    Note: Next week you should see the correct anwers when you submit your answers. The code is almost ready. I just couldn’t quite get rid of a minor bug - minor as in “everything crashes”.

    My favorite thing with one of my software programs at my old job was that they’d say it’s a “known error”. Basically, “we know about it and have no plans to fix it, so just deal, ok?”

    I looked at the picture in the Monster Manual and only saw three toes. I guess it’s debatable. The asian dragons have 3, 4, or 5 - 5 being a symbol of the emperor or something like that. Maybe it’s the same for D&D dragons…

    Ouch. 20%. That’s what I get for not picking up the Monster Manual yet.

    Yep. 20% hurts. The good thing about not picking up the books as they came out is that you’ll get the errata in there when you buy them.

    Your score: 90%

    Impressive! You know almost everything about red dragons. You’re on fire!

    I don’t care what the book says, Red Dragons invented the language of Awesome.

    whitedragons tried to spell it with an O and call it a new langauge but none was fooled.

    Never encountered a red Dragon in combat, that must be the reason ’cause none of my pcs died…
    Anyway, I can do better than this!
