[edit] Can Druids Wear Studded Leather?
heyo, Corvus here :3. got that lovely maybe automated welcome message xP rofl and i DO have a random question. My group and I have argued nonstop for a week now over whether studded leather counts as metal armor... and thus whether or not druids can wear it your thoughts would help XD. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Corvus0 (talk • contribs) 13:41, 3 November 2008 (MDT).

[edit] Problem with CO Showing Up
hi i posted a optimized character build and i was wondering how do i get my name on it to let people know that i posted it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Elmo (talk • contribs) 13:37, 5 November 2008 (MDT). Please sign your posts!
- What's the name of this CO? It's all based on categories, so if you could supply me a link or the name of your CO I would be more then willing to take a look at it. --Green Dragon 13:53, 5 November 2008 (MST)
[edit] My Nomination
Was that meant to be a re-nomination, just now? The only reason I quit in the first place was that I knew that my contributions as an admin would be far below what you said you wanted. However, at this point in time I have school pretty much together, and I could probably take on that extra bit of responsibility now. If you still feel like I'd make a good admin, I'd be glad to give it another shot. --Daniel Draco 13:41, 5 November 2008 (MST)
- Thoughts? --Daniel Draco 05:39, 20 November 2008 (MST)
- Oh, sorry. I accidentally added your nomination again because I got it mixed up with the LD one. Sorry. Although if you feel that you have school under control enough, and would like to become an admin once again, I would most definitely support you. --Green Dragon 05:53, 20 November 2008 (MST)
- Alright, thanks :) I'll nominate myself now. --Daniel Draco 06:07, 20 November 2008 (MST)
- Though it occurs to me that I don't know what to title the new nomination page... --Daniel Draco 06:09, 20 November 2008 (MST)
- Lol, I know. I have been thinking about the name of the page for a bit now (that was part of the reason it took forever to get back to this discussion, the rest was that I have been playing StarCraft a bit recently), however do you think adding a two at the end would good? Then it would not interfere with the backslash, and it would distinguish it from your old nomination. --Green Dragon 06:18, 20 November 2008 (MST)
- That works. Don't have time to do it now though, I'm at school and I've got to get to class soon. If you (or anyone else reading this, for that matter) would like to nominate me, feel free to do so. Otherwise, I'll do it later today. --Daniel Draco 06:26, 20 November 2008 (MST)
[edit] Editing
Dear Admin,
I hope I'm not being too forward, but I've been starting to edit people's entries, specifically the races for 4th Homebrew. I may be coming off a little too hasty, but I've been studying the races and the overall goal of 4th, and some of them have come off as a little overpowered. I hope no one is getting too mad, but I'll continue to trying making helpful edits that bring both balance and flavor to the entries here on D&D Wiki. It can be fun coming up with powerful races, but it can lessen the experience if they have a character that's kicking more ass than everyone else. D&D doesn't have any set rules, but my months of study have helped me find some of the guide lines that can help to make a balanced character.
Sincerely, Manawolf
- The best is pointing the flaw in the article on the talk page. Editing without permission is a little cheesy.--Lord Dhazriel 18:25, 6 November 2008 (MST)
[edit] Help!
Do you know how to use this template: {{Anypagename}} (the one of the paladin's page)... to get a specific section? If not then would it be hard for me to make one? --Sabre070 01:44, 7 November 2008 (MST)
- I cannot find and do not know of any template by that name. A link would be appreciated. --Green Dragon 13:10, 8 November 2008 (MST)
- By putting a colon in front of the page name, you can include a page directly using curly braces. ie {{:User:Green Dragon}} would include Green Dragon's user page directly. Try it out in the sandbox. --Aarnott 20:07, 8 November 2008 (MST)
- I was wondering if it could be used to get a section of page? EG. If I just wanted to take this "Help!" section. --Sabre070 20:13, 8 November 2008 (MST)
- If you surround the section you want in <includeonly> then it should do what you want. Take a look at Gravity Warrior. On the bottom it has an included NPC, however only the stat block is included. This should help answer your questions. --Green Dragon 02:01, 9 November 2008 (MST)
[edit] Vacation
Hello all. In about a months time I will be taking a three month vacation around Europe. Unfortunately, during this vacation, I will not be able to log onto D&D Wiki very often (however, I will be bringing my laptop — I just am not sure how often I will have an internet connection). To make it so new admins can be elected, and to keep D&D Wiki running smoothly, I have appointed Sledged and Dmilewski as Bureaucrats, Check users, ipcheckers, and patrollers. --Green Dragon 10:43, 10 November 2008 (MST)
- Time for more pro-Sledged propaganda! Enjoy your vacation. I hope to be in Spain half a year from now myself. —Sledged (talk | admin talk) 20:18, 10 November 2008 (MST)
- I'll do what I can. --Dmilewski 20:39, 11 November 2008 (MST)
- Enjoy your vacation AND have fun. --Sabre070 20:40, 11 November 2008 (MST)
[edit] Templates
I added the '3e description' to each of the templates, but the description doesn't show in the templates page. Does it take time to refresh the descriptions? Or did I do something wrong? --Sabre070 13:20, 12 November 2008 (MST)
- Disregard this message, I read your reply. --Sabre070 13:22, 12 November 2008 (MST)
[edit] Advice
Months ago I went to Eldritch, but I see he has stepped down and is infrequent, so I thought I'd come to you. We've just recently wrapped up a three year game in our home world, and I really enjoy the setting and have been working on adding it to the wiki for others to use or adapt as they wish. Its listed under Valgora (DnD Campaign Setting). I've just completed the subarticles for two of the three continents and am working on the third at the moment. I'm trying to make it easy to read and understand for the common D&D enthusiast reading the wiki. Just wondering if you think it makes sense or any changes you would make if it were you. Thanks.

