From D&D Wiki
Welcome to D&D Wiki[edit]
Hello Hooper/Archive 1, and welcome to D&D Wiki! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like D&D Wiki and decide to stay. I am the owner of the site, and if you have a question feel free to ask me, however when contacting anyone on D&D Wiki through talk pages please sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Also, if you want to help D&D Wiki but just don't know how drop me a note and I'll see what I can do. However, when dropping me a note please tell me how much time you would like to spend working, how well you know the Wiki Format, and how well you know D&D. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a D&D Wikian! If you need help ask me on my talk page, or just right here. Again, welcome! --Green Dragon 23:08, 23 March 2007 (MDT)
- Thanks for the welcome. I know just a slight bit, been doing alot over at the Lostpedia. I can manage my way around. Still learning though. Hooper talk contribs email 20:10, 24 March 2007 (MDT)
- No problem with the welcome. Also, I hope you like helping out D&D Wiki and are here to stay :). --Green Dragon 01:10, 25 March 2007 (MDT)
Fighter[edit]
You said you were currently a level 10 fighter. I'm interested in which feats have you chosen. You don't need to use the NPC template, just a list of feats. Regards --Pwsnafu 18:00, 7 May 2007 (MDT)
- I have done the following with my character:
- I am a Half-Orc Fighter so I do not get the human bonus feat at first level. I am now 14th level. Here is what I have.
- First 7 levels: Fighter
- 8th - 10th level: Exotic Weapon Master
- 11th-14th level: Holy Liberator
- Feats:
- Two-Weapon Fighting
- Power Attack
- Cleave
- Great Cleave
- Supreme Cleave
- Weapon Focus
- Improved Two Weapon Fighting
- Improved Critical.
- Our campaign went through a "boot camp" of sorts which game me alot of extra feats, but sticking to core rules, that is the basic feats. I have to recommend though:
- Cleave + Gauntlets of Throwing (the ones that allow your weapon to auto-return), this gives you a 60 foot cleave range!!!!!!!!!

Steampunk, World at War (DnD Campaign Setting)[edit]
I don't know if I already offered this to you but I am getting multiple people to work on this. There is a list of factions and other sections to be done. You may take any of the pages or a sub page (one deity/one organization ect). --Sabre070 07:53, 5 December 2008 (MST)
- I'd love to help. Campaigns are what I enjoy. Let me read most of the main information first and get a feel for it and I'll gladly help out. Same vice versa always feel free to contribute to Valgora. Hooper talk contribs email 07:57, 5 December 2008 (MST)
- Will do. And thanks. --Sabre070 07:57, 5 December 2008 (MST)
Valgora[edit]
WHAT is the point of Valgora? Whats its storyline? (like how S:WaW has an everlasting war with 5 factions). Is Valgora just an anything type CS? --Sabre070 08:05, 5 December 2008 (MST)
- Valgora's in-game point is predominately discovery, exploration, and heavy roleplay. The current timeline setting is at the point where the first world war is about to take place, and in a land that has predominately experienced peace for so long, this is a big deal. Much like Greyhawk, it can be used for whatever purpose the party requires in a setting. It's out-of-game point is to help player's balance evenly between roleplay and basic hack-and-slash combat, and also to eliminate a meta-game mindset. (see DM hooks) The About page can give you a brief overview of the history (this is one of the pages I'm working on adding alot of info to, but it gives a brief intro). Alot of political stuff going on which you can get from the Malsvir/Ghikva/Talara pages. Other than that theres room for anything. Hooper talk contribs email 08:46, 5 December 2008 (MST)
Zyanya[edit]
I've just about moved over all I'm going to. The rest still needs a bit of work. I've love feedback on what is there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zyanya (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts.

