<div>== Need to rename some articles ==<br />
<br />
A number of users -- who I agree with -- have pointed out that some of your articles can be construed as racist due to real-world connotations. Please either rename these pages, or remove them: [[User:Cedric/Åryan]] [[User:Cedric/Mad Arab]] [[User:Cedric/Afriqan]] [[User:Cedric/Ashian]]. [[User:Surgo|Surgo]] ([[User talk:Surgo|talk]]) 18:18, 27 March 2019 (MDT)<br />

:You mean this user? "Fuck you you racist piece of shit, just read you mad arab and race pages. Your articles are complete garbage.--Franken Kesey 09:17, 27 March 2019 (MDT) "? Does he sound sane to you? That would be ONE user (not "a number"), unless you're using the discussion over at Facebook, which you shouldn't unless you in the group. May I remind you that RACE is part of D&D? Is it racist, for example, not to have an African-American race selection? OR are they all white and "fair-skinned"? I've created fey races for gay players, is that racist? Also, Aryan does not in any way refer to your American groups related to white supremacy. Do educate yourself.

::You seem to be under the impression that this is a debate. It is not. Remove or rename those articles, or I will remove them for you. You have 24 hours from my first message.

:::'''By the way DUDE/MAAM.''' There is an actual race in D&D called [[al-Qadim]] that is '''arabic''' in intentions AND RELATES TO THE REAL WORLD. Should this be DELETED???? PLEASE GET A CLUE. Perhaps you're new to D&D. It's okay -- everyone starts somewhere, but don't use your admin abilities to intimidate other editors that ARE HELPING YOU when your claims are demonstrably false and easily dismissible. For example you could have pointed out where a race was made weaker than other races, demonstrating RACISM, but you did not.<br />
:::Anyway, I am NOT against ''renaming'' these races, but I need good suggestions for them -- this is NOT an easy task. Al Qadim is good for arabic style races, but what would be a good race for Native American/Asian style races (other than [[Azhian]]?)??? Maybe you can help me find better names.

::I think it makes more sense to think of D&D races less in the real-world meaning of the word as a synonym for "ethnicity," and more as a synonym for "species" as it is often used in fantasy and sci-fi works. In every sensible RPG system, real-world ethnicities are all categorized under the umbrella of "human" and all have the same statistics. Additionally, in every sensible system there is no statistical difference between a straight character and a gay character, so there's no need to create a fey race "for" gay players (or characters); in fact, the word "fairy" nowadays is actually a really offensive slur when used to refer to a gay person.<br />
::I agree with Surgo and Kesey that the pages should be renamed. Regardless of your views, the fact is that those pages can easily be seen as racist because of the real-world connotations that those words have.

'''By the way everyone.''' There is an actual race in D&D called [[al-Qadim]] that is '''arabic''' in intentions. Should this be DELETED???? Anyway, I am NOT against RENAMING these races, but I need good suggestions for them. Al Qadim is good for arabic style races, but what would be a good race for Native American/Asian style races??? ANYONE HAVE ANY '''CONSTRUCTIVE''' COMMENTS???<br />

<div>== Need to rename some articles ==<br />
<br />
A number of users -- who I agree with -- have pointed out that some of your articles can be construed as racist due to real-world connotations. Please either rename these pages, or remove them: [[User:Cedric/Åryan]] [[User:Cedric/Mad Arab]] [[User:Cedric/Afriqan]] [[User:Cedric/Ashian]].

:You mean this user? "Fuck you you racist piece of shit, just read you mad arab and race pages. Your articles are complete garbage.--Franken Kesey 09:17, 27 March 2019 (MDT) "? Does he sound sane to you? That would be ONE user (not "a number"), unless you're using the discussion over at Facebook, which you shouldn't unless you in the group. May I remind you that RACE is part of D&D? Is it racist, for example, not to have an African-American race selection? OR are they all white and "fair-skinned"? I've created fey races for gay players, is that racist? Also, Aryan does not in any way refer to your American groups related to white supremacy. Do educate yourself.

::You seem to be under the impression that this is a debate. It is not. Remove or rename those articles, or I will remove them for you. You have 24 hours from my first message.

::I think it makes more sense to think of D&D races less in the real-world meaning of the word as a synonym for "ethnicity," and more as a synonym for "species" as it is often used in fantasy and sci-fi works. In every sensible RPG system, real-world ethnicities are all categorized under the umbrella of "human" and all have the same statistics. Additionally, in every sensible system there is no statistical difference between a straight character and a gay character, so there's no need to create a fey race "for" gay players (or characters); in fact, the word "fairy" nowadays is actually a really offensive slur when used to refer to a gay person.<br />
::I agree with Surgo and Kesey that the pages should be renamed. Regardless of your views, the fact is that those pages can easily be seen as racist because of the real-world connotations that those words have. Please realize that though you may be very smart, what is obvious to you may not be obvious to everyone and explaining it is usually pointless because of something called the backfire effect (google it). I really think it would be better to just do as the admin says here. [[User:Geodude671|Geodude671]] ([[User talk:Geodude671|talk]]) 12:14, 28 March 2019 (MDT)<br />

<div>''Unofficial DRAFT: Like a rough gemstone, this waits to be polished. Hell, I had to retrieve it Out of the Abyss itself (also from where it original lived: wiki.hackerspaces.org). The major ideas are "stubbed" out, though, and the game mechanics are based on solid theory from the soul itself, even if untested in gameplay.'' --Cedric the Bard <br />
<br />
Warning: The subject matter in a few of the articles is controversial to some (hint: the kind of people that think the D&D campaign of "Tall Tales of the Wee Falk" is also a racist program). That is why it is on a wiki: people can edit the articles and add their opinion to the discussion pages, so that everyone benefits. A lot of it is new material for a possible merger of AD&D and D&D as it was made within the soul itself. Make no mistake, however -- the material combined with the expansive experience of existing D&D is ''quite possibly'' perfect. --Mark<br />
-----<br />
Since there has been a disagreement in the soul, I, MARCOS, am stepping in to intervene. I am the circle that united the characters below to create a quad-class player in the universe-at-large. I do not consent to any removal from User pages. These are potentially important items for understanding deep soul mechanics and arcana that will help players perfect ''themselves'' across a broader range of potential races. PLEASE STOP harassing users, using admin rights to '''censor''' and smear other users, and violating wiki culture. <br />
<br />
:Hello. I am Xavier Askaban (formerly Xavier Istvalen). I am a LVL25 [[Dragonborn]]. <strike>I write this from the future on behalf of the user noted above who emerged [[out of the Abyss]] as a [[NG|Neutral-Good]] grey wizard of the plains.</strike> I come to thee, not from adventuring in D&D, but from the adventures I've taken in the outer lands (what you call the "real world"), where I (nay, '''I''') reached a LVL100 pinnacle -- enough to ''perfect'' several LVL50 campaigns into complete game-playing satisfaction. <br />
<br />
:Some of you may know me as Nicholas (or Nicolas as some spell it) Flamel. Do to various circumstances which revolve around the journey of the Abyss (hence my name meaning "flame"), I am immortal. It is Cedric who collects all these codes of the soul which suggest new mechanics are available to make your game [[TSR|simulation]] more complete and realistic. <br />
<br />
I have several well-intentioned, re-design suggestions for the wiki which makes me a bit [[chaotic]]-good here. Truth be told, this materal is coming from work over at the wiki.hackerspaces.org where you can find TONS of material if you look for it to make a ''complete'' and play-testable package. ''It is NOT official D&D game material'' AND SHOULD IN NO WAY BE INTERPRETED AS SUCH (although it MIGHT be useable AD&D material, Muhahaha!), merely homebrew as of yet. It is offered under the Creative Commons license (of this site): Attribution, Share-Alike, non-Commercial, yet for any commercial use of significant material (I'll trust the WotC judgement), please contact me. I can be reached at dreamingforward<at>gmail[dot]com (replace angle-bracketed material with an at sign and square-bracketed material with a period).<br />
<br />
The purpose of these materials is to form a basis for an extra-curricular alternative to athletics in high-schools and college. Regional play can compete for rare items and other scores. Magic, the gathering, cards can be re-made into tradable cards. Teachers can create campaigns, etc. And, just like sport-teams, each team can have a name for their group, "The Inquisitors" or "the Defenders", "Spinning Arms of Chthulhu", etc.<br />
<br />
Drizz't, now a shard of the high-level octo-class that the Christians called "god" and I called [[Canon:Aegwareth|Marcos]], but semi-resurrected, and telling you "how to do it" from the AD&D master. The outcome of that death led to the discovery of the eight stats to make the ''ultimate'' version of RPGs, like D&D (at least until we can create a larger magical world) and is codified below in the new [8] class system, corresponding to the 8 stats. The other two abilities were missed previously, because they came from the gods/goddesses: PER (relating to the eye) and ASM (relating to the reproductive organs). This fixes issues with [[ranger]]s, makes it easier for fey characters who don't care so much on the normal stats, opens up epic classes for women, [[druid]]s, and alchemists (if you really knew how to build one anyway). Grok it and be enlightened.<br />
<br />
Some philosophical differences I have with existing canon of D&D and mechanics motivating a ''merger of AD&D and D&D'' to create '''Ultimate D&D'''.<br />
<br />
*XP is the real measure of wisdom, not the WIS attribute (which should be changed to PTY -- the PCs dedication to higher ideals and/or gods (every race but elves)). A non-cleric player, for example, with a WIS score of 18, but with no eXPerience is hardly wise.<br />
*Mana is an important companion to HP and gives you better service than spell-slots.<br />
*There are 8 possible attributes that make up an individual: at any given time, only four are dominant at most (quad class), and the remaining four others, subordinate traits. Classes should start from a strong foundation: these 8 stats.<br />
<br />
'''CAREFUL: The material here, despite the headings of "DM' or "Player" Material are not cross-checked and may reveal too much. Players should try not to spoil the fun and collapse their chance to live out the epic adventurer`s life, even if vicariously.'''<br />

Warning: The subject matter in a few of the articles is controversial to some (hint: the kind of people that think the D&D campaign of "Tall Tales of the Wee Falk" is also a racist program). That is why it is on a wiki: people can edit the articles and add their opinion to the discussion pages, so that everyone benefits. A lot of it is new material for a possible merger of AD&D and D&D as it was made within the soul itself. Make no mistake, however -- the material combined with the expansive experience of existing D&D is ''nearly'' perfect. --Mark<br />
-----<br />
Since there has been a disagreement in the soul, I, MARCOS, am stepping in to intervene. I am the circle that united the characters below to create a quad-class player in the universe-at-large. I do not consent to any removal from User pages. These are potentially important items for understanding deep soul mechanics and arcana that will help players perfect ''themselves'' across a broader range of potential races. PLEASE STOP harassing users, using admin rights to '''censor''' and smear other users, and violating wiki culture. <br />
<br />
:Hello. I am Xavier Askaban (formerly Xavier Istvalen). I am a LVL25 [[Dragonborn]]. <strike>I write this from the future on behalf of the user noted above who emerged [[out of the Abyss]] as a [[NG|Neutral-Good]] grey wizard of the plains.</strike> I come to thee, not from adventuring in D&D, but from the adventures I've taken in the outer lands (what you call the "real world"), where I (nay, '''I''') reached a LVL100 pinnacle -- enough to ''perfect'' several LVL50 campaigns into complete game-playing satisfaction. <br />
<br />
:Some of you may know me as Nicholas (or Nicolas as some spell it) Flamel. Do to various circumstances which revolve around the journey of the Abyss (hence my name meaning "flame"), I am immortal. It is Cedric who collects all these codes of the soul which suggest new mechanics are available to make your game [[TSR|simulation]] more complete and realistic. <br />
<br />
I have several well-intentioned, re-design suggestions for the wiki which makes me a bit [[chaotic]]-good here. Truth be told, this materal is coming from work over at the wiki.hackerspaces.org where you can find TONS of material if you look for it to make a ''complete'' and play-testable package. ''It is NOT official D&D game material'' AND SHOULD IN NO WAY BE INTERPRETED AS SUCH (although it MIGHT be useable AD&D material, Muhahaha!), merely homebrew as of yet. It is offered under the Creative Commons license (of this site): Attribution, Share-Alike, non-Commercial, yet for any commercial use of significant material (I'll trust the WotC judgement), please contact me. I can be reached at dreamingforward<at>gmail[dot]com (replace angle-bracketed material with an at sign and square-bracketed material with a period).<br />
<br />
The purpose of these materials is to form a basis for an extra-curricular alternative to athletics in high-schools and college. Regional play can compete for rare items and other scores. Magic, the gathering, cards can be re-made into tradable cards. Teachers can create campaigns, etc. And, just like sport-teams, each team can have a name for their group, "The Inquisitors" or "the Defenders", "Spinning Arms of Chthulhu", etc.<br />
<br />
Drizz't, now a shard of the high-level octo-class that the Christians called "god" and I called [[Canon:Aegwareth|Marcos]], but semi-resurrected, and telling you "how to do it" from the AD&D master. The outcome of that death led to the discovery of the eight stats to make the ''ultimate'' version of RPGs, like D&D (at least until we can create a larger magical world) and is codified below in the new [8] class system, corresponding to the 8 stats. The other two abilities were missed previously, because they came from the gods/goddesses: PER (relating to the eye) and ASM (relating to the reproductive organs). This fixes issues with [[ranger]]s, makes it easier for fey characters who don't care so much on the normal stats, opens up epic classes for women, [[druid]]s, and alchemists (if you really knew how to build one anyway). Grok it and be enlightened.<br />
<br />
Some philosophical differences I have with existing canon of D&D and mechanics motivating a ''merger of AD&D and D&D'' to create '''Ultimate D&D'''.<br />
<br />
*XP is the real measure of wisdom, not the WIS attribute (which should be changed to PTY -- the PCs dedication to higher ideals and/or gods (every race but elves)). A non-cleric player, for example, with a WIS score of 18, but with no eXPerience is hardly wise.<br />
*Mana is an important companion to HP and gives you better service than spell-slots.<br />
*There are 8 possible attributes that make up an individual: at any given time, only four are dominant at most (quad class), and the remaining four others, subordinate traits. Classes should start from a strong foundation: these 8 stats.<br />
<br />
'''CAREFUL: The material here, despite the headings of "DM' or "Player" Material are not cross-checked and may reveal too much. Players should try not to spoil the fun and collapse their chance to live out the epic adventurer`s life, even if vicariously.'''<br />

