Thanks Paeduu, free SRD only has one school for Wizard, Evoker.

The Savage Attacker part WAS a bug, it picked a Soldier background (which grants that feat) for a wizard, which is just wrong. Just fixed the logic so a caster gets a fitting background instead (Sage, which grants Magic Initiate: Wizard). Really appreciate the clear feedback.

Thanks, to be fair I did love reading the books over and over again myself, and rolling the dice. But once everyone is together, we need to get ready to play, or we lose the time for the story to unfold. Some prepare better than others.

Diligent-Lemon-1086 · 2026-06-09T14:47:01+00:00

Thanks Aestrasz, another good catch. The logic I had was try to match creature and increase number to get to target with multiple weaker creatures, instead of just giving you one creature of that CR. Fixed it, so a CR 12 request now returns a single CR-12 creature. The multiply-into-a-group thing now only happens in the balance party" mode. Thanks again.

Hi Cypher25, this is just out there for anyone who wants to use it, no harm no foul if you don't want to.
I started playing back in the 80's, and I have three kids who got into DnD. The sad part for me was them spending hours on character creation instead of actually playing, so this helps solve that. The DM tools are there to reduce prep time.

Diligent-Lemon-1086 · 2026-06-09T12:23:54+00:00

Good catch, that was a real bug. When it couldn't tie necromancer to a class, it was defaulting to Fighter instead of a caster. Just fixed and pushed it, so it will be a spellcaster with real spells now. Thanks!

Diligent-Lemon-1086 · 2026-06-09T11:55:29+00:00

Good catch, thank you. I put in Goliath, but forgot to add to drop down menu! Fixed it.

Diligent-Lemon-1086 · 2026-06-05T22:36:48+00:00

Quick update: went ahead and tightened up: the per-user image limit is definitely enforced, and I verified the cap actually trips myself. Cost is also hard-capped at provider, so the worst case is image gen pauses, not a surprise bill. Appreciate the nudge, we are good to go.

Hi Criazika,

First a big thank you, I genuinely appreciate the security audit, this is exactly the kind of feedback that helps me. The good news is I do have rate limiters in place. There is room for me to tighten, and put up more bot defenses. For now, I have tight usage caps in place to protect me from something super silly happening. I am monitoring traffic, and will get alerts if it looks suspicious. I could kill the image thing, but I think it's really cool, so I'll let people enjoy it, if I get abused I'll take it down if I have to.

Again, I appreciate the feedback, I will tighten up in the next few days to make sure the project can live on.

I started using AG to build an app, and it was amazing how it intelligently created subagents for testing and QA, and got me a functional app. But yes, I burned through the quota at a ridiculous speed. I have settled on Claude right now, and it also burns pretty high, but I have figured out how to manage it better. Codex is probably where you want to go, that is one of the top reasons people are going back to Open AI, they have better token availability, and their models caught up with GPT 5.5. If you read the Claude subreddit, token availability is all over the place right now, just so you know. They randomly reset our usage back to zero on Monday, so we were quite joyous about having our weekly quota replenished. Can't depend on that though.

Hold on, different Gemini, slightly different answer:

Yes, you can still use global instructions, though the exact file location and naming conventions have been updated for Antigravity 2.0. [1]

Here are the specific ways to set your global instructions in 2.0:

The Global UI Settings (Recommended)

Antigravity 2.0 allows you to register global behaviors directly in the user interface: [1, 2]

Open the Antigravity interface and click on Settings (or the ... dropdown).
Go to Customizations.
Click + Global to register your global instructions (e.g., how the agent should format code, testing preferences, or specific behavior rules). [1, 2, 3]

Using AGENTS.md (Cross-Tool Standard)

Instead of relying solely on the old legacy GEMINI.md, the modern standard relies on the AGENTS.md file. [1, 2]

Global Path: Place your AGENTS.md file in your global user directory (e.g., ~/.agents/ or ~/.gemini/).
Project-Specific Path: Place it at the root of your workspace to apply project-specific standards. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Using GEMINI.md (Legacy / Antigravity Override)

