Hi,

I enjoyed your first go so I'll plan on giving this a run when i have a little more time.

But what I'm really hoping for is that satbunny laughs with this post.

Howdy this rocks!

Can you add the stuff from Unearthed Arcana: Light, Dark, Underdark ?

Mainly the Close Quarters Shooting style.


Thank you!

Hi RedOrc,

As a developer of some other software products for D&D I want to firstly thank you for the time and effort that you have put into the product.

I have some questions and comments:
  • Would you consider adding filters to your monster list? I'm often looking for a certain type (human), CR, Encironment, or other factor. Being able to filter the list would be immensely helpful. donjon has a similar feature
  • Would you consider adding non-SRD monsters to the list in name or pseudo-name? I understand the legal limits of showing the whole statblock, but if you just had a name or pseudo name then I can use the above filter to find all the monsters I want.
  • For the Monster list perhaps consider a 2 column approach - it would match the 5e style, help with readability of long words, and reduce the amount of scrolling needed
  • Monster statblock formatting could likely use a styling update to match the Monster Manual format. Words like "Melee Weapon Attack" and "Hit" should be italic. The size and type are too large and bold, the armor description often has an extra set of parenthesis, there are no divider lines between the sections nor borders below words like Actions. Sections like Actions and Legendary actions shouldn't be italic. The spacing after the sections at the top like "Speed" or "Skills" seems to be too large. It should be about 1 space
If you would prefer this feedback in some other medium (a bug board or your feedback thread) then I can direct it there.


Thanks again for your continued hard work and I look forward to this product's continued development.

Great feedback on the monster list. I will definitely address all of these very soon, especially filters and non-SRD.

I like the new character generator.

That said, customized backgrounds are AL legal, but the program flags them as being illegal homebrew.

Looking at the AL Player's Guide, I see this:

"Describe your character and choose a background
from the Player’s Handbook, pages 121 – 141, or if
you’ve selected an additional resource as described
above, you can select a background presented
there."

I take this to mean you can only select a background from the PHB or your +1. I'm more than happy to change it if I'm wrong, though.

Now that I've played around with it I'm really impressed by the functionality here.

One small bug I noticed: I made Revised ranger. I saw that it was marked as Adventurers League illegal, which makes sense because it is from Unearthed Arcana, but when I clicked the reason why it ways illegal, it's tell me Death Domain is not allowed.

I don't know if this is a known issue, just thought it was interesting that it thought my Revised Ranger had the Death Domain.

Just a silly copy/paste error.