<div>''Unofficial DRAFT: Like a rough gemstone, this waits to be polished. Hell, I had to retrieve it Out of the Abyss itself (also from where it original lived: wiki.hackerspaces.org). The major ideas are "stubbed" out, though, and the game mechanics are based on solid theory from the soul itself, even if untested in gameplay.'' --Cedric the Bard <br />
<br />
Warning: The subject matter in a few of the articles is controversial to some (hint: the kind of people that think the D&D campaign of "Tall Tales of the Wee Falk" is also a racist program). That is why it is on a wiki: people can edit the articles and add their opinion to the discussion pages, so that everyone benefits. A lot of it is new material for a possible merger of AD&D and D&D as it was made within the soul itself. Make no mistake, however -- the material combined with the expansive experience of existing D&D is ''nearly'' perfect. --Mark<br />
-----<br />
Since there has been a disagreement in the soul, I, MARCOS, am stepping in to intervene. I am the circle that united the characters below to create a quad-class player in the universe-at-large. I do not consent to any removal from User pages. These are potentially important items for understanding deep soul mechanics and arcana that will help players perfect ''themselves'' across a broader range of potential races. PLEASE STOP harassing users, using admin rights to '''censor''' and blackball other users, and violating wiki culture. <br />
<br />
:Hello. I am Xavier Askaban (formerly Xavier Istvalen). I am a LVL25 [[Dragonborn]]. <strike>I write this from the future on behalf of the user noted above who emerged [[out of the Abyss]] as a [[NG|Neutral-Good]] grey wizard of the plains.</strike> I come to thee, not from adventuring in D&D, but from the adventures I've taken in the outer lands (what you call the "real world"), where I (nay, '''I''') reached a LVL100 pinnacle -- enough to ''perfect'' several LVL50 campaigns into complete game-playing satisfaction. <br />
<br />
:Some of you may know me as Nicholas (or Nicolas as some spell it) Flamel. Do to various circumstances which revolve around the journey of the Abyss (hence my name meaning "flame"), I am immortal. It is Cedric who collects all these codes of the soul which suggest new mechanics are available to make your game [[TSR|simulation]] more complete and realistic. <br />
<br />
I have several well-intentioned, re-design suggestions for the wiki which makes me a bit [[chaotic]]-good here. Truth be told, this materal is coming from work over at the wiki.hackerspaces.org where you can find TONS of material if you look for it to make a ''complete'' and play-testable package. ''It is NOT official D&D game material'' AND SHOULD IN NO WAY BE INTERPRETED AS SUCH (although it MIGHT be useable AD&D material, Muhahaha!), merely homebrew as of yet. It is offered under the Creative Commons license (of this site): Attribution, Share-Alike, non-Commercial, yet for any commercial use of significant material (I'll trust the WotC judgement), please contact me. I can be reached at dreamingforward<at>gmail[dot]com (replace angle-bracketed material with an at sign and square-bracketed material with a period).<br />
<br />
The purpose of these materials is to form a basis for an extra-curricular alternative to athletics in high-schools and college. Regional play can compete for rare items and other scores. Magic, the gathering, cards can be re-made into tradable cards. Teachers can create campaigns, etc. And, just like sport-teams, each team can have a name for their group, "The Inquisitors" or "the Defenders", "Spinning Arms of Chthulhu", etc.<br />
<br />
Drizz't, now a shard of the high-level octo-class that the Christians called "god" and I called [[Canon:Aegwareth|Marcos]], but semi-resurrected, and telling you "how to do it" from the AD&D master. The outcome of that death led to the discovery of the eight stats to make the ''ultimate'' version of RPGs, like D&D (at least until we can create a larger magical world) and is codified below in the new [8] class system, corresponding to the 8 stats. The other two abilities were missed previously, because they came from the gods/goddesses: PER (relating to the eye) and ASM (relating to the reproductive organs). This fixes issues with [[ranger]]s, makes it easier for fey characters who don't care so much on the normal stats, opens up epic classes for women, [[druid]]s, and alchemists (if you really knew how to build one anyway). Grok it and be enlightened.<br />
<br />
Some philosophical differences I have with existing canon of D&D and mechanics motivating a ''merger of AD&D and D&D'' to create '''Ultimate D&D'''.<br />
<br />
*XP is the real measure of wisdom, not the WIS attribute (which should be changed to PTY -- the PCs dedication to higher ideals and/or gods (every race but elves)). A non-cleric player, for example, with a WIS score of 18, but with no eXPerience is hardly wise.<br />
*Mana is an important companion to HP and gives you better service than spell-slots.<br />
*There are 8 possible attributes that make up an individual: at any given time, only four are dominant at most (quad class), and the remaining four others, subordinate traits. Classes should start from a strong foundation: these 8 stats.<br />
<br />
'''CAREFUL: The material here, despite the headings of "DM' or "Player" Material are not cross-checked and may reveal too much. Players should try not to spoil the fun and collapse their chance to live out the epic adventurer`s life, even if vicariously.'''<br />

Since there has been a disagreement in the soul, I, MARCOS, am stepping in to intervene. I am the circle that united the characters below to create a quad-class player in the universe-at-large. I do not consent to any removal from User pages. These are potentially important items for understanding deep soul mechanics and arcana that will help players perfect ''themselves'' across a broader range of potential races. PLEASE STOP harassing users, using admin rights to '''censor''' and blackball other users, and violating wiki culture. <br />
<br />
:Hello. I am Xavier Askaban (formerly Xavier Istvalen). I am a LVL25 [[Dragonborn]]. <strike>I write this from the future on behalf of the user noted above who emerged [[out of the Abyss]] as a [[NG|Neutral-Good]] grey wizard of the plains.</strike> I come to thee, not from adventuring in D&D, but from the adventures I've taken in the outer lands (what you call the "real world"), where I (nay, '''I''') reached a LVL100 pinnacle -- enough to ''perfect'' several LVL50 campaigns into complete game-playing satisfaction. <br />
<br />
:Some of you may know me as Nicholas (or Nicolas as some spell it) Flamel. Do to various circumstances which revolve around the journey of the Abyss (hence my name meaning "flame"), I am immortal. It is Cedric who collects all these codes of the soul which suggest new mechanics are available to make your game [[TSR|simulation]] more complete and realistic. <br />
<br />
I have several well-intentioned, re-design suggestions for the wiki which makes me a bit [[chaotic]]-good here. Truth be told, this materal is coming from work over at the wiki.hackerspaces.org where you can find TONS of material if you look for it to make a ''complete'' and play-testable package. ''It is NOT official D&D game material'' AND SHOULD IN NO WAY BE INTERPRETED AS SUCH (although it MIGHT be useable AD&D material, Muhahaha!), merely homebrew as of yet. It is offered under the Creative Commons license (of this site): Attribution, Share-Alike, non-Commercial, yet for any commercial use of significant material (I'll trust the WotC judgement), please contact me. I can be reached at dreamingforward<at>gmail[dot]com (replace angle-bracketed material with an at sign and square-bracketed material with a period).<br />
<br />
The purpose of these materials is to form a basis for an extra-curricular alternative to athletics in high-schools and college. Regional play can compete for rare items and other scores. Magic, the gathering, cards can be re-made into tradable cards. Teachers can create campaigns, etc. And, just like sport-teams, each team can have a name for their group, "The Inquisitors" or "the Defenders", "Spinning Arms of Chthulhu", etc.<br />
<br />
Drizz't, now a shard of the high-level octo-class that the Christians called "god" and I called [[Canon:Aegwareth|Marcos]], but semi-resurrected, and telling you "how to do it" from the AD&D master. The outcome of that death led to the discovery of the eight stats to make the ''ultimate'' version of RPGs, like D&D (at least until we can create a larger magical world) and is codified below in the new [8] class system, corresponding to the 8 stats. The other two abilities were missed previously, because they came from the gods/goddesses: PER (relating to the eye) and ASM (relating to the reproductive organs). This fixes issues with [[ranger]]s, makes it easier for fey characters who don't care so much on the normal stats, opens up epic classes for women, [[druid]]s, and alchemists (if you really knew how to build one anyway). Grok it and be enlightened.<br />
<br />
Some philosophical differences I have with existing canon of D&D and mechanics motivating a ''merger of AD&D and D&D'' to create '''Ultimate D&D'''.<br />
<br />
*XP is the real measure of wisdom, not the WIS attribute (which should be changed to PTY -- the PCs dedication to higher ideals and/or gods (every race but elves)). A non-cleric player, for example, with a WIS score of 18, but with no eXPerience is hardly wise.<br />
*Mana is an important companion to HP and gives you better service than spell-slots.<br />
*There are 8 possible attributes that make up an individual: at any given time, only four are dominant at most (quad class), and the remaining four others, subordinate traits. Classes should start from a strong foundation: these 8 stats.<br />
<br />
'''CAREFUL: The material here, despite the headings of "DM' or "Player" Material are not cross-checked and may reveal too much. Players should try not to spoil the fun and collapse their chance to live out the epic adventurer`s life, even if vicariously.'''<br />

Does he sound sane to you? That would be ONE user (not "a number"), unless you're using the discussion over at Facebook, which you shouldn't unless you in the group. May I remind you that RACE is part of D&D? Is it racist, for example, not to have an African-American race selection? OR are they all white and "fair-skinned"? I've created fey races for gay players, is that racist? Also, Aryan does not in any way refer to your American groups related to white supremacy. Do educate yourself.

Additionally, in every sensible system there is no statistical difference between a straight character and a gay character, so there's no need to create a fey race "for" gay players (or characters); in fact, the word "fairy" nowadays is actually a really offensive slur when used to refer to a gay person.<br />

