Can anyone help?

I am new to this post, and I was wondering if anyone could help me witha couple of problems with the lovely E-Tools. I've searched for these before I posted to avoid any repetitions, but I couldn't find any help...so here goes.

First, I did a 1st level fighter and when I went to take the Craft (Weaponsmithing) skill, I noticed it had a -2 "misc modifier." Actually, all of the Craft skills had this penalty, except for cobbling! After quelling the urge to retire him and take up shoemaking, I figured I neded to check everything and make sure everything was correct. He has a 14 intelligence, which is a +2 mod, but even if that was negative, it would've shown up in the "ability modifier" section. Is this a bug, or could there be something wrong in the creation process?!?

My second problem problem stems from me being a novice at the computer, but for some reason on the first page of the printed E-Tools character sheet, a portion of it doesn't get printed. From about the middle of the "Speed" box right doesn't get printed, but the 2nd and 3rd page prints out fine! I don't have a "fit to page" option with my printer, so that can't help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

On your print problem go into your internet explorer File menu and click Page Setup. Set the margins to 0 and IE will automatically set them as low as they can go, you might also kill all the letters in the header and footer box to get rid of those annoying headers and footers!

    The problem is not with eTools, which follows the rules as written to the letter. The problem is with your fighter's equipment, or lack thereof. All Craft skills (except for cobbling?) require tools to perform, and you receive a -2 penalty if you do not have the proper tools. Purchase some weaponsmithing tools (Purchase/Gear/Class tools, I believe) and equip (carry) them. The -2 modifier will go away, and if you splurge on MW tools, you'll even get a +2 bonus!

    Do we have an eTools FAQ? This needs to be added to it.

    Hope this helps...

Thanks...I don't think I would've ever figured that out. Like I said, my computing skills are at a minimum.

Thanks again!

Gee, and you'd think I never played before.

Thanks jaults, it does help...very, very much!

And yeah, maybe that would be a good idea to have it in the FAQ, that way no one else has this problem.

Thanks again!

Hmm. That'd mean someone would actually have to start maintaining a FAQ.
