TOPIC: Great New Online Token Database!

The TDb now contains a special section called Text on Token, aka the ToT Box. The intention is to the show the actual description text as printed on the token. If the token has no descriptive text, the ToT Box will not be shown in that token's entry.

What is intended to be in the ToT Box:

• The exact text as printed on the token, including exact case and punctuation

What is not intended to be in the ToT Box:

• Class lists (including "All except ___")
• Titles
• URLs on Transmuted source tokens (e.g., Boots of the Raider )

At this time, searches cannot be restricted to just the ToT Box, but a Title & Description search will also look in the ToT Box.

As always, if you discover something that needs to be changed, please post in this thread.

Great addition, thank you! I hope you have some automation to go back and update these entries?

nope, all done by hand

I hope Jeff sent you one of each token so you could complete this project .

+1 Celestial Keen Long Sword "Text on Token" box is incorrect.

Crit on 10-20 would be nice, wouldn't it?

Just noticed that the "Usable By" is missing Paladin on +1 Celestial Keen Long Sword also.

I suppose we should let paladins swing it around, no matter what the crit range is.
Please enjoy a glass of milk.

This is causing arrows and crossbow bolts to be listed as "All," which doesn't seem right because there are class restrictions on bows, crossbows, and hand crossbows.

Arrows should exclude Cleric, Druid, Monk, and Wizards.

Crossbow bolts should exclude Cleric. (The only crossbows clerics can use are the two versions of the Sahuagin Blunt Lt. Crossbow, but crossbow bolt tokens aren't compatible with blunt crossbows.)

Hand crossbow bolts should exclude Cleric, Druid, and Wizards.

I hear you! It's something I wrestled with during the planning phase of the TDb. However, based on a very literal interpretation of the rules, arrows and bolts are, technically, usable by all classes. Unless a token* has a specified class list printed on the token, anyone can use it. That does not mean (cross)bows are usable by clerics (et al.), because unless the weapon that launches the ammo can also be used by a class X, class X can't use the weapon.

I know, it's kind of loopy.
But barring a different ruling from Jeff, that's what we're sticking with.

*does not apply to woodies

Makes sense.
If Jeff were to make a "stun gun" cleric usable ranged weapon that allowed the use of bolts or bullets then suddenly all this ammunition would apply to clerics.