<div>''Unofficial DRAFT: Like a rough gemstone, this waits to be polished. Hell, I had to retrieve it Out of the Abyss itself (also from where it original lived: wiki.hackerspaces.org). The major ideas are "stubbed" out, though, and the game mechanics are based on solid theory from the soul itself, even if untested in gameplay.'' --Cedric the Bard <br />
<br />
Warning: The subject matter in a few of the articles is controversial to some (hint: the kind of people that think the D&D campaign of "Tall Tales of the Wee Falk" is also a racist program). That is why it is on a wiki: people can edit the articles and add their opinion to the discussion pages, so that everyone benefits. A lot of it is new material for a possible merger of AD&D and D&D as it was made within the soul itself. Make no mistake, however -- the material combined with the expansive experience of existing D&D is ''nearly'' perfect. --Mark<br />
-----<br />
Since there has been a disagreement in the soul, I, MARCOS, am stepping in to intervene. I am the circle that united the characters below to create a quad-class player in the universe-at-large. I do not consent to any removal from User pages. These are potentially important items for understanding deep soul mechanics and arcana that will help players perfect ''themselves'' across a broader range of potential races. PLEASE STOP harassing users, using admin rights to '''censor''' and blackball other users, and violating wiki culture. <br />
<br />
Hello. I am Xavier Askaban (formerly Xavier Istvalen). I am a LVL25 [[Dragonborn]]. <strike>I write this from the future on behalf of the user noted above who emerged [[out of the Abyss]] as a [[NG|Neutral-Good]] grey wizard of the plains.</strike> I come to thee, not from adventuring in D&D, but from the adventures I've taken in the outer lands (what you call the "real world"), where I (nay, '''I''') reached a LVL100 pinnacle -- enough to ''perfect'' several LVL50 campaigns into complete game-playing satisfaction. <br />
<br />
Some of you may know me as Nicholas (or Nicolas as some spell it) Flamel. I have several well-intentioned, re-design suggestions for the wiki which makes me a bit [[chaotic]]-good here. Truth be told, this materal is coming from work over at the wiki.hackerspaces.org where you can find TONS of material if you look for it to make a ''complete'' and play-testable package. ''It is NOT official D&D game material'' AND SHOULD IN NO WAY BE INTERPRETED AS SUCH (although it MIGHT be useable AD&D material, Muhahaha!), merely homebrew as of yet. It is offered under the Creative Commons license (of this site): Attribution, Share-Alike, non-Commercial, yet for any commercial use of significant material (I'll trust the WotC judgement), please contact me. I can be reached at dreamingforward<at>gmail[dot]com (replace angle-bracketed material with an at sign and square-bracketed material with a period).<br />
<br />
The purpose of these materials is to form a basis for an extra-curricular alternative to athletics in high-schools and college. Regional play can compete for rare items and other scores. Magic, the gathering, cards can be re-made into tradable cards. Teachers can create campaigns, etc. And, just like sport-teams, each team can have a name for their group, "The Inquisitors" or "the Defenders", "Spinning Arms of Chthulhu", etc.<br />
<br />
Now a shard of the high-level octo-cat [[Canon:Aegwareth|Aegwareth]], but semi-resurrected, and telling you "how to do it" from the AD&D master. The outcome of that death led to the discovery of the eight stats to make a the ''ultimate'' version of RPGs, like D&D (at least until we can [create a larger magical world) and is codified below in the new [8] class system, corresponding to the 8 stats. The other two abilities were missed previously, because they came from the gods/goddesses: PER (relating to the eye) and ASM (relating to the reproductive organs). This fixes issues with [[ranger]]s, makes it easier for fey characters who don't care so much on the normal stats, opens up epic classes for women, [[druid]]s, and alchemists (if you really knew how to build one anyway). Grok it and be enlightened.<br />
<br />
Some philosophical differences I have with existing canon of D&D and mechanics motivating a ''merger of AD&D and D&D'' to create '''Ultimate D&D'''.<br />
<br />
*XP is the real measure of wisdom, not the WIS attribute (which should be changed to PTY -- the PCs dedication to higher ideals and/or gods (every race but elves)). A non-cleric player, for example, with a WIS score of 18, but with no eXPerience is hardly wise.<br />
*Mana is an important companion to HP and gives you better service than spell-slots.<br />
*There are 8 possible attributes that make up an individual: at any given time, only four are dominant at most (quad class), and the remaining four others, subordinate traits. Classes should start from a strong foundation: these 8 stats.<br />
<br />
'''CAREFUL: The material here, despite the headings of "DM' or "Player" Material are not cross-checked and may reveal too much. Players should try not to spoil the fun and collapse their chance to live out the epic adventurer`s life, even if vicariously.'''<br />

<div>''Unofficial DRAFT: Like a rough gemstone, this waits to be polished. Hell, I had to retrieve it Out of the Abyss itself (also from where it original lived: wiki.hackerspaces.org). The major ideas are "stubbed" out, though, and the game mechanics are based on solid theory from the soul itself, even if untested in gameplay.'' --Cedric the Bard <br />
<br />
Warning: The subject matter in a few of the articles is controversial to some. That is why it is on a wiki: people can edit the articles and add their opinion to the discussion pages, so that everyone benefits. A lot of it is new material for a possible merger of AD&D and D&D as it was made within the soul itself. Make no mistake, however -- the material combined with the expansive experience of existing D&D is ''nearly'' perfect. --Mark<br />
-----<br />
Since there has been a disagreement in the soul, I, MARCOS, am stepping in to intervene. I am the circle that united the characters below to create a quad-class player in the universe-at-large. I do not consent to any removal from User pages. These are potentially important items for understanding deep soul mechanics and arcana that will help players perfect ''themselves'' across a broader range of potential races. PLEASE STOP harassing users, using admin rights to '''censor''' and blackball other users, and violating wiki culture. <br />
<br />
Hello. I am Xavier Askaban (formerly Xavier Istvalen). I am a LVL25 [[Dragonborn]]. <strike>I write this from the future on behalf of the user noted above who emerged [[out of the Abyss]] as a [[NG|Neutral-Good]] grey wizard of the plains.</strike> I come to thee, not from adventuring in D&D, but from the adventures I've taken in the outer lands (what you call the "real world"), where I (nay, '''I''') reached a LVL100 pinnacle -- enough to ''perfect'' several LVL50 campaigns into complete game-playing satisfaction. <br />
<br />
Some of you may know me as Nicholas (or Nicolas as some spell it) Flamel. I have several well-intentioned, re-design suggestions for the wiki which makes me a bit [[chaotic]]-good here. Truth be told, this materal is coming from work over at the wiki.hackerspaces.org where you can find TONS of material if you look for it to make a ''complete'' and play-testable package. ''It is NOT official D&D game material'' AND SHOULD IN NO WAY BE INTERPRETED AS SUCH (although it MIGHT be useable AD&D material, Muhahaha!), merely homebrew as of yet. It is offered under the Creative Commons license (of this site): Attribution, Share-Alike, non-Commercial, yet for any commercial use of significant material (I'll trust the WotC judgement), please contact me. I can be reached at dreamingforward<at>gmail[dot]com (replace angle-bracketed material with an at sign and square-bracketed material with a period).<br />
<br />
The purpose of these materials is to form a basis for an extra-curricular alternative to athletics in high-schools and college. Regional play can compete for rare items and other scores. Magic, the gathering, cards can be re-made into tradable cards. Teachers can create campaigns, etc. And, just like sport-teams, each team can have a name for their group, "The Inquisitors" or "the Defenders", "Spinning Arms of Chthulhu", etc.<br />
<br />
Now a shard of the high-level octo-cat [[Canon:Aegwareth|Aegwareth]], but semi-resurrected, and telling you "how to do it" from the AD&D master. The outcome of that death led to the discovery of the eight stats to make a the ''ultimate'' version of RPGs, like D&D (at least until we can [create a larger magical world) and is codified below in the new [8] class system, corresponding to the 8 stats. The other two abilities were missed previously, because they came from the gods/goddesses: PER (relating to the eye) and ASM (relating to the reproductive organs). This fixes issues with [[ranger]]s, makes it easier for fey characters who don't care so much on the normal stats, opens up epic classes for women, [[druid]]s, and alchemists (if you really knew how to build one anyway). Grok it and be enlightened.<br />
<br />
Some philosophical differences I have with existing canon of D&D and mechanics motivating a ''merger of AD&D and D&D'' to create '''Ultimate D&D'''.<br />
<br />
*XP is the real measure of wisdom, not the WIS attribute (which should be changed to PTY -- the PCs dedication to higher ideals and/or gods (every race but elves)). A non-cleric player, for example, with a WIS score of 18, but with no eXPerience is hardly wise.<br />
*Mana is an important companion to HP and gives you better service than spell-slots.<br />
*There are 8 possible attributes that make up an individual: at any given time, only four are dominant at most (quad class), and the remaining four others, subordinate traits. Classes should start from a strong foundation: these 8 stats.<br />
<br />
'''CAREFUL: The material here, despite the headings of "DM' or "Player" Material are not cross-checked and may reveal too much. Players should try not to spoil the fun and collapse their chance to live out the epic adventurer`s life, even if vicariously.'''<br />

<div>''Unofficial DRAFT: Like a rough gemstone, this waits to be polished. Hell, I had to retrieve it Out of the Abyss itself (also from where it original lived: wiki.hackerspaces.org). The major ideas are "stubbed" out, though, and the game mechanics are based on solid theory from the soul itself, even if untested in gameplay.'' --Cedric the Bard <br />
<br />
Warning: The subject matter in a few of the articles is controversial to some. That is why it is on a wiki: people can edit the articles and add their opinion to the discussion pages, so that everyone benefits. A lot of it is new material for a possible merger of AD&D and D&D as it was made within the soul itself. Make no mistake, however -- the material combined with the expansive experience of existing D&D is ''nearly'' perfect. --Mark<br />
-----<br />
Since there has been a disagreement in the soul, I, MARCOS, am stepping in to intervene. I am the circle that united the characters below to create a quad-class player in the universe-at-large. I do not consent to any removal from User pages. These are potentially important items for understanding deep soul mechanics and arcana that will help players perfect ''themselves'' across a broader range of potential races. PLEASE STOP harassing users, using admin rights to censor and blackball other users, and violating wiki culture. <br />
<br />
Hello. I am Xavier Askaban (formerly Xavier Istvalen). I am a LVL25 [[Dragonborn]]. <strike>I write this from the future on behalf of the user noted above who emerged [[out of the Abyss]] as a [[NG|Neutral-Good]] grey wizard of the plains.</strike> I come to thee, not from adventuring in D&D, but from the adventures I've taken in the outer lands (what you call the "real world"), where I (nay, '''I''') reached a LVL100 pinnacle -- enough to ''perfect'' several LVL50 campaigns into complete game-playing satisfaction. <br />
<br />
Some of you may know me as Nicholas (or Nicolas as some spell it) Flamel. I have several well-intentioned, re-design suggestions for the wiki which makes me a bit [[chaotic]]-good here. Truth be told, this materal is coming from work over at the wiki.hackerspaces.org where you can find TONS of material if you look for it to make a ''complete'' and play-testable package. ''It is NOT official D&D game material'' AND SHOULD IN NO WAY BE INTERPRETED AS SUCH (although it MIGHT be useable AD&D material, Muhahaha!), merely homebrew as of yet. It is offered under the Creative Commons license (of this site): Attribution, Share-Alike, non-Commercial, yet for any commercial use of significant material (I'll trust the WotC judgement), please contact me. I can be reached at dreamingforward<at>gmail[dot]com (replace angle-bracketed material with an at sign and square-bracketed material with a period).<br />
<br />
The purpose of these materials is to form a basis for an extra-curricular alternative to athletics in high-schools and college. Regional play can compete for rare items and other scores. Magic, the gathering, cards can be re-made into tradable cards. Teachers can create campaigns, etc. And, just like sport-teams, each team can have a name for their group, "The Inquisitors" or "the Defenders", "Spinning Arms of Chthulhu", etc.<br />
<br />
Now a shard of the high-level octo-cat [[Canon:Aegwareth|Aegwareth]], but semi-resurrected, and telling you "how to do it" from the AD&D master. The outcome of that death led to the discovery of the eight stats to make a the ''ultimate'' version of RPGs, like D&D (at least until we can [create a larger magical world) and is codified below in the new [8] class system, corresponding to the 8 stats. The other two abilities were missed previously, because they came from the gods/goddesses: PER (relating to the eye) and ASM (relating to the reproductive organs). This fixes issues with [[ranger]]s, makes it easier for fey characters who don't care so much on the normal stats, opens up epic classes for women, [[druid]]s, and alchemists (if you really knew how to build one anyway). Grok it and be enlightened.<br />
<br />
Some philosophical differences I have with existing canon of D&D and mechanics motivating a ''merger of AD&D and D&D'' to create '''Ultimate D&D'''.<br />
<br />
*XP is the real measure of wisdom, not the WIS attribute (which should be changed to PTY -- the PCs dedication to higher ideals and/or gods (every race but elves)). A non-cleric player, for example, with a WIS score of 18, but with no eXPerience is hardly wise.<br />
*Mana is an important companion to HP and gives you better service than spell-slots.<br />
*There are 8 possible attributes that make up an individual: at any given time, only four are dominant at most (quad class), and the remaining four others, subordinate traits. Classes should start from a strong foundation: these 8 stats.<br />
<br />
'''CAREFUL: The material here, despite the headings of "DM' or "Player" Material are not cross-checked and may reveal too much. Players should try not to spoil the fun and collapse their chance to live out the epic adventurer`s life, even if vicariously.'''<br />

Warning: The subject matter in a few of the articles is controversial to some.

