I think I've found a bug with the Iron Body Ki Focus; it seems to be granting double the enhancement bonus. I've built a fighter, multiclassed monk and the +2 Focus is giving me a +4 enhancement bonus, which while very nice, seems patently incorrect.

Brawlers get a +2/tier Enhancement bonus to Unarmed attacks, which includes the Monk Unarmed Strike. That would override the focus's bonus. Excellent choice, by the way, if that's the case. Brawler Fighters own bones.

That is indeed the character and I suspect it will be awesome to play (thanks to Improved Monk Unarmed Strike and Shock Trooper his unarmed attacks are d12s). So I guess the bug is that the enhancement bonuses aren't cancelling each other out. EDIT: No, the bug is that I've come down with a case of illiteracy.

I just got CB and CBLoader set up on a new PC after over a year being away from D&D, but I can't open it without "Error decrypting the rules file" errors from combined.dnd40.main, which doesn't exist, only .encrypted(in the CB dir) and .part(in AppData) versions of the file. The FAQ on the CBLoader wiki is vague and didn't work, assuming I followed in correctly. Anyone know what I'm loving up?

The DMCA request for cbloader's takedown is up. It doesn't really say why the complaint was issued, but rather talks about how the offline CB is no longer available for download online. That sort of implies that cbloader is the legacy CB, and the complaint is that somebody has continued to distribute it... weird.

That's... a weird DMCA. The wording in the first paragraph is also odd. It seems to be a DMCA against distributing the LCB, but the links just link to the mod. I really don't think that's a valid DMCA notice.

This DMCA takedown notice appears to be self-defeating. They claim, as part of the DMCA takedown, that the software is no longer supported, abandonware, as it were. Yeah, I call balogna on this. I can't see how it's enforceable since they are pointing to the CBLoader download links, which have nothing to do with Wizards of the Coast's Character Builder code. Also, why is it a complaint to Google: Android Market? Is that just a blanket description for code housed at Google now? EDIT: Dragon 402 article, Tools of Two Trades has been finalized and there were some changes which will need to propagate into the Loader. http://www.wizards.com/dnd/downloads/dragon/402/402_Tools_of_Two_Trades.pdf Undrhil fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Jan 12, 2012 |

The REAL reason to call "bologna" on this is that they're claiming copyright infringement on this. Considering that the CBLoader itself doesn't redistribute ANY WotC code and/or data, there isn't actually any copyrights being infringed by the files they claim. Anyways, the Hengeyokai article (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/dra/201110hengeyokai) was also updated with this latest batch. Having compared it to the original, here's the list of changes: Elusive racial trait: changed from +1 Reflex to +2 to escape a grab and saves against immobilize, restrain, and slow Nature's Mask changes: Badger: added restriction on burrowing through stone. Cat, Monkey, Raccoon Dog, Rat: Climb speed now equals FULL speed, up from half. Crane, Sparrow: Fly speed now equals 1 + half your speed, instead of 6. Also, looking over the Tools of Two Trades file, it seems MUCH shorter than before, so while I haven't given it an in-depth look yet, I imagine some of the feats were removed. I did notice (since it's the one I actually USE) that War Wizard's Expertise was changed from reducing the damage you deal to your allies when you hit them to a flat -5 to attack rolls. scpredmage fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Jan 12, 2012 |

Alright, spent a little time comparing the new "Tools of Two Trades" article against what's already in the LCB. The following feats were completely removed: Devoted Priest Expertise, Dwarven Rod Expertise, Hex Expertise, and Weapon Ki Technique. Instead of just deleting them, we may wish to move them over to a "house-rule" part file, like some of the Unearthed Arcana stuff. The remaining feats were all changed in some manner: White Lotus Dueling Expertise: replaced the "secondary" bonus to Arcana and Diplomacy with proficiency with orbs/rods/staffs/wands. Eldritch Fullisade Expertise: now requires the Artificer class and the Crossbow Caster feat; the feat bonus to attack rolls with crossbows and wands no longer specify weapon/implement attacks (meaning it now applies to implement attacks made with a crossbow, thus the Crossbow Caster requirement), and the secondary benefit was changed to allow you to draw or stow a wand as free once/round, and reload crossbows as free action. Battle Song Expertise: attack bonus now applies to any weapon you are proficient with and wands or another item designated as a bard implement; secondary remains the same. Devout Protector Expertise: attack bonus now requires one-handed melee weapon, and no longer requires shield; secondary replaced with giving allies a +1 shield bonus to AC while you use a shield. Interestingly, there's no trigger, duration, or even DISTANCE required to get that shield bonus. Mighty Crusader Expertise: now applies to "two-handed melee weapons" instead of "wielding a melee weapon in two hands". War Wizard's Expertise: secondary changes to -5 to attack rolls with arcane powers vs allies, instead of reducing the damage they take. And on the topic of Expertise feats, the latest updates changed the pre-Essentials expertise feats to scale up at the same levels as the post-Essentials feats, as opposed to scaling at 15th/25th levels, like they did before. scpredmage fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Jan 12, 2012 |

Splicer posted:I really don't think that's a valid DMCA notice. After looking at the webpage I would guess it is more than sufficient to keep CBLoader from ever returning to the Google Code pages. I would think Google has no interest in fighting any such claims by any lawyer. Much easier to delete a contested project than investigate. Doesn't even matter if the claims are untrue or confused. Since the original author of CBLoader doesn't even use the software much anymore I am inclined to believe the project is dead. I seriously doubt the pages will return.

If the original dude's not working on it anymore, would it be possible for someone else to step up and take the reins? I'd be up for it, though I haven't the foggiest about coding. I'm okay with emailing Google/uploading code people send me or whatever.

Of course, to my understanding, the counter-claim is a sworn statement, and subject to penalty of perjury. That, and the next step to combat the counter-claim is to get the courts involved. And yes, SOPA is worse, in the same way that a tactical nuclear warhead is worse than a firecracker. One (possibly ANONYMOUS) claim takes down the entire website, and the only way to contest it is to actually go to court.
