Thanks for the answer, FA. Not what I wanted to hear, but que sera. If it is too much work to implement, then so be it!

I saw your response regarding the password thing, and I agree with you not wanting to give it out due to coding and people screwing things up and so forth. Have you thought about turning this into a standard VB application with an Access or other named DB application behind it?

At the moment, this is hobby - no value in doing this other than for fun. If it was a business then it's a different discussion. Certainly possible as an application, but would require work from scratch. If I were to do it properly, it'd be a universal Win 10 app developed in Visual Studio and ported to all platforms... requires a bucket full of cash and about 8-12 month development cycle

I know I'm beating a dead horse at this point, but I wish there was a chance to make a custom class...I making a homebrew class and it would be nice to have it be part of this character builder...

I hear you it would be great... beat away!

Yeah, development isn't easy. I'm a programmer and data analyst IRL, so I fully understand if you weren't going to do that. Just thought I'd ask in the event you had even started.

Thanks for your work. It´s really great.

I´m using this form just now playing Adventures league and it´s very useful. Keep going.

I'm using this sheet on a mac with Libre Office. First off it's terrific, thanks!
However, I have one issue (and I realize my environment might be the problem): the ability saves aren't calculating correctly. there is a reference on the tables sheet to "anx4" (around $Tables.CG3 in the newest version) that is causing a #NAME error. If I remove it (as a band-aid) everything seems OK. At first I thought it might be a cell reference but the sheet only goes out to AMJ.

So, is part of the sheet getting chopped off or is it a named reference that is not carrying over in Libre Office?

Thanks!

Did you try it with Office 2013 for Mac? I've never used Libra Office so I can only assume it is a limitation of the platform. The saving throw formula is very simple and hasn't change since the beginning really, so there should not be an issue.

Looking at it in more detail, yes the sheet looks like its getting cut at AMJ, there are quite a few columns used after this - is this a limitation of Libre Office?

Our whole group absolutely loves this character sheet. Thank you so much for making it!

One observation with the latest version (1.57) - I think DC for Monk abilities (Stunning Blow, etc...) are being miscalculated. I have a level 8 monk with a 16 Wisdom. I believe his DC for Monk abilities should be 17 (10 + .5 Monk Level + Wisdom Bonus). The sheet is calculating it as 14. Maybe the Wisdom bonus is being left out...

Thanks for the feedback, good to hear your group is enjoying gaming with it

All Monk Ki stuff DC is 8+Proficiency bonus + Wisdom modifier I believe - there was an issue with earlier versions of the tool not correctly calculating the DC of Ki abilities

Each update is greatly improving the character sheet. Keep it up.

Just noticed that the Skin slot on CSI does not shrink text to fit what is written. Other than that everything is great!!!!

Thanks for the feedback, fixed behavior in v1.58
