Empty promise. :P

Oh, and a gender feature? How is Dikiyoba supposed to confuse newbs and Italians now?

Ephesos, it's not like you need energy elixirs instead of energy potions. I don't calculate out your spell points and subtract 25 of them every time you cast RETRIBUTION!!!

Heh. Dikiyoba just noticed that the divine retribution spell is the only priest spell in the A4 manual to be in italics.

Everything looks good, except that Dikiyoba would like the scores in the seven point range to be a different color (dark blue, maybe) so they stand out more.

I'll second (or third or whatever number) the need for more money. The HLPM just doesn't give quite enough money for my scavenge-everything-and-buy-lots-of-spells playing style.

Okay, slight bug. My new god party went to the Arena Center to try out their new skills against some dragons and were promptly hit by this error message:

t5Arena Error: Too many nodes used in line 288. Seems like you hit an infinite loop.

This didn't happen when my non-god party checked the Arena Center without a combat.

Other than that, it looks excellent.

As long as you realize that it's not an original story. I forget the title and the author, but I've read it before.

Dikiyoba isn't sure whether you mean the Miocene epoch or the Oligocene epoch, but either way grasses had evolved by the Eocene epoch or possibly before (though they weren't common). [/nitpicking]

Originally by Alorael:

quote:
Human babies are already as little developed as possible when they're born. They're completely helpless because a more developed baby would be even more awful to squeeze out. So yes, I think human eggs would be more or less the size of human babies. They'd either need to contain the full baby or everything necessary to make it.
Would a human baby-sized egg even be possible? The largest known dinosaur egg is only about 30 cm/12 inches long (about twice as large as an ostrich egg). Much larger and the shell would be too thick for the young get enough oxygen or to hatch. Human babies are about 50–60 cm/20–24 inches tall when born. This seems like a problem.

Quick question: why do we seem to be assuming that humans would lay hard-shelled bird-like eggs when echidnas and the platypus lay soft, leathery eggs?

I proofread before I post as well, but I often catch little typos or formatting problems only after I post.

Dikiyoba pays special attention to proofreading the final paragraph. Dintiradan should be kept as miserable as possible.

No, I can see that happening even with an operated time machine, assuming it is completely indestructible and easy to use. Even if a person were to be caught in a catastrophe (because people with time machines often do crazy things like seeing the dinosaurs or Mt. St. Helens erupt) and killed, the time machine would survive until another person found it and used it (probably by accident). And so on and so forth.

Probably not. Dikiyoba knows that Salmon admitted he was joking to at least one person not too long after the "Confessions of a Madman" thread, so it just isn't funny the second time around.

Okay, three things:

1. The best way to end a subject of discussion is to not post in it, especially if it's a several day old topic.

2. It's Nioca, not Nocia. He likes it spelled correctly.

3. Dikiyoba lied; there is no third thing.

Since Dikiyoba usually has two tabs open at once, Dikiyoba waits for the redirect on one tab while browsing another topic in the other tab. Eventually, Dikiyoba checks back to make sure no editing needs to be done.

Did it have any useful information for average citizens like how to survive a zombie attack with just a towel or with only a snickers bar and a roll of toilet paper in the dead of winter, or was it only stuff that would be useful to a cleric or a paranoid redneck with a shotgun?

Dikiyoba is now on The Concise Dinosaur Encyclopedia by David Burnie.
