Jun 09, 2008 9:45:06 Agreed. The way to do that is to click on the thread name and you will see a seven-digit number at the end.

For example, the url for this thread is [noparse]http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1043498[/noparse]

Thus, the thread number is 1043498.

You can then create a link to the thread as follows:

[noparse][thread=1043498]This is a link to the present thread[/thread][/noparse]

which will look like this:
[thread=1043498]This is a link to the present thread[/thread]

Jun 09, 2008 12:58:03 Aright. Iv gone thru the Char Op forum. OP is now updated.

Iv identified all threads that need to be moved - along with their thread numbers.

Now in progress: manually linking these numbers ...

I assume the "(?)" is because you aren't sure if PA is the correct location? If so, I think the Player Advice is a fine forum for a thread such as that.

Jun 09, 2008 14:09:17 I've reorganized your list in a format I think the VCLs and CS will find easier to implement. Also, I think you misunderstand what Character Development is supposed to be for. It's for building character backgrounds, not discussing what mechanics are appropriate for what characters. Accordingly, I've made some suggestions (under "...Into ????") for where to put the threads you posit should go to Character Development. Let me know what you think.

Jun 09, 2008 20:45:03 Character Development.

Someone says, "I have this concept for a character. What class and powers do I need to take to make this a D&D character?"

Building for flavor, is part of Character Development.

Jun 09, 2008 21:30:02 No Haldrik, that is not what Character Development is intended for, as I understand it. My understanding is CharDev is for developing backstories, not mechanics.
#10
mudbunny
Jun 09, 2008 21:35:12 That's the way that I understand it as well.

CharDev and CharOp are opposite sides of the coin. CharOp deals with the math side of things. CharDev deals with the fluffy side of things.
#11
Haldrik
Jun 09, 2008 21:48:29 Translating ideas into D&D statistics is an important part of Character Development.

For example, if someone asks, "I want a character who is close to nature, what can I do?" Someone can recommend, "You can take the Nature skill, maybe multiclass as a Ranger," and so on.

That said, if you want to put these in the "Hybrid" forum, I dont really have a problem with that, tho they concern a specific characters flavor.

That would go into the What's A Player to Do? (now Player Advice) Forum as it has in the past.
