DnD Wiki

Post by Maxus »

So it's been quite a bit since I checked it, and I'm surprised at how it's grown. Just in the PrC section, I noticed classes inspired by Discworld, Naruto, and Order of the Stick.


Here's the link, if anyone wants to pillage through here and seperate glimmers of shiny stuff from the dross.

Whatever floats a group's boat. Ted sounds like he would fit in with a game someone told me about, where a Halfling ate a mushroom with a red cap with white spots and expanded to Medium size, becoming pretty much a human good at sneaking and throwing stuff.


Edit: I wonder how they would react were the Tomes to be posted...

Back in the day, I used to frequent their forums, for more than just the lulz. I saw the creation of Ted. Basically, someone showed a picture of Miailee from CompArc. She looked uglier than ever, with a look of horror on her face. The thread was titled "What could she be looking at?"

Now, clearly she was staring at a tome of some sort. So a few hundred suggestions later...

There was a trend. It'd go like this:

23. Hot bugbear-on-assassin-vine action!
24. ...with a mind-flayer in the background, giving the thumbs-up.

48. A beholder in a bikini
49. ...with a mind-flayer in the background, giving the thumbs-up.

And so on.

So they eventually made this mind flayer a god of horrific images, residing in the land of Google. They named him Ted.

The mods are very open-minded. They accepted my d20 classless experiment readily, and that crap was Way Out There Man, so Tome would be mild in comparison (no offense).

As soon as I work out what areas they belong in and how and if they should be broken up...

Edit: Oh, yeah, I've got to do this properly.

Frank, K, do I have your permission to post the Tomes on the DnD wiki?

Damn! I was hoping I'd go in and see my pic of ted staring back at me, I'll have to edit it...

edit: that's better.

I also added this while I was there... I mean, hell, they've got Chuck, but strangely this was missing...

So I've put up the Tome of Necromancy and the Tome of Fiends on the DnD Wiki. I'm working on formatting the Dungeonomicon, and I'm wondering if I should leave the joke PrCs in, put a note saying they're demonstrations/jokes, or take them out. Frank? K? Your opinions are the ones that matter here.

The Ninja of Gax and Elothar are pretty out there. I've always thought of both as more commentary/demonstrations than anything else.

The 'joke' PrCs should just stay, untouched, and with a poker face.

Given some of the other stuff that's on that wiki, any joke PrC should fit in.

The Dungeonomicon is on there now. I'm going to wait until I stop thinking in wiki formatting before I put up Races of War.

Edit: Okay, it's really up. Finally.

Wow, I'm surprised.

I finished putting up the four Tomes on the DnD Wiki some weeks ago, had a debate over the value of scaling feats, and then decided to let it wait to see what happened.

And I check back just now and Races of War is nominated for a featured article.

Maybe there's still hope for D&Dkind. But I'm more willing to bet on "OMG, those classes are so broken I have to play them 1!1"

Well, someone pointed out that Murderous Intent was "way-powerful, because you could play a monk, stun people, and the CDG them" and asked wouldn't it be alright if you kept the normal feats but just gained them every level?

With RoW a CdG is only an auto-crit, not an impossible to pass Fort save or die. So one regular hit+one free crit is not that useful at those levels.

Okay, update:

The Tomes seem to have been well-received. There was some question about the feats, but most of the comments have supportive and approving.

So far:

-Someone's really impressed with the Monk, and the quality of ideas in general, although they're a little iffy on the feats and the idea of hitting level 12 or 15 and getting 4 benefits at once.

-The Tome of Fiends has apparently inspired someone to do a low-level adventure in the Lower Planes. He says thanks for the idea, because he's never even thought about it before.

-Someone likes the idea of the Soul Merchant and is apparently jotting down an NPC class on the idea.

-Races of War is still a Featured Article Nominee. They still haven't changed out that awful article about that dumb goddess. If someone wants to do me a big favor, they can register and say they support Races of War.

I'd say depends it on if the fighter's bag of tactical tricks and maneuverability can keep him away the fact that when the Barbarian hits him, it will HURT. Comes down to feats and equipment, I guess...

Couldn't a fighter just keep foiling a barbarian's attempts to rage, vastly reducing their tactical options and damage? This is where the rapestomping is supposed to come into play.

He only gets one attempt per round if I remember right, and the Barbarian can rage either when he hits or is hit. So the fighter may block the first one, but he won't be able to block the second one when he hits the Barbarian.

Raging is an immediate action, however, limited to once a round. If the Fighter foils it once a round, which will get easier as he goes up in levels, the Barbarian is completely fucked.
