Greetings,

You forgot to take into account the collapse of the space time continuum in 2 days ;)

Mar 18, 2009 3:44:50 That would be 03/24/2009... assuming the PHB2 material is included in this update... I certainly HOPE it is.

Mar 18, 2009 3:47:58 It definitely is. I asked around about this a month ago and had it confirmed. This month's update will include PHB2 and February Dragon/Dungeon content.

Not any more. The admins at the site knew that they would eventually discover a solution, and decided that when they did, they would go back in time and place the solution in the safe. Upon devising this plan, they went to the safe, found the solution, and averted the disaster before it happened.

Mar 19, 2009 2:18:07 Don't think it needs much coding to add backgrounds.

Click "Custom Background", and have a popup where you select language, +2 skill, or trained skill, then select the specific language or skill.

Of course, if you use the custom stuff, it should mark your character as houseruled, as backgrounds from PHBII are specifically stated to be DM permission only, making the custom ones illegal for LFR, for instance.

Well, the update is out. Also has some new bugs (arrow keys for scrolling no longer change the information window with Backgrounds).

I found some of the feats hard to find (Melee Weapon, Weapon Expertise), so it might take some getting used to. Thank goodness for the search feature.

Weapon expertise is there, as is melee training.

It took some work but I finally got my march update and PHB2 update at the same time.
