[QUOTE="Bagpuss, post: 4325611, member: 3987"] It looks like the structure is there, but the data itself is not up to date, and it only from the PHB. From the structure you can tell it that (at least currently)... a) No monster information will be in it, there isn't even a suitable tab. b) No general rule information will be in it, things like a glossary of terms or what second wind is, etc. Again no tab. From the out of date, database you can tell... a) It's from a draft version of the PHB, there are place holders and character builds that were cut from the final PHB. For example: - Search for Warlord then click the Class Tab, and Warlord, scroll down to see the character builds. b) Dragon information has not been added, no new wizard powers (from Class Acts) or the new paragon path (from The Wolves of Maldeen) or the Warforged article information. It needs this information to be as advertised. c) Errata hasn't been taken into account. [B]Conclusions[/B] It will be useful to players more than DM's when the data is up to date. To become useful to DM's it needs a glossary (expanded beyond the one in the MM), rules information and monsters. Even for players it needs the information in the back of the Monster Manual on playing monsters added. I feel sorry for the person or persons that is responsible for checking the database and updating it as there is a lot of work to do. [/QUOTE]
