Great tools youve built, have a couple beers on me! I've noticed that when building a high level multiclasser in this case SB 12 Hunter 5 Shadow Monk 3, i run out of space for for ability descriptions, maybe add an extra page for abilities in these cases?

Thanks for the beers, always appreciated. One option to try is to uncheck the All Details option on the Start sheet (top right). Also you may want to hide Feats details on Start sheet and place this detail elsewhere (variable is =CharacterFeatDetail). Say you want to move it to CSV, unprotect the sheet, type in a cell (e.g. CW7) =CharacterFeatDetail. Select the cell and drag down to highlight enough cell to fit the feats info and click the Merge & Center button 2 times (unmerged and merge), click justify left and protect the sheet. That's it

I have probably just become stupid, but I can find no way to get v2.00 BETA 4 on this site, only BETA 3. Is there some magic to perform to get to BETA 4? Did the crash corrupt something?

BETA 4 for is still in the oven. I working on quite a large table for a consolidated creature list for familiar, companions, wild shape etc. with the ability to override and adjust any value. It's nearing the end for this part of the tool and once that is done I'll release BETA 4 with every bug fix and correction since BETA 3. If all goes well I should have it completed in a few weeks (travelling OS for work next week so wont have a lot of time to build the tool).

Keep watching this space!

A first look at the modifications for Wild Shape / Companion / Familiar etc. (stat block below for Familiar / Animal Companion)

Besides removing some details or making your own page as FA suggested, I find that the default font size is problematic at some screen sizes. At 100% everything fits nicely, but some of the lower screen sizes (and I suspect some of the larger sizes, too) the lines wrap poorly. When the users can not change this on the Start page, we can change the font size on CS4. I find that a point size of 12 eliminates the wrapping issues while still being readable, and allows more of the desired details in the space given.

Zooming and text scaling in Excel 2016 is not great, in fact it does a very poor job of it actually. At 100% this is what should see if the sheet is printed. Excel Mobile does a much better job at text scaling, they should implement the zooming and scaling in Excel Mobile into Excel 2016 - maybe one day they'll merge and u get the best of both worlds.

Ah, thanks so much. I had thought that there was a release just as the boards were going down and I had missed it. The critter management looks good from here

Was rebuilding a hand written character sheet (for an Evocation Wizard) in 2.0 Beta 3, and saw that Hellish Rebuke wasn't in the 1st level spell list. Is that fixed for Beta 4?

 

[jonathonhawke]

I don't see that spell on the Wizard list in my PHB...

 

[bmfrosty]

I chose a card not on the wizard list then.

One of the reasons I'm redoing my characters in the spreadsheet! Thanks!

Many Thanks!

Long time plunderer, first time poster....

Thanks for a great bit of kit! The customization options are top-notch.

Along those lines, I have a Dwarf Cleric build and I want to put the name of my battle axe on the sheet in Dwarvish Runes (I have a TrueType font installed). Is there any way to allow that font to display on the first page in the 'name' box for attacks?

Thanks in advance for your time...
