more importantly, roleplaying encounters.<br />
<br />
Seeing as you are much more well versed in D&D than I, I again appreciate your notification and appropriate flagging of the pages in question. I would like to ask for your assistance in discussion and refinement of both the Sentient Smilodon as a race, but also aid with its inherent mechanical issues (Large quadrupedal Beast, lack of conventional weapons, magical void), to create a powerful, yet well balanced race that differs from the normal format.<br />
<br />
--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] 13:08, 11 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
Hello again Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
Thank you for your [[User talk:Argent Fatalis|quick reply]] to my message here on your talk page. Hoping that I might better be able to supply general concepts and ideals for the Sentient Smilodon as a race to you, I have [[Talk:Talk:Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|edited the talk page for the race]]. Regarding the changes, I absolutely not mind any edits made if they could be discussed with myself, primarily for the reasoning that I would like to know what is considered "in bounds" and or what the issue is as a learning exercise. I have absolutely no issues with commentary, critique, modification and the like, but would rather avoid having to completely reformat functions in the future. That said, I believe many of the issues of balance (such as Mortal Bite and Maim) come from my lack of understanding of 4e scaling, and in some part, miscommunication and, given the raw amount of information I've crafted thus far, some English failures or sentences not worded correctly. I hope that on the Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus' talk page that I've better explained things that may not have been clear, worded poorly, or are just not obvious. For example, Darkvision seems to be convoluted in the area of true "night vision" and "pitch black vision", where in the case of Maioribus, it is simply the ability to see with minimal light, but function normally in day time, typical of other felines.<br />
<br />
A "Design Declaimer" I believe is a must, as the whole idea, while I believe would be just fine to any party, I admit is certainly not for everyone, and I make numerous references to Dungeon Master discretion for exceptions within the talk page information, which could lead to significant problems in some scenarios, so caution is absolutely advised.<br />
<br />
There are indeed images of the closest relative to this otherwise fictional creature, in the actual (but now extinct) ''Smilodon populator'', along with its relatives including the famous ''Smilodon fatalis''. I can certainly acquire a picture.<br />
<br />
--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] 15:35, 11 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
Hello Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
I noted you made mention of a possibility of a Race-Class restriction in the [[Talk:Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Smilodon Maioribus talk page]], where certain Powers (and some Feats) could be disassociated from Racial restrictions and implemented into a specific class, in order to solve major mechanical flaws, such as weapons, armor, Power damage, Feat scaling, etc. This idea had come to me in earlier times, but I was unsure as to the rules regarding the idea of making Maioribus limited to one (or a handful) of Race specific classes, which would have the specific features (outside of explicitly racial, such as Large, Quadruped, Beast, etc) contained within them. Is this reasonable possibility? While I can believe some users who may review the race will be disappointed, I equally believe a Disclaimer could be included stating that the race may not function well for all 4e Campaigns, and that it would be up to a Dungeon Master's decision if he or she would allow the Greater Smilodon race, and additionally, deviation from its specific Class-Race type(s), so as not to rule out possibility.<br />
<br />
With this, I again appreciate your assistance and patience with the construction, refinement, balancing and ultimate publishing of [[Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Smilodon Maioribus]] on the Dungeons and Dragons Wiki.<br />
<br />
--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] 12:53, 12 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
Hello Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
I've made several adjustments to the [[Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Smilodon Maioribus page]] including the addition of the Race-Class and its functions, such as Setup, Feral Challenge, and the migration of Hemorrhaging Wounds and Mortal Bite to that area. I would like your opinion on its current status and possible approval should it seem solid and well rounded before we progress to modifying the Racial Feats (and ultimately creating Class Feats). One of the former Racial Feats, [[Intensity (4e Feat)|Intensity]] has been modified accordingly to 4e Standards (instead of using 3e and 3.5e).<br />
<br />
When possible, if you could re-review the entirety of the Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus race to see if I missed any details or if it includes portions that are no longer applicable. Thank you for your continued assistance, Marasmusine.<br />
<br />
--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] 10:13, 16 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
Hello Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
As I write this I must inform you that I have been called to duty, starting this Monday, January 23rd 2012, and thus will be out of contact for some time, likely several months. I write this message to you to express my sincerest thanks for your astounding efforts in not only editing and improving all of the 4e content, but namely my personal projects, which you extended your assistance too in full. I truly and honestly thank you for this, and hope that you continue to provide support in this manner to others, like me, who may come and wish to participate on the D&D Wiki.<br />
<br />
With my topic of Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus now on hold for several months, as I will likely have limited access to the Internet, I give you permission to edit it, keeping in the spirit of its design and overall feeling, as you see fit. I hope that if you choose to do so, that you find great success and satisfaction in doing so. I will certainly return as soon as possible, and wish to speak with you again in the future.<br />
<br />
With best regards and thanks,<br />