Thank[edit]
Thank you, now all those double redirect are deleted. Everything with (Ascyria Supplement) is either to be deleted or not converted to Ebon yet. Thank :)--Lord Dhazriel 12:30, 24 December 2008 (MST)
- No Problem. I tagged all the redirects that we're double and seemingly useless for deletion so you can review them in the Cand. for Del. category. Now I'm gonna go stop my eyes from bleeding after all that. Hooper talk contribs email 12:39, 24 December 2008 (MST)
Tome Division[edit]
Since you've gone ahead and done it...Don't forget the Dungeonomicon. Thanks, though! -- Genowhirl 18:22, 30 December 2008 (MST)
- Yeah, I'm actually going to slowly make my way thru the entire Long Pages area and see what can be done. I'll get em all eventually. Hooper talk contribs email 19:13, 30 December 2008 (MST)
- Thanks for doing that and all! Surgo 00:10, 14 January 2009 (MST)
Nomination for Adminship[edit]
I ended the nomination. Although I definitely feel that you have a growing dedication and a want to make D&D Wiki better, it seemes like peoples largest concern was that you have not, as of now, been around on D&D Wiki long enough to be very well known. Keep in mind that you can always run again at a later date. --Green Dragon 13:24, 8 January 2009 (MST)
- Thanks. No problem whatsoever, and I can understand their concerns. Don't think they'll get rid of me that easily though ;), I'm here to stay. Learned alot of good points from user's comments and I'll keep them in mind. Hooper talk contribs email 13:44, 8 January 2009 (MST)
Your Signature[edit]
I've just got one question, how do you get your signature to come up that way every single time? → Rith (talk) 17:20, 14 January 2009 (MST)
- First, you create a subpage from your userspace. Mine is User:Hooper/autosig (hence, if you did this yours would be User:Rithaniel/autosig. I created the code for mine but you could copy-paste and alter colors or such, or do a web search for other wikisig codes if you aren't too familiar with them. Once you get it all lines up, go to your Preferences and in the "Nickname" space you'll set it to use your autosig page code. I.e. mine is {{SUBST:User:Hooper/autosig}} (the two "{" and "}" symbols done the same as if you're doing a template). Make sure to click the box below that says Raw Signatures. Then, it'll work like magic. If you need some help with the code just tell me what your goal is and I can help. Hooper talk contribs email 16:36, 14 January 2009 (MST)
d20 High School[edit]
I hate to bug you about this but I can't for the High School campaign to be done so please get it done as soon as possible. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lord Dawson (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts.
- Hello Lord Dawson. I'll do my best, but remember, its a collaborative project, so you can add to it too. Any great ideas or suggestions just add it to the D0 High School talk page and we can all get it done faster. Hooper talk contribs email 19:49, 16 January 2009 (MST)
Sporadic Stay[edit]
For the next few days to a week you may see little, if any of me, here on the wiki. For those who don't know we had a huge storm hit western Kentucky. I got off pretty lucky but power and internet are touch and go. If you need to get in touch with me or are responding to a comment on another page it is best to MOI me as I may not be able to see it on Recent Changes anytime soon. Hooper talk contribs email 16:36, 30 January 2009 (MST) We're back up fully finally. Hooper talk contribs email 10:53, 9 February 2009 (MST)
- Moving and being sick has been kicking me. I'll be around when I can. Hooper talk contribs email 12:25, 28 March 2009 (MDT)
- Good luck getting better. --Green Dragon 15:52, 28 March 2009 (MDT)
Campaign Catographer 3[edit]
If anyone is familiar with this program and has any tips or comments or good sites for addons please let me know. Just got it. Hooper talk contribs email 10:53, 9 February 2009 (MST)
Posod[edit]
Dunno what you did, but thanks. If you'd care to enlighten me, that would be great.--Mrwest13 09:41, 18 February 2009 (MST)
- Hey, no problem. I added what we call the breadcrumb. That way users can easily navigate within the numerous pages of Campaign Settings. Also added the Posod Setting Category to all the subpages to help keep track of them. Hooper talk contribs email 10:36, 18 February 2009 (MST)
Barnstar[edit]

Barnstar |
I give you this Barnstar for standardizing all the Endhaven pages so they have "Supplement" in their name as well. Thanks for your unconditional help. --Green Dragon 04:42, 20 February 2009 (MST) |
As a side note I thınk you found all the Endhaven pages through categories. A few Endhaven pages have no categories so they stıll adhere to the old name. A good example is Endhaven (Endhaven). Personally I would just search through the Uncategorized pages for anything with "Endhaven" ın the name, and go from their. --Green Dragon 04:46, 20 February 2009 (MST)
- Oh, wow. Thanks a ton! You're right, Endhaven is massive (which isn't a bad thing at all) so I'll definitely do that. Want to make sure any user can easily navigate and browse through all of the setting pages. Hooper talk contribs email 07:20, 20 February 2009 (MST)
Intelligence insulting[edit]
Hey Hooper; if you think I was trying to attack your intelligence, I was not. But if it seemed that way, my apologies! Surgo 01:41, 15 March 2009 (MDT)
- After re-reading my comment on your page, I also apologize. Came across more rudely than I intended. Hooper talk contribs email 10:20, 15 March 2009 (MDT)
Test/Notes to Self[edit]
- w:Dungeons & Dragons
- Hit up Double Redirects when I have more time - starting to grow again.
- Invent a bot to do the above, and never have to do such a tedious thing again.
