D&D 5E ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

First of all, fantastic work on your spreadsheet. However, a major problem I have is that much of the print is too small for me too read (I'm old.) Is there a way to alter the page layout?

Thanks for the feedback! The sheets are fixed (due to the size of the cells) and all text has been maximized to fix the cell. Which sheets and areas are you finding difficult to read?

Thanks for the feedback! There is no automated way to add the packs but you can add each individual item of the pack in CSII. I've avoided macros for maximum compatibility with other platforms

I understand, that makes perfect sense - thank you!

This is the best generator out there I'm amazed by how much you have worked into it. Great work! Much like sdt above I also have the old man eyes problem and the print is just way to small when I print out. However, now that I can view it on excel on my smartphone I can zoom in. Though I'm wishing that the character sheets were broken up into more pages. One page for stats, one for skills, one for attacks, one for spells, etc. This would allow you to just flip through the pages instead of picking a section of a page and having to zoom in on it during play. Just my 2 cents. Keep up the great work!!

I'm not the OP, but I always need to take off my glasses to read the spellcasting sheet. I haven't tried, but I should try printing that sheet in landscape.

guys try print in landscape set custom scale to 50% and set bottom margin to .25 sheets will print in 2 pages. try that and see how hard to read then might help you out

Thanks for the feedback. If you use the filter to remove blanks on CSIII you shouldn't have an issue to print landscape with most (if not all) spells fitting on one page

Thanks for the feedback, great to hear you're enjoying using the generator. There'll be a bunch of work once SCAG is released, looks very good with a heap of new content for players. Also great your using it on your smart phone, not the greatest for screen size but it works. Personally I use a Surface Pro 3 and it's awesome. Should also work on an iPad as well (with Excel mobile app installed)

Custom Classes

I really love the generator as it works very well. My only wish would be the option to add custom classes, there are other classes out there not listed in the PHB that some DM's will allow as long as they aren't over powered. If this option could be added in without much difficulty that would be great.

Thanks for responding ForgedAnvil, in answer to your question it was the Backstory section that I was having the most trouble with. However, the other responses gave me the idea to put my characters on a tablet which I hope will solve my problem. And once again, your Character Generator is fantastic and I'm guessing it required major excel skills.

Any Chance you could design an Adventurer's League Log page, which will calculate Gold/Silver/Copper, Experience, and other things? I'm getting tired of wasting paper and then losing the log on physical paper.
