== How to block a user? ==
Hello! [[User:Slayer of Utoya]] needs to be blocked and all his edits undone. I have not done this before, so I am not sure if there is any established way to go about it here, and if there is a way to remove these edits from the page history also. Could you do it perhaps? Thanks a lot! [[User:Daranios|Daranios]] ([[User talk:Daranios|talk]]) 12:22, 8 July 2017 (MDT)
== Creating New Class Ability Component Preload - Constellations ==
Heyo! It's me again. I'm working on a star-themed class at current that uses a class ability called Constellations. Essentially, the class has three abilities - A blast (Like Eldritch Blast), a Ward (An at-will, short-duration, small-effect defense buff) and a Mark (A heal-over-time buff). Each Constellation has a passive effect, alters the Blast, Ward and Mark, and grants a couple spells know of each spell level 0-9. Thus, it works almost like an Eldritch Essence, except it affects most of your class abilities rather than just one.
I'm not entirely sure how to go about creating the preload for this class feature (As I'd like to see it utilized in other works, as well as making it easier for me to add more of them later), so I figured you were the fellow to ask. I'm sure you get tired of us noobs coming to you for tech support, so what I'm asking is less "Make it for me" and more requesting a little insight into how I would go about making these myself (In case one of my future projects requires something along these lines). I saw you help Eiji with his Attunement spells, so here's something to start with, direction-wise.
<pre>
{{3.5e Constellation

I think something along those lines will work, I'm just not sure where to input the information for it to show up, or how to configure the final appearance, such as what order the bits show up in. I want the layout to be something like the Domains, where it tells you about the domain's abilities up top, then the spell list below (So basically the same order I put them in there).
Anyway, I'll be trying to work on the rest of the bits and bobs; Breadcrumbs, "Add New" page and suchlike. Thank you for your time, my friend.
