Difficulty with the subclass I created with a player

I'm struggling to keep a subclass I created a little over a year ago (Oath of rot) true to what it was, after me and the player I made it with went back for a rules question we found the class was completely changed and while some of the flavor writing was good, we had to revert it back to the original as it had nearly none of the original aspects left I did however keep the changes in a separate page called the oath of the decaying and referenced such in the talk page, I've come back this morning to find the changes to the page back to how they were before I reverted them with a protection on the page saying we should use the talk page to sort this out, but I already have used the talk page. i have a session coming up today and would hopefully like the page unprotected so I can revert the changes back to what they should be. --Varuun 12 September 2021

It seems to have been resolved and the page is unlocked so cheers.--Yanied (talk) 13:39, 12 September 2021 (MDT)

Question on how to proceed

I noticed that you left comments about the state of Oz and while the wording of the features can easily be fixed I was wondering if it would be best to explain how the companion works and have the various features stay within the class. If it's fine to have a separate creature page in this mannor, then aside from wording, how would I fix some of the link formating and properly explaining of how it would work in terms of 5e mechanics? -- ThighRash (talk)

If you want, I can have the stuff moved over to the proper class page. It might be more appropriate to call it the raven familiar there.--Yanied (talk) 07:23, 3 September 2021 (MDT)

Shinigami, Variant

We,my friends and I, have finished the Shinigami, Variant(5e class). We would love if it could be moved up to the finished classes based on existing fiction section now. Also, the other Shinigami(5e class) is marked for deletion because of being abandoned, but was unsure if we could get back to just being called Shinigami since that one was abandoned. -- Wes1996 (talk) 20:38, 1 October 2020 (EST)

Edit: Just noticed that by taking the tag away for it being completed, it puts it up in the chart. I didn't know that happened. I am sorry if you were meant to do that and I did it. -- Wes1996

No, you are free to take the tag off once you feel the class is finished. As for the existing one, once it is deleted, we can probably move yours from variant to the regular page. Thanks.--Yanied (talk) 09:25, 2 October 2020 (MDT)

Invitation to Participate in Rlyeh Development

I'm interested in starting an environment or campaign development of "Sunken Rlyeh.” I’m contacting you because you have in the past created Lovecraft/Cthulhu-related material, or otherwise indicated some interest in the topic; so I’m hopeful that you would be interested in supporting and participating in this development effort.

I have developed some ideas about the nature of this underwater city, its inhabitants, and some special rules pertaining to interactions and the city's non-Euclidean geometry. I've also made some encounter tables and a table of city locations/structures. The concept is that below the surface of a prime material ocean, at the point farthest from any surface landmass, is a gate to the Elemental Plane of Water. On the other side of the gate is the city of Rlyeh, which sank and reformed itself as an underwater sphere. The sunken city is dark and sinister and slimy, and filled with many horrific denizens (but appropriate for the level of the adventuring party).

The encounter tables include one for the prime material ocean surface, a deep water table appropriate for either side of the gate area, and one for the city itself. The encounters include creatures from standard 5e material, as well as many D&D Wiki creatures.

I think that the effort could be successful even if contributions from multiple authors are contradictory, because… well, it’s Rlyeh. My notion is that there would be sub-categories like creatures/inhabitants, movement and vision/visability rules, geography (structures, distances, etc), encounters, traps, and the like. Any author could place relevant material in an existing category, or create a new one. I’m hopeful that any material deposited could be used with slight or no modification. Conflicting rules or other info could be optional and at the DM’s discretion, or only applicable in certain locations in the city, or whatever.

Please reply if you are interested in participating in this activity.

--Dain (talk) 20:18, 8 November 2020 (MST)

Haha, another Lovecraft lover eh? Sure, I'd be happy to collaborate. But I would be most grateful if we fixed "non euclidean" since mathematics was not Lovecrafts strong point. Non-euclidean is just 3D life, which is what we live in. What is truly weird and horrifying is a Euclidean world where it is all flat!

