Magicrealm.Net Forum Archive
WWW.MAGICREALM.NET FORUMS ARCHIVE This archive contains a complete record of all messages posted on the forums at MagicRealm.net The last message posted here is dated 14 Feb 2004. The archive is organized in the same manner as the forums were: two main sections, and seven subsections. Each discussion topic is linked to a bookmark. The discussion topics are sorted from oldest to newest within each subsection. This is the opposite of how they were sorted in the original forums, but it was easier to build and maintain the archive in this way. Known problems: The polls in the “Software” subsection could not be archived. Many of the URL’s came through as blank lines. The forum software had a flaw: at the start of each discussion topic, it lists the topic name followed by “started by [name]” – but instead of using the name of the person who started the topic, it used the name of the last person to post to that topic.

Monk: A quiet, dedicated man, the monk is master of dealing damage, either with his bare hands or with weapons. advantages: Poverty: The monk begins with zero gold and may never gain gold in any way. He can barter with others using the gold value of items, but he may never acquire gold. -