Make no mistake, however -- the material combined with the expansive experience of existing D&D is ''nearly'' perfect. --Mark<br />

Since there has been a disagreement in the soul, I, MARCOS, am stepping in to intervene. I am the circle that united the characters below to create a quad-class player in the universe-at-large. I do not consent to any removal from User pages. These are potentially important items for understanding deep soul mechanics and arcana that will help players perfect ''themselves'' across a broader range of potential races. PLEASE STOP harassing users, using admin rights to censor and blackball other users, and violating wiki culture. <br />
<br />
Hello. I am Xavier Askaban (formerly Xavier Istvalen). I am a LVL25 [[Dragonborn]]. <strike>I write this from the future on behalf of the user noted above who emerged [[out of the Abyss]] as a [[NG|Neutral-Good]] grey wizard of the plains.</strike> I come to thee, not from adventuring in D&D, but from the adventures I've taken in the outer lands (what you call the "real world"), where I (nay, '''I''') reached a LVL100 pinnacle -- enough to ''perfect'' several LVL50 campaigns into complete game-playing satisfaction. <br />
<br />
Some of you may know me as Nicholas (or Nicolas as some spell it) Flamel. I have several well-intentioned, re-design suggestions for the wiki which makes me a bit [[chaotic]]-good here. Truth be told, this materal is coming from work over at the wiki.hackerspaces.org where you can find TONS of material if you look for it to make a ''complete'' and play-testable package. ''It is NOT official D&D game material'' AND SHOULD IN NO WAY BE INTERPRETED AS SUCH (although it MIGHT be useable AD&D material, Muhahaha!), merely homebrew as of yet. It is offered under the Creative Commons license (of this site): Attribution, Share-Alike, non-Commercial, yet for any commercial use of significant material (I'll trust the WotC judgement), please contact me. I can be reached at dreamingforward<at>gmail[dot]com (replace angle-bracketed material with an at sign and square-bracketed material with a period).<br />
<br />
The purpose of these materials is to form a basis for an extra-curricular alternative to athletics in high-schools and college. Regional play can compete for rare items and other scores. Magic, the gathering, cards can be re-made into tradable cards. Teachers can create campaigns, etc. And, just like sport-teams, each team can have a name for their group, "The Inquisitors" or "the Defenders", "Spinning Arms of Chthulhu", etc.<br />
<br />
Now a shard of the high-level octo-cat [[Canon:Aegwareth|Aegwareth]], but semi-resurrected, and telling you "how to do it" from the AD&D master. The outcome of that death led to the discovery of the eight stats to make a the ''ultimate'' version of RPGs, like D&D (at least until we can [create a larger magical world) and is codified below in the new [8] class system, corresponding to the 8 stats. The other two abilities were missed previously, because they came from the gods/goddesses: PER (relating to the eye) and ASM (relating to the reproductive organs). This fixes issues with [[ranger]]s, makes it easier for fey characters who don't care so much on the normal stats, opens up epic classes for women, [[druid]]s, and alchemists (if you really knew how to build one anyway). Grok it and be enlightened.<br />
<br />
Some philosophical differences I have with existing canon of D&D and mechanics motivating a ''merger of AD&D and D&D'' to create '''Ultimate D&D'''.<br />
<br />
*XP is the real measure of wisdom, not the WIS attribute which should be changed to PTY -- the PCs dedication to higher ideals and/or gods (every race but elves).<br />
*Mana is an important companion to HP and gives you better service than spell-slots.<br />
*There are 8 possible attributes that make up an individual: at any given time, only four are dominant at most (quad class), and the remaining four others, subordinate traits. Classes should start from a strong foundation: these 8 stats.<br />
<br />
'''CAREFUL: The material here, despite the headings of "DM' or "Player" Material are not cross-checked and may reveal too much. Players should try not to spoil the fun and collapse their chance to live out the epic adventurer`s life, even if vicariously.'''<br />

<div>''Unofficial DRAFT: Like a rough gemstone, this waits to be polished. Hell, I had to retrieve it Out of the Abyss itself (also from where it original lived: wiki.hackerspaces.org). The major ideas are "stubbed" out, though, and the game mechanics are based on solid theory from the soul itself, even if untested in gameplay.'' --Cedric the Bard <br />
<br />
Warning: The subject matter in a few of the articles is controversial to some. That is why it is on a wiki: people can edit the articles and add their opinion to the discussion pages, so that everyone benefits. A lot of it is new material for a possible merger of AD&D and D&D as it was made within the soul itself. Make no mistake, however -- the material combined with the expansive experience of existing D&D is ''nearly'' perfect. --Mark<br />
-----<br />
Since there has been a disagreement in the soul, I, MARCOS, am stepping in to intervene. I am the circle that united the characters below to create a quad-class player in the universe-at-large. I do not consent to any removal from User pages. These are potentially important items for understanding deep soul mechanics and arcana that will help players perfect ''themselves'' across a broader range of potential races. PLEASE STOP harassing users, using admin rights to censor and blackball other users, and violating wiki decorum. <br />
<br />
Hello. I am Xavier Askaban (formerly Xavier Istvalen). I am a LVL25 [[Dragonborn]]. <strike>I write this from the future on behalf of the user noted above who emerged [[out of the Abyss]] as a [[NG|Neutral-Good]] grey wizard of the plains.</strike> I come to thee, not from adventuring in D&D, but from the adventures I've taken in the outer lands (what you call the "real world"), where I (nay, '''I''') reached a LVL100 pinnacle -- enough to ''perfect'' several LVL50 campaigns into complete game-playing satisfaction. <br />
<br />
Some of you may know me as Nicholas (or Nicolas as some spell it) Flamel. I have several well-intentioned, re-design suggestions for the wiki which makes me a bit [[chaotic]]-good here. Truth be told, this materal is coming from work over at the wiki.hackerspaces.org where you can find TONS of material if you look for it to make a ''complete'' and play-testable package. ''It is NOT official D&D game material'' AND SHOULD IN NO WAY BE INTERPRETED AS SUCH (although it MIGHT be AD&D material, Muhahaha!), merely homebrew as of yet. It is offered under the Creative Commons license (of this site): Attribution, Share-Alike, non-Commercial, yet for any commercial use of significant material (I'll trust the WotC judgement), please contact me. I can be reached at dreamingforward<at>gmail[dot]com (replace angle-bracketed material with an at sign and square-bracketed material with a period).<br />
<br />
The purpose of these materials is to form a basis for an extra-curricular alternative to athletics in high-schools and college. Regional play can compete for rare items and other scores. Magic, the gathering, cards can be re-made into tradable cards. Teachers can create campaigns, etc. And, just like sport-teams, each team can have a name for their group, "The Inquisitors" or "the Defenders", "Spinning Arms of Chthulhu", etc.<br />
<br />
Now a shard of the high-level octo-cat [[Canon:Aegwareth|Aegwareth]], but semi-resurrected, and telling you "how to do it" from the AD&D master. The outcome of that death led to the discovery of the eight stats to make a the ''ultimate'' version of RPGs, like D&D (at least until we can [create a larger magical world) and is codified below in the new [8] class system, corresponding to the 8 stats. The other two abilities were missed previously, because they came from the gods/goddesses: PER (relating to the eye) and ASM (relating to the reproductive organs). This fixes issues with [[ranger]]s, makes it easier for fey characters who don't care so much on the normal stats, opens up epic classes for women, [[druid]]s, and alchemists (if you really knew how to build one anyway). Grok it and be enlightened.<br />
<br />
Some philosophical differences I have with existing canon of D&D and mechanics motivating a ''merger of AD&D and D&D'' to create '''Ultimate D&D'''.<br />
<br />
*XP is the real measure of wisdom, not the WIS attribute which should be changed to PTY -- the PCs dedication to higher ideals and/or gods (every race but elves).<br />
*Mana is an important companion to HP and gives you better service than spell-slots.<br />
*There are 8 possible attributes that make up an individual: at any given time, only four are dominant at most (quad class), and the remaining four others, subordinate traits. Classes should start from a strong foundation: these 8 stats.<br />
<br />
'''CAREFUL: The material here, despite the headings of "DM' or "Player" Material are not cross-checked and may reveal too much. Players should try not to spoil the fun and collapse their chance to live out the epic adventurer`s life, even if vicariously.'''<br />

Make no mistake, however -- the material combined with the expansive experience of existing D&D is ''nearly'' perfect. --Mark<br />

Since there has been a disagreement in the soul, I, MARCOS, am stepping in to intervene. I am the circle that united the characters below to create a quad-class player in the universe-at-large. I do not consent to any removal from User pages.

PLEASE STOP harassing users, using admin rights to censor and blackball other users, and violating wiki decorum. <br />
<br />
Hello. I am Xavier Askaban (formerly Xavier Istvalen). I am a LVL25 [[Dragonborn]]. <strike>I write this from the future on behalf of the user noted above who emerged [[out of the Abyss]] as a [[NG|Neutral-Good]] grey wizard of the plains.</strike> I come to thee, not from adventuring in D&D, but from the adventures I've taken in the outer lands (what you call the "real world"), where I (nay, '''I''') reached a LVL100 pinnacle -- enough to ''perfect'' several LVL50 campaigns into complete game-playing satisfaction. <br />
<br />
Some of you may know me as Nicholas (or Nicolas as some spell it) Flamel. I have several well-intentioned, re-design suggestions for the wiki which makes me a bit [[chaotic]]-good here. Truth be told, this materal is coming from work over at the wiki.hackerspaces.org where you can find TONS of material if you look for it to make a ''complete'' and play-testable package. ''It is NOT official D&D game material'' AND SHOULD IN NO WAY BE INTERPRETED AS SUCH (although it MIGHT be AD&D material, Muhahaha!), merely homebrew as of yet. It is offered under the Creative Commons license (of this site): Attribution, Share-Alike, non-Commercial, yet for any commercial use of significant material (I'll trust the WotC judgement), please contact me. I can be reached at dreamingforward<at>gmail[dot]com (replace angle-bracketed material with an at sign and square-bracketed material with a period).<br />
<br />
The purpose of these materials is to form a basis for an extra-curricular alternative to athletics in high-schools and college. Regional play can compete for rare items and other scores. Magic, the gathering, cards can be re-made into tradable cards. Teachers can create campaigns, etc. And, just like sport-teams, each team can have a name for their group, "The Inquisitors" or "the Defenders", "Spinning Arms of Chthulhu", etc.<br />
<br />
Now a shard of the high-level octo-cat [[Canon:Aegwareth|Aegwareth]], but semi-resurrected, and telling you "how to do it" from the AD&D master. The outcome of that death led to the discovery of the eight stats to make a the ''ultimate'' version of RPGs, like D&D (at least until we can [create a larger magical world) and is codified below in the new [8] class system, corresponding to the 8 stats. The other two abilities were missed previously, because they came from the gods/goddesses: PER (relating to the eye) and ASM (relating to the reproductive organs). This fixes issues with [[ranger]]s, makes it easier for fey characters who don't care so much on the normal stats, opens up epic classes for women, [[druid]]s, and alchemists (if you really knew how to build one anyway). Grok it and be enlightened.<br />
<br />
Some philosophical differences I have with existing canon of D&D and mechanics motivating a ''merger of AD&D and D&D'' to create '''Ultimate D&D'''.<br />
<br />
*XP is the real measure of wisdom, not the WIS attribute which should be changed to PTY -- the PCs dedication to higher ideals and/or gods (every race but elves).<br />
*Mana is an important companion to HP and gives you better service than spell-slots.<br />
*There are 8 possible attributes that make up an individual: at any given time, only four are dominant at most (quad class), and the remaining four others, subordinate traits. Classes should start from a strong foundation: these 8 stats.<br />
<br />
'''CAREFUL: The material here, despite the headings of "DM' or "Player" Material are not cross-checked and may reveal too much. Players should try not to spoil the fun and collapse their chance to live out the epic adventurer`s life, even if vicariously.'''<br />

