Min/Max Boards

Good work everyone! Thank you all for your efforts!

It may be unfortunate that folks refer to generic builds to explain a small number of combos or interactions, but it is a common practise, so it's probably worth having listed. Perhaps I could explain the key rules interactions for each one (brevity allowing).

Do you think there's a better way to help someone understand an acronym other than citing the source for the mechanic? I may have missed a few citations, but I've tried to make sure that everything is sourced.

I think all forums have their quirks and in-jokes/ in-terminology. Since there's a fair amount of crossover between all the boards (eg. MinMax and BG host a lot of handbooks that folks on EN World, Paizo, and GitP use), it's probably worth elucidating anything that's likely to come up.

Hey, folks. I've got a list of terminology I've been working on as part of my upcoming Cleric handbook. I figured it was necessary, since Mark Hall's list on GitP is a bit out-of-date, and of course the old WotC list isn't being updated/ easily found anymore. This thread is a repost of the original on GitP; feel free to comment here, itP, or on the doc itself.

If you folks can think of some terms or abbreviations that would be useful to add, particularly any in regards to 3.5, I'd appreciate it.

I think the better question is do we know who runs .pw.

.pw is the country code for Palau.

Think of it like .com meets dialing 9 for international calls.

That's the country whose domain it is, yes, but who was the person running the site, and can they be contacted to provide a copy of the data or to let them know to rehost it, is what I meant.

Edit: Sorry if I was unclear; I meant to use .pw to differentiate between that dndtools and the Alycius dndtools.

They just took down the D&D 3.5 miniatures gallery yesterday.  Does anyone have these?

I'm not sure what the miniatures gallery is, but Rubik on GitP has made a google drive with zips of all of the WotC web content. I personally have converted every monster image I could find on their site into a mini, but that's not online anywhere.

Thank you for this wonderful resource! I hope you don't mind if I heavily utilize it for research for my cleric handbook?

I found an error: WSAs Extrapolated, in the Constricting Whip entry, says Shining South is 3.0. None of the other ShS entries in that document say 3.0.

Edit: "Studded Leather, Impact" is mischaracterized in Armor v1.02. The armor is penetrated by piercing if it's DR 1/piercing, and thus "The wearer gains some amount of damage reduction against piercing attacks" is untrue.

Not everything has been archived to the wayback machine. Without a person manually (or with a script?) adding the link to each individual page of each thread, things aren't backed up.

There's appx 24 hours left to mirror content.

There are only 2 days left to mirror threads.

There is one monster finder, but it doesn't allow for very complex searching (and on my machine/browser, I can't sort the results). This one has many, but not all creatures.

The other one only has 1000 creatures, but with much better search capability and respect to the OGL.
