Character Template Bugs and Assistance

Also is there a way to not get the bonus from Int or Dex when wearing heavy armor? I ended up just putting a -2 to AC in the racial section.

I added item level and item page references as well, it seems like they will be needed especially in high level play and more so if we do incorporate the adventurers vault.

Yes, putting

|ArmorIsHeavy=yes

In your defenses template will cause the int/dex mod to be left out of the AC.

As for the powers, there's the PowerOrigin field, which could be used for, say, "Rogue Utility 5" or whatever, and would help with judging. We might want to start requiring that with level ups.

Excellent, once again great job on the templates fellas!

Is there some way to make utility powers a different color though? I think that would really help for quick scanning purposes.

covaithe · Dec 12, 2008

Well, we could, but... I'm not sure we want to. Color seems to be used to indicate power frequency pretty consistently across 4e, and I'm not sure we really want to add another meaning to it. I think it would just confuse matters.

Hmm, yes good point.

How do I add multiple attacks to my math section?

The 1st level character I am transcribing into the wiki has longsword, dagger (melee), dagger (range), and shortbow. When I used the standard attack template, it only lists the last attack of each type (melee or range) rather than both attacks of each type.

Yes, I've noticed that before. Two solutions I can think of: someone plays with the template to make it able to display more than one melee and ranged attack, or put multiples of the table in your character sheet.

Unless anyone else has a better suggestion?

I'm finishing up my character now. But, I've taken it a different direction then I intended when I started, so I need to change my character's name. Is there a simple way to rename the template, or do I need to just copy it all into a new template with the correct name?

Thanks,
T

You could just copy over the Power To-Hit table into the Attacks section. The table will have the wrong title, but everything else should work.

I mentioned this on the judge's list, but I'll repeat it here: in the Defenses section, the obvious "LevelBonus=1" doesn't work, it has to be "Levelbonus=1". (But just changing it would break existing sheets!) Can the keywords be made case-insensitive?)