<div>''Unofficial DRAFT: Like a rough gemstone, this waits to be polished. Hell, I had to retrieve it Out of the Abyss itself (also from where it original lived: wiki.hackerspaces.org). The major ideas are "stubbed" out, though, and the game mechanics are based on solid theory from the soul itself, even if untested in gameplay.'' --Cedric the Bard <br />
<br />
Warning: The subject matter in a few of the articles is controversial to some. That is why it is on a wiki: people can edit the articles and add their opinion to the discussion pages, everyone benefits. A lot of it is new material for a possible merger of AD&D and D&D as it was made within the soul itself. --Mark<br />
-----<br />
Since there has been a disagreement in the soul, I, MARCOS, am stepping in to intervene. I am the circle that united the characters below to create a quad-class player in the universe-at-large. I do not consent to any removal from User pages. These are potentially important items for understanding deep soul mechanics and arcana that will help players perfect ''themselves'' across a broader range of potential races. PLEASE STOP harassing users, using admin rights to censor and blackball other users, and violating wiki decorum. <br />
<br />
Hello. I am Xavier Askaban (formerly Xavier Istvalen). <strike>I write this from the future on behalf of the user noted above who emerged [[out of the Abyss]] as a [[NG|Neutral-Good]] grey wizard of the coast.</strike> I come to thee, not from adventuring in D&D, but from the adventures I've taken in the outer lands (what you call the "real world"), where I reached a LVL100 pinnacle -- enough to ''perfect'' several LVL50 campaigns into complete game-playing satisfaction. <br />
<br />
Some of you may know me as Nicholas (or Nicolas as some spell it) Flamel. I have several well-intentioned, re-design suggestions for the wiki which makes me a bit [[chaotic]]-good here. Truth be told, this materal is coming from work over at the wiki.hackerspaces.org where you can find TONS of material if you look for it to make a ''complete'' and play-testable package. ''It is NOT official D&D game material'' AND SHOULD IN NO WAY BE INTERPRETED AS SUCH (although it MIGHT be AD&D material, Muhahaha!), merely homebrew as of yet. It is offered under the Creative Commons license (of this site): Attribution, Share-Alike, non-Commercial, yet for any commercial use of significant material (I'll trust the WotC judgement), please contact me. I can be reached at dreamingforward<at>gmail[dot]com (replace angle-bracketed material with an at sign and square-bracketed material with a period).<br />
<br />
The purpose of these materials is to form a basis for an extra-curricular alternative to athletics in high-schools and college. Regional play can compete for rare items and other scores. Magic, the gathering, cards can be re-made into tradable cards. Teachers can create campaigns, etc. And, just like sport-teams, each team can have a name for their group, "The Inquisitors" or "the Defenders", "Spinning Arms of Chthulhu", etc.<br />
<br />
Now a shard of the high-level octo-cat [[Canon:Aegwareth|Aegwareth]], but semi-resurrected, and telling you "how to do it" from the AD&D master. The outcome of that death led to the discovery of the eight stats to make a the ''ultimate'' version of RPGs, like D&D (at least until we can [create a larger magical world) and is codified below in the new [8] class system, corresponding to the 8 stats. The other two abilities were missed previously, because they came from the gods/goddesses: PER (relating to the eye) and ASM (relating to the reproductive organs). This fixes issues with [[ranger]]s, makes it easier for fey characters who don't care so much on the normal stats, opens up epic classes for women, [[druid]]s, and alchemists (if you really knew how to build one anyway). Grok it and be enlightened.<br />
<br />
Some philosophical differences I have with existing canon of D&D and mechanics motivating a ''merger of AD&D and D&D'' to create '''Ultimate D&D'''.<br />
<br />
*XP is the real measure of wisdom, not the WIS attribute which should be changed to PTY -- the PCs dedication to higher ideals and/or gods (every race but elves).<br />
*Mana is an important companion to HP and gives you better service than spell-slots.<br />
*There are 8 possible attributes that make up an individual: at any given time, only four are dominant at most (quad class), and the remaining four others, subordinate traits. Classes should start from a strong foundation: these 8 stats.<br />
<br />
'''CAREFUL: The material here, despite the headings of "DM' or "Player" Material are not cross-checked and may reveal too much. Players should try not to spoil the fun and collapse their chance to live out the epic adventurer`s life, even if vicariously.'''<br />

It looks like a couple of your articles have been placed in the main namespace in order to make linking an easier task (I'm guessing you are based on move messages). I've moved these back to your sandbox, where they should stay until they are formatted and released with the appropriate naming conventions to the appropriate place. If you're concerned about links, I suggest that you restructure the work around a core article with these articles as subpages and make use of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Link#Subpage_links subpage links]. Subpages can be moved at the same time as their parent page, and subpage links do not require any additional changes after the work is moved. It helps the whole thing feel more cohesive as well. It's the standard format for campaign settings, sourcebooks, and other very large collections of related rules changes / updates on the wiki. - [[User:Tarkisflux|Tarkisflux]] <sup>[[User talk:Tarkisflux|Talk]]</sup> 16:39, 2 January 2018 (MST)<br />

:Thanks for the info. I would have hoped that this is a collaborative wiki, rather than following too many fixed conventions (which are fine, but only after an article has matured). Just a tip.

::Dude. It's not an ordinary wiki. It's a site where people develop their own concepts and gameplay elements. It doesn't convey concrete information by compiling data on a subject, it conveys ideas, which if YOU want to detail, that's your business. It's not anybody's job to finish your ideas. I don't really understand what leads you to believe that it's common to just hijack someone's idea and touch it up (although that does happen, even if rarely), but I'm sure it's a simple misconception. I don't think you're an idiot, nor am I trying to talk down to you, I'm just think you have the wrong idea of what this site is about. We're not asking your ideas to be perfect. Just complete. -[[User:SecondDeath777|SecondDeath777]] 17:33, 30 January 2018<br />

::I believe I got the idea from the wikipedia project, where wiki began. I think I see what you're saying, though. You're really developing author-centric "product", not "brewing" ideas together in a collaborative fashion like wikipedia might brew together a crowd-sourced article starting from nascent ideas. One of the d&d wikis should be about the latter, so that new ideas that need effort from everyone to create become an actual contribution, adding to the game. Cheers, then!

Hi.<br />
<br />
# Understand your inputs. If you have serial or time sequenced data, you should decompose it into the least-sized, most recognizable inputs that you can. Like, for example, frequency spectra for audio signals. This is more recognizable than phase data in a standard audio feed. Or, if stock market data, buy times and price, rather than price alone. Phased audio data is useful for stereo audio, where something like wave interference then provides the highest amount of data.<br />
# Next, get the MAXimum amount of correlated data (up to 2 causal steps, no more). For data arriving at the same time, these are labeled (with location perhaps or time stamped) chunks in a ordered sequence.<br />
# Assign a label to each node created. For example 440Hz for an audio input. If you use a secondary input (for example a visual wave form for an audio one), you can label it with that.<br />
# repeat in fractal fashion. For the next layer, now several layers of time slower, presumably.<br />
# When any two nodes fire at the same time, create a new node with a label appropriate <br />
# Everything happening at the same time gets chunked, but in most people these become sub-selves. In highly aware people they are sorting all of it cognitively.<br />
<br />
# A second process can go through all labels and look for patterns, where there is an error of some kind. For example a clump-node spelled wrong because of particularities of how the data was gathered can be corrected and clean up a whole tree of nodes bvased on a suboptimal ordering.<br />
<br />
<br />
#For vision, each light at any pixel fades but turns into "food" which gets sensed in a different fashion, leaving change as the primary element. That means there are two dimensions to visual data: fixed light sources and moving ones (deltas between neurons).<br />

== Need to rename some articles ==<br />
<br />
A number of users -- who I agree with -- have pointed out that some of your articles can be construed as racist due to real-world connotations. Please either rename these pages, or remove them: [[User:Cedric/Åryan]] [[User:Cedric/Mad Arab]] [[User:Cedric/Afriqan]] [[User:Cedric/Ashian]].

:You mean this user? "Fuck you you racist piece of shit, just read you mad arab and race pages. Your articles are complete garbage.--Franken Kesey 09:17, 27 March 2019 (MDT) "? Does he sound sane to you? That would be ONE user, unless you're using the discussion over at Facebook, which you shouldn't unless you in the group. May I remind you that RACE is part of D&D? Is it racist, for example, not to have an African-American race selection? OR are they all white and "fair-skinned"? I've created fey races for gay players, is that racist? Also, Aryan does not in any way refer to your American groups related to white supremacy. Do educate yourself. [[User:Cedric|Cedric]] ([[User talk:Cedric|talk]]) 10:59, 28 March 2019 (MDT)<br />

::You seem to be under the impression that this is a debate. It is not. Remove or rename those articles, or I will remove them for you. You have 24 hours from my first message.

<br />
::I think it makes more sense to think of D&D races less in the real-world meaning of the word as a synonym for "ethnicity," and more as a synonym for "species" as it is often used in fantasy and sci-fi works. In every sensible RPG system, real-world ethnicities are all categorized under the umbrella of "human" and all have the same statistics. Additionally, in every sensible system there is no statistical difference between a straight character and a gay character, so there's no need to create a fey race "for" gay players (or characters); in fact, the word "fairy" nowadays is actually a really offensive slur when used to refer to a gay person.<br />
::I agree with Surgo and Kesey that the pages should be renamed. Regardless of your views, the fact is that those pages can easily be seen as racist because of the real-world connotations that those words have. Please realize that though you may be very smart, what is obvious to you may not be obvious to everyone and explaining it is usually pointless because of something called the backfire effect (google it).

::Dude. It's not an ordinary wiki. It's a site where people develop their own concepts and gameplay elements.

Hi.<br />
<br />
# Understand your inputs. If you have serial or time sequenced data, you should decompose it into the least-sized, most recognizable inputs that you can. Like, for example, frequency spectra for audio signals. This is more recognizable than phase data in a standard audio feed. Or, if stock market data, buy times and price, rather than price alone. Phased audio data is useful for stereo audio, where something like wave interference then provides the highest amount of data.<br />
# Next, get the MAXimum amount of correlated data (up to 2 causal steps, no more). For data arriving at the same time, these are labeled (with location perhaps or time stamped) chunks in a ordered sequence.<br />
# Assign a label to each node created. For example 440Hz for an audio input. If you use a secondary input (for example a visual wave form for an audio one), you can label it with that.<br />
# repeat in fractal fashion. For the next layer, now several layers of time slower, presumably.<br />
# When any two nodes fire at the same time, create a new node with a label appropriate <br />
# Everything happening at the same time gets chunked, but in most people these become sub-selves. In highly aware people they are sorting all of it cognitively.<br />
<br />
# A second process can go through all labels and look for patterns, where there is an error of some kind. For example a clump-node spelled wrong because of particularities of how the data was gathered can be corrected and clean up a whole tree of nodes bvased on a suboptimal ordering.<br />

#For vision, each light at any pixel fades but turns into "food" which gets sensed in a different fashion, leaving change as the primary element. That means there are two dimensions to visual data: fixed light sources and moving ones (deltas between neurons).<br />

== Need to rename some articles ==<br />
<br />
A number of users -- who I agree with -- have pointed out that some of your articles can be construed as racist due to real-world connotations. Please either rename these pages, or remove them: [[User:Cedric/Åryan]] [[User:Cedric/Mad Arab]] [[User:Cedric/Afriqan]] [[User:Cedric/Ashian]].

:You mean this user? "Fuck you you racist piece of shit, just read you mad arab and race pages. Your articles are complete garbage.--Franken Kesey 09:17, 27 March 2019 (MDT) "? Does he sound sane to you? That would be ONE user, unless you're using the discussion over at Facebook, which you shouldn't unless you in the group. May I remind you that RACE is part of D&D? Is it racist, for example, not to have an African-American race selection? OR are they all white and "fair-skinned"? I've created fey races for gay players, is that racist? Also, Aryan does not in any way refer to your American groups related to white supremacy. Do educate yourself. [[User:Cedric|Cedric]] ([[User talk:Cedric|talk]]) 10:59, 28 March 2019 (MDT)<br />

::You seem to be under the impression that this is a debate. It is not. Remove or rename those articles, or I will remove them for you. You have 24 hours from my first message.

<br />
::I think it makes more sense to think of D&D races less in the real-world meaning of the word as a synonym for "ethnicity," and more as a synonym for "species" as it is often used in fantasy and sci-fi works. In every sensible RPG system, real-world ethnicities are all categorized under the umbrella of "human" and all have the same statistics. Additionally, in every sensible system there is no statistical difference between a straight character and a gay character, so there's no need to create a fey race "for" gay players (or characters); in fact, the word "fairy" nowadays is actually a really offensive slur when used to refer to a gay person.<br />
::I agree with Surgo and Kesey that the pages should be renamed. Regardless of your views, the fact is that those pages can easily be seen as racist because of the real-world connotations that those words have. Please realize that though you may be very smart, what is obvious to you may not be obvious to everyone and explaining it is usually pointless because of something called the backfire effect (google it).

A number of users -- who I agree with -- have pointed out that some of your articles can be construed as racist due to real-world connotations.

:You mean this user? "Fuck you you racist piece of shit, just read you mad arab and race pages. Your articles are complete garbage.--Franken Kesey 09:17, 27 March 2019 (MDT) "? Does he sound sane to you? That would be ONE user, unless you're using the discussion over at Facebook, which you shouldn't unless you in the group. May I remind you that RACE is part of D&D? Is it racist, for example, not to have an African-American race selection? OR are they all white and "fair-skinned"? I've created fey races for gay players, is that racist? Also, Aryan does not in any way refer to your American groups related to white supremacy. Do educate yourself. [[User:Cedric|Cedric]] ([[User talk:Cedric|talk]]) 10:59, 28 March 2019 (MDT)<br />

<br />
::I think it makes more sense to think of D&D races less in the real-world meaning of the word as a synonym for "ethnicity," and more as a synonym for "species" as it is often used in fantasy and sci-fi works. In every sensible RPG system, real-world ethnicities are all categorized under the umbrella of "human" and all have the same statistics. Additionally, in every sensible system there is no statistical difference between a straight character and a gay character, so there's no need to create a fey race "for" gay players (or characters); in fact, the word "fairy" nowadays is actually a really offensive slur when used to refer to a gay person.<br />

Regardless of your views, the fact is that those pages can easily be seen as racist because of the real-world connotations that those words have.