Back to the idea, campaign settings are incredibly tough to do and usually encompass entire countries rather than a city. It is still possible, just on a smaller scale. I would be happy to help but I won't be able to get the ball rolling since I am working on other projects at the moment. I can contribute in bits and pieces. Hit me up when you start!--Yanied (talk) 20:27, 8 November 2020 (MST)

I have created "Sunken Rlyeh (5e Environment)" and entered what I have so far, except for the four tables. I would appreciate if you take a look and make whatever contributions you have time to make... I would also appreciate if you can point me in the right direction on getting Excel tables into the right format for the wiki... I'm going to stick with the "non-Euclidean" part of the description, since that is the way Mr. Lovecraft described it. I'll await his return and ask for clarification. Or if you can come up with something that better describes it, have at it! BTW, "Flatland" was a weird place, very repressive... --Dain (talk) 21:01, 10 November 2020 (MST)

Haha, fair. Ah excel tables? I can make the usual tables, which could function about the same. I'll take a look!--Yanied (talk) 23:05, 10 November 2020 (MST)

Thanks for the table entries; I was able to see how to reformat my Excel "locations" table and get it entered. It was a pain but I figured out how to do it somewhat universally and then save the excel as a MSDOS text file with space delimiting. Then it was a matter of correcting my many syntax errors... Next question: I would like to enter the encounter tables in separate areas (or maybe all three in one area) and link to them from the Sunken Rlyeh environment page. Each encounter table has another table with encounter descriptions and I'm thinking it would start to get cumbersome to have everything at the same level. Where/how might I store a table or tables so I can link them? Thanks again...--Dain (talk) 16:13, 11 November 2020 (MST)

I'll make a supplement page for that then.--Yanied (talk) 17:18, 11 November 2020 (MST)

Insectaur

--DontAllowMe ([User talk:DontAllowMe|talk]]) 3:12, December 3 2020

Hey, why'd you get rid of the changes I did to Insectaur? I actually spent time on those.

Your changes unbalanced the race. Adding so much ASI and extra abilities like superior darkvision, extra speed, and flying speed is extremely overpowering, especially since it counts by unconventional minutes and scales over the typical levels.--Yanied (talk) 21:04, 3 December 2020 (MST)

Upsetting Article

Hello Yanied,

I am writing you concerning the following article: https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Lizardfolk_Biology_(Paludia_Supplement)

It was brought to my attention after one of my fellow players was looking for information regarding her race in DnD, she had stumbled onto this article believing it to be the official class. We’ve all made this mistake at least once, we’re not concerned with her not recognizing this wiki’s purpose. Instead we (her entire DnD group) were appalled with the content of this page. This race is written with an inherent sexist bias that is unrealistic and harmful. It isn’t super clear on your Warning Policy page if this sort of speech is accepted.

Here are a few of the upsetting ideals written into this race:

“Hence, the lizardfolk have inferior endurance, especially the females, who have even more serious problems metabolizing lactic acid. In a long fight, a lizardfolk will tire faster than a human and will probably retreat if the fight isn't won in a couple of minutes.”

“An average male requires an average of 8 hours of sleep, while a female requires an average of 10 hours of sleep, although many females prefer to sleep for 12 hours.”

"Without exception, within the same species, male lizardfolk are larger, heavier, stronger, faster, more durable, more resistant to pain, fatigue and sickness, and less easily tired than female lizardfolk. Additionally, male lizardfolk have higher average intelligence and are wiser than female lizardfolk. This is due to the need for the males to do the hunting and fighting for the tribe. Additionally, male lizardfolk naturally live longer than females, but the habits of war and violence tend to equalize their lifespans with the females. In no case does a female lizardfolk ever control a tribe, clan, or village; the purpose of the female lizardfolk consorts is to make heirs, not to rule. If a chief were to die and a daughter or wife was his only relative, then the strongest males would fight to see which one of them was the strongest, and the winner would become the new chief.

It should be obvious that male lizardfolk are excellent front line soldiers. With more strength and constitution than an average human, they ought to make great fighters. At home, they are excellent hunters and fishers, and can apply their hunting skills to aid whatever party of adventurers they may join. The males can also make skilled rangers.

Female lizardfolk are often unable to take care of themselves, as they aren't very good at competing with males for hunting or fishing grounds; the very few that have ever tried have been outclassed in every way. As a result, they have to find a mate or else depend on male relatives. In isolation, a female lizardfolk actually would be able to do some hunting or fishing, but even the least competition from a male will be enough to see her outdone. Female lizardfolk are more flexible than their male counterparts, but not nearly so much so that they would get any bonus to dexterity because of it.

