Thanks, I was trying to figure out exactly how to do that.This is another cosmetic thing. There's no reason we couldn't have valuables in equipment, but they were separated on the official character sheet so I went that way to begin with. Also, if you can think of a synonym for <valuable> that includes money, gems and art objects but not magic items or mundane equipment, I'd be happy to use it! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />This is exactly why I wanted to make this schema!Yes, I think this might actually be the better way to go. I think we should take extra care to note that this only applies for situations where you have a choice of feat, power, skill or language, though. For example, IMO the Dragonborn's racial power shouldn't go in the <powers> section, as it's mandatory. That means the <choice>s should stay in the <race> section.I had a slightly different idea on this, actually... How about if we put all the Wizard's spellbook spells in his <powers> section, and only put his prepared spells in the <current> section? I think that fits the philosophy of the <current>/rest-of-the-file split.I'll have a new .zip up with these changes soon. In the meantime, these are all the things we still need to decide on:<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/1.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":1:" title="One    :1:" data-shortname=":1:" /> <class> section vs. separate <class>, <paragonPath>, <epicDestiny>. This is cosmetic (ideally a user will never have to look at the XML file), but we need to decide which we're going to go with.<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/2.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":2:" title="Two    :2:" data-shortname=":2:" /> separate <equipment>, <wealth> vs. combined <equipment>. This is also cosmetic. We can also include a new name for <valuable> in this, if anyone has any ideas. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/3.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":3:" title="Three    :3:" data-shortname=":3:" /> Racial choices of feat, skill, language or power going in their relevant sections. I'm ready to go ahead with this as the standard, but I'm still open to arguments against it.<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/4.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":4:" title="Four    :4:" data-shortname=":4:" /> Spellbook stuff. Same again; I'm currently happy with my plan, but I'm open. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
