Bone Guardian is basically a stand-alone IRC bot, able to connect to any IRC server without the use of third-party software. The Guardian is meant to be the perfect companion and tool for an online D&D game played via IRC, coming to the aid of both DM and player alike, to make online gaming better and easier. It was created especially for pen-and-paper style gaming on IRC, with the purpose of compensating what IRC lacks and improving what IRC does have. Some of the features included in version 1.0 are:

* Dice Roller, the indispensable tool of any RPG. Classic D&D syntax, any die type, unlimited dice

* Calendar, keeping track of time on Toril and Sigil

* Mimir, featuring fully customizable databases, thus being effectively an encyclopedia on anything from general notes on people, places, monsters or items, to knowledge relevant exclusively to a particular campaign, such as information on NPCs, past events or locations of interest in your game world, all accessible online by players and DM alike during game sessions. As of version 1.0, the construct actually has three mimirs, including an online one, completely editable from the Rotten website.

* Character registration, meaning that you can now claim a character name, and add a description to it which everyone else can see. The character information is stored online, it's not bot dependent.

* Lookat command, the long awaited feature which never found it's way to IRC before.

* Basic IRC channel maintenance, both automated within the bot or done thanks to a complete control of the bot by it's master.

* Update notification, telling the bot's master when a new version is available and where to get it.