:Hi Silkverkin, I'm flattered that you think that I might know! I can't see any formal review request system, so can only suggest the main talk page, or asking individual editors. I'd be happy to look at it myself, although it's been a few years since I've played 3.5 so I may not be able to suggest much. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 10:57, 22 January 2012 (MST)<br />
::I suppose I could ask Green Dragon about it, to be sure. If there isn't one already, maybe we (the wiki as a whole) should start one.

Hey. First off, thanks for helping me balance my 4e race.

:Yes, and you are asked to. I tried to make the wording on the [[Template:Reviewing Template]] understandable in this regard. For example, it says "''When the mechanics have been changed so that this template is no longer applicable please remove this template.''"

I have absolutely no issues with commentary, critique, modification and the like, but would rather avoid having to completely reformat functions in the future. That said, I believe many of the issues of balance (such as Mortal Bite and Maim) come from my lack of understanding of 4e scaling, and in some part, miscommunication and, given the raw amount of information I've crafted thus far, some English failures or sentences not worded correctly. I hope that on the Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus' talk page that I've better explained things that may not have been clear, worded poorly, or are just not obvious. For example, Darkvision seems to be convoluted in the area of true "night vision" and "pitch black vision", where in the case of Maioribus, it is simply the ability to see with minimal light, but function normally in day time, typical of other felines.<br />
<br />
A "Design Declaimer" I believe is a must, as the whole idea, while I believe would be just fine to any party, I admit is certainly not for everyone, and I make numerous references to Dungeon Master discretion for exceptions within the talk page information, which could lead to significant problems in some scenarios, so caution is absolutely advised.<br />
<br />
There are indeed images of the closest relative to this otherwise fictional creature, in the actual (but now extinct) ''Smilodon populator'', along with its relatives including the famous ''Smilodon fatalis''. I can certainly acquire a picture.<br />

Hello Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
I noted you made mention of a possibility of a Race-Class restriction in the [[Talk:Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Smilodon Maioribus talk page]], where certain Powers (and some Feats) could be disassociated from Racial restrictions and implemented into a specific class, in order to solve major mechanical flaws, such as weapons, armor, Power damage, Feat scaling, etc. This idea had come to me in earlier times, but I was unsure as to the rules regarding the idea of making Maioribus limited to one (or a handful) of Race specific classes, which would have the specific features (outside of explicitly racial, such as Large, Quadruped, Beast, etc) contained within them. Is this reasonable possibility? While I can believe some users who may review the race will be disappointed, I equally believe a Disclaimer could be included stating that the race may not function well for all 4e Campaigns, and that it would be up to a Dungeon Master's decision if he or she would allow the Greater Smilodon race, and additionally, deviation from its specific Class-Race type(s), so as not to rule out possibility.<br />
<br />
With this, I again appreciate your assistance and patience with the construction, refinement, balancing and ultimate publishing of [[Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Smilodon Maioribus]] on the Dungeons and Dragons Wiki.<br />

Hello Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
I've made several adjustments to the [[Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Smilodon Maioribus page]] including the addition of the Race-Class and its functions, such as Setup, Feral Challenge, and the migration of Hemorrhaging Wounds and Mortal Bite to that area. I would like your opinion on its current status and possible approval should it seem solid and well rounded before we progress to modifying the Racial Feats (and ultimately creating Class Feats). One of the former Racial Feats, [[Intensity (4e Feat)|Intensity]] has been modified accordingly to 4e Standards (instead of using 3e and 3.5e).<br />
<br />
When possible, if you could re-review the entirety of the Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus race to see if I missed any details or if it includes portions that are no longer applicable. Thank you for your continued assistance, Marasmusine.<br />