[edit] Favored of Lolth Questions
Hi, my name is Travis. I've been playing various drow for a long time, and I recently decided to look for something a little different, which is when I stumbled across your Favored of Lolth page. I do have a few questions though, if you have the time to spare. For one, when in hybrid form, a Favored takes up four squares; do they actually morph into a large size, or are they just more horizontal. Two, I thought any drow based character learned the drow sign language, so shouldn't that be an automatic language? Also, I had a few suggestions/requests. If the Favored is a were-creature, could it have a venomous attack to 'infect' other characters, at least drow, as a werewolf does? Could they also have tremorsense, as other spiders do? Also, do the extra eyes proffer any benefit, such as a bonus on spot checks? Furthermore, while the Favored gains claws, does she have any special unarmed attack? Another idea I had while looking over your hybrid form was to give the Favored a fully transformed form. A monstrous spider of medium or large size would seem appropriate. Since the Favored are such adamant worshippers, I would also consider allowing them Weapon Proficiency with whips, Lolth's favored weapon. That said, I have one easy/stupid question, which is; if used as a template to transform a drow into a were-spider, since the drow has many of the same traits (adding to its own LA +2), would the LA be just a +3 total, instead of stacking a +4 on top? Thanks for your consideration, sorry this was so long.
[edit] Sohei
Hello,
I am adding a Sohei Class type. It is in 4e format. I did not realize that this site separated by edition. If you would please move this I think it would help prospecting 4e-ers. I tried to move it on my own, but failed.
Thanks,
Eazy
[edit] 4e Drider
Dear Green Dragon,
I've been looking over your Drider entry for 4th edition classes, and think you did some things right, but some things were a little off. I have edited it a little, and some of which mainly for balancing issues, others because it was a little off. I cut down the ability score to just a DEX and CHA because just giving the choice of any of the three physical ability bonuses makes the class overpowered. Also, it made more since for the web power to restrain the foe, because that is what the normal drider does, but having the playable one only last for one round seems like more than enough to balance it out since the monster version lasts until a successful saving throw, not to mention the less range and standard action makes it equal to the drow's Darkfire power. Keep up the good work, but just remember that 4th edition is all about balance.

- Just as an FYI, it is normally good form to discuss any ideas you have about an entry on the articles "discussion" page. That allows the original author a chance to decide if proposed changes are still in line with their vision of the creation, or not. The author can then make any (if any) changes to their creations. If you think something is badly written or incomplete, and it appears to have been abandoned by the author, you can always "adopt" it, but you should make a concentrated effort to be sure it has been orphaned (and I believe there is a formal list of pages looking to be "adopted"). But if the article is "owned" and your ideas are a huge change to how something is written you may just want to create a "Variant" version of it. When articles say; "Please feel free to edit constructively!" that normally refers to spelling and grammer. Don't take it as license to rewrite someones work before asking. -- Sepsis 18:58, 21 November 2008 (MST)
- Oh, and Sam Kay would be the one to talk to about the driders. They are his race. --Green Dragon 16:16, 25 November 2008 (MST)
[edit] Google Talk
Do you use google talk? or the in browser talk? If so, use it now ;) --Sabre070 20:26, 22 November 2008 (MST)
- I do not really use google talk too often. --Green Dragon 16:16, 24 November 2008 (MST)
[edit] Hello
The Green Dragon. Thanks for the welcome post. I understand that more than likely it is a form letter of sorts but I just wanted to let you know that I am very appreciative of this site and its interesting material. I have found that just perusing the content has gotten my ideas flowing and I am already in the middle of what might be one of my best written adventures yet. Thanks so much and Happy Thanksgiving. Greg (Dralco) Lawrence --Dralco 15:23, 24 November 2008 (MST)
- Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, and I am glad you have found some of the things here on D&D Wiki inspiring! Welcome again. --Green Dragon 16:16, 24 November 2008 (MST)
[edit] To Do List
I noticed on the D&DWiki To Do list that there is a section of Sourcebooks that wish to be made, and just wanted to clarify if I understand what is wanted. Are you just wanted a generic setting for each specific time/place/society given? I.e. I read the Egyptian Sourcebook page and its basically a campaign setting layout for generic anchient egypt? Because this seems doable to me if thats what you're wanting. Hooper talk contribs email 14:30, 2 December 2008 (MST)
- I think Talk:Publication List#To Do is what you are looking for. --Green Dragon 15:27, 2 December 2008 (MST)
[edit] Patrolling Edits
Is there a way to make a page not have to be patrolled. That way we could use Storage Boxes and make things in storage not have to be patrolled until they are implemented. (Reduces number of patrolled edits) --Sabre070 18:17, 2 December 2008 (MST)
- There is no way to mark certain page as auto-patrolled which I know of. I doubt it exists because then a clever spammer could add the template to a page, vandalise it, and no one would be the wiser. --Green Dragon 06:35, 3 December 2008 (MST)
[edit] Welcome Message
Hello. Just a quick note. I know that the Welcome Message you use provides some great links over to wikipedia help and policy pages. I was just wondering, the line that still reads something to the effect of "...please use Wikipedia's Dispute Resolution...", is that valid. I mean, we can't really use their dispute center for this wiki, and just changing it do D&Dwiki doesn't make sense. Thoughts, or am I just overanalyzing something most people wont notice?
