Typo

There's a typo in the Gameplay section: "Die roll" should be "Dice roll"

(This not not actually correct, die is the correct singular word: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/dice-die/#:~:text=What%20is%20the%20meaning%20of%20die/dice)

Modern, more common, usage would suggest that "dice" is (or more accurately can be correct: https://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2016/10/dice.html). Additionally, the main page (and the title of the page it links to) is named "Die Rolls" feels awkwardly pluralised. Multiple rolls of a single "die". When the article is about the presumed many rolls of the many dice players will likely encounter in a game. CiXwOw (talk) 07:18, 19 October 2023 (CEST)Reply[reply]

Die is not used by Larian Studios that I have been able to find. Die is primarily a thing still in American grammar, but not so much elsewhere. IMO, dice would be most appropriate for this wiki based on the references in the game. - Addela's 2 cents

I've changed it to "dice" now. Reasoning is simple:
  1. As a previous editor said, "die" is primarily a thing in American spelling, and the wiki uses British spelling.
  2. The game prefers the term dice to die.
  3. Dice can be both singular and plural, so it's grammatically correct regardless.
I've moved the target page as well, which was even more warranted. Willowisp (talk) 02:58, 25 October 2023 (CEST)Reply[reply]
Now I've updated it. For real this time. Willowisp (talk) 22:04, 25 October 2023 (CEST)Reply[reply]

Companion link image

This is more of a suggestion than a problem, but I'd propose not using Jaheira's picture for the companion link, as she can be somewhat of a surprise the new players. If pressed I'd propose either Wyll, Shadowheart, Gale or Astarion instead.
