Most recently a new type of currency, Monster Points (MP), have been added to the game. These points can be obtained by selling monsters, with higher rarity monsters selling for more Monster Points. These points can be spent at the special Monster Point Shop to buy Evolution Materials, Tamadras, Latent Tamadras, and other rare monsters unobtainable from the Rare Egg Machine.

In 1st edition, there was no specific character class for psionics. In 2nd edition, only one psionic character class was introduced, the Psionicist. In 3rd edition this class was renamed "Psion", and various new alternate classes were introduced based on psionics usage. "Psionics Handbook" was later updated for version 3.5 with the "Expanded Psionics Handbook", and new material was added in the "Complete Psionic" book.

Sales of Second Edition's core books were somewhat weaker than First Edition. Combined, the "Player's Handbook" and "Dungeon Master's Guide" sold over 400,000 copies in the first year of release, a solid hit, but their lifetime sales were not close to matching the huge success of First Edition. The reasons why are contested. Michael Witwer, a biographer of Gary Gyax, cited the lack of involvement of Gygax and the changes that attempted to avoid controversy. Ben Riggs writes that TSR insiders worried that the word "Advanced" in the title was scaring off interested newcomers into thinking the product was not for them, and more generally that players of First Edition could simply continue using their old books. Both Witwer and Riggs cite increasing competition from other role-playing games; First Edition was a trailblazer that had carved out an entirely new space, but many more tabletop role-playing games existed by 1989.

A similar distinction was made for priests. 2nd edition introduced priests of a specific mythology who would gain their own specific abilities, restrictions, and sphere of influence selection. The druid was provided as an example; the specification of other specialty priests was left to dungeon masters and setting books. As an example, a specialty priest of Tempus, the god of war in the "Forgotten Realms" campaign setting, can incite a berserker rage in allies and lacks the "only blunt weapons" restriction of normal clerics. The selection of spheres of influence worked similarly to the allowed and forbidden schools of magic.

Surveillance systems are at the core of the CIA’s Directorate of Science and Technology. Without the many advances done through EarthViewer, that was brought forward by the CIA’s own venture capitalist firm In-Q-Tel, Google Earth would be a shell of what it was when it first came out. EarthViewer’s imaging possibilities provided the US Government with intelligent information about Iraqi troops and their overall movements. This 3D imaging system enabled CIA operatives to gain intelligent data on these visuals before going into a new region. The detail provided by these images allowed those in the field to gain incredibly valuable and accurate coordinate information.

As webcomics grew, many "D&D" inspired comics were created with some of them even going as far as publishing physical books. Amongst the more popular ones are Rich Burlew's The Order of the Stick and Tarol Hunts's Goblins. The game has also been seen in several FoxTrot comic strips over the years played by Jason and his best friend Marcus.

DRDO and the Bengaluru-based Centre for Air Borne Systems (CABS) launched a new project to build larger and more capable AWACS. Initially, two AWACS aircraft were to be developed, with four more to follow at a later stage. Clearances for the project were received from the government in January 2013, and in March 2015 a decision was made to purchase two Airbus A330s, which was expanded to six planes in February 2017; the planes will also double as aerial refuelers.

As the game is played, each PC changes over time and generally increases in capability. Characters gain (or sometimes lose) experience, skills and wealth, and may even alter their alignment or gain additional character classes. The key way characters progress is by earning experience points (XP), which happens when they defeat an enemy or accomplish a difficult task. Acquiring enough XP allows a PC to advance a level, which grants the character improved class features, abilities and skills. XP can be lost in some circumstances, such as encounters with creatures that drain life energy, or by use of certain magical powers that come with an XP cost.

3W published the magazine from #112 (June 1987) to #139. It was during this decline that 3W continued its publication of "S&T", and James Dunnigan returned for a brief stint as editor of the magazine (Keith Poulter was the editor from issues #112 to #119, Ty Bomba from #120 to #129, James Dunnigan from #130 to #139). Although circulation began to increase again, subscriptions never recovered fully, and most sales were through game stores and not subscriptions, which meant third party retailers cut into profits. Sales were also no longer guaranteed.

Somebody starts a communication with a request to ensure that someone else creates a desired result. The person responsible for the results, can respond with a promise, and, when work was done (the execution has taken place), can state that the desired result is achieved. If this result is accepted by the person who had asked for the result then this is a fact. The pattern described in the communication between two people is called a DEMO transaction. A chain of transactions is called in DEMO a business process.

Another difference between cultures is the difference in deception between someone from a high-context and low-context culture. Someone from a high-context culture is going to be more "implicit communication and rely more on context", whereas someone from a low-context culture they are going to be more explicit in communication and less on context, thus leading to confrontation" if they do not agree with something being said. This plays out in motivation impairment effect through a study conducted by ... found that people from a high- context culture were more likely to be believe people bought they lie , rather than low-context. High-context also believed and wanted to provide more details to true and false events than low-context. This being, people from high-context cultures are more susceptible to motivation impairment effect.

