HOT DIGGITY DOG! Awesome! | |||
If you find any errors, please let me know. | |||
some but not all of the monsters in the Bestiary are displaying "{{#expr:0" instead of their Maneuver Defense. See Giant Centipede for an example. | |||
not sure if this is working as intended, but many low-level monsters in the bestiary are displaying negative numbers for their Save DC's. see Fire Beetle for an example | |||

i'm going to finish converting the remaining patterns to the 'final' version of the pattern template, then I can start on this process...unless you'd rather tinker on this first. | |||

would this be before, after, or during the role-strippage above? | |||

ergh... In all honesty, I'm not sure we should do this summons machine as a seperate thing. Unfortunately, we tore out all the 'human appliable' text in the conversion process, and it honestly needed fixing anyway, so we should do SOMETHING. We ''could'' build a new million summons machines, which is a fat ton of work for an edge case, and i cannot support that. Instead, we can by fiat declare that no more than two summoning feats can be applied to a single casting, and just use the MMM to generate the monsters. poof! fixed! this 'max two' approach has the side effect of 'capping' max monsters at CR42 (two +3 patterns and Quatorze). thoughts? | |||

::* this also leads into a conversation about putting some limits on Superior Summons... currently, it's infinite, which is bad. | ::* this also leads into a conversation about putting some limits on Superior Summons... currently, it's infinite, which is bad. | ||
see cap suggestion above, which solves all this | |||

i hear you, but that's a BIG buff to the Druid and i'm not sure the class needs it | |||
