Unlike other Dungeons and Dragons wikis, this wiki is centered around aggressive quality control. On this wiki, you can find material that you can use in your campaigns without balance concerns. To that end we attempt to tag each page with an appropriate balance point. Please see [[Dungeons and Dragons Wiki:Balance Points]] for a more complete explanation of our balance points; if no balance point is given, it is considered to follow the [[Same Game Test]].

Anyone can jump in and create their own pages with easy-to-use preloads that automatically format and categorize pages. To maintain our standard of quality, however, we ask that users keep works in progress in user sandboxes and only place completed works in the main navigation areas. To see a list of articles that the author would like input on, feel free to check out our [[:Category:Help_Wanted|Help Wanted]] page. Please see [[Dungeons and Dragons Wiki:Article Requirements]] for further information on these policies, as well as how to create sandbox pages and other such explanations.

The ads on the right will go away if you log in. The "what's hot" on the left vanishes after like 10 page clicks. The three wikia links on the bottom will always be there, but they are unintrusive and interwiki links so I find it difficult to care. There's an ad on the top of the main page, but given how Wikia is offering free hosting and support I think that's an acceptable price to pay.

Gentleman Explorer

Henry m stanley.png

True adventure does not consist of stealing loot from graves, slaughtering wildlife for fun, and elevating yourself above the common folk — it consists of liberating artifacts from tombs, hunting game for sport, and proving yourself superior to the natives! The gentleman explorer understands these fine distinctions and, using his keen wit and large gun, plies the trade of exploration with proper anthropological rigor.

Built according to Grimoire principles, this class focuses on solitary ranged attacks, serving as a more patient counterpoint to mobile, volley-based archers. Out of combat, the gentleman explorer is an adaptive survivalist — he can guide the party through foreign cultures, trap-filled dungeons, and uncharted wilderness with little difficulty.