- Check on QAGS game system legalities to see if it can be added to wiki
- Make table for market businesses for Talara for DM use
- OMGcon PIL wiki dropload for Ogre booth by next committee meeting (don't forget this idiot)
Four Months Late...[edit]
But better late than never.
In response to your post on the Americana Talk Page: I'd definitely have no problem with you or anyone else doing something like that. This was always a community project at heart and I'd love to have some help. --The Archivist 10:35, 26 April 2009 (MDT)
Urgent Matter[edit]
In light of your recent activities, it has become important that I speak with you. Since the Tavern is down, do you know of any chatrooms where we could meet in the near future? (preferably ones that don't require any kind of registration)
- Well, either I'm going to get raped in a dark alley or you work for a large off shore bank that has millions in unclaimed cash for me if I just give you my pin number ..... but I'm usually available in fleetchat [1] Hooper talk contribs email 12:12, 29 August 2009 (MDT)
- I'm back on that chat, drop by for a sec if you can.
- Alight, I was totally free and waiting for you today, but apprently your schedule didn't match mine. Tomorrow (tuesday) I'll be on only intermittently, so I don't know if I will be able to catch you. However, whenever I am on, I will be in the chat, so if you get on here, open up the chat, and if I am there, I'll see you. Just FYI. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.29.79.200 (talk • contribs) 21:37, 31 August 2009 (MST). Please sign your posts.
Godsend[edit]
Dude Hooper, thank you so much for fixing all my CS pages. I didn't even notice they were all marked wrong. You freakin' rock man. --Jay Freedman 17:21, 30 August 2009 (MDT)
- Many exes would deny that former bit, but don't worry about it man. I wouldn't of known if it wasn't for the main CS page rating breakdown. Hooper talk contribs email 19:14, 30 August 2009 (MDT)
I did some editing on your d20 High School setting...[edit]
Hope you don't mind! Can you look it over and see if I got anything wrong?
- Oh no, please feel free to add/alter it as you wish. I've actually "abandoned" it for adoption by any willing user. So, go for it! Also, I noticed you added to the OGREs page. Contact me via the email on my user page and I can get you a chapter logo and other great materials to use to recruit players, as well as it allows us to keep contact information for each chapter. Hooper talk contribs email 10:21, 1 September 2009 (MDT)
- Well... in truth, the Forest City Ogres are totally mythical. I just have a couple of groups I play with that I was thinking might be fun to OGREize. Most of us are around high-school/college age, so I thought, you know...
- One other thing- we're actually suburbian. As far as I know, our teeny suburb doesn't have a name, so I just put the name of the closest city. That's okay, right?--Elizabeth Keene 12:37, 1 September 2009 (MDT)
- (Sorry, just got a screenname)
- That is all absolutely fine. That is actually how two of our chapters are right now. If you'd like, I can send you some electronic things (logo/membership book/sample flyers) etc. that can really help out. Plus, its always fun to give your group a persona - a mascot if you will. Hooper talk contribs email 12:41, 1 September 2009 (MDT)
Note and Question[edit]
Why did you undo Jota's edit on User_talk:ElizabethKeene (this edit here). The welcome message you added states that "...I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well)..." ending with your user signature at the end. Jota changed it to be correct. Why did you change it back? Where you not aware of what the welcome message says? I've noticed this happening several times and figured it was just an oversight, but that Undo made me wonder. Anyways, back to lurking for me... --Ganteka 15:58, 1 September 2009 (MDT)
- Aaa! Hooper is staging a takeover! Quickly rally together around me and we shall defeat him. Then after he is slain I, Jay Maximo Supremo Freedman, shall become the rightful king. All hail Jay! King of Dragon Wiki. (P.S. dont tell GD. He will spank me for being naughty.) --Jay Freedman 16:51, 1 September 2009 (MDT)
- Ah, I will admit an oversight on that bit. I've done it before then. I hadn't paid proper attention and thought that it was just a general welcome message. I'll fix that in the future. However, we can't remove signatures of one user and add another, even though this was my slight he should of noted it and allowed me to fix it. Changing another user's talk post just starts a downhill spiral. I will alter a non-admin welcome message to use in the future. Now, ignore all of the above. Jay, you are too clever. Death to thee. Hooper talk contribs email 17:05, 1 September 2009 (MDT)
Wiki Break[edit]