For game purposes, to get the stats of a female lizardfolk, first calculate the stats normally for the male, and then factor in the following:

-4 strength, -4 constitution, -2 intelligence, -2 wisdom. Female lizardfolk also only have +2 natural armor instead of the male +5 natural armor (in common lizardfolk, but in no case do females have more than, or as much natural armor as the males, no matter the species.) Females can only hold their breath for only three times its constitution score before drowning (instead of 4X for the male.) Females by necessity, are supposed to lay eggs and raise children, thus ensuring the continued survival of the race. Biologically, this necessitates certain physiological adjustments that may impede the females from combat, but in no way reduce their value to the race; in fact, their value actually increases in some ways because they can lay eggs. Lizardfolk females are acutely aware of this, and very few females will live their lives without reproducing.

In comparison to a human, a typical female lizardfolk has -2 strength, constitution, wisdom, and -4 intelligence (minimum of 3). In an adventuring party, this can prove to be quite a problem. Being neither good at combat nor skilled in magic, the female lizardfolk would at first glance appear to be a liability for any party. However, this weakness can be turned into a strength... of a sort. Having little combat proficiency frees the female lizardfolk PCs from having to develop such skills, enabling them to class as bards and rogues and develop other skills. With little need to give them fighting skills, one can develop a female character's non-combat skills, and use them to the party's advantage. Female Paludian lizardfolk bards receive a +2 charisma bonus upon entering that class and lose it when leaving it. This reflects the exotic, eye-catching nature of the females; this is only able to be exploited by a class which requires the female to be looked at and paid attention to. For a female fighter or paladin, appearance and grace matter less, and the rest of the world knows it, so only the bard would logically receive a bonus for being eye-catching in a performance. Skills for the female lizardfolk that are worth focusing on include Balance, Diplomacy, Disguise, Escape Artist, Gather information, Move Silently,Open Lock, Perform, and Sleight of hand. Chances are, one can easily fit an exotic, alluring female lizardfolk into a party, especially if one's party needs someone agile and charismatic (while there is no particular bonus for dexterity, it ought to be focused on in order to make the PC worthwhile.) These can be good PCs because they can excel in certain niche roles that a party might need from time to time, such as having to send someone to balance on a narrow plank in order to get an item, or having to sneak through a dark room.

During the prime mating season (spring, roughly 1/4 of the year), females receive a special +4 modifier to certain charisma checks to represent the release of pheromones and their greater desire to mate (though females always wish to mate more than the males do, but even more so during mating season), but it wears off after the season ends. In the wider world, female lizardfolk are considered to be rare, exotic and eye-catching, whereas the ferocious males simply intimidate and frighten others. Hence, the outside observer can see a dichotomy between the two roles of the lizardfolk sexes; male strength vs female exoticness.

There is one native Paludian class which allows female lizardfolk to circumvent some of their disadvantages, that of the Hierodule, a divine casting class with no offensive capability. The education required for this class enables the females to avoid the -2 intelligence and -2 wisdom penalty, and this will apply only for the female if her first class is that of Heirodule. For no other class does the training for being a Heirodule apply, so if the female should switch classes, the penalties to intelligence and wisdom apply."

“Like all other species of lizardfolk, the males are much heavier, larger, stronger, and more durable in every way than the females, who only weigh between 90-120 pounds (on average), are at least a foot shorter, are nowhere near as strong, and have softer skin, weaker bones, and less resistance to pain, fatigue, and injury. The females also have a lesser capacity for logic and reason, being creatures of hormones, feelings, and passions. The common lizardfolk are the most numerous type of in Paludia, forming a plurality of the entire lizardfolk population in Paludia.”

I understand the desire to create races that mimic animals and cultures but no animal puts this strong of a disadvantage on all females. This article appears to be written with a ridiculous amount of harmful language and ideals towards females. It explicitly states that women of this race are useless for all things other than mating, it frequently uses the problematic work “exotic” and only gives women any use if they are used as a sex object as a bard and any advantage they get from that goes away if they leave the party. I’m not sure if the class started this way or was added later. Regardless, it seems inappropriate to have an article like this for a game that should be about inclusion and acceptance.

I am posting this for all of the moderators so the article can be reviewed. I understand if this isn’t found to be against your community guidelines but please do consider the harm this type of article might impose on someone who might be quick to make parallels with human females or young females who might believe this about themselves.