<div>== Welcome to D&D Wiki! == <br />
<br />
;Welcome!<br />
Hello {{PAGENAME}}, and welcome to D&D Wiki. I hope you have been enjoying this site, and I hope you have been finding the information here on D&D Wiki useful. I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well) here on D&D Wiki along with a couple other people who make up "The Face" of D&D Wiki. An entire list of admins can be found [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Special:Listusers/sysop|limit=5000}} here].<br />
;Questions:<br />
If you have any question about D&D Wiki, D&D, formatting on D&D Wiki, what day today is, or whatever, an admin will, many times, give the best answer. Please feel free to ask any admin any question ([http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Green_Dragon&action=edit&section=new ask me a question!]).<br />
;Formatting<br />
Formatting on D&D Wiki (or any wiki for that matter) can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Help:Editing] on Wikipedia (or even their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction Introduction] page). This will explain the basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Again, if you have any questions about formatting on D&D Wiki please ask them as, I imagine, anybody will be more than happy to help you get them answered.<br />
;Community<br />
A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. Most discussions take place on content talk pages, however please feel free to walk into [[Special:TheTavern|The Tavern]] (our local chat room) and talk to some fellow D&D Wikians. Anyway, on D&D Wiki, possibly since discussions are never deleted, people try to be nice. This means please follow Wikipedia's guidelines on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility Civility] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etiquette Etiquette] when discussing anything. And, if an argument does arise, please use Wikipedia's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution Dispute Resolution] to make sure everyone comes out happy. Also, on a pretty different note, to ensure people know who posted what, please sign your name after a post with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) or by clicking on the signature icon. [[Image:Signature_icon.png]] This will automatically produce your name and the date.

Concerning your comments on traps, the DMG says that traps can indeed be Solo. The Soul Gem is the only example provided, but the text indicates that they should be complex and require a skill challenge in order to defeat. Minion traps are difficult for me to imageine. When i think of minions, i think "one-hit-kill", and traps cannot be killed, in the traditional sense. One way you might make them "miniony" is to make their damamge (if any) constant; such as 5 fire damage rather than 1d10 fire damage, or similar. Otherwise, they might as well just be easier traps or have several of them compose a larger trap? I know i've seen a trap with several pressure plates and points of danger. Hope this helps, albiet perhaps a little late in coming. [[User:Techpriest|Techpriest]] 17:05, 3 October 2009 (MDT)<br />
:Hah, here is your belated reply. I think that the effects of "minion traps" would be so minor, that they could instead be treated as a terrain effect. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] 15:14, 8 July 2011 (MDT)<br />

I noticed your comment on [[Arcane Tank (4e Optimized Character Build)]] about how that table looked like it does not belong in 4e. I actually made that table based off the 4e tables in the books, however any advice or comments you have about that table would be appreciated so I can improve it. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 14:55, 28 December 2011 (MST)<br />

== Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus Topics (Race, Feats, Powers, etc) ==<br />
<br />
Hello Marasmusine, <br />
<br />
As I read on your user talk page here you are interested in improving and expanding all user created races and their relative content, and I am exceptionally glad you contacted me via [[User talk:Argent Fatalis|my user talk page]] regarding the content I am developing. I have little experience with D&D and have but a few fragments of what is mixed 4e and 3.5e (and I believe even earlier content like 3e) in my possession. However, I have several concepts and ideas that I would like to see played out and experimented with. Many of the balance issues come from lack of experience, or from design ideals with the [[Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Maioribus race]], such as a philosophy of equilibrium, where some aspects such as magic are exchanged for greater, and more natural melee prowess, along side ideals of sacrifice; playing a Large creature alone seems to come with reasonable and expected penalty, but a Quadruped on top of this offers even greater weaknesses, and benefits, be them game mechanics and more importantly, roleplaying encounters.<br />
<br />
Seeing as you are much more well versed in D&D than I, I again appreciate your notification and appropriate flagging of the pages in question. I would like to ask for your assistance in discussion and refinement of both the Sentient Smilodon as a race, but also aid with its inherent mechanical issues (Large quadrupedal Beast, lack of conventional weapons, magical void), to create a powerful, yet well balanced race that differs from the normal format.<br />
<br />
--[[User:Argent Fatalis|Argent Fatalis]] 13:08, 11 January 2012 (MST)<br />
<br />
Hello again Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
Thank you for your [[User talk:Argent Fatalis|quick reply]] to my message here on your talk page. Hoping that I might better be able to supply general concepts and ideals for the Sentient Smilodon as a race to you, I have [[Talk:Talk:Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|edited the talk page for the race]]. Regarding the changes, I absolutely not mind any edits made if they could be discussed with myself, primarily for the reasoning that I would like to know what is considered "in bounds" and or what the issue is as a learning exercise. I have absolutely no issues with commentary, critique, modification and the like, but would rather avoid having to completely reformat functions in the future. That said, I believe many of the issues of balance (such as Mortal Bite and Maim) come from my lack of understanding of 4e scaling, and in some part, miscommunication and, given the raw amount of information I've crafted thus far, some English failures or sentences not worded correctly. I hope that on the Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus' talk page that I've better explained things that may not have been clear, worded poorly, or are just not obvious. For example, Darkvision seems to be convoluted in the area of true "night vision" and "pitch black vision", where in the case of Maioribus, it is simply the ability to see with minimal light, but function normally in day time, typical of other felines.<br />
<br />
A "Design Declaimer" I believe is a must, as the whole idea, while I believe would be just fine to any party, I admit is certainly not for everyone, and I make numerous references to Dungeon Master discretion for exceptions within the talk page information, which could lead to significant problems in some scenarios, so caution is absolutely advised.<br />
<br />
There are indeed images of the closest relative to this otherwise fictional creature, in the actual (but now extinct) ''Smilodon populator'', along with its relatives including the famous ''Smilodon fatalis''. I can certainly acquire a picture.<br />

Hello Marasmusine,<br />
<br />
I noted you made mention of a possibility of a Race-Class restriction in the [[Talk:Sentient, Smilodon Maioribus (4e Race)|Smilodon Maioribus talk page]], where certain Powers (and some Feats) could be disassociated from Racial restrictions and implemented into a specific class, in order to solve major mechanical flaws, such as weapons, armor, Power damage, Feat scaling, etc. This idea had come to me in earlier times, but I was unsure as to the rules regarding the idea of making Maioribus limited to one (or a handful) of Race specific classes, which would have the specific features (outside of explicitly racial, such as Large, Quadruped, Beast, etc) contained within them. Is this reasonable possibility? While I can believe some users who may review the race will be disappointed, I equally believe a Disclaimer could be included stating that the race may not function well for all 4e Campaigns, and that it would be up to a Dungeon Master's decision if he or she would allow the Greater Smilodon race, and additionally, deviation from its specific Class-Race type(s), so as not to rule out possibility.<br />

I would like your opinion on its current status and possible approval should it seem solid and well rounded before we progress to modifying the Racial Feats (and ultimately creating Class Feats). One of the former Racial Feats, [[Intensity (4e Feat)|Intensity]] has been modified accordingly to 4e Standards (instead of using 3e and 3.5e).<br />

Play a Twili if you want...<br />
* To be able to copy other people's demeanor.<br />
* To be tall and inspiring.<br />
* To be a member of a race that favors the Barbarian, Bard, Monk, Rogue, Sorcerer, and Warden classes.<br />
<br />
=== Physical Qualities ===<br />
<br />
Twili are tall people, even the females. They reach maturity when they're 20 years old. They have a white coloration on their skin with black on it. Their hair is either red or orange. They are usually thin, and their eyes can have a coloration of yellow, red, or orange. Royal Twili have only their irises the color of red, not their entire eyes. They also have one glowing blueish-green marking on their skin. They have longer features in places like their neck and limbs, being stretched more than a human's limbs and neck. They die at around 95 years of age.<br />

