I was confused at first about why my numbers don't match the example when I was soloing Morgansfort (I did it to learn about the rules better... BTW Darion was killed by striges) :D
Especially odd, since in the intro story, which is in Morgansfort he "raised my shield"

And I have their original character sheets.

What I meant was, I have a tidy graphic for Darion's sheet.

Odd? Hah. I'm just sloppy.

Nobody has mentioned this before, in the more than a decade since both were put into print.

thought the story does explicitly say he's been back to town to update his armour, so that gives an out for the shield there :lol:

So I have a vague memory of this, but I might be remembering wrong. Several of the animals brought in from EE had "1d4 HP" for their hit dice value; the current accepted text is "½ (1d4 hit points)" and I've changed all of them this morning.

One piece of art away from a Print. Release. Candidate!

While waiting for the art from Gabe I noticed room for a small art piece on the Traps page. I offered it to one of the artists specifically but he ultimately couldn't come up with a design he liked, so I offered it in public, and it came in today.

And I posted the Print Release Candidate just now.

I think my name is missing for the Artwork credits for that last art piece. It's no biggie though, and if there's ever a release 113 you can add it, otherwise I don't mind as I'm already credited for other stuff.

Great 4th edition! Wow!

I have one request for 4th edition. Include average treasure values. I have a spreadsheet where I worked those out if needed and could convert to google sheets or another format.

This is very useful to DM's when generating treasure.