Bewilderbeast

Hi. Since you have helped me out in the past, I was wondering if you could help me with CR and Hit Point calculations of my Bewilderbeast monster? --Dinomaster337 (talk) 18:16, 2 January 2021 (MST)

Sure. I've fixed the hit dice to a d100 as per mythic rules and thus derived cr from the same rules. Hope this helps! It still needs all the proficiency bonuses and modifiers added for skills and damage averages for some.--Yanied (talk) 19:44, 2 January 2021 (MST)

Scarcaster

Hi. I've been working on this class called a Scarcaster and would like your help finishing it up, if that's alright. Specifically, I was wondering if you could help me with the Spirit of the Root and Spirit of the Elements subclasses and thus finishing up the class. For the Roots, I don't have a feature to gain from level 18 and I wanted to give it additional potions that it can brew (that's something scarcasters can do at level 9) and I have no ideas for what to do in that regard. For the Elemental Spirit, I wanted something comparable to the Gale Force Fist, in that it isn't a spell, but I don't want to make it like the Way of Four Elements Monk. Any suggestions and sorry to bother you. --Dinomaster337 (talk) 11:54, 17 March 2021 (MST)

In lite of this question, I have since come up with things for the Elemental Spirit. I just need help with the Roots spirit now.--Dinomaster337 (talk) 12:46, 17 March 2021 (MST)

Hey, Yanied.

Drawings Requested

I have noticed that you have provided drawings on some wiki pages you have edited. I would like to request some drawings for some of my own. Could you make drawings for all the creatures in the Flaming Tundra, an environment I created, except for the fire-bellied tortle hunter, trapper, and mage (make a single drawing for the subrace itself)? If not, do you have any suggestions of someone who can help me? Also, feel free to make any small edits you see necessary to improve the articles. Thank you for your time and consideration. - UnderKoopa757 (talk) 11:10, 22 May 2021 (MDT)

Cool creations. I draw for commissions if they are more complex than a sketch. What kind of art do you have in mind? --Yanied (talk) 11:22, 22 May 2021 (MDT)

A simple drawing of each creature, with no background. A sketch would sufice. - UnderKoopa757 (talk) 12:26, 22 May 2021 (MDT)

Ok, sure. I'll be using the creature descriptions as my only guide. When I'm done, I'll post them up. Sound good?--Yanied (talk) 11:28, 22 May 2021 (MDT)

Frost Bringer

Hello Yanied. You put a temp lock on the Frost Bringer class today. I was the original creator of the class and had months ago finished it and put a request for no further edits to it. I just yesterday noticed that my class had been changed to a major degree and I wanted to return it to how I left it. The people who changed it have undone all attempts to recover my original content and have refused to take their changes to a variant of the class. They are now saying that I must move my content to my user page and that I can’t publish it in the public section because it doesn’t match their standards for balanced. --Silverking (talk) 21:39, 25 May 2021 (MDT)

• It's not like you can't "recover" your version, hell, it's right here.
• If we made a variant to fix the page, we'd have a functional version and a non-functional version(by your own admittance), so that doesn't really work out.
• I can understand precedent and original intent, but functionality still comes first, and as I understand, the class still mostly works the same, barring a few instant death things.

It's a shame we're coming here now. I thought this could be handled with civility. That offer for help with userpages is still there, though. --SwankyPants (talk) 21:47, 25 May 2021 (MDT)

Hello SilverKing. Yes, I locked the page temporarily due to the edit war brewing. While balance is a thing of ambiguity, the wiki does try to feature balanced content that users can enjoy without worry of breaking the game, hence the function of templates and community constructive criticism. If the content is compared to first-party content, there can be high-quality critiques made with valid points. User pages, on the other hand, are for personal usage and not subject to public scrutiny. Therefore if you make imbalanced content and wish to keep it so, it is recommended they be user pages. Otherwise, they are subject to rigorous scrutiny.--Yanied (talk) 10:01, 26 May 2021 (MDT)

If the removal of content and replacement of completely different content is what is considered as balancing on this site I no longer feel comfortable putting any of my content on this site

I still feel that my original class was perfectly playable as most of its abilities could be replicated in some capacity within first party content.

If their goal was really to balance my content there are many different ways that could have been achieved instead the first thing that was said to me by them was that I no longer had any right to the work. They also made it clear that any changes I made would be immediately undone. They did not go into the class and mark what they felt was unbalance they just flat out undid my work.

