Sorry for taking so long answering the wildshape question. You made things a lot clearer, thanks!

I only recently started using the printer friendly version of the sheets. I like them even better because they are imho clearer to read. More space for the feat text is great and the advantage/disadvantage for skills is solved better imho. There are some things I think could be improved:
Would it be possible to hide the extra equipment section in favor for more space for notes?
I really liked being able to display the spell slots on the first page. Would it be possible to include that feature in the printer friendly version as well? e.g. as a replacement for the 'actions' section?

Thanks in advance!

Hi SpoCk0nd0pe, no problem with not responding, good to see you are back in action

Your suggestions sound good, I never thought about replacing the action section with Spell Slots, definitely something to look into. For now I have no plans of making more interchangeable sections for the Printer Friendly versions because they really bloat file size and calculation times, so I mostly try to avoid them. I am not sure that the third page needs more space for notes and you are the first one to ever request it. Coincidentally, multiple people have asked for more equipment space instead. Guess there is no pleasing everyone

I will keep this suggestions in mind and, as always, see if they are worth implementing when I find some time to do so.

In the meantime I did make some adjustments to fix some issues with the new option for Spell Points, as well as generate new Complete Spell Sheets per Class that accommodate Spell Points.

Changelog for MPMB's Character Record Sheet v12.37 (16 October 2016):

Fixed some bugs with using Spell Points instead of Spell Slots.

Changelog for MPMB's Spell Sheets per Class v12.37 (16 October 2016):

Have you considered adding the most recent changelog to the FAQ with a link to all the other changelongs? Something like this:

Changelog:
MPMB's Character Record Sheet - Colorful A4/Letter
* Blah
* Blah
(etc.)

For all other changelogs refer to this webpage: URL:blah

I know you have the link in the startup window, but it is not clickable or copy-able. If you put it in the FAQ (Section 2, I think. Or create its own section), then it would be clickable. Also, once you check the startup window so it will no longer popup, there's no way to bring it back without restarting the sheet.

If I add the latest changelog to the FAQ, then I would have to re-generate the FAQ every time I change something in the sheet, and would have to make different FAQ's for the different type of sheets as not all changes are applicable to all the types of the sheet. Note that there are 12 different types of sheets! (A4, Letter, Printer Friendly, Printer Friendly redesign, and all four of those for the character sheet, spell sheets, and adventure logsheet.)

Also, I don't really think that the changelog is a 'Frequently Asked Question', especially since literally nobody has asked for them before

If does make sense to have a link to the changelog, but the changelog is available at every spot that you can download a version of the sheet. So clicking the bookmark 'get the latest version', will always bring you to the changelog.

Then what about those who download it from Dungeon Master's Guild. There's no link to the changelog there. (If there is, I can't find it.)

Astromath: When you 'checkout' at DM's Guild, the Changelog for the PDF('s) you selected is one of the files you can download/DropBox. Just did the latest ones myself.

Every download comes with the (same) "Changelog.pdf". If you already purchased a title of mine on DMs Guild, go to that title's page, and you will see the different files that are part of it. The files are located under the text "You Have Purchased This Product".

For example, I bought my own Printer Friendly Character Sheet, and I see this (I marked the area with a green rectangle):

Astromath · Oct 18, 2016

Ahh. I see (said the blind man). Since it was not in the DMG description, I had assumed it was absent.

morepurplemorebetter · Oct 21, 2016

Changelog for MPMB's Character Record Sheet v12.38 (21 October 2016):

Marginally improved Spell Sheet generation time (by about 1%);
Altered some code to accommodate the new Gunslinger optional subclass (i.e. the Fighter subclass by Matthew Mercer, now available as a ‘Fan-made Addition’);
Improved the code for monks to not create duplicates of ki features after these are manually moved from the third page’s notes section.

I've always found it odd that there is no option in the Armor dropdown to choose "no armor" or something similar. As a Sorcerer I am not proficient in any armor and at low level I don't even have Mage Armor unless I had picked it as one of the starting spells (which I didn't). Or just that having the armor description blank it automatically assumes you have 10+Dex in AC instead of waiting for a second number other than Dex to calculate your Armor Class.
