FYI, the text added by the sheet for a fighter's action surge is misleading. A fighter gains one additional action in addition to the action and "possible" bonus action they already have. The sheet makes it sound like when they use action surge they gain an additional bonus action as well.

I will add my thanks to those you have already received.

A couple suggestions for 1.61 custom subclasses:
1. A way to bump up initiative. (IE: The swashbucklers allows you to add CHA to initiative)
2. A lot of subclasses grant more than one ability at third level. Just to make things neat and tidy, is it possible to get two level 3 boxes?

Other than that, once again, thanks and keep up the good work!

ForgedAnvil:

Yet more great work from the master.

I have just started playing around with 1.61 Beta and its amazing.

Like Pensivetoast above me though, I do have requests (like I usually do).
1) Either under Armor Class or Armor Proficiency, could you add Unarmored Defense along with an associated dropdown to select the related ability modifier?
2) A dropdown that allows you to select an alternate spell casting ability score (possible down with Spells and bonus spells).
3) This is just an endorsement for Pensivetoast's suggestions.
- In relation to his #1 suggestion: , possibly a drop down to the allow the addition of a secondary ability modifier to Initiative (and maybe a similar dropdown for AC).
- As for his #2 suggestion: , I'd suggest at least doubling the number of ability boxes. As to where to find the space to add these additional boxes, see my last suggestion for this posting.

Seeing as how this is one of the more complex additions to your sheet since you first released it, I suggest that maybe you limit subclasses to just one, then spread the data entry cells and dropdowns horizontally. Maybe a column for things like class, name, dropdowns, etc.; a column for ability boxes; and a column for spellcasting related options.

Once again, great work.

Hey I am loving the Character sheet. Started working with the Beta to get to try some of the new features and noticed the Renown doesn't seem to be a fillable field in the Start Screen, also the faction isn't bleeding over to the character sheet pages.

Great job on the sheet and I can't wait to see the next version.

Feedback for version 1.61 beta

I attempted to create a new race by editing the Race 3 Slot on the Custom tab. I changed the Name to Fey Elf. In the Spells section of Race 3 I cleared Spell 2 and Spell 3. I left a Cantrip selected for Spell 1 field. See image 1. I assume this creates a new race call Fey Elf with a bonus Cantrip for being a Fey Elf, correct?

Image 1

I then created a character, selected the Race Fey Elf, added a few levels of Sorcerer. I then attempted to designate the racial cantrip for my Fey Elf character. But there were no cantrips available to select. See image 2.

Image 2

I assume the custom tab is intended for users to be able to create custom races?

thanks again for all your hard work

I've been playing a bit with the v1.61 beta, and as I thought it won't be useful to make the variant ranger with no spells from the UA article. Thanks anyway for the great job, this sheet is awesome (and it gets even better with each update!).

So I've been trying to use the "Additional Details" from the start sheet to put the Ranger with No Spells features and playing with some formulas and named variables to try to automatize it. And I think I got it! I leave it here if anyone is interested in it and wants to try it. Just copy the code below in the "additional details" section of the start sheet and it should work. I've got the Spanish version of excel, so I had to translate the formulas to put them here (I hope all is well translated). If you try it I would be glad to hear your feedback.

Ranger with No Spells

Code:

="VARIANT: Ranger with No Spells"&IF(RangerLevel>=2;"
• Combat Superiority
 - Superiority Dice - "&IF(RangerLevel<9;"4d8";IF(RangerLevel<17;"5d8";"6d8"))&"
 - "&IF(RangerLevel<5;2;IF(RangerLevel<9;3;IF(RangerLevel<13;4;IF(RangerLevel<17;5;6))))&" Maneuvers - use only one maneuver per attack (DC"&8+ProfBonus+MAX(DEXMod;STRMod)&")
»Maneuver 1
  Maneuver 1 text"&"
»Maneuver 2
  Maneuver 2 text"&IF(RangerLevel>=5;"
»Maneuver 3
  Maneuver 3 text";"")&IF(RangerLevel>=9;"
»Maneuver 4
  Maneuver 4 text";"")&IF(RangerLevel>=13;"
»Maneuver 5
  Maneuver 5 text";"")&IF(RangerLevel>=17;"
»Maneuver 6
  Maneuver 6 text";"");"")&IF(RangerLevel>=3;"
• Poultices
  Spend one hour gathering herbs to prepare "&IF(WISMod>1;WISMod;1)&" healing poultices that last 24 hours. Spend 1 minute 
  applying one poultice to a creature and it regains "&ROUNDUP(RangerLevel/2;0)&"d6 hit points";"")&IF(RangerLevel>=9;"
• Natural Antivenom
  You have advantage on saving throws against poison and have resistance to poison damage.
  Your poultices cure one poison effect in addition to restoring hit points";"")&IF(RangerLevel>=13;"
• Call Natural Allies
  When you are in a "&J110&", "&J111&" or "&J112&" you can call creatures from that terrain to
  fight on your side for 1 hour. They attack any creature hostile to you and are friendly to you and
  your comrades. DM chosses type and number of beasts in one of the following groups:"&"
 - One beasts up to CR 2
 - Two beasts up to CR1
 - Four beasts up to CR 1/2
 - Eight beasts up to CR 1/4";"")&IF(RangerBeastMasterLevel>=15;"
• Beastly Coordination (Replaces Share Spells)
  When an attacker that you can see hits your beast companion with an attack, you can call out a
  warning."&" If your beast companion can hear you, it can use its reaction to halve the attack’s
  damage against it";"")&IF(RangerLevel>=17;"
• Relentless
  When you roll initiative and have no superiority dice remaining, you regain 1 superiority die";"")

It's not optimal, and I think it would be quite long for high level rangers (but I think probably many classes won't fit completely in the CSII at high levels).

The only thing I couldn't automatize is the manuevers. They will have to be typed where it says "Maneuver 1", "Maneuver 1 text", "Maneuver 2", etc.
Regarding that: would it be possible to have the maneuvers as named variables for this purpose? Or at least could you give us a reference of the cell in witch they are typed, so we wouldn't have to type them again?


On an unrelated matter: would it be possible to add a way to introduce new fighting styles to this sheet (as the ones in the UA Underdark Characters article)? As part of the Custom Subclass, or even better in a separate part on the custom sheet. And also I think it would be nice to have some custom feats as well (because they sure will appear some in the future). I know putting the possible bonuses of those in the sheet would be quite complicate, but at least if we could have the text added and the name in the dropdown list would be nice (the rest I think we can work it out with the overrides).

Once again, congratulations for your great sheet and many thanks for your excellent work!!!!