A celestial being, hiding in the midst of mankind. That is a Regon. Regons are descended from gods, no matter what their alignment. Regons are born on this earth, and, as such, have no memory of their past life, but their celestial or evil state remains. Regons are few and far in between, rarely meeting with another Regon with the same alignment. They are strangers to this world. Feared by those who sense their alignment and their power. Often, Regons are shunned from this world. Regons play a role, a very important role. They must defeat the evil inside of them and destroy the greatest threat: "The Chained God".<br />
<br />
Play a Regon if you want...<br />
* To be a Demi-God.<br />
* To have a certain air that defines you as a celestial (or demonic) being.<br />
* To be a member of a race that favors any class.<br />
<br />
=== Physical Qualities ===<br />
<br />
Regons look just like the base race, but somehow seem more celestial. Their eyes seem to hold more light, their step seems to be lighter, and their countanance seems to be more friendly. Hair and eye colors are never black. There are few Tiefling and Drow Regons, but some are, somehow. One seems to appear every century, never meeting another Regon like themselves. Regons also seem to grow faster, both physically and mentally. Regons are stunningly handsome or beautiful. A fallen Regon (or a Regon from an evil power) still retains his faster growth, but seems more demonic than angelic. Regons mature at the age of 9 (at that age, they look like they're 18). When Regons are a certain age, they look like they're twice as old. When they're 15, their aging slows down, making them look like they're 25. They stay looking like 25 year olds until their actual age becomes 25. Then they age like an elf. Regons die at the same age as elves.<br />
<br />
=== Playing a Regon ===<br />
<br />
Celestial Regons are always naturally polite. Even the Avatar of Kords. Halflings seem to be less polite, but the rest are. Regons believe in a fair fight, always abstaining from using poison. They are honorable and trustworthy, never telling a lie. They are kind, especially to children, often giving them treats. In short, they are all that is good. However, there is a dark side to them. Just as their good has increased, the evil tries harder to corrupt them. A Regon that has fallen is cruel, unkind, untrustworthy, and use every advantage they have.<br />
<br />
'''Regon Characteristics:''' polite, honorable, trustworthy, kind, inward struggle, cruel, unkind, untrustworthy, unhonorable<br />
<br />
'''Male Names:''' Same as base race.<br />
<br />
'''Female Names:''' Same as base race.<br />
<br />
=== Regon Adventurers ===<br />
<br />
Three sample Regon adventurers are described below.<br />
<br />
Ghesh, a Dragonborn paladin, born, and follower, of Kord. He was driven to becoming a paladin when he found out his celestial nature. Even before he joined, he always was helping out other people in their time of need. Now that he's a paladin, he struggles more against the darkness within him. The darkness, now sensing that it might lose its subject, has been trying harder to corrupt him. He journies through the land, helping those who will accept it, which has been becoming more common as his fame spreads. He still wants to defeat his advarsary, Vecna. Vecna was responsible for Ghesh killing his best friend. His best friend had turned to Vecna to become a lich, forcing him to fight Ghesh.<br />
<br />
Therai is a Regon Tiefling Rogue/Warlock. He has never realized the nature within him, mearly using its power to help him out. His parents had died before he was very old, leaving him to survive the world by himself. He picked up skills from the other thiefs in the slum that he lived in, but never found out what the symbol on his cheek was. He can often be found mugging people, often getting out of a tough predicament because of his symbol. His skills are beyond just a normal thief and not just because of his power, but he has made a pact with the fey, granting him additional skills.<br />
<br />
Varis, a Regon Elf Ranger,<br />

<hr />
<div>== Welcome to D&D Wiki! ==<br />
<br />
;Welcome!<br />
Hello {{PAGENAME}} and welcome to D&D Wiki. I hope you have been enjoying D&D Wiki and I hope you have been finding the information here useful. Before you start contributing it is recommended you make sure your [[Special:Preferences|user preferences]] match your preferences. I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well). Everything relating to admins can be found [[Meta Pages#Administration|here]].<br />
;Questions:<br />
If you have any questions about a specific page please ask it on that pages talk page. All other questions should be asked to another; user, admin, or me, the owner ([http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Green_Dragon&action=edit&section=new ask me a question]).<br />
;Formatting<br />
Formatting on D&D Wiki (or any wiki for that matter) can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Help:Editing] on Wikipedia (or even their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction Introduction] page). This will explain basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Again, if you have any questions about formatting on D&D Wiki please ask them as, I imagine, anybody will be more than happy to help you get them answered.<br />
;Community<br />
A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. Most discussions take place on content talk pages, however please feel free to ask specific D&D-related questions on [[DnD Discussion]]s. Anyway, possibly since discussions are never deleted, people try to be nice. This means follow Wikipedia's guidelines on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility civility] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etiquette etiquette] when discussing anything. Also, on a pretty different note, to ensure people know who posted what, please sign your name after a post with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) or by clicking on the signature icon ([[Image:Signature_icon.png]]). This will automatically produce your name and the date. Anyway, I hope you come to enjoy D&D Wiki and the community and welcome again, you are now a D&D Wikian. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:08, 30 May 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Few things ==<br />
<br />
First of all, you can sign your posts by hitting the button above the edit window, or else by adding four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).<br />
<br />
Secondly, make sure you are only adding content for which you are comfortable to have other people editing. Every time you edit a page there is a very clear warning that says "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I've noticed on many (all?) of your pages you have placed warnings saying "No one can edit this page", and that's simply not true. ''Anyone'' can edit your page, that's the whole point of a wiki.<br />
<br />
Hope that clears things up, [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 22:08, 2 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Is this a response to my Fell Knight 4e Power Request? Or is this for signiture on my creations?<br />
<br />
:Also, I really don't want anyone editing my stuff, because that's the way I want it to be. If someone says, "Hey, it looks unstable." And points out stuff, ''I'' will change it.<br />
<br />
:Thanks anyway though.<br />

