Insufficient spell slots lvl 5 + for druid using EE.

Thanks for the feedback, and you're right. Something I'll look into in future versions, this means a complete redesign of a single page spell sheet as there is no additional room to add (or subtract) spells from the current design. Might take awhile before release...

The list can be found by going to the ribbon under Formulas> Name Manager. List is pretty huge and hopefully self explanatory (enough). The example character uses some formula throughout the tool as an example. To display formula go to Formulas > Show Formulas in the ribbon

Thanks Forged. As always the answers are usually right in front of me.

Heya! This is a seriously awesome tool for character creation!

I'd like to note an issue that I am having with it, which probably comes from my lack of experience with Macros. I am using the character creator with Libre Office, and it works for the most part. However, I am forced to save my characters as .fods, and after opening the creator a few times the images for the character sheets and the image for the anvil does not appear, and red text appears in its place. Is this an issue with saving to the .fods file format, using libre office, or is there a quick fix that I cannot figure out?

Thanks for the feedback. I've never used Libre Office so I'm unable to help you out. The platforms supported are Excel 2010-2016 (100%), Excel for iOS, Android, Windows 10 (90% - cannot run macros, replace images and a few other minor features).

OpenOffice and Libra Office are not supported, however some users have mentioned it works okay with some limiting issues. Perhaps someone from the forum using these platforms can assist.

Have you tried using the main ODS format from LibreOffice? I have tried to load the sheet using LibreOffice Version: 4.4.3.2. It does load and kind of works but with visual issues like you noted. I see the Elemental Evil skin comes up by default even when it isn't saved that way in the file. I haven't investigated it thoroughly but decided it wasn't going to work well. Since I have Excel 2013 I didn't need to push the issue.

Excellent character generator.

I have a question about backgrounds. Is there a way to choose the variants of a specific background (pirate instead of sailor)? I was able to use the custom tab to add them, but I wondered if I was just missing a selection box somewhere.

Thanks again for the work.

I used the conversion tool to import my 1.43 character to 1.47, and now on the Character 1 page I have #N/A all over the page for like the Character Name Title, the Class Title, etc.

Thanks for the feedback. Hmmm, just a thought check the language on the Start sheet and select (or type) EN, the transfer tool may have overwritten it with a blank value. will fix for the next version

UPDATE: Released version 1.48, it should resolve this issue if you use the latest character generator files
