It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. We essentially digitally re-master the book.
Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.įor printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book.
However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching.

A fan of classics as well as the latest and greatest, Derek balances sampling the newest entertainment media with revisiting the well of a (thankfully) never-ending backlog. After being immersed in nerd culture for many years, Derek is now happy to write about the media he enjoys instead of just ranting to his friends. He is a fan of science fiction and fantasy, video game and tabletop RPGs, classic Hong Kong action movies, and graphic novels. Derek majored in journalism and worked for a print newspaper before discovering the internet. When he is not writing, playing video games, watching movies or television, or reading novels or comic books, he occasionally takes some time to sleep. He lives with his wife, three dogs, and a likely excessive number of video game consoles. Next: Dungeons & Dragons Traps Player Characters Are Unlikely To Suspectĭerek Garcia is a Game Feature Writer for ScreenRant. Players should prioritize the feats that offer Bonus Action attacks over the feats that offer added damage, as at low levels the additional attacks will, on average, provide better results. The feats, available in Dungeons & Dragons' core books, provide these weapons more attacks, and more damage, than any other weapons available, outside of the use of specific spells like Swift Quiver, or very niche builds like a Path of the Berserker Barbarian. While it may seem an odd aesthetic, there is good reason that high level D&D games contain so many polearm warriors and hand crossbow snipers.
Though there are feats found outside of D&D core books, including Unearthed Arcana articles, that offer similar boons to weapon types other than the hand crossbow and polearms, the combinations provided in the Player’s Handbook are likely accepted in more games and are valid in official RPGA games under Wizards of the Coast’s organized play program. Once they have the required feats for these combos, players would also be wise to raise Dexterity for hand crossbow specialists, and Strength for polearm users, unless they are able to acquire a superior Belt of Giant Strength, instead. For the polearm users, the Barbarian and Paladin classes offer reliable sources of Advantage to help them with their accuracy, as Barbarians gain Reckless Attack, and Paladins can take the Oath of Vengeance, whose Vow of Enmity offers the Paladin advantage on attacks against a specific enemy. Fighters and Rangers are more suited towards the hand crossbow build, as these classes can take the Archery fighting style, offering a +2 to hit with ranged weapons to help offset the -5 they will be regularly taking to their attack rolls. While the combination of an added attack as a Bonus Action, and increased damage at the cost of accuracy, will allow D&D characters using these feat combos to make short work of low Armor Class enemies, players should still take care to ensure they can compensate for the loss of accuracy to take on harder to hit foes.