<br />
::I just meant every time you write something on a talk page and want to sign it. If you use four tildes instead of manually typing "Axl", it will put a link to your userpage as well as the date and time of your post. It just makes it easier to follow later on.<br />

::As to someone editing your stuff, I see you asked Green Dragon. We'll see what he says, but the GNU license simply doesn't work that way. It doesn't matter if that's not what you want, unfortunately. Now it's proper etiquette to ask before you make significant changes, but you simply can't expect someone to ask you before changing *anything*.

:::::I'm going to chime in here to add something. While it's true anyone ''can'' edit anything, most users like to maintain some sense of ownership over their content. While this may be a false sense of ownership, it's usually respected. Few people will go in and edit your races or classes to make it what they want. If anyone has suggestions for content or balance they will likely just add a balance template or leave you a message on the discussion page. I wouldn't worry about people editing your content. I've uploaded some of my own work here and other people making edits has never been an issue. Plus, if they ever make drastic changes you don't like, there's always the revert button. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 00:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

|secondaryattack=Attack stat against the secondary target. Delete if it isn't used.<br />
|secondaryattackextra=<br />

==I'd like to hear from you==<br />
So you may or may not know this, but Dandwiki used to have an IRC chatroom where contributors could talk in real time and get help from one another. While the chatroom was eventually removed, I'm polling the community to see if we would like to have one again. Here is where you come in. If you have some time (it shouldn't take more than a few minutes), stop by [[Discussion:Re-opening_the_tavern%3F_What_does_the_community_think%3F|the discussion]] and post your thoughts.

::Also, don't just recreate pages if you created them with the wrong name. See up at the top that button that says "move"? Use that instead.

::::{| class="{{d20}}"<br />
! rowspan="2" | 1st column <br />
! rowspan="2" | 2nd column<br />
! rowspan="2" | 3rd column<br />
|+<br />
|- class="{{Odd-Even|{{#var:odd}}}}"<br />

::::You can just copy and paste that coding and change the text in each box. To add more columns put this text directly below the previous one:<br />
<br />
::::! rowspan="2" | column name<br />

::::::Sorry, yeah, I completely forgot about this. I didn't come back to see if you had questions. I see Vrail answered your tables question. If you have any more questions about tables, my [[User:Badger/sandbox3|new user guide]] (as of about 3 minutes ago) has some info about how to make [[User:Badger/sandbox3/tables|tables]]. The guide also mentions how to work with sandboxes, and a few other things you may be interested in.

<br />
:--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 16:25, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::No, lol. A tag is the classifier after the name of the page. i.e. [[Knight (3.5e Class)]] where the (3.5e Class) would be the tag. Or [[Generating Ability Scores (3.5e Variant Rule)]] where the (3.5e Variant Rule) would be the tag. It should say what the tag is supposed to be when your naming the page in the box for the preload. Does that make sense? --[[User:Vrail|Vrail]] 16:54, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Yeah, that makes sense. Has that not been showing up? Actually, are you talking about the stuff in [[User:Axl/My Sandbox| my sandbox]]? Can you list the stuff that needs the tags?<br />

<br />
::::Ya, I am talking about your sandbox. I realize that it's a sandbox and the stuff there is not actually on the wiki yet, but I'm just a little bit OCD about that stuff. ''':p''' However I'm sure it would be fine to leave it how it is seeing as it's just sandbox work. ''':)''' --[[User:Vrail|Vrail]] 17:54, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

