From A KoL Wiki

I don't like the layout of this page. Don't we have a spot for this information in the area where the monster is encountered? I think the page named after a monster should have a spoilertastic paste in of an adventure there.... Any thoughts? --jin 12:24, 10 Jun 2005 (Central Daylight Time)

  • I think the adventure text is good... With changes. The stat gain should be changed to the range of possibilities, as such information is gathered. The damage done by the adventurer should be removed, along with any other adventurer-specific information (familiar messages, etc.). --Snickles 12:32, 10 Jun 2005 (Central Daylight Time)

Effect

I just encountered this>> hardly Poisoned at All? Couldn't find it elsewhere. also, the text of the effect is "You've been poisoned, but just a little. Mild annoyance courses through your veins." stats - hardly posioned - 28/31, 20/20, 47/32. unpoisoned - 34/31, 23/20, 53/32--Catkiller 07:46, 6 February 2007 (CST)

  • The effect itself has been renamed and its description updated. The remaining sources of poison should probably be verified, in case a new, more powerful "Poisoned" effect has been introduced. --Quietust (t|c) 08:25, 6 February 2007 (CST)

Titular?

"Titular" means, as far as I recall, "the thing mentioned in the title." Harry Potter is therefore the "titular hero" of the Harry Potter series, and so forth. In The Adventure of the Dying Detective, the box that causes Sherlock Holmes to be dying is not mentioned in the title, and therefore cannot be the "titular" anything. I guess someone thought it meant "the important thing that caused the plot" or something. But I'm not fixing this directly because I might be wrong about the meaning of the word. --Kilyle 07:30, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
