D&D 5E MPMB's D&D 5e Character Tools

[Mijal Tav]

Thanks for the great sheet! I run a table with a bunch of newbies, and it's great to give them each a standardized sheet so that when I ask for initiative I can tell them to check at the middle right etc. I also color-code the sheets (and my initiative trackers) to each player's favorite color so that everyone can tell at a glance what belongs to whom.

How difficult is it to add more colors? One of the players has a girlfriend that wants to join the campaign after hearing about our first session (she's played in another game before but had a bad experience), and her "color" is pink (including pink dice). Would it be possible to get the headers and dragons done in pink? I'm willing to throw in a small donation if you'd like to look at it as commission work. Thanks!

I went back a few pages before posting and did not notice you covering this Q, if you have, I'm sorry for the repeat. Are you intending to add the new class and background options in SCAG?

He wast planning on it at first, but I sent all the data to review and hopefully should be seeing some progress on it soon, very busy time of the year though, so it might take a bit.

It is always great to hear positive feedback!

Adding more colours is quite a bit of work. It requires photoshopping every element into the new desired colours and takes a lot of time to get all the elements the same colour-palette. If you have the time and the photoshopping skills, you are welcome to make any colour palette you want, and I'll add it to the sheets. I'll look into adding the pink, but I'm not sure if I have the time to do it.

As Greg already replied, some people are working on transcribing the SCAG for this sheet. I don't own the material and my group is not using it, so I'm not planning on buying it (and it is not as if there are donations that would allow me to buy the book). Thus, I'm not working on SCAG material.

So if I'm understanding correctly these issues only occur on one of the three machines you tested it on. Could you just confirm for me that you are not using any display scaling/text scaling/DPI scaling in Windows? Because if you do scale your display to higher than 100% you are guaranteed to have an issue with the intro text being cut of. This is something that I can't fix.

It is really strange that the Auto/Manual is still misaligned in v9.8.2. I applied the exact same fix as I used for the Weight dialog. Can you confirm for me that these images are generated with v9.8.2?

Confirmed with 9.8.2. My laptop had a DPI scaling of 125%. Setting it to 100% makes things display like they should.

9.8.2 Human Variant? Can not locate to select it

Update, found it on page 2

Great to hear that it is fixed now. Still very strange that the auto/manual dialog was not aligning, but I'm guessing there won't be that many people that use DPI scaling and also use all the dialogs

9.8.2 Human Variant? Can not locate to select it

Yea I changed the human variant selection method to coincide with the variant selection method for other races (dragonborn, minotaur, and shifter) as a way to be ready for the racial variants introduced in SCAG (half-elf and tiefling).

You can still directly select the variant human by simply typing the words "variant" and "human" into the race field (for example type "Variant Human" or "Human, variant").

I wouldn't call it fixed per se. 100% scaling on the laptop is tiny and almost unusable. But the cause of problem has been found, as is the workaround. 125% was the default scaling (and my preference), so I suspect it's more than just a few people that would run into this, but how widespread it is would really depend on what people have for tablet/laptop models.

If it's worth spending time fixing is an entirely different issue. It's pretty minor in the grand scheme of things, since everything *still works*, but some people willl run into this issue and not have the full text of these popups available to them.

At the very least the initial pop up / FAQ should mention that using 100% DPI scaling is required for some of the popups to display correctly.

Currently going over the FAQ. Found this typos/issues/...

*In section 1.4 - In set an image from another source...
** Did you mean "To set an image...?"

*In section 2.7 - Cantrips that require a save instead of an attack role...
** Should be "attack roll..."

* In section 2.9 - There is, however, a project undergoing to translate to Portuguese (BR).
** What does BR mean?

*In section 2.9 - ...because they take up a lot of time and no there is little to no interest in a Dutch version of D&D
** Should be "because they take up a lot of time and there is little to no interest in a Dutch version of D&D"

I'm using a 17" laptop at 100% scaling and I have no problem reading the print on the sheet. The only two places I have trouble reading is the sheet version printed along the right side of the sheet and the asterisked note about the list of actions.
