Would you mind restoring the page? I rewrote it prior to deletion. It's an actual character from the latest Baldur's Gate game. --Ir&#39;revrykal (talk) 18:04, April 8, 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh. Thank you! --Ir&#39;revrykal (talk) 18:04, April 8, 2016 (UTC)


 * :) Don't worry. It was only deleted for about 20 seconds. You have to delete a page to clear its history, and there was no point keeping the vandal's work even in the history. ~ Lhynard (talk) 18:07, April 8, 2016 (UTC)


 * Gah! And now you edited this page while I was editing it. :) ~ Lhynard (talk) 18:07, April 8, 2016 (UTC)

Languages
Hi Lhynard.

After revising my Gur article and tackling the Utter East, I ended up tackling some languages, but found I've jumped forward on your planned work. I hope my work on Halardrim and Gurri, and later Waelan and Maran suit what you had planned.

Just curious: in your research, have you come across any mortal languages based on Celestial or variants or details of Celestial itself? I have an aasimar player who loves using it. — BadCatMan (talk) 09:28, April 11, 2016 (UTC)


 * Cool; I'm glad to have some help. I might tweak things, but for the most part, you are saving me time, so I cannot complain! Thanks!


 * As far as Celestial, all I've got on that one so far is that the Mulhorandi language uses its alphabet. I feel like I've read about another connection somewhere, which hopefully I wrote down, but if so, it would be an obscure reference within RoF, and I have those notes at home. I'll have to check later.

 * Also, you just motivated me to set up the framework for the Imaskari languages family. ~ Lhynard (talk) 18:35, April 11, 2016 (UTC)


 * Cool, thanks. I'll try to do some others at some point. — BadCatMan (talk) 03:16, April 12, 2016 (UTC)

Meant The NWN Expansions
I realized I meant the Neverwinter Nights expansions (Hordes and Undrentide) are listed as non-canon but my question still stands. Why are those non-canon? They should be canon as the core game.


 * Yes, you are correct. See my reply to your other posts. ~ Lhynard (talk) 21:54, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Another class cat without a plural "s"
I'm not 100% certain, but I believe the plural for Shukenja is Shukenja and not Shukenjas. Could you fix the class category for this as seen on the Hsi Yog page?Artemaz (talk) 19:34, April 21, 2016 (UTC)


 * Are you sure it's not "shuGenja"? That class is already in the list. ~ Lhynard (talk) 19:39, April 21, 2016 (UTC)


 * Both terms seem to be used on this wiki, and they are certainly the same thing. It's probably two different spellings. We need to decide on one for consistency. Policy says to take the spelling of the latest edition. It's "shuGenja" in 3e. Are there 4e or 5e variations? ~ Lhynard (talk) 19:43, April 21, 2016 (UTC)


 * Hmm, all of my books are 2E ... so I'm not sure if "shukenja" is used in the later editions. Should I go ahead and change it to "shugenja" on the Hsi Yog page?Artemaz (talk) 20:37, April 21, 2016 (UTC)


 * I would, yes. ~ Lhynard (talk) 20:41, April 21, 2016 (UTC)

To clarify or maybe confuse matters, "shukenja" (with a k, plural "shukenja") is used in 1e and 2e (Oriental Adventures, Kara-Tur: The Eastern Realms) and "shugenja" (with a g, plural "shugenjas") is used in 3e (Oriental Adventures (3rd edition), Complete Divine). — BadCatMan (talk) 23:55, April 21, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes. I'm curious about 4e and 5e, since we take a "newer sources trump" policy, yes?


 * It's not really that big of a thing; they are essentially pronounced the same way most likely. Gs and ks are both palatial mutes. It's just a voicing thing, for which perhaps High Shou does not really distinguish. :)


 * (The kenku/tengu thing is a far more annoying issue. :) ) ~ Lhynard (talk) 03:16, April 22, 2016 (UTC)

Ok, both, I've fixed up the plurals and categories. If it is a 2e character, use shukenja. It will fall under "Shukenja (2e) of N level", which is under "Shukenja (2e)", which is under "Shugenja". ~ Lhynard (talk) 03:46, April 22, 2016 (UTC)

Edit: Corrected spelling, 04:06, April 22, 2016 (UTC)


 * I agree with that approach: the k-spelling for the 1e/2e class, the g-spelling for the 3e class, with the latest title as the umbrella. But where did the 'u' plural come from? Japanese? Even Wikipedia for the Shugendō faith it's based on uses 'a'.


 * The class never made it to 4th edition, so no worries there, yet. — BadCatMan (talk) 03:53, April 22, 2016 (UTC)


 * It came from a typo on my part! :( I actually made the categories correctly. ~ Lhynard (talk) 04:06, April 22, 2016 (UTC)
