By default, Dungeon Craft will load an image named “Title.png” (the other graphic extensions are also recognized) as the title image. With the Fix Spells option the designer chooses which spells are cast when a player uses the “Fix” command.
  4. The is where the designer establishes the minimum and maximum number of members in the party. Please note, you may only have up to 6 PCs (player created and controlled characters).
