It works again for me, too. :) Out of curiosity, did they say what was the problem? Maybe WotC changed the IP address of their boards but some DNS tables weren't updated?

Nope, Fastweb, but it is probably the same kind of problem. :p If you get an answer, please post it.

I'm in the same boat; I haven't been able to open any page on the boards1.wizards.com domain for over a week now. :\

Here. The columns from left to right are the results, their probability as number of combinations and their probability on a 0 to 1 scale (# of combinations divided by total combinations). To get the probability of a range of results, add together their probabilities...

Each House represents two things: a dragonmarked bloodline and a family-based corporation. Having a dragonmark means that you belong to the bloodline, but you aren't necessarily involved with the corporation or even be publicly known to be a member of the family; however, the Houses try hard to...

Not to mention the wounded pride. BTW, the flavor and visual description of the Wall of Force were excellent!

(waves hand) «This isn't the D&D you've always waited for...» (But I have a feeling that it won't work :p ) I've got the pdf too; IH rocks!
