Welcome to D&D Wiki![edit]
- Welcome!
Hello Blackhearth 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 that you make sure your user preferences match your preferences.
- Questions
If you have any questions about a specific page please ask it on that page's talk page. If you have a D&D-related question please ask it on DnD Discussions. Everything relating to D&D Wiki's administration can be found here. If your question does not fit into one of the above possibilities or you need to contact another user please use their talk page.
- Formatting
Syntax can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is Help:Editing on Wikipedia (or even their Introduction page). This will explain basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Help pages also provide help in areas that have been decided as requiring additional explanation.
- Community
A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. To enable the community to function policies are in effect. Most importantly follow Wikipedia's guidelines on civility and etiquette when discussing anything and do not delete content. Also, to ensure people know who posted what, please sign your name after a post with four tildes (~~~~) or by clicking on the signature icon (

Dense Skeleton[edit]
Hi blackhearth, I'm not sure why you would deliberately put the ampersands back. All I can do is refer you to grammar resources such as http://www.betterwritingskills.com/tip-w002.html Marasmusine (talk) 01:36, 14 January 2015 (MST)
Because I'm English & in English-English (as opposed to American English) the word "and" is considered freely interchangable with the symbol "&". Regardless, going by the second & third tips in the linked article, it is fitting, since minimising the amount of text in a feat description is a good thing (they should be snappy & to-the-point, so "space is very limited") & my personal preference is for their use ("artistic considerations").