I understand that it is this site's goal to present the best content it can but I also understand that ultimately it the Dungeon Master at every table that will decide how a home brewed class is played at their table. If my content is seen as unbalanced by them then they will change it for their game. If other people want to add optional changes to my content on its page then I welcome it as long as they don't go removing mine just because they don't like it.--Silverking (talk) 10:55, 26 May 2021 (MDT)

I'm not entirely sure about the balance, as that would be up for discussion on the class talk page. As for editing, while it generally is better etiquette to leave a note about changes to be made, we also encourage a "be bold" editing policy. We also try to present more balanced material on the public front even if it can be playtested further because, otherwise, you're putting out products and expecting the players to do all the work themselves. There are standards of objective balance in the game, and users are encouraged to look at those when making content comparable to first-party.--Yanied (talk) 11:13, 26 May 2021 (MDT)

Regarding Changes on Blessed Narehate (5e_race)

I have noticed the changes you made to certain abilites and to the page itself. Although, the reason why it had immunity to curses was because me and my friend realised there aren't many curses that use saving throws. I envy the other changes you made, especially because I am new to making content, but I would kindly ask you to reconsider the change you made against the immunity. If you were to still think it's ballanced with the edits you set out, I would like you to explain why would immunity to curses would be too unballanced.--AverageHuntress (talk) 22:09, 23 October 2021 (MDT)

That's true that curses aren't much or well-used in dnd. I suppose it is a fair point since resistance to a common damage type would actually be more advantageous in that case.--Yanied (talk) 22:30, 23 October 2021 (MDT)

Mr. Vandal in Secret

Yanied, I have just uncovered an attacker who needs blocked immediately: Stareater666. Their Filthy Goblin Pest (5e Creature) page is a vandal page. I doubt its a coincidence that the goblin's tag was "nimda" whcich is admin spelled backward. Also, from reading the description and all that, I could see it was designed to criticize wiki admins and make them look like careless and hateful idiots who block users for no reason. Lastly, that "chant" in the description had a "3" next to it, and as it turns out, if you skip every 3 letters in that chant nonsense you get the letters to spell "i hate nuke the earth it is filthy jerk". I doubt that was an accident. Stareater is probably another 666 vandal or sockpuppet of AcidRat12345. Hopefully you find this helpful. --MythicActions2000 (talk) 23:18, 23 October 2021 (MDT)

Is it necessary for these here four creatures to have |nocategory on them, just wondering? I noticed that someone undid that. --Gdd4270 (talk) 14:11, 26 November 2021 (MST)

Yes, that nocategory parameter is what tells people the pages are specially made for supplements only, as it prevents them from appearing on the main search.--Yanied (talk) 14:24, 26 November 2021 (MST)

Keep it civil, darksyde. Allow me to refer you to the wiki's Behavioral Policy.

Christmas

I already have the reindeer and the elves (mine are Tinker Gnomes). Also, I have MOST of the monsters (mostly animated broken toys and ice golems). The biggest problem is that I don't have an idea for the big villain. I can't picture who would hate Christmas ( or at least Santa) enough to disrupt Christmas.

Theoretically, you could re-skin a pit fiend to be something like Krampus. Or re-skin Bel, former lord of Avernus, if you want something stronger.--Yanied (talk) 21:25, 22 December 2021 (MST)

I'll try that!!! Redrum (talk) 16:42, 29 December 2021 (MST)

Disclaimer Template

Yanied, what is the formula or code or whatever it is for the design disclaimer? I need the template for it just in case I have another race that needs it.--DarkSyde1369 (talk) 14:41, 14 January 2022 (MST)

You DELETED my favorite prestige class - FireBorn 3.5e! :(

Yaneid, WHY did you just now delete this PRESTIGE class? I need at least a backup copy of it if you are going to purge it forever -- is it gone forever? You just deleted it and it was one of my most favorite classes and 1 of my games needs it! :( -- ProphetPX (talk) 01:21, 28 January 2022 (MST)

You do realize it was not deleted per se(but it could, judging from abandoned tag and all), just moved and reworked to 5e? Right here: HERE. You can find it's old description in history tab. Also, I'm pretty sure nothing on this wiki is permanently lost, even if deleted. And all of this was written on the page of this prestige class too :/ --Cezaryx (talk) 06:34, 28 January 2022 (MST)