== Article Links ==<br />
<br />
It looks like a couple of your articles have been placed in the main namespace in order to make linking an easier task (I'm guessing you are based on move messages). I've moved these back to your sandbox, where they should stay until they are formatted and released with the appropriate naming conventions to the appropriate place. If you're concerned about links, I suggest that you restructure the work around a core article with these articles as subpages and make use of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Link#Subpage_links subpage links]. Subpages can be moved at the same time as their parent page, and subpage links do not require any additional changes after the work is moved. It helps the whole thing feel more cohesive as well. It's the standard format for campaign settings, sourcebooks, and other very large collections of related rules changes / updates on the wiki. - [[User:Tarkisflux|Tarkisflux]] <sup>[[User talk:Tarkisflux|Talk]]</sup> 16:39, 2 January 2018 (MST)<br />

:Thanks for the info. I would have hoped that this is a collaborative wiki, rather than following too many fixed conventions (which are fine, but only after an article has matured). Just a tip. Wikipedia got popular from open editing and letting people curate content ''towards'' perfection, rather than try to dictate what [[Wikipedia:The_perfect_article|the perfect article]] should be beforehand. 15:23, 3 January 2018 (MST)<br />

::Dude. It's not an ordinary wiki. It's a site where people develop their own concepts and gameplay elements. It doesn't convey concrete information by compiling data on a subject, it conveys ideas, which if YOU want to detail, that's your business. It's not anybody's job to finish your ideas. I don't really understand what leads you to believe that it's common to just hijack someone's idea and touch it up (although that does happen, even if rarely), but I'm sure it's a simple misconception. I don't think you're an idiot, nor am I trying to talk down to you, I'm just think you have the wrong idea of what this site is about. We're not asking your ideas to be perfect. Just complete. -[[User:SecondDeath777|SecondDeath777]] 17:33, 30 January 2018<br />

::I believe I got the idea from the wikipedia project, where wiki began. I think I see what you're saying, though. You're really developing author-centric "product", not "brewing" ideas together in a collaborative fashion like wikipedia might brew together a crowd-sourced article starting from nascent ideas. One of the d&d wikis should be about the latter, so that new ideas that need effort from everyone to create become an actual contribution, adding to the game. Cheers, then!

== Notes on AL ==<br />
Hi.<br />
<br />
# Understand your inputs. If you have serial or time sequenced data, you should decompose it into the least-sized, most recognizable inputs that you can. Like, for example, frequency spectra for audio signals. This is more recognizable than phase data in a standard audio feed. Or, if stock market data, buy times and price, rather than price alone. Phased audio data is useful for stereo audio, where something like wave interference then provides the highest amount of data.<br />
# Next, get the MAXimum amount of correlated data (up to 2 causal steps, no more). For data arriving at the same time, these are labeled (with location perhaps or time stamped) chunks in a ordered sequence.<br />
# Assign a label to each node created. For example 440Hz for an audio input. If you use a secondary input (for example a visual wave form for an audio one), you can label it with that.<br />
# repeat in fractal fashion. For the next layer, now several layers of time slower, presumably.<br />
# When any two nodes fire at the same time, create a new node with a label appropriate <br />
# Everything happening at the same time gets chunked, but in most people these become sub-selves. In highly aware people they are sorting all of it cognitively.<br />
<br />
# A second process can go through all labels and look for patterns, where there is an error of some kind. For example a clump-node spelled wrong because of particularities of how the data was gathered can be corrected and clean up a whole tree of nodes bvased on a suboptimal ordering.<br />

== External Links ==<br />
<br />
So, I'm liking the complete lack of spam pages right now. Blocking every link is ''working'', but it's not a good plan going forward. So here are a few of the options we have, and I'd like to discuss them with people because that's what I do I guess:<br />
#Back to the way things were. We leave it locked down for another week or 4, and then open it back up and hope spammers have given up on us. It works for email to go dark for a couple months (at least, it used to), but we're not entirely dark and and not an email, so who knows.<br />
#Keep it locked down, start using the whitelist. Yes, we have a whitelist.... that I and everyone else seems to have completely forgotten about. This is an admin (regular, non-bureaucrat admin as far as I know) editable list of sites that will override the blacklist. So we just add sites to it as needed or requested, and the external linking party continues without spam... probably. I have already added [http://www.giantitp.com GitP] to the list, which also allows through things like [http://www.giantitp.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?15-Homebrew-Design GitP's Homebrew Forum].<br />
#Keep it locked down, don't use the whitelist, use interwikis for external linking instead. Interwiki links work differently than normal external links, and permanently fix the initial text of a link. You can just declare in the interwiki table that when someone puts gitpthread:<thing> in a wiki link, that it gets replace with <nowiki>http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?<thing></nowiki> as an external link. Example: <nowiki>[[gitpthread:193515-Orc-Goblinoid-Resources]]</nowiki> --> [[gitpthread:193515-Orc-Goblinoid-Resources]]. This option would be better locked down than the whitelist and also forces bots to use internal wiki style links (which I've never even seen), but it's also less flexible for users and I'm not even sure if non-bureacrats can edit in new ones (I'm the only person who even tries as far as I know).<br />
<br />
I think that the whitelist is probably the best bet, as it allows the most flexibility in use and for the most people and is backwards compatible with existing external links. Any opinions on the matter? - [[User:Tarkisflux|Tarkisflux]] <sup>[[User talk:Tarkisflux|Talk]]</sup> 01:25, 24 December 2014 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Maybe im missing something but the search function is pretty useless when you want to find particular material. By example I was trying to search for feats that affect critical hits, so I type 'critical hit', I am redirected to the SRD Critical Hit. So I try again just writing 'critical' and I am brought AGAIN to the SRD critical hit. This happen constantly, sometime redirecting me to some 4e useless reference list. Since the feat page is so bloated actually finding feats good for you is a chore and in the case of high-level feat you need to know how to expand the list.<br />
<br />
That [[Move Action|4e index]] (linking it through one of those handy redirect!, when you reply you will see the absurdity), I went ahead and looked what redirected to it, here some golden examples: arcane, divine, lightning, martial, thunder, stance, charm, zone, ranged and more. Seriously, if you use those terms alone in the search you will end up on this index. This make it very hard to find material that directly affect stances, martial maneuver users, divine feats and a load of other things through the search function. It not an SRD page that explain rules or something, no, it a list. <br />
<br />
Again maybe im missing something here, but sometime our search function is borderline unusable. Even when the use of redirect is acceptable it still somewhat annoying, take [[Sneak Attack]] by example. It link to rogue, that useful if you need the rules for sneak attacks or if you need to make a link to sneak attack. However it not all that much harder than writing <nowiki>[[SRD:Rogue#Sneak Attack|Sneak Attack]]</nowiki>. With that said, redirect like that I accept because they do become handy, so is critical hit. But critical still linking to critical hit and arcane redirecting a stupid list is perhaps a bit overzealous on the redirect? </rant>--[[User:Leziad|Leziad]] ([[User talk:Leziad|talk]]) 06:59, 16 March 2015 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:The built in search (as opposed to semantic searching, which is a whole different thing), strongly favors page ''title'' matches over page ''text'' matches. You can override that by scrolling to the bottom of he suggested list and selecting the ''contains'' part, but it's non-obvious most of the time. You can also just not use the whole word and not select a completion suggestion.<br />
<br />
:But the larger problem there is that single word redirect pages are aggressively selected for in searches, and they link to specific things rather than defaulting to the 'contains' search. Just removing these redirect pages or moving them so that they include an edition tag at the beginning would probably help. Things which are not edition specific should probably not redirect to edition specific pages. 'Dex' as an SRD redirect is pretty poor, but '3.5e Dex' would probably be fine.<br />
<br />
:If you wanted to search for pages that had a specific property set to Arcane (or whatever), you'd need to use the semantic search. Or the semantic drilldown that we haven't even looked at since early wikia days.

I'll mention this here since it's pertinent maybe, [[Special:Search]] allows searches that don't go to articles and always just produces results, like that "containing..." selection in the scroll down for the regular search box (I also never noticed that's what that was before, so oh man, thanks for pointing that out, that's awesome). I guess going into the [[Special:SpecialPages|Special pages]] to locate [[Special:Search]] is an extra step or two that's less convenient, but still, it's an option. --[[User:Ganteka Future|Ganteka Future]] ([[User talk:Ganteka Future|talk]]) 17:49, 16 March 2015 (UTC)<br />

== Recent downtime ==<br />
<br />
Thanks to whoever it was that texted me the wiki was down (I changed my phone so I'm not sure whose number that was). It was really badly timed since this is one of the few weeks I'm not WFH and wasn't able to get to it immediately. The reason is a bit embarrassing: there was a badly-behaved bot that was scraping the wiki but not rate limiting itself so it was overloading us with expensive requests. I blackholed their IP to solve the immediate problem, but perhaps more importantly I just switched us from Lighttpd to Nginx. Nginx has a rate-limiter module that can limit these sorts of requests, and I'm turning it on so we shouldn't have this sort of problem again. This should also result in a small performance boost because lighttpd is ancient and hasn't been updated to make use of the new PHP cgi methods like nginx has. [[User:Surgo|Surgo]] ([[User talk:Surgo|talk]]) 05:37, 2 March 2016 (UTC)<br />

:: Radical ideas: what if we change our domain name? And we could move all the homebrew content to the new domain name, but leave the SRD and OGL material on this domain name. It would solve most of the complaints, I think. Then when people say "D&D wiki suckz", we can reply: "Yup, it does. Take a look at our wiki: we actually curate it and have the concept of authorship". --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] ([[User talk:Aarnott|talk]]) 00:21, 19 October 2016 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: To what, something like... dnd-homebrew.com or somesuch?<br />
::: I'm not sure it would make much of a difference, since people are leery about homebrew in general unless we do a massive public campaign, like a weekly AMA, each time by one of our more prolific homebrewers to get ourselves out there and have people understand that we have actual quality control on this wiki. Once we do that, I think we can turn people's perception, and get our name out there at the same time to allow others to speak up and suggest homebrew from us when people ask for something, and also perhaps get more new blood writing content for the wiki. --[[User:Ghostwheel|Ghostwheel]] ([[User talk:Ghostwheel|talk]]) 00:31, 19 October 2016 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::: I was thinking something more clever if possible. Similar to how Memory Alpha is a wiki but the name doesn't outright say "Star Trek". The advantage is that it can be referred to as its own "thing" so people can start forming new opinions instead of carrying preconceptions. Lots of people like the GitP forums and their form of quality control is basically that threads will die with no comments. I really do think that a wiki is an ideal way to distribute homebrew and I think a bit of effort differentiating and maybe a brief walkthrough set of pages on why we think a wiki is a good idea might go a long way. --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] ([[User talk:Aarnott|talk]]) 00:49, 19 October 2016 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::: This may be a radical suggestion, but what if this wiki shifted primary focus from the homebrew section to the encyclopedia section? Dungeons & Dragons could really use a major encyclopedia wiki, like Memory Alpha is for Star Trek. My suggestion is moving the homebrew content to a "Homebrew:" namespace, and moving the "Canon:" namespace content to the main namespace. In this way, the wiki could fill a need while differentiating itself from Dandwiki. It would also help prevent people mistaking homebrew for official content, and avoid name clashes between homebrew and official content. --[[User:Dungeon Master Mimic|Dungeon Master Mimic]] ([[User talk:Dungeon Master Mimic|talk]]) 11:30, 24 April 2017 (MDT)<br />

:::::::I naturally like the idea, having been active a lot in the Canon section, and totally agree that something like Memory Alpha would be great to have for D&D! But as [[User:Leziad|Leziad]] said, that would need a lot of contributors, as there would be lots and lots of work. Most campaign settings have their own wiki, but some are quite small and stagnant or have a different outlook. An overview can be found [[Dungeons and Dragons Wiki:Canon Content Requirements#Other Wikis|here]]. - It may be outdated, but The Great Library of Greyhawk and Planescape Encyclopedia have been down for some time now, so what we could do here might be more rather than less. In any case, the basic framework would already be here as the Canon section. [[User:Daranios|Daranios]] ([[User talk:Daranios|talk]]) 11:35, 25 April 2017 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::I'm leaning against this idea. This is probably THE best site for homebrew I know and it's got some great creators, and most of the current users enjoy the homebrew. Plus encyclopedias of All Things D&D are out there. I'm not sure if I should link or mention any since our sister site is likely competing with them, but is restricted to just the SRD (d20Srd) but they're out there. I think being the go to homebrew site is a much better goal. - [[User:Aeturo|Aeturo]] ([[User talk:Aeturo|talk]]) 12:59, 25 April 2017 (MDT)<br />

<br />
::::::::::: Much of 3.5 isn't fair use to publish yet, which is another reason I lean against it. With the exception of short descriptions of things like we have in our Canon section, [[Canon:Ronin]] for example, much of what's outside the SRD we can't publish at all. - [[User:Aeturo|Aeturo]] ([[User talk:Aeturo|talk]]) 17:03, 25 April 2017 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::::I don't think that's completely accurate. It is true that non-free material must not be directly quoted. But it is possible to paraphrase + summarize source material, as well as recombining information from different sources. Big sites like [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Wookieepedia], the [http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Forgotten Realms Wiki], and, in the end, Wikipedia work on that basis and I have not heard that they got into legal trouble.