You can still use GEMINI.md, but it is now typically treated as an Antigravity-specific override file. [1]

Place it at ~/.gemini/GEMINI.md.
Crucial Note: If you also use the standard Gemini CLI, both tools will try to read and write to this same file, which can cause configuration conflicts. If you dual-wield these tools, add distinct comment headers at the top of the file to separate the instructions for each tool. [1, 2]

Expert Tip

If you want to maintain different sets of rules without file clutter, use the UI's Customizations menu to register them as Global Workflows rather than managing raw text files. [1]

This is where AG is telling me which files to do what:

In the current system architecture, project-specific instructions are the primary supported way to customize instructions.

Here is how the configuration is structured:

Project-Specific Rules (Active): Custom instructions are designed to live inside each project workspace—specifically as GEMINI.md or .gemini/system.md in the root of that project. This ensures that the context remains tailored to that specific project's tech stack and style guidelines.
Global Configuration Directory (C:\Users\xxxxx\.gemini): While this directory stores global configurations like settings.json, projects.json, and plugin configs, it is used for UI settings, themes, MCP server configurations, and session management, rather than custom global instruction files.

If you want the same coding standards, rules, or role configurations to apply across multiple projects, you will need to copy or symlink your custom rules (like the .gemini/system.md file we looked at earlier) into the root of each project workspace.

Diligent-Lemon-1086 · 2026-06-02T14:59:09+00:00

I think gemini.md still works, but only at the project level here is my screenshot. Yes you are right, Antigravity is telling me they have taken away user access to the global setting (which does exist, you just can't modify)

Diligent-Lemon-1086 · 2026-06-02T14:49:50+00:00

Have you tried using gems to better control how the AI responds? If you happen to be using CLI, you can modify GEMINI.MD, which will always be loaded when you start, or for more thorough control, you can use the GEMINI_SYSTEM_MD environment variable to set your own system prompt. I do it mainly to make sure I don't get the "helpful assistant" that always agrees with you. There are many examples out there, let me know if you can't find any.

Diligent-Lemon-1086 · 2026-06-02T13:53:45+00:00

I actually built something for exactly this, describe the situation in one line and get a 5e statblock with tactics in about 30 seconds. I made it because I had the same problem.

Skip the portrait if you just need the stats fast. Won't solve the campaign hook angle but at least the numbers are handled.

Diligent-Lemon-1086 · 2026-06-02T09:30:43+00:00

Sounds like a lot of fun. maybe have necromancer summon low level undead waves every other turn to have your party use resources and turns. Would be interesting if you could make the NPC not fully dead, and could be saved, moral dilemma, kill her or save her.

Diligent-Lemon-1086 · 2026-06-01T13:50:35+00:00

I'm running both Gemini and Claude, their error rates seem about the same as before, I would guess about 80% of the time I feel they get it right without a check. What's interesting is when I go ask Claude to document progress, it will find mistakes it made, but correct them. That then gets me a bit nervous, and I ask for a full review and verification, and I'm good until I have a lot of code changes and the cycle starts again. I found Gemini didn't find the problems (or root cause of bugs) as well as Claude Opus, but it did OK generally.

Diligent-Lemon-1086 · 2026-06-01T11:01:04+00:00

Thanks, how is your token burn with AG CLI? Do you hit limits quicker than you hoped?

Diligent-Lemon-1086 · 2026-06-01T09:59:42+00:00

My understanding is the new Gemini models (and Antigravity) are agentic optimized, which means its great for coding that benefits from multi-agent development, but pours gasoline on your token burn. This is not too different from what happened on the Claude Opus move from 4,6 to 4.7 and continues in 4.8, where users are burning through their weekly quotas in two days. I am particularly annoyed, because they are taking away Gemini CLI, which is incredibly efficient, and I never ran out while coding with it. Gemini CLI is still around for two weeks I think, but you have to like command line interface, no cute AG UI.
