Hey Sorcica mate!



Easy tiger! You know theres nothing but love for you here, you have helped out as much as anyone this time around. If it meant that much to you I would email you the prototype v5 - you know that...

No worries mate, just a bit of theatrical overreacting there

...though you may as well wait until tomorrow, then you'll get it errata free.

So far feedback has shown about half a dozen minor mistakes.

I will wait more or less patiently for the 'revised' v.5

Hi ciaran mate!

Hey U_K... you know that you were missing mind flayer in v4? Just checking...

Its the Flayer in the Immortals Handbook you should be worried about.

 

[Upper_Krust]

Hiya mate!

Oh, I didn't need it for your CRs. I needed it for mine.

As long as you needed it for something I am happy its there.

Hiya mate!

Yes I will email you about them shortly. Thanks for the feedback.

Regarding the Dragons. I decided against incorporating the skills into the HD factor because they are not a certainty.

Of course I decided all this after spending two days working on them (I actually have a list of all Dragons using the +0.8/Dragon HD rule) before realising they weren't non-standard.

Just don't mention the Scottish play.

I will wait more or less patiently for the 'revised' v.5

So far the feedback has shown very few changes need to be made; however I haven't received all the feedback as of yet.

I took a closer look, and nothing came to my attention like the first few things I e-mailed you about. If something does, I'll post or e-mail, but don't delay on my account!

I may have noticed one more thing (but most likely not). Under the optional duration modifiers for at will spell-like abilities, I noticed that there is no modifier for instantaneous spells. Was that intentional?

Other than this (which is likely nothing at all), I haven't found anything else.

Okay, thanks again!

Yes. They don't have a duration therefore they don't have a modifier.

Other than this (which is likely nothing at all), I haven't found anything else.

Okay, thanks.

So far I have noted and implemented the changes based on feedback from four people, I am working on the changes mentioned by the fifth (our old friend Anubis as it happens), I am still waiting on feedback from one of the other volunteers.

Something Anubis pointed out was a possible flaw in the Treasure system, and he actually emailed me a working solution which I am testing at the moment. However I am not sure if there is a flaw.

Essentially if we want to determine the Treasure from a group of mixed CRs we can simply work out the treasure for each monster individually and add it up. I should have perhaps made that clearer in the text though.

Anyone see a problem with this method?