<br />
::::::::::::::Well we already do that in our Canon section, and to give more information (class features, racial stat adjustments, and the like) is prohibited outside of the SRD. Sites like dndtools have been shut down multiple times for offences like that. - [[User:Aeturo|Aeturo]] ([[User talk:Aeturo|talk]]) 11:32, 26 April 2017 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::::::::::: I have strongly supported an effort to grow our Canon section. While we don't want rules or anything outside the SRD that is explicitly related to gameplay, a robust canon section will help establish the wiki as a usefull resource for a broader section of the community. Things such as cataloguing all the modules, and books, along with general encyclopedia entries on places, characters and such would be more than welcome. I see lots of that stuff scattered across sites all over the internet from wikipedia to places such as The Acaeum (which I hope never just dies before its invaluable information can be archived). Long story short - anyone who wants to become loremasters and work on building up the canon section has the site's full throated support and enthusiasm. Regarding copyrights the task for the canon section is to catalog the various publications themselves, rather then copy and pasting the contents of those publications. Again, take a look at the incredible publication information on The Acaeum as an example of what I'm talking about. For the encyclopedia section the goal is to describe the various topics is if they are real and you live in the D&D universe, not to cut and paste the rules for using them.

Especially ones that you have a longstanding account on with many, many posts over the years. A simple plain link to https://dnd-wiki.org or linked via [https://dnd-wiki.org | D&D Wiki] can be done easily and have a dramatic effect when performed by dozens of people across their favorite RPG sites.<br />

Heyo - As a non-urgent point, the HTTPS certificate for the website isn't properly configured! The site should send its own cert as well as the intermediate CA that signed it, but the site only sends the former.

:It's an honest mistake. Honestly, you guys REALLY have NO CLUE how to make this site successful. Do you really want to continue having no community but, like 4 main users? Orphaned pages don't stay orphaned, if you'd fucking have a clue about what a wiki DOES. You're trying to look like tough sysadmins who know what you're doing to get instant credibility, but you don't. You need to study how wiki got successful with hardly ANY RULES WHATSOEVER and give up trying to look cool in the beginning -- wait for the community to make you cool.<br />

<br />
It looks like a couple of your articles have been placed in the main namespace in order to make linking an easier task (I'm guessing you are based on move messages). I've moved these back to your sandbox, where they should stay until they are formatted and released with the appropriate naming conventions to the appropriate place. If you're concerned about links, I suggest that you restructure the work around a core article with these articles as subpages and make use of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Link#Subpage_links subpage links]. Subpages can be moved at the same time as their parent page, and subpage links do not require any additional changes after the work is moved. It helps the whole thing feel more cohesive as well. It's the standard format for campaign settings, sourcebooks, and other very large collections of related rules changes / updates on the wiki. - [[User:Tarkisflux|Tarkisflux]] <sup>[[User talk:Tarkisflux|Talk]]</sup> 16:39, 2 January 2018 (MST)<br />

:Thanks for the info. I would have hoped that this is a collaborative wiki, rather than following too many fixed conventions (which are fine, but only after an article has matured). Just a tip. Wikipedia got popular from open editing and letting people curate content ''towards'' perfection, rather than try to dictate what [[Wikipedia:The_perfect_article|the perfect article]] should be beforehand. 15:23, 3 January 2018 (MST)<br />
<br />
::Dude. It's not an ordinary wiki. It's a site where people develop their own concepts and gameplay elements. It doesn't convey concrete information by compiling data on a subject, it conveys ideas, which if YOU want to detail, that's your business. It's not anybody's job to finish your ideas. I don't really understand what leads you to believe that it's common to just hijack someone's idea and touch it up (although that does happen, even if rarely), but I'm sure it's a simple misconception. I don't think you're an idiot, nor am I trying to talk down to you, I'm just think you have the wrong idea of what this site is about. We're not asking your ideas to be perfect. Just complete. -[[User:SecondDeath777|SecondDeath777]] 17:33, 30 January 2018<br />
<br />
::I believe I got the idea from the wikipedia project, where wiki began. I think I see what you're saying, though. You're really developing author-centric "product", not "brewing" ideas together in a collaborative fashion like wikipedia might brew together a crowd-sourced article starting from nascent ideas. One of the d&d wikis should be about the latter, so that new ideas that need effort from everyone to create become an actual contribution, adding to the game. Cheers, then!

:::I mean, if you do want help with something, let someone know, but the key complaint I've seen is in regards to formatting and "proper practice", as it was called in my programming group. Cross the Is, dot the Ts, shit like that. The templates for various pages can be pretty helpful in that regard. -[[User:SecondDeath777|SecondDeath777]] 18:55, 1 February 2018<br />

== Notes on AL ==<br />
Hi.<br />
<br />
# Understand your inputs. If you have serial or time sequenced data, you should decompose it into the least-sized, most recognizable inputs that you can. Like, for example, frequency spectra for audio signals. This is more recognizable than phase data in a standard audio feed. Or, if stock market data, buy times and price, rather than price alone. Phased audio data is useful for stereo audio, where something like wave interference then provides the highest amount of data.<br />
# Next, get the MAXimum amount of correlated data (up to 2 causal steps, no more). For data arriving at the same time, these are labeled (with location perhaps or time stamped) chunks in a ordered sequence.<br />
# Assign a label to each node created. For example 440Hz for an audio input. If you use a secondary input (for example a visual wave form for an audio one), you can label it with that.<br />
# repeat in fractal fashion. For the next layer, now several layers of time slower, presumably.<br />
# When any two nodes fire at the same time, create a new node with a label appropriate <br />
# Everything happening at the same time gets chunked, but in most people these become sub-selves. In highly aware people they are sorting all of it cognitively.<br />
<br />
# A second process can go through all labels and look for patterns, where there is an error of some kind. For example a clump-node spelled wrong because of particularities of how the data was gathered can be corrected and clean up a whole tree of nodes bvased on a suboptimal ordering.<br />
<br />
<br />
#For vision, each light at any pixel fades but turns into "food" which gets sensed in a different fashion, leaving change as the primary element. That means there are two dimensions to visual data: fixed light sources and moving ones (deltas between neurons).<br />

== Need to rename some articles ==<br />
<br />
A number of users -- who I agree with -- have pointed out that some of your articles can be construed as racist due to real-world connotations. Please either rename these pages, or remove them: [[User:Cedric/Åryan]] [[User:Cedric/Mad Arab]] [[User:Cedric/Afriqan]] [[User:Cedric/Ashian]].

:You mean this user? "Fuck you you racist piece of shit, just read you mad arab and race pages. Your articles are complete garbage.--Franken Kesey 09:17, 27 March 2019 (MDT) "? Does he sound sane to you? That would be ONE user, unless you're using the discussion over at Facebook, which you shouldn't unless you in the group. May I remind you that RACE is part of D&D? Is it racist, for example, not to have an African-American race selection? OR are they all white and "fair-skinned"? I've created fey races for gay players, is that racist? Also, Aryan does not in any way refer to your American groups related to white supremacy. Do educate yourself. [[User:Cedric|Cedric]] ([[User talk:Cedric|talk]]) 10:59, 28 March 2019 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::You seem to be under the impression that this is a debate. It is not. Remove or rename those articles, or I will remove them for you. You have 24 hours from my first message. If your races do not, in fact, have any meaning to relate to their real-world equivalents, then changing their names should not bother you. [[User:Surgo|Surgo]] ([[User talk:Surgo|talk]]) 15:21, 28 March 2019 (MDT)<br />

<br />
:Editors: I am Jewish ancestry. Why is this idiot calling me a nazi again?<br />
:Keep in mind you are rationalizing a user that called me a "piece of shit".[[Special:Contributions/64.147.35.234|64.147.35.234]] 15:08, 28 March 2019 (MDT) <br />

::I think it makes more sense to think of D&D races less in the real-world meaning of the word as a synonym for "ethnicity," and more as a synonym for "species" as it is often used in fantasy and sci-fi works. In every sensible RPG system, real-world ethnicities are all categorized under the umbrella of "human" and all have the same statistics. Additionally, in every sensible system there is no statistical difference between a straight character and a gay character, so there's no need to create a fey race "for" gay players (or characters); in fact, the word "fairy" nowadays is actually a really offensive slur when used to refer to a gay person.<br />
::I agree with Surgo and Kesey that the pages should be renamed. Regardless of your views, the fact is that those pages can easily be seen as racist because of the real-world connotations that those words have. Please realize that though you may be very smart, what is obvious to you may not be obvious to everyone and explaining it is usually pointless because of something called the backfire effect (google it). I really think it would be better to just do as the admin says here.

<div>''Unofficial DRAFT: Like a rough gemstone, this waits to be polished. Hell, I had to retrieve it Out of the Abyss itself (also from where it original lived: wiki.hackerspaces.org). The major ideas are "stubbed" out, though, and the game mechanics are based on solid theory from the soul itself, even if untested in gameplay.'' --Cedric the Bard <br />
<br />
Warning: The subject matter in a few of the articles is controversial to some. That is why it is on a wiki: people can edit the articles and add their opinion to the discussion pages, everyone benefits. A lot of it is new material for a possible merger of AD&D and D&D as it was made within the soul itself. --Mark<br />
-----<br />
Hello. I am Xavier Askaban (formerly Xavier Istvalen). <strike>I write this from the future on behalf of the user noted above who emerged [[out of the Abyss]] as a [[NG|Neutral-Good]] grey wizard of the coast.</strike> I come to thee, not from adventuring in D&D, but from the adventures I've taken in the outer lands (what you call the "real world"), where I reached a LVL100 pinnacle -- enough to ''perfect'' several LVL50 campaigns into complete game-playing satisfaction. <br />
<br />
Some of you may know me as Nicholas (or Nicolas as some spell it) Flamel. I have several well-intentioned, re-design suggestions for the wiki which makes me a bit [[chaotic]]-good here. Truth be told, this materal is coming from work over at the wiki.hackerspaces.org where you can find TONS of material if you look for it to make a ''complete'' and play-testable package. ''It is NOT official D&D game material'' AND SHOULD IN NO WAY BE INTERPRETED AS SUCH (although it MIGHT be AD&D material, Muhahaha!), merely homebrew as of yet. It is offered under the Creative Commons license (of this site): Attribution, Share-Alike, non-Commercial, yet for any commercial use of significant material (I'll trust the WotC judgement), please contact me. I can be reached at dreamingforward<at>gmail[dot]com (replace angle-bracketed material with an at sign and square-bracketed material with a period).<br />
<br />
The purpose of these materials is to form a basis for an extra-curricular alternative to athletics in high-schools and college. Regional play can compete for rare items and other scores. Magic, the gathering, cards can be re-made into tradable cards. Teachers can create campaigns, etc. And, just like sport-teams, each team can have a name for their group, "The Inquisitors" or "the Defenders", "Spinning Arms of Chthulhu", etc.<br />
<br />
Now a shard of the high-level octo-cat [[Canon:Aegwareth|Aegwareth]], but semi-resurrected, and telling you "how to do it" from the AD&D master. The outcome of that death led to the discovery of the eight stats to make a the ''ultimate'' version of RPGs, like D&D (at least until we can [create a larger magical world) and is codified below in the new [8] class system, corresponding to the 8 stats. The other two abilities were missed previously, because they came from the gods/goddesses: PER (relating to the eye) and ASM (relating to the reproductive organs). This fixes issues with [[ranger]]s, makes it easier for fey characters who don't care so much on the normal stats, opens up epic classes for women, [[druid]]s, and alchemists (if you really knew how to build one anyway). Grok it and be enlightened.<br />
<br />
Some philosophical differences I have with existing canon of D&D and mechanics motivating a ''merger of AD&D and D&D'' to create '''Ultimate D&D'''.<br />
<br />
*XP is the real measure of wisdom, not the WIS attribute which should be changed to PTY -- the PCs dedication to higher ideals and/or gods (every race but elves).<br />
*Mana is an important companion to HP and gives you better service than spell-slots.<br />
*There are 8 possible attributes that make up an individual: at any given time, only four are dominant at most (quad class), and the remaining four others, subordinate traits. Classes should start from a strong foundation: these 8 stats.<br />
<br />
'''CAREFUL: The material here, despite the headings of "DM' or "Player" Material are not cross-checked and may reveal too much. Players should try not to spoil the fun and collapse their chance to live out the epic adventurer`s life, even if vicariously.'''<br />

