"Someone on Facebook" - it might be nice to credit the actual person? Marasmusine (talk)

I sent him the link, he is aware. Some people, while on FB, aren't keen on their names being put out for others. I left the option for him to do. My point was to make sure I wasn't taking credit. BigShotFancyMan (talk) 15:25, 1 July 2017 (MDT)

See the Help:Attribution Policy on the wiki. Pages are not supposed to have any signatures/attributions to people/users unless it is under certain circumstances. You could however mention them on your user page when linking to this page. --Blobby383b (talk) 01:24, 11 December 2017 (MST)

Well darn, I can't win for nothing. Thanks BigShotFancyMan (talk) 06:33, 11 December 2017 (MST)

No problem, I wanted to at least show you the wiki's policy on attribution before removing it. Also, the Help:Portal mentioned when people first join the wiki has a ton of info on various things like this, but I believe most users skip over it.--Blobby383b (talk) 11:46, 11 December 2017 (MST)

Well great thing we have you to remind us. The new book Xanather's Guide to Everything is a good read I recommend to you. BigShotFancyMan (talk) 13:02, 11 December 2017 (MST)

I am not sure whether your are being sarcastic or not, but oh well. Also, I haven't read through all of XGtE, but it is indeed a great pickup, as it has tons of cool things for both PC's and DM's. I would say my favorite part of it so far are the complex traps, the cavalier subclass, and the new sorcerer subclasses.--Blobby383b (talk) 13:42, 11 December 2017 (MST)

I agree on those subclasses and a few more. I am more excited to see WotC's ideas for the features. Where they gauge power level for different ideas. Racial feats were nice to see since the wiki hasn't really been keen to them. I think it is a really good value for new players, ones that struggle to develop a character and where to draw inspiration. Seasoned DMs I think find less value but there's still something for them/us. My favorite part though, as it pertains to homebrew in my opinion, is the section about "Exceptions Supersede General Rules" because there is a lot of "rules say this" on the wiki and I've tried to point out this idea before. XGE is sort of that vindication :) BigShotFancyMan (talk) 14:18, 11 December 2017 (MST)

You should enjoy it, it has a ton of really unique ideas that come from UA, but are more balanced and refined based on user's feedback. Also, compared to 3e, 5e just gives you general rules to follow them lets the players go wild. A common phrase I hear is that you can do anything in D&D, and that seems to be very much true in 5e compared to some of the other earlier editions where there was a rule for almost everything.--Blobby383b (talk) 16:48, 11 December 2017 (MST)

I think you've hit the nail on the head. Also, thanks for the twitch follow :) BigShotFancyMan (talk) 20:51, 11 December 2017 (MST)

No problem, I will talk to you later.--Blobby383b (talk) 22:58, 11 December 2017 (MST)
