Default Re: Yet another reference document.

Edi,

You are correct. I did make use of your weapons/armor DB and I did leave your name off of the credits. For that I sincerely apologize. I had created the other tabs several months ago and made the credits list at that time. It is only within the Last couple of weeks that I added the weapons/armor tabs, and I forgot to update the credits with your name. Let me assure you that it was in no way intentional nor malicious.

And let me clarify to everyone that I am by no means claiming authorship of the material in the document. That is why I listed my name as "compiled by". I claim credit for the spell descriptions, various info columns on the spells tab, hyperlinks between tabs and cells, and the pretender availability by nation tab. The other information was taken from several other documents, all of which I'm sure most of the people in this community are familiar with. Granted, I made some very minor tweaks to some of the format (not all, mind you), but I definitely want to give the authors their due. My intent was simply to consolidate the info into a single place and make it as easy for *me* to reference and read possible.

I have updated and replaced the attachment to v1.5 which includes Edi in the credits.

Edi, once again, I apologize for the oversight. If you prefer me to remove the armor and weapon tabs, I will do so. I admit the error, but insist that it was unintentional.

That's okay, I know it happens sometimes. I've made the same unintentional mistake myself once long ago, and caught heat for it. The reason I pruposely took such a harsh tone here is that I wanted to shock you a bit, it will make you remember it for a very long time and will prevent you from repeating the mistake in the future. I know it did that for me when I unintentionally offended someone I greatly respect and got a very tersely worded admonishment for it. Just thinking about it still makes me cringe, and it has been years...

No hard feelings toward you on my part, and I hope there aren't any on yours either. Feel free to use any and all of my material in the compilation, as long as myname stays in the credits. [img]/threads/images/graemlins/Smile.gif[/img]

Fanaticism is marked as a combat summoning spell.

Great work here by the way!

Check -- Spells:Class:Find Magic Sites

Your gems costs are all wrong, except for Acashic Record.

Dark Knowledge should be 3 gems
Voice of Tiamat should be 8 gems
All others should be 2 gems/slaves

Thanks for the info. =)

Yeah, I'm sure there is a good deal of info that needs to be updated. That's my project for the next week or two as time allows. I constructed the spell tab prior to 2.15 and even then much of the info was gathered from the manual, soooooooooo.

big update pass coming up shortly.

I've revised the version number of the .xls to 1.6 and posted the file containing Cherry's fixes (in RAR archive form) to my site as the latest incarnation of The Tome. BTW, the old 1.5 version was actually labelled "1.4" inside the .xls file. I've fixed that prior to uploading it to my site.