Other than maintaining Valgora and trying to do background stuff, I'll be taking a break. The three articles i'm playtesting I'll note once done. Hopefully in a month or so trustworthy admins will be available so that GD isn't so bogged down and we can make some headway on some issues, and hopefully by then the wiki split up issue will be over and the users left will be 100 percent for the betterment of this (or both is fine) wiki. Hooper talk contribs email 15:05, 3 September 2009 (MDT)
- Hey bro, I just wanted to say thanks for all you do. I appreciate all your hard work. I really do. Sorry I got so pissed at you on Surgo's page. But you picked that fight yourself. Anyway. Have fun playtesting. See ya around. --Jay Freedman 20:45, 3 September 2009 (MDT)
- No longer relevant. Have found the hilarity needed to ignore some and enjoy others. Will be back on 9/22/09 heading with the wife and family in the a.m. to Savannah, home of - well, some tourist trap or other. You kids play nice while I'm gone. Hooper talk contribs email 23:33, 18 September 2009 (MDT)
A Question For You[edit]
I don't really know who else to turn to on this Wiki...I haven't seen many recent edits from the admin, so you seem to be my best hope, dude. I want to ask...is the Tavern down or something? I've been incapable of linking to it for a few days now. Thanks in advance, --Harry Mason 14:43, 25 September 2009 (MDT)
- The Tavern and the normal search utilities are both down for some server issues and have been down for a bit. The ad revenue and a possible fundraiser will go towards new hardware to help fix this issue. It will most likely take a bit of time, but the issue is known. Also, there has been talk of voting to see if we even really need/want the tavern, and any input in that regards would be appreciated by all I am sure. Hooper talk contribs email 14:57, 25 September 2009 (MDT)
- Alright. Where may I submit my input? --Harry Mason 15:12, 25 September 2009 (MDT)
- You'll find the slight conversation here to add to. This was just a short discussion that isn't all on-topic of this exact subject, but it is where it came up. Once it truly gets back up, they'll probably be a more proper venue (i.e. discussion page, etc.) to hold the final talks and vote (if a vote comes up). But still a good idea to put in everyone's two cents. Thanks! Hooper talk contribs email 15:17, 25 September 2009 (MDT)
- Added. My thanks, and I submit my humble hopes that my opinion is considered. --Harry Mason 15:23, 25 September 2009 (MDT)
Talk[edit]
Sup Hooper. Thanks for all the work you do around here. I always look forward to reading your edits. No matter what anyone says. Peace. --Jay Freedman 21:24, 28 September 2009 (MDT)
- Jay, you are too eternally nice for the internet. If you don't cuss me out before long I'll be fearing planetary alignment and mass chaos. (In other words, thanks). Hooper talk contribs email 06:28, 29 September 2009 (MDT)
Campaign Settings I Started[edit]
The campaign settings I started arent abandoned, I just never really have the time it seems to edit them like you said, im not good a editing which is also another reason why I dont get the chance to edit them, I would ask for help on here, but I dont know who to ask that could help me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The Mighty Boosh (talk • contribs) .

- Hey, thanks for responding. If you need help, just clarify what your ideas are on what you are wanting to add and users, myself included, can help get it formatted properly for you. If you utilize the talk page of your Campaign Settings for ideas and calls for help, we can help out. Hooper talk contribs email 08:31, 10 October 2009 (MDT)
- The reason i added the campaign settings i added is because they cover more locations, scenarios, weapons, and other things i thing would be nice to include, i can include certain items and places and descriptions of them, but i just cant seem to calculate the damage or stats right for items and i dont want to overpower or make weapons too weak, same thing with vehicles and creatures. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The Mighty Boosh (talk • contribs) .

Ok, and im still getting the hang of posting on here, thanks for being so helpful. The Mighty Boosh 23:22, 11 October 2009 (MDT)
Thanks for your edits[edit]
I wanted to reply in order to say I do appreciate the fixings of my red-links. I was in class and I couldn't really spare the time to hunt down the sub-types. Jwguy 00:10, 15 October 2009 (MDT)
Flabbergastery[edit]
Heh, I didn't really know what to do when I noticed you'd given me a barnstar. When I first saw I had my talk page changed I thought someone had come to me to dispute an issue with my rewording. I felt my grammatical and 'language issue' (I like that phrase) fixes were more of an overly obsessive hobby, not that I feel extremely compelled to do them, I just believe it's important, rather than a particularly useful contribution.