If you've got interest in finishing the original, it can be restored if you wish. Otherwise, the history tab works fine. --SwankyPants (talk) 07:05, 28 January 2022 (MST)

The original thing had empty fluff sections in the adaptation bit that were left unfixed. I have posted a link to an archived copy of it to your talk page.--Yanied (talk) 11:00, 28 January 2022 (MST)

Propability is a thing in Dungeons and Dragons

Hey, so I went into all races, picked three at random, to check if anything is out of place, balancing is well and good, it's not left unfinished, all that jazz. 3 races at random from the list of all races. All three of them had an art included made by you. Really, what were the odds? --Cezaryx (talk) 07:44, 3 February 2022 (MST)

Amazing. I don't even remember making that many... --Yanied (talk) 18:17, 3 February 2022 (MST)

Nymph II Templates

Hi I am Michaellai and I wanted to say that Yanied was not nice to me as a beginner in dnd wiki I wanted to team up with u—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Michaellai (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts.

I apologize if my curtness is unwelcoming. If you need help with 3.5e, be sure to ask a helper on the helper list in the appropriate edition for tips.--Yanied (talk) 21:29, 2 March 2022 (MST)

Hey are u a Nerd or Geek, I’m A nerd

Dood I am More nerdy than I’m geeky, cause I read Tolkien books and has a lot of knowledge about monsters from different countries. So if any of u, fellow dnd wikians, maybe take some time talking about that.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Michaellai (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts.

I guess I consider myself a nerd. Tolkein is a hit minor in terms of monsters for my taste since lots of monsters exist outside Europe and occidental ideas of the orient. Looks like you got the hang of headers, which is good. Just don't forget to sign your posts! --Yanied (talk) 07:09, 3 March 2022 (MST)

What is the difference between being a nerd and being a geek? I thought both (mostly) meant the same thing. (You are allowed to call me an idiot or a boob on this one.) Redrum (talk) 09:04, 2 April 2022 (MDT)

Apparently nerds are studious while geeks are passionate. So it's like the difference between and intelligence and charisma caster lol. Having learned that, I might just be a geek rather than a nerd.--Yanied (talk) 09:51, 2 April 2022 (MDT)

how do I move a page?

The help:article naming articke said that there is a move tab at the top of the page. as I cannot see it, I am pretty certin this must have changed. so: how do I move a page?

So, one has to be logged in to move pages. However, a lot of pages have been locked from moving due to vandalism. I can move it for you if you give me the link and tell me what you want to move it to.--Yanied (talk) 21:54, 16 March 2022 (MDT)

I dont have anything i want to move at the moment, I was just wondering. SnailWizard1 (talk) 05:57, 17 March 2022 (MDT)

Alright. So it seems you can move the page if you have a confirmed email due to recent changes. If you do so, you should be able to move pages.--Yanied (talk) 07:57, 17 March 2022 (MDT)

ah, thats why I can't. SnailWizard1 (talk) 14:48, 17 March 2022 (MDT)

Grisaire Classes Stolen

Is it OK with you if I steal some of your Grisaire classes for my Imperial Ghoul race? Arquebus (talk) 17:14, 6 April 2022 (MDT)

Depends what you mean by steal, exactly, lol. You can use them on the page, if that's what you mean, since I see a few of my other classes there already haha. They still have the setting tag, so that's fine.--Yanied (talk) 19:39, 6 April 2022 (MDT)

I means 'steal' humorously. Thank you. We have a very similar aesthetic. Maybe someday a couple of your classes and races could be adjusted for more general use. It'll probbly be years before I ca contribute to them much because I won't know what might be good until I actually start play testing the Imperial Ghoul race. Are you open to any simple ideas or adjustments? I could simply put them in talk first to see what you think. Arquebus (talk) 15:09, 7 April 2022 (MDT)

It's fine. The race reads a bit to me like ADnD monster entries ngl. I'll leave any suggestions I have on the page talk itself.--Yanied (talk) 17:47, 7 April 2022 (MDT)

D&D next

Is there a 6e D&D coming out? 23.251.18.223 09:34, 9 April 2022 (MDT)

I hear it is a near possibility. Not a fan, honestly. They likely want to stretch the cash cow that is 5e for a bit longer--Yanied (talk) 14:09, 9 April 2022 (MDT)