<div>''Unofficial DRAFT: Like a rough gemstone, this waits to be polished. Hell, I had to retrieve it Out of the Abyss itself (also from where it original lived: wiki.hackerspaces.org). The major ideas are "stubbed" out, though, and the game mechanics are based on solid theory from the soul itself, even if untested in gameplay.'' --Cedric the Bard <br />
<br />
Warning: The subject matter in a few of the articles is controversial to some. That is why it is on a wiki: people can edit the articles and add their opinion to the discussion pages, everyone benefits. A lot of it is new material for a possible merger of AD&D and D&D as it was made within the soul itself.<br />
-----<br />
Hello. I am Xavier Askaban (formerly Xavier Istvalen). <strike>I write this from the future on behalf of the user noted above who emerged [[out of the Abyss]] as a [[NG|Neutral-Good]] grey wizard of the coast.</strike> I come to thee, not from adventuring in D&D, but from the adventures I've taken in the outer lands (what you call the "real world"), where I reached a LVL100 pinnacle -- enough to ''perfect'' several LVL50 campaigns into complete game-playing satisfaction. <br />
<br />
Some of you may know me as Nicholas (or Nicolas as some spell it) Flamel. I have several well-intentioned, re-design suggestions for the wiki which makes me a bit [[chaotic]]-good here. Truth be told, this materal is coming from work over at the wiki.hackerspaces.org where you can find TONS of material if you look for it to make a ''complete'' and play-testable package. ''It is NOT official D&D game material'' AND SHOULD IN NO WAY BE INTERPRETED AS SUCH (although it MIGHT be AD&D material, Muhahaha!), merely homebrew as of yet. It is offered under the Creative Commons license (of this site): Attribution, Share-Alike, non-Commercial, yet for any commercial use of significant material (I'll trust the WotC judgement), please contact me. I can be reached at dreamingforward<at>gmail[dot]com (replace angle-bracketed material with an at sign and square-bracketed material with a period).<br />
<br />
The purpose of these materials is to form a basis for an extra-curricular alternative to athletics in high-schools and college. Regional play can compete for rare items and other scores. Magic, the gathering, cards can be re-made into tradable cards. Teachers can create campaigns, etc. And, just like sport-teams, each team can have a name for their group, "The Inquisitors" or "the Defenders", "Spinning Arms of Chthulhu", etc.<br />
<br />
Now a shard of the high-level octo-cat [[Canon:Aegwareth|Aegwareth]], but semi-resurrected, and telling you "how to do it" from the AD&D master. The outcome of that death led to the discovery of the eight stats to make a the ''ultimate'' version of RPGs, like D&D (at least until we can [create a larger magical world) and is codified below in the new [8] class system, corresponding to the 8 stats. The other two abilities were missed previously, because they came from the gods/goddesses: PER (relating to the eye) and ASM (relating to the reproductive organs). This fixes issues with [[ranger]]s, makes it easier for fey characters who don't care so much on the normal stats, opens up epic classes for women, [[druid]]s, and alchemists (if you really knew how to build one anyway). Grok it and be enlightened.<br />
<br />
Some philosophical differences I have with existing canon of D&D and mechanics motivating a ''merger of AD&D and D&D'' to create '''Ultimate D&D'''.<br />
<br />
*XP is the real measure of wisdom, not the WIS attribute which should be changed to PTY -- the PCs dedication to higher ideals and/or gods (every race but elves).<br />
*Mana is an important companion to HP and gives you better service than spell-slots.<br />
*There are 8 possible attributes that make up an individual: at any given time, only four are dominant at most (quad class), and the remaining four others, subordinate traits. Classes should start from a strong foundation: these 8 stats.<br />
<br />
'''CAREFUL: The material here, despite the headings of "DM' or "Player" Material are not cross-checked and may reveal too much. Players should try not to spoil the fun and collapse their chance to live out the epic adventurer`s life, even if vicariously.'''<br />

<hr />
<div>==Warning!==<br />
As many of you know, I have a unique writing style. Which is there for good reason, but has a way of confusing some readers, like calling people who are just trying to help the wiki a "piece of shit". You will also find that most of my work has a little BS or madness. I would appreciate development, but will not compromise the style. If you find my article to be too confusing for a moral mind, you might not want to use them. <br />
<br />
Also will mention that many of my articles create new independent rules. The independent rules intentionally do not require other homebrew work, and are meant to be played side by side with canon material. But make sure to read the articles thoroughly before allowing them.<br />
<br />
If you wish to take the time to review or comment on any of my pages, please be sure to remove any sugarcoating. I enjoy criticism far too much. If you have found something truly horrible, making note of it will save many others from having to see the same thing.<br />
<br />
'''Some of the subject matter in a few of the articles is controversial. Everything is in parody, and should not be taken too seriously — life is just a carnival, the lucky ones get front row seats.'''<br />

It looks like a couple of your articles have been placed in the main namespace in order to make linking an easier task (I'm guessing you are based on move messages). I've moved these back to your sandbox, where they should stay until they are formatted and released with the appropriate naming conventions to the appropriate place. If you're concerned about links, I suggest that you restructure the work around a core article with these articles as subpages and make use of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Link#Subpage_links subpage links]. Subpages can be moved at the same time as their parent page, and subpage links do not require any additional changes after the work is moved. It helps the whole thing feel more cohesive as well.

Hi.<br />
<br />
# Understand your inputs. If you have serial or time sequenced data, you should decompose it into the least-sized, most recognizable inputs that you can. Like, for example, frequency spectra for audio signals. This is more recognizable than phase data in a standard audio feed. Or, if stock market data, buy times and price, rather than price alone. Phased audio data is useful for stereo audio, where something like wave interference then provides the highest amount of data.<br />
# Next, get the MAXimum amount of correlated data (up to 2 causal steps, no more). For data arriving at the same time, these are labeled (with location perhaps or time stamped) chunks in a ordered sequence.<br />
# Assign a label to each node created. For example 440Hz for an audio input. If you use a secondary input (for example a visual wave form for an audio one), you can label it with that.<br />
# repeat in fractal fashion. For the next layer, now several layers of time slower, presumably.<br />
# When any two nodes fire at the same time, create a new node with a label appropriate <br />
# Everything happening at the same time gets chunked, but in most people these become sub-selves. In highly aware people they are sorting all of it cognitively.<br />
<br />
# A second process can go through all labels and look for patterns, where there is an error of some kind. For example a clump-node spelled wrong because of particularities of how the data was gathered can be corrected and clean up a whole tree of nodes bvased on a suboptimal ordering.<br />
<br />
<br />
#For vision, each light at any pixel fades but turns into "food" which gets sensed in a different fashion, leaving change as the primary element. That means there are two dimensions to visual data: fixed light sources and moving ones (deltas between neurons).<br />

== Need to rename some articles ==<br />
<br />
A number of users -- who I agree with -- have pointed out that some of your articles can be construed as racist due to real-world connotations. Please either rename these pages, or remove them: [[User:Cedric/Åryan]] [[User:Cedric/Mad Arab]] [[User:Cedric/Afriqan]] [[User:Cedric/Ashian]]. [[User:Surgo|Surgo]] ([[User talk:Surgo|talk]]) 18:18, 27 March 2019 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:You mean this user? "Fuck you you racist piece of shit, just read you mad arab and race pages. Your articles are complete garbage.--Franken Kesey 09:17, 27 March 2019 (MDT) "? Does he sound sane to you? That would be ONE user, unless you're using the discussion over at Facebook, which you shouldn't unless you in the group. May I remind you that RACE is part of D&D? Is it racist, for example, not to have an African-American race selection? OR are they all white and "fair-skinned"? I've created fey races for gay players, is that racist? Also, Aryan does not in any way refer to your American groups related to white supremacy. Do educate yourself. [[User:Cedric|Cedric]] ([[User talk:Cedric|talk]]) 10:59, 28 March 2019 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::You seem to be under the impression that this is a debate. It is not. Remove or rename those articles, or I will remove them for you. You have 24 hours from my first message. If your races do not, in fact, have any meaning to relate to their real-world equivalents, then changing their names should not bother you. [[User:Surgo|Surgo]] ([[User talk:Surgo|talk]]) 15:21, 28 March 2019 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Read the fey article as well. Going to wait for Surgo to tell you what to do with it. I do not need to provide evidence that you are a Nazi, your words are evidence enough.--Franken Kesey 11:18, 28 March 2019 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Editors: I am Jewish ancestry. Why is this idiot calling me a nazi again?<br />
:Keep in mind you are rationalizing a user that called me a "piece of shit".[[Special:Contributions/64.147.35.234|64.147.35.234]] 15:08, 28 March 2019 (MDT) <br />
<br />
::I think it makes more sense to think of D&D races less in the real-world meaning of the word as a synonym for "ethnicity," and more as a synonym for "species" as it is often used in fantasy and sci-fi works. In every sensible RPG system, real-world ethnicities are all categorized under the umbrella of "human" and all have the same statistics. Additionally, in every sensible system there is no statistical difference between a straight character and a gay character, so there's no need to create a fey race "for" gay players (or characters); in fact, the word "fairy" nowadays is actually a really offensive slur when used to refer to a gay person.<br />
::I agree with Surgo and Kesey that the pages should be renamed. Regardless of your views, the fact is that those pages can easily be seen as racist because of the real-world connotations that those words have. Please realize that though you may be very smart, what is obvious to you may not be obvious to everyone and explaining it is usually pointless because of something called the backfire effect (google it). I really think it would be better to just do as the admin says here.

:You mean this user? "Fuck you you racist piece of shit, just read you mad arab and race pages. Your articles are complete garbage.--Franken Kesey 09:17, 27 March 2019 (MDT) "? That would be ONE user, unless you're using the discussion over at Facebook, which you shouldn't unless you in the group. May I remind you that RACE is part of D&D? Is it racist, for example, not to have an African-American race selection? OR are they all white and "fair-skinned"? Also, Aryan does not in any way refer to your American groups related to white supremacy. Do educate yourself.

<div>''Unofficial DRAFT: Like a rough gemstone, this waits to be polished. Hell, I had to retrieve it Out of the Abyss itself (also from where it original lived: wiki.hackerspaces.org). The major ideas are "stubbed" out, though, and the game mechanics are based on solid theory from the soul itself, even if untested in gameplay.'' --Cedric the Bard <br />
<br />
-----<br />
Hello. I am Xavier Askaban (formerly Xavier Istvalen). <strike>I write this from the future on behalf of the user noted above who emerged [[out of the Abyss]] as a [[NG|Neutral-Good]] grey wizard of the coast.</strike> I come to thee, not from adventuring in D&D, but from the adventures I've taken in the outer lands (what you call the "real world"), where I reached a LVL100 pinnacle -- enough to ''perfect'' several LVL50 campaigns into complete game-playing satisfaction. <br />
<br />
Some of you may know me as Nicholas (or Nicolas as some spell it) Flamel. I have several well-intentioned, re-design suggestions for the wiki which makes me a bit [[chaotic]]-good here. Truth be told, this materal is coming from work over at the wiki.hackerspaces.org where you can find TONS of material if you look for it to make a ''complete'' and play-testable package. ''It is NOT official D&D game material'' AND SHOULD IN NO WAY BE INTERPRETED AS SUCH (although it MIGHT be AD&D material, Muhahaha!), merely homebrew as of yet. It is offered under the Creative Commons license (of this site): Attribution, Share-Alike, non-Commercial, yet for any commercial use of significant material (I'll trust the WotC judgement), please contact me. I can be reached at dreamingforward<at>gmail[dot]com (replace angle-bracketed material with an at sign and square-bracketed material with a period).<br />
<br />
The purpose of these materials is to form a basis for an extra-curricular alternative to athletics in high-schools and college. Regional play can compete for rare items and other scores. Magic, the gathering, cards can be re-made into tradable cards. Teachers can create campaigns, etc. And, just like sport-teams, each team can have a name for their group, "The Inquisitors" or "the Defenders", "Spinning Arms of Chthulhu", etc.<br />
<br />
Now a shard of the high-level octo-cat [[Canon:Aegwareth|Aegwareth]], but semi-resurrected, and telling you "how to do it" from the AD&D master. The outcome of that death led to the discovery of the eight stats to make a the ''ultimate'' version of RPGs, like D&D (at least until we can [create a larger magical world) and is codified below in the new [8] class system, corresponding to the 8 stats. The other two abilities were missed previously, because they came from the gods/goddesses: PER (relating to the eye) and ASM (relating to the reproductive organs). This fixes issues with [[ranger]]s, makes it easier for fey characters who don't care so much on the normal stats, opens up epic classes for women, [[druid]]s, and alchemists (if you really knew how to build one anyway). Grok it and be enlightened.<br />
<br />
Some philosophical differences I have with existing canon of D&D and mechanics motivating a ''merger of AD&D and D&D'' to create '''Ultimate D&D'''.<br />
<br />
*XP is the real measure of wisdom, not the WIS attribute which should be changed to PTY -- the PCs dedication to higher ideals and/or gods (every race but elves).<br />
*Mana is an important companion to HP and gives you better service than spell-slots.<br />
*There are 8 possible attributes that make up an individual: at any given time, only four are dominant at most (quad class), and the remaining four others, subordinate traits. Classes should start from a strong foundation: these 8 stats.<br />
<br />
'''CAREFUL: The material here, despite the headings of "DM' or "Player" Material are not cross-checked and may reveal too much. Players should try not to spoil the fun and collapse their chance to live out the epic adventurer`s life, even if vicariously.'''<br />
