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

    And never mind. Probably should delete the post, but I'll leave it up as a remembrance to my own ignorance. Somehow I managed to change the calculation settings to manual. No idea how I did that. Changed it to automatic, and now everything works the right way again.

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

    Spellcasting page not working. Running Mac OS 10.12.6 (Sierra), with Excel for Mac 2011 14.7.1. I don't know when it quit working, but choosing a spell either in the spell lists or in the spell look up doesn't result in a change anywhere else. I last looked up Thaumaturgy, but now when I'm...

    D&D 5E Lighthearted / pre-teen friendly adventures

    Fishing for Gods in Strades Gallows - fantastic! To start, who would ever think to make a list of inspiration that included Roald Dahl with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Margaret Mitchell with Gone with the Wind, and Frank Peretti with The Oath! (Fishfingers and custard anyone?) Then to...

    D&D 5E Lighthearted / pre-teen friendly adventures

    Wow, that's kind of fun. It may be a bit young for what we have, but I may just use it anyway for the new players to learn mechanics. Plus the freebie items right up front are a nice bonus.

    D&D 5E Lighthearted / pre-teen friendly adventures

    I'm looking for some 5e titles that are lighthearted in nature. We're re-starting a group with my son as a player and me as the DM. My son will be 13 at the end of the month. I tried a year or so ago using HotDQ, and it didn't keep their attention - too long (the 40-day caravan was brutal)...

    I think you're getting caught by something with Excel that has annoyed me for a long time. Are you getting a dialog box that says "*file* should be opened as read-only unless you need to save changes to it. Open as read-only?" Your answer to that should be "no". That dialog box isn't asking...

    #1 - buy yourself a good beer. I find out you're buying Stag or Milwaukee's Best, there will be issues! #2 - I don't know if I did this or if you did this, but the first character sheet in 1.40 is printing at a size to fill four pages of US Letter. All the other pages printed normal, just the...

    I saw that some of the other classes were getting 3 cantrips when they should only have two. Same thing is happening with the Bard. I skipped from 1.11 to 1.41 (my paper sheet wasn't broken, and I hadn't leveled, so why fix it). I like the new formatting (and am looking forward to updating...

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

    This isn't a bug but more of a request, and frankly I don't have an idea of how to fix this problem other than to make the print even smaller. With the spells, 20 slots isn't enough to cover the number of spells available to many classes, particularly at 1st and 2nd levels. I had thought...

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

    Sorry, this was a user error problem. I was giving my PC the higher XP to test, but then I wasn't actually choosing the class for each new level so the spells never loaded to the drop down lists.

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

    My biggest complaint? Entering the same character with each new version of the sheet. Arrgggghhhhhh....... But it's excel, no way around it. Worth it, and it gets easier every time. Just so you know, the bard spells for level two and higher aren't in the drop-down lists. This is for...

    Are you planning on adding the EE races (Deep Gnome, Genasi, Goliath) to the sheet? Will it be in time of the start of the new AL season? (no pressure.... :) )

    Noticing a problem with the Ranger's 2nd attack gained at 5th level. I'm entering a 15th level Ranger, and it still displays as 1 attack only. Fantastic sheet - given just how complex of a job this was, I'm surprised there are so few errors. Very well done. FYI - I'm using Excel:mac 2011...