Potionmaker

Are there any 3.5e (or 5e) versions of the Potion of Delusion or potion of youth? Redrum (talk) 17:51, 13 April 2022 (MDT)

In official games, I do not think so. Those potions from 1e and 2e did not make it into the later editions, it seems. There is this.--Yanied (talk) 18:41, 13 April 2022 (MDT)

Site Question

What are the rules on SPAM? Is being an alleged Spammer a banning offense? 23.251.18.223 17:05, 20 April 2022 (MDT)

The rule on spam is "don't." — Geodude (talk | contribs | email)‎‎ . . 20:05, 20 April 2022 (MDT)

Yep it can be an auto-ticket to ban town :D --Yanied (talk) 20:49, 20 April 2022 (MDT)

Alchemy

Has anyone tried to post an Alchemical Flamethrower? Has anyone posted a vehicle that uses Alchemist's Fire ( or a variant) as fuel? 23.251.18.223 08:49, 30 April 2022 (MDT)

Don't believe so. Sounds interesting I guess.--Yanied (talk) 16:58, 30 April 2022 (MDT)

Page Restoration Request

Hi Yanied, I heard you do page restorations, can you restore this page for me? https://www.dandwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Cthulhu_(5e_Race)&action=edit&redlink=1

I just need it up long enough that I can copy it down for my game, thanks.

It has been restored. I will take it back down within the hour. Cthulhu (5e Race)--Yanied (talk) 20:37, 1 September 2022 (MDT)

Cursed Sentient items

hi yanied where do i put a item that is cursed and sentient —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Litpanda (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts.

Hi Litpanda, you can add the categories for cursed and sentient as needed. It will automatically categorize them that way into the appropriate lists.--Yanied (talk) 20:20, 8 December 2023 (MST)

Thanks i will do that—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Litpanda (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts.

Conversation with Johnsmith82!

Hey man, long time no see :D My discord account got nuked, but I was the guy on the D&D forums talked about class variants and such, and modifying existing races. Because my account is all weird, I figured I'd talk to you here instead (I can't really use discord right now). If you have any questions or just want to shoot the [expletive], let me know :D Also good work, keep it up JohnSmith82 (talk) 09:55, 4 March 2024 (MST)

Hey man, sorry to hear about your account. Yeah, you were the one other person on the 4e channel other than Jagon haha. Let me know if you get the account sorted out and need back in on the wiki discord.--Yanied (talk) 19:12, 5 March 2024 (MST)

Pyronite traits in revalance

Hey yanied, I was fixing the Pyronite race with the specifications you gave, I hope the changes will be included in the parameters but I'm confused with the part about the flight speed, I don't understand what you meant in that part, can you explain me? and by the way could you take a look at the race to see if I should fix something else or what I have done is enough. --Mr. Knight 2:27, 4 abril 2024

Sure, no prob. I'll go over to the race page for ease of visibility--Yanied (talk) 19:21, 3 April 2024 (MDT)

lich bane

thank alot for your input , iust go through the wiki and found the plant interesting and still lacking in usege so i try to edit it side note , can you help me come up with a new name for yhe plant since it wont be lichbane any more side side note , how do you add alink into the edit

thank for your help —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aloff (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts.

Hi Aloff, happy to help. It's actually okay if you want to keep the name lichbane. It would just be called "Lichbane, Variant" to show that there are other pages of the same name. Other ideas I got for the plant description you wrote up is:

• Deathbloom
• Vecna's Reed
• Bonegrass

A silly one I thought of was "bambone" XD

As for links, you use [[ ]] on the sides of the page title! Let me know if this helps.--User:Yanied -- (talk) 19:57, 3 July 2024 (MDT)

this help me a lot , so thank you for that . As for the name , I think I will go with Eternal Rest --User:Aloff --

Don't forget the ending identifier. So it would be "Eternal Rest (5e Plantfungi)." Happy brewing!--Yanied (talk) 20:26, 3 July 2024 (MDT)

By the way would you like me to change the lichbane page to was it was before Also, how do people edit in image --User:Aloff --

Ah, no, it's fine, I have already finished the page. As for images, it is recommended that you use an image holder for externally hosted pictures. Only pictures that have proper copyright permissions should be uploaded to the wiki. Let me know if you need any help--Yanied (talk) 10:39, 5 July 2024 (MDT)