A rational for this dramatic decrease in HOMO energy is a drastic increase in s character of the phosphorus lone pair in phosphirane due to its most significant ring strain. The CPC bond angle is 47.4°, in sharp contrast with 96.4° in phosphinane. The percentage of s, p and d character of a particular orbital can be quantized with NBO calculation. At the level of theory B3LYP-D3/def2-TZVP, the hybridization of the P lone pair is computed to be sp, sp and sp for phosphetane, phospholane and phosphinane, respectively. In sharp contrast, the hybridization of the P lone pair in phosphirane is computed to be sp. This significant difference in s orbital percentage is likely what gives rise to the much lowered HOMO energy in phosphirane.

A "skill check" is always a d20 roll, with bonuses added. Sometimes, a skill check may be aided by favorable circumstances (such as you brandishing a weapon while using Intimidate) or hampered by unfavorable circumstances (such as using improvised tools to pick a lock). A skill check is successful when the roll is higher than or equal to the difficulty class (DC) of the task. Usually, the Dungeon Master sets the DC. Sometimes the DC is set by the result of something else's check, this is an "opposed check". An example of an opposed check is spot against stealth: the character is trying to see something else that is trying "not" to be seen.

Human C13orf46 isoform X1 protein has one predicted paralog among mucins, specifically mucin-1. Mucins play a role in creating protective mucus barriers on epithelial tissues. The MUC1 gene is located on chromosome 1 at 1q22, contains 11 exons, and has 22 different isoforms. Mucins are highly O-glycosylated and contain tandem repeat domains abundant with proline, serine, and threonine. Surrounding the repeat domains are cysteine rich regions. Mucin genes do not always share a common ancestry, are prone to convergent evolution, and are grouped based on their functionality instead of common evolutionary history.

The first mercury (I) azide was realized by Curtius in 1890 by combining aqueous mercury(I) salts with alkali metal azides or by combining HN with elemental mercury to produce Hg(N), and as evidenced by the electron localization function, the compound is stabilized by ionic bonds between the azido ligands N and Hg and covalent bonding between Hg-Hg. Both mercury (I) and mercury(II) azides can be easily prepared by mixing the respective mercury nitrates with sodium azide in aqueous solution at roomtemperature. The mercury (II) azide Hg(N) exists in two polymorphs α-Hg(N) and β-Hg(N) The β form is very labile and quickly turns into the α polymorphs at room temperature. However, the β polymorph can prepared in analogy to β-Pb(N) by slow diffusion of aqueous NaN into a solution of Hg(NO) separated by a layer of aqueous NaNO, but crystals nearly always explode during formation leading to a mixture of α and β polymorphs.

A major revision of the "AD&D" rules was released in 2000, the first edition published by Wizards of the Coast, which had acquired TSR in 1997. As the "Basic" game had been discontinued some years earlier, and the more straightforward title was more marketable, the word "advanced" was dropped and the new edition was named just "Dungeons & Dragons", but still officially referred to as 3rd edition (or "3E" for short). It also served as the basis of a broader role-playing system designed around 20-sided dice, called the d20 System.

There is also a separate TPWS Temporary Isolation Switch located out of reach of the driver's desk. This is operated by the driver when the train is being worked in degraded conditions such as Temporary Block Working where multiple signals need to be passed at danger with the signalman's authority. Temporarily isolating the TPWS does not affect the AWS. The driver must reinstate the TPWS immediately at the point where normal working is resumed. As a safety feature, if they forget to do this, the TPWS will be reinstated on the next occasion that the driver's desk is shut down and then opened up again.

Cecilia D'Anastasio, for "Kotaku" in 2017, wrote "when viewed as a toolset and not a replacement for "D&D"’s traditions, "D&D" Beyond is exactly the sort of digital facelift the game needs to stay accessible, streamlined and relevant". D'Anastasio highlighted one downside, which was that content from the DMs Guild is not automatically integrated with D&D Beyond. Gavin Sheehan, for "Bleeding Cool" in 2017, highlighted the ability to make homebrew content in D&D Beyond. While Sheehan believed the digital resources were worth the cost, he wrote that "the pricing will be the real dividing point for some people. [...] I can see people screaming that they don't get to own the material like you would a book".

Feats were introduced in 3rd edition of "Dungeons & Dragons". A feat is an advantage, often some special option for the character (such as a special combat maneuver) or some modification to game options and the mechanics involved. Feats can be contrasted with skills, which were also introduced in the same edition, in that using a feat does not usually require the particular success/fail roll that skills do. Instead of possessing a certain rank at a skill, a character either possesses a feat or does not. Many feats require certain prerequisites (such as related feats or minimum ability scores) in order to select that feat.
