Feats Database??

[Creamsteak]

I totally agree with Morrus on that.

Though I'm not sure whether to capslock feat names or not. They are capslocked in their full out entries in feats, but not in the short descriptions in the feats table. The database however uses one entry to record both sets of data.

Just need to extablish a standard formatting. Looking at Dusk feats, I see various different styles used on various feats - looks kinda messy.

Check out the Prereq column here: http://www.enworld.org/forums/forum...t_source&featsearch=Dusk&order=asc&order2=asc

As you see, some have ability names in caps, others don't, some put the requirement as "13+", some just say "13", some entries are punctuated, others aren't.

Could you put together a few "style" instructions on the entry page, Michael? That would keep the formatting and standards the same.

Ok, I'll go back and fix my own typos. Would probably be better to have the style guidelines on a seperate page - I don't want the entry page to get to be too big or set a precedent for the other databases that will be a pain to follow through (the spell database has a MONSTER input screen by comparison).

Micheal, your Finesse feat is in error.

You have the benefit listed in the prereq.

Also, does the database accept like-named entries? Armor Specialization (dusk) is quite different from the three or four other feats I've seen named Armor Specialization.

Edit: Two core errors: Craft Rod and Craft Wonderous are currently listed as General instead of Item Creation.

Yes. Since each feat is a "thread" as far as the database is concerned the only unique id tag the feat has is it's threadid #. Names can be the same. Users will have to choose which one they like.

The feats database is now completely on, with the same permissions as any other forum. Still hammering out whether or not it stays this way. If anyone has a problem let me know.

The feats in Wizards of the Coast books like Complete Divine or Complete Divine aren't released under the OGL and can't be entered here. If you enter a feat from such a source you'll be warned to stop, and if you persist your account could be banned.

Sorry if this isn't what you're looking for, but I found a redundancy in the third item in the list of things to keep in mind at the top of the Feats Database.

Should be Complete Divine or Complete Arcane.

I get a message telling me the forum doesn't accept new threads...

@ Gez - the submissions feature is turned off momentarily.

Ok guys, I've made some fundemental code changes to this thing - it should be back up in a day or so.
