    1. Amazing! Fantastic! I have added them all and I owe you!

  5. Glad to be of any help ;-)

  6. Be aware that the WotC forums are being shut down this Oct. Any links to guides on those forums won't work after that. Most of the guides are being moved to either google doc or Enworld.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Will you be updating the links to ENWorld now that wizards is shutting down their community?

    1. If the author copies the guides over to ENWorld and lets me know, the I definitely will. If I don't hear from the author, I may copy them over onto the blog for safekeeping.

      Delete
    2. ENworld copied all the guides and invited owner to claim them. you can safely point the guides back from there.

      Delete
    3. Good to know. I'll redirect those in the next two weeks.

    4. I'm so glad you did! I thought I'd lost access to most of the guides I used. Thank you for keeping this list up-to-date and awesome.

    5. My pleasure! If I missed any that you find, please let me know!

  8. Do you have an updated location for Treantmonk's Wizard guide? The one linked is still to wizards.

    ReplyDelete
  9. People should figure out that nothing published to anything at wizards.com ever persists, and should stop posting things there. For the past 20 years this has been an ongoing issue: someone posts a handy guide somewhere at wizards.com , then wizards.com breaks the URL. I've never seen any consistent stability or continuity associated with that domain. Best to just completely avoid it.

  10. Just so you know, Treatmonk's guide to the wizard comes in two parts, the second of which you don't have linked here.
    Part 2: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZHzEjiHvtDItZE2ixfoYwqi7brTO-ag8uBJndE5saro/edit

  11. Mellored's Level Dip Guide still points to WotC, recovered here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?471719-Level-Dip-Guide-(mellored)

    Also, looks like everything in Character Building points to WotC, but EN World seems to have recovered most, if not all, of the WotC forum content.

  12. The polearm master fighter guide leads to WotC broken forums

    1. Well, the enworld save didn't go exactly right, but I've updated the link.

    1. Most of the class guides made it over, but many of the "other" guides did not. I've marked them as wizard links. If you can find the saved guide anywhere, let me know!

  14. Hey, I found the link to the land druid guide. Here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?468810-GUIDE-By-your-Powers-Combined-A-Land-Druid-Handbook

  15. All of the wizards links take me to
