You have two notes about CSB Creatures going to the same place -- I think the second one should be for DM.

Also note that Black Flames can absorb fireballs up to a max of 1000 HP.

You are right, I fixed the link.
How do you know about the 1000 HP limit?

Hmm, that's an old one from way back, but I can't remembre the source of it now - I think it was an actually dungeon test where someone lobbed fireballs at one and found it didn't go above 1000! Try some of the older RTC threads, I think it was from there...I'll check back later if no one has found it

I can confirm the 1000 HP limit from a quick look at the CSBwin source code.

Here's the actual line, if anyone cares:

Code: Select all

D0W = sw(Smaller(1000, *puw_20 + D1W));

Thanks, I should have checked CSBwin myself!
I have added that information to the site.

Wow, just looked at dmweb.free.fr and the whole style has changed. While it's not very DM, it's actually a lot, lot nicer and easier to read than the DM2 style. I like it! :)

In fact I upgraded the version of drupal that I use on my site, and the theme you see now is the new default theme supplied with drupal 5.x, it is called "Garland". I like it too :)
I still have a few things to fix so that everything looks good with this new theme.
I don't know yet if I will continue to support the previous DM2 theme.
