Okay, love the pictures, they are epic, and lovely. I simply think they may be a tad to large...

For example, my computer screen isn't near as big as these monsters. Now then, a person could argue that they'd be fine, and that the page doesn't need to look good on every screen, but my computer screen resolution is about average size (1280 x 800). Perhaps they could be better placed, say, at the end of a subarticle of the sourcebook, since they look awesome, but, would stretch out the text of the book otherwise, making it irritating to read/look at. Though, these could be resized and kept where they are. Of course, that'd make mine superfluos, and would prolly make mine need to be removed. Also, while the second pic is an excellent image of a fantasy warscene, I would recommend the first one be used, since it both exemplifies the aim of the Tomes to make awesome characters awesome, and of this book to focus on war. &rarr; [[User:Rithaniel|<span style=color:Gray; -moz-border-radius-topleft:50px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:50px">Rith</span>]]<sup> [[User talk:Rithaniel|<span style=color:#A30506; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:50px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:50px">(talk)</span>]]</sup> 03:51, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

:My bad. On my computer they are sized just big enough to fill all the blank space to the right of the index. Feel free to adjust as is more universally appropriate. -- [[User:Jota II|Jota]] 04:03, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

The subcategories for Character Option have been created, but I can't think of any additional properties to add to these to make them searchable. Anyone have any thoughts on how they'd like to be able to search any of this material? - [[User:Tarkisflux|TarkisFlux]] 16:05, September 25, 2009 (UTC)
::kk, fixed that, thing I managed to get a better size for all screen resolutions that still catches a good bit of the detail. Also took of my mock book cover pic since it does really seem superflous now, what with the epic pics that sit on this page. Put some space between them as well, to make the page not feel cluttered (fung-shua). &rarr; [[User:Rithaniel|<span style=color:Gray; -moz-border-radius-topleft:50px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:50px">Rith</span>]]<sup> [[User talk:Rithaniel|<span style=color:#A30506; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:50px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:50px">(talk)</span>]]</sup> 04:39, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

:Property:Type (which should have zero restrictions on it) is a string and useful for searching feats. Property:Prerequisite as well, which also should have no restrictions, is also a string and useful for searching. Hopefully the string search on general strings isn't dumb.

In the Armor section, many of the light armor bonuses are unlisted or unfinished.

I'd like to do something more than the basic bullet list we had here before, preferably something that can be standardized and ported to all of the other nav pages. Thoughts appreciated. - [[User:Tarkisflux|TarkisFlux]] 21:55, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

UA Bloodlines[]

Would this be the correct section for UA-style Bloodlines? While technically Racial, they seem to function more like a scaling Trait. --Be well 23:06, September 23, 2009 (UTC)

Looks like a good place as any, just be sure to create a new category for it ;-) --Ghostwheel 23:10, September 23, 2009 (UTC)

Trying to determine which works better, the list with explanation like is up there now, or a table with explanation like the 3.5e homebrew page. Here's an example of the latter:

Alternate Class Features Racial Substitution Levels Bloodlines
Not every ranger casts spells, and not every paladin is LG. Sometimes elven wizards cast differently than the rest of us. Occasionally your lineage matters as much as your career.
Feats Flaws Traits
Not every adventurer brings the same options to the fight. Some adventurers have serious problems. It's the minor things that help set you apart.
Domains
The powers that a god can bestow upon his chosen are many.

I'd like to do something more than the basic bullet list we had here before, preferably something that can be standardized and ported to all of the other nav pages. Thoughts appreciated. - TarkisFlux 21:55, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