But yes, the main reason I decided to say something was just to let you know that the award was appreciated, and I found it quite encouraging. Thank you. --SgtLion 00:48, 20 October 2009 (MDT)
- I'm glad you appreciated it. The edits you make are great, and they help out editors who may not be the best with spelling or proper wording have their content on the wiki and others be able to actually appreciate it. Hooper talk contribs email 06:20, 20 October 2009 (MDT)
Weapon and Armor Stats[edit]
I will be adding basic information on many weapons and will also be adding armor and armor information, it would be a great deal of help if you could help me calculate the weapon and armor stats, it would be great if you would help. The Mighty Boosh 02:11, 21 October 2009 (MDT)

- Thanks, and I really appreciate the help you have provided. The Mighty Boosh 15:54, 22 October 2009 (MDT)
Old Page Titles[edit]
I know you went though using "What links here" and found many "(DnD" pages and put them up for deletion. If you would like to do something I would give you temporary admin rights to go through a few sections and delete the old "(DnD" pages (or the ones without an edition present, "(D&D", etc). Your opinion/thoughts? --Green Dragon 16:26, 25 October 2009 (MDT)
- I could do that. I'm out of town until tuesday but if you wanted to grant the ability sometime after that I'll hit them all up. Ease up the work load a bit. Hooper talk contribs email 17:08, 25 October 2009 (MDT)
- Do as many as you like. No need to go through Category:Candidates for Deletion; just find an area, use "What links here" on each individual page, and delete the redirects. Please, on the deleted redirect use What link here again and edit all those pages - linking to the new name. Also delete associated talk pages using the same What link here method. Delete all the non-edition, tagged, or incorrectly tagged pages and once again fix the then broken links. Do not delete content pages. --Green Dragon 12:13, 29 October 2009 (MDT)
- Your not doing it right. E.g. http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Special:Whatlinkshere/Category:Birth_Feat. Also do not work from Category:Candidates for Deletion - that's admin work. Just the (DnD pages from a specific area... let me know when you understand what I am talking about. --Green Dragon 17:50, 29 October 2009 (MDT)
- Okay, just to clarify, let me say I start from this area: here. Now, of course this particular example will be mostly changing links, but should I run across old talk pages using DnD you want those checked for links and deleted, etc. etc. ? Maybe I should find a different specific area as a good example. Hooper talk contribs email 17:52, 29 October 2009 (MDT)
- Wait, after re-reading your first post, I am a little truly confused. Are you more so wishing to truly change all DnD pages into edition. I.e. do you want to move, say, DnD Equipment to 3.5e Equipment, and then have me go through and alter the whatlinkshere at the old page to update it all to the edition. Rinse, repeat, on all DnD pages? If that is so, do I even need any additional abilities that would help out? Hooper talk contribs email 17:59, 29 October 2009 (MDT)
- That's something different... For example:
- DnD Creatures → 3.5e CR 1/6 or less Creatures → TABS e.g.
- Babble Fish (3.5e Creature) → What links here FOUND Babble Fish (DnD Creature) (delete) → What links here LINK FOUND User talk:Green Dragon/Archive 10 LINK NEEDS TO BE RE-LINKED TO THE NEW PAGE NAME. CHECK FOR TALK REDIRECTS TOO Found (delete). Next.
- Budgerigar (3.5e Creature) → What links here FOUND Budgerigar (delete) What link here NOTHING. CHECK FOR TALK REDIRECTS TOO None. Next.
- Celestial Monkey (3.5e Creature) → What links here FOUND Celestial Monkey (DnD Creature) (delete) What links here NOTHING. CHECK FOR TALK REDIRECTS TOO None. Next.
- Cladonil (3.5e Creature) → What links here FOUND Cladonil (DnD Creature) (delete) What links here LINK FOUND User:Risek LINK NEEDS TO BE RE-LINKED TO THE NEW PAGE NAME. CHECK FOR TALK REDIRECTS TOO None. Next. etc etc etc etc.
- (DELETE RELATED TALK PAGES TO - they should just be redirects as well...))
- Does this make more sense? If you would not mind could you try that out so you see what I am talking about? --Green Dragon 18:05, 29 October 2009 (MDT)
- Ultimately the goal is to remove all the (redirect page)'s, their talk pages, and only keep the new page names and the disambiguation pages. --Green Dragon 18:36, 29 October 2009 (MDT)
- I "cleaned up" babble fish. Do you see what I mean? --Green Dragon 18:42, 29 October 2009 (MDT)
- For note the deletion log should end up looking something akin to
- 17:41, 29 October 2009 Green Dragon (Talk | contribs | block) deleted "Talk:Babble Fish (DnD Creature)" (content was: '#REDIRECT Talk:Babble Fish (3.5e Creature)' (and the only contributor was 'Rithaniel')) (Restore)

←Reverted indentation to one colon
- Could you give it a go though? Of course if you prefer you can also change all the Dungeons and Dragons links to 3.5e Homebrew - however no admin rights are needed for that... Could you let me know if you decide to do that (if at all) instead? Then I will change your userrights again. --Green Dragon 18:53, 29 October 2009 (MDT)
- Okay. Let me know when then; or if, if you would not mind. --Green Dragon 10:25, 30 October 2009 (MDT)
