For the sake of visual appeal

I'll cut straight to the point

We shoul make Verse-specific Power And Abilities pages for both Demon Lords & The Abyss and Archdevils & The Nine Hells

Take for exmple Babau, a majority of that profile's abilities are simply abilities derived from its nature as a Demon

And while something like Dispater has a decent chunk of its powers and abilities section dedicated purely powers derived from being a devil

Not only that makes a giant text block but if for example we'd ever make an upgrade based on any of said being's physiolgy it'd require a lot of editing

So this's why we should instead just make a page just for the abilities you get from being either a demon or a devil

 

[Mr. Bambu]

I'm against verse-specific power pages by default but ig I'll wait to hear from others.

 

[Qawsedf234]

I wouldn't mind making, if we're allowed, a P&A section for Outsider physiology and just breaking it up in different sections depending on what Plane they come from.

Why tho? It allows to make profiles in general less clogged

Sounds good to me

 

[Elizhaa]

I am fine with making Verse-specific Power And Abilities page(s) for Dungeons and Dragons.

 

[Tllmbrg]

So 3 supporting it and 1 against, also how'd we structure the page in theory?

I think a structure like Digimon Physiology or Noble Physiology should work.

 

[Tllmbrg]

Seems good to me, so when can we start doing that page?

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Even though I'm opposed, I can write up a draft for Outsider Physiology and separate it into types. The issue though, with this, is the sheer amount of types- Demon Physiology is wildly different than, say, Angel Physiology, which is different than Slaadi Physiology. Hell, we don't even have solid data on a lot of these guys (Eladrin, for example).

 

[Tllmbrg]

Well Physiolgies that we don't enough info on should probably not included or just all fall under small sub categories

How many types we have overall tho?

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Theoretically the two most developed/documented on this wiki are Demon and Devil physiology respectively. Archdevils and Demon Lords actually have physiology unique among these, so I imagine they'd be subsets of the same classification. Next, we have decent documentation on Slaadi and the Slaadi Lords of Limbo. After that we have some info on angels though I haven't gathered much on them. Most others are simply "Abstract Existence" and whatever other powers they have outside their physiology.

 

[Tllmbrg]

Well I suppose the top of the page should say that all outsiders have Abstract Existence and from there we write Demon Physiolgy with sub types and same with devil

Then Slaadi and from there Angels with anything left being miscellaneous physiolgies

 

[Tllmbrg]

Bump

 

[The_Impress]

Why can't we just list them?

Apparently not every Outsider shares the same powers and abilities and no Outsider has all the powers to be listed in this Physiology page. TIlmberg's suggestion is to split them into types, which, **** no.

This is sacrificing efficiency and quick page viewing for trivial aesthetics for select users. Having a Physiology page isn't an ideal thing, it's suggested against, the entire reason for them is not repeating 40 EXACT abilities across multiple profiles with already cluttered P&A section.

The DnD pages, in my opinion, aren't cluttered in the slightest to warrant an entirely separate page with that much inconvenience, and you know an easy fix for that textblock aesthetic? Splitting P&A into Tabbers.

There, easily solved.

 

[Qawsedf234]

I think that works for profiles with only one monster or key. But for other stuff like Asmodeus I don't know if that's feasible.

 

[The_Impress]

Link the page, actually

 

[Mr. Bambu]

This is the leader of the Devils.

 

[The_Impress]

Qaw, cascading tabbers exist, we use them for Spider-Man's page.

 

[ZacharyGrossman273]

Verse specific powers shouldn't be a thing.

 

[The_Impress]

Zach, that's a separate discussion, make a CRT and let this get resolved, don't derail.

 

[Qawsedf234]

Oh yeah that could work. Didn't know that was possible.

 

[Tllmbrg]

This has some practical uses tho

As they're done now any time we'd want to revise something regarding let's say demon's physiolgy it'll be much easier to do so if their powers were all linked to the page otherwise we'd be looking at some tidiouse edits no one really wants to do

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Something something I ain't gonna be the one to add shit tons of tabbers with shit tons of abilities. If we're forced to one of the two options, at that point I'd rather just make the Physiology page. Or have someone make it, at least.

 

[Qawsedf234]

If do go with the phyiology page I can help with writing stuff.

 

[Tllmbrg]

I'm willing to do it, I just need all the info dumped on me

 

[The_Impress]

but Dad what about the general users who aren't editors? selfish smh

 

[Mr. Bambu]

but Dad what about the general users who aren't editors? selfish smh </div>

if they want something nice they should work for it and argue for it here, I prefer less work for the same result in regards to myself