:::::Yeah, I'll fix that later. But thanks though.<br />
<br />
:::::--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 18:03, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::::Actually, your "Future Equipment" page isn't in your sandbox. Like I said above, you want to include "User:Axl/" before the page name. So your sandbox became "User:Axl/My Sandbox" and your future weapons should become "User:Axl/Future Weapons" not "Future Weapons". It is important to get that sort of thing right, as we don't need any more half finished ideas on the wiki than we already have. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 19:02, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::::I just went through and moved everything to where it belongs. Since you are making new pages often, you'll need to get this right. If you want your work to be in your sandbox, the link should be <nowiki> [[User:Axl/Page Name]] </nowiki> which will show up as [[User:Axl/Page Name]]. If you don't want to display "User:Axl" in front of everything, and I don't blame you, write your links like this: <nowiki> [[User:Axl/Page Name|Display Name]]</nowiki> and it will show up as a link that displays whatever you wrote, regardless of the actual page name. If you have any questions please ask before making another five pages that have to be moved, redirected, and then deleted. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 19:16, 18 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Your Sourcebook ==<br />
<br />
Alright, so you're writing a sourcebook for 4e future. Very Cool. However, you aren't doing it quite right. Every page in your Sourcebook needs to be a subpage of the main page, not a new page. What I mean is your sourcebook is named "DnD 4.0 Future" so the URL for that page should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)". The URL for your page "Introduction" should be "http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction". Is that clear? You can still link them like any other page, by putting "DnD_4.0_Future_(3.5e_Sourcebook)/Introduction" in the double brackets. What you've done right now is made several random pages floating around the wiki that aren't where they belong. Let me know if you need any more help. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:(Groan). Okay. I'll just change all the links to fit the new page name. By the way, it's a 4e Sourcebook. Why's there the 3.5e Sourcebook thing?<br />
<br />
:--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 21:52, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I copied the URL from a 3.5e Sourcebook, and didn't think to change it. Yours should say 4e, not 3.5e. Sorry. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 22:01, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::That's interesting that you got it from a 3.5e thing. Has someone else already done something with almost the exact same name as mine?<br />
<br />
:::--[[User:Axl|Axl]] 21:58, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::No, I just pulled the URL from Races of War (one of the most complete and perfect sourcebooks you'll come across) and changed the name, not the edition. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 22:01, 7 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Fun fact of the day ==<br />
<br />
I don't know if you've realized this, but did you know that there's a move button up near the top of the page? This can be used to move an incorrectly-titled page to use the correct title. [[User:Jazzman831|Jazz]][[User talk:Jazzman831|Man]] 23:24, 16 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

== 4e Equipment ==<br />
<br />
Since you asked Green Dragon, and I'm not sure if you watch his talk page I thought I'd let you know I've started working on some 4e preloads. here is the [[User_talk:Green_Dragon#Add_new_equipment.3F|link]]. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 21:09, 17 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Problems with your Sourcebook==<br />
Alright, so it seems you're having some trouble understanding what your sourcebook is, and what it isn't.<br />
# Your sourcebook is a complete set of variant rules and modifications to an existing DnD Edition (4e, in your case)<br />
# Your sourcebook is written by you. As this is a wiki others may contribute, but 99% of the work is yours.<br />
# Your sourcebook is still 4e. Because of this, all the equipment needs to be labeled (4e Equipment) not (4e Future Equipment). The same is true for Races, Classes, Powers, and whatever else you write.<br />
Ok then, now that we've cleared that up, here's what we have to do:<br />
#Every piece of equipment you wrote that is labeled (4e Future Equipment) needs to be '''moved''' to (4e Equipment). The same is true for all your races and classes and everything.<br />
#To have all your 4e Future equipment (and other things) kept together, you need to add a category at the bottom of each page that indicates that page belongs to your sourcebook.<br />
Hopefully all this makes sense, as it is important. If you don't understand anything here, you need to ask someone about it before you continue work on your sourcebook. I don't really want to help you with the grunt work of moving pages and whatnot, but I'd be willing to teach you how to do things, if you need me to. --[[User:Badger|Badger]] 03:50, 20 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
