D&D 5E ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

it is the "holy symbol of ravenkind" from the curse of strahd module.
It is basically an item with spells in, that don't need learning or use up spell slots. I have added them as custom spells, and made them all all cantrips as I found a way to add extra cantrips, but that doesn't work as really they need tracking separatly because they refresh every 24 hours, not after a long rest.

For this type of item I would try the Additional Active Features section on the Start sheet with several entries. Something like below...

Name: Holy Symbol of Ravenkind [HSR]
Usage: Charges
Duration: Charges
Recovery: Dawn 1d6+4
Uses: 10 chg

Name: Hold Vampires (30ft, DC15 wis Paralyzed)
Usage: Action
Duration: 1 min ᵀᵁᴿᴺ ʷᶤˢ
Recovery: HSR
Uses: 1 chg

Sounds like a wand or a staff, as they hold spells, you don't learn them and generally recharge once per day. ForgedAnvil has got your back!

looks like i need to update to use the newest version, as my version doesn't have any "additional active features", thanks
 


Thanks so much for this, I really like it. Few items of feedback:
Can we get 'Custom Feat' added to the Custom tab?
Additional Ability Features doesn't seem to do anything. I started a new Character and wrote TEST in line 1, and couldn't find it populated on any character sheet.
Is there a trick to printing from this spreadsheet? I couldn't get any of the pages to print in a workable way (either shrinking things or split into multiple pages).
Can there be an option to remove the Spellcasting section from the Character Summary sheet for classes that don't have it?

1. You can utilize the "Additional Details" box on the start page to add custom feats. You will just need to manually input the data for the different areas.
2. What do you mean you wrote "TEST in line 1"? There is no "line 1". You need to provide additional information.
3. There is no issue with the printing, I just printed CS-I sheet. What sheet are you trying to print?
4. The Character Summary" sheet is designed for all classes, as the name states it is just a summary.
 

Sorry for not being clear. I meant Line 1 of the Additional Ability Features section. That whole line of mine was supposed to be regarding that section.
I did end up using the Additional Details box though, so thanks for the suggestion!
Actually, I just tested and I'm not having some of the same printing issues I was having before. However, I did try printing the Summary sheet and the only thing is that in Portrait Mode the type is just really small. I tried switching to Landscape and it cuts off some of my features (playing a multi-class character, so there are a lot more than usual). This isn't a big deal so this item can be ignored.
I understand the Character Summary is just a summary. I was just hoping we could get that as an option. This isn't a complaint by any means.

It wasn't taken as a complaint.

All sheet to the right of DesignSpace can be unprotected (no password) and edited as you wish. For the details, try unchecking the All Details option on the Start Sheet to minimize the information there. Printing is designed for portrait, use the print preview to check the size and orientation. You need to enter in a basic character information stats, XP, and a class before details appear on the Character Sheet - the Additional Ability Features are functional - which version of Excel are you using?

I always print the sheets in landscape format (my eyesight isn't good enough to read the small text in portrait mode) - I don't seem to be missing any data on my sheets although I haven't multi classed yet.

Just make sure to change the scaling option to fit all columns on one page, and change the page size to what you are actually using (being UK based, this is A4 rather than the default Letter)
