First off: Thanks warderbrad for helping answering questions. We appreciate it! And a big thanks to everyone posting, reporting bugs and contributing suggestions here. We read every post and consider every option you guys propose!
Biggest thanks goes to Anna, who covers all the Excel programming now!
Some requests for more infos:
>Selection of Skill Training as a Feat triggers the list prompt, but the list is inaccessible, making actual selection of the Skill Training impossible.
No idea what you mean here. Please give more details. Thanks!
>On Character Sheet II within the Class/Path/Destiny Features: Paragon Path Features longer than two lines do not display properly. On Character Sheet II within the Feats: Epic Tier Feats longer than one line do not display properly.
We can't recreate this problem. Please give an example of class, level and Paragon Path. Thanks!
>The First Favorite Powers (RANGED BASIC ATTACK) by default Eldritch Blast, in independence of a class
Huh, sorry? What do you mean here?
>For powers 6-N can't they be entered on the same chart and then just display #6 on using the same format on the 2nd character sheet? That way you can track them all in the same format.
Please explain a bit further. We don't understand what you want here.
Selection of Skill Training as a Feat triggers the list prompt, but the list is inaccessible, making actual selection of the Skill Training impossible.
It seems to work for us. Please details your char build and when the error accurs. Thanks!
Bug: if you enter 0 for the damage (e.g., "Cause Fear" Cleric Encounter 1), critical damage will be #VALUE instead of 0
Simply don't enter anything. That should do it, too.
Some insights:
Would it be possible to have fields for all the things that could add to a particular ability for damage bonuses? For instance, individual fields for the user to type in bonuses from feats, from enhancements, and then a couple of miscellaneous fields
We considered and did a rough layout. It turned out to look more complicated than doing the math for D&D really is. So instead we'll leave it as is to keep it simple.
>I am also wondering if it's intentional that armor and shield are entered twice on the Armor & Equipment tab (under armor & shild and under equipment) as opposed to one looking it up from the other.
In the equipment table you can enter whatever fantasy name you want for your items. In the left table you have to select the proper type so the bonuses calculate correctly.
Open Office / Macros / Saving char in external file
We started to go throguh the current file to make it more compatible for Open Office. It's not our prime focus atm though
.
We have no expierience with macro programming. So unless someone else does you most likely won't see any kind of feature like this from us. Sorry!
I input the data into the powers sheet that happily spat out the numbers for BAB, but the corresponding basic attack stuff had to be entered by hand. Was this the intent?
The Basic Attacks could be different for every class. So we leave it up to the player to enter whatever they want.
I have spent the last day and a half entering all the data from the PHB powers and am in the process of redoing the entire attacks tab
We won't cross this line for copyright reasons. If all the powers would be fully implemented you wouldn't need a PHB anymore. The new 4E gaming license doesn't even allow to create char generating software. We are walking on thin ice here already. You won't offer a file which has all the details of the PHB. Go buy the book and look forward to WotC CharGenerator tool in D&D Insider! Meanwhile use our lil' tool here.
What is your opinion of someone ripping out your calculations and using you layout for a very differently focused sheet?
You're welcome to do it!
any chance the fields or text could be made a bit larger for folks wearing readin glasses?
Hmm, we have a LOT of infos to give. Hardly see a way to make parts bigger. Anything in particular you find hard to read? But we are are fiddling with options to make the fints bigger on page 2 if you have less than X feats for example.
how do I: 1) Edit the backpack section? Can't find it.
2) Type in the Equipment's Weight
You edit the backpack section irght on teh charsheet. Everythign that's yellow there can be edited. Don't write down weight! The excel sheet will delete itself if you write down the weight of objects!
(Seriously: We believe that weight is nothing a hero should be concerned about. There are no weight fields.)
The second part of the full description (the part that describes the damage) of the Multi-class Sneak Attack from the Class Overview Sheet, cell X19 is missing.
Cell X19 is for the rogue class, not for the multiclass feature. We might add the damage info in an upcoming version though.
Some things people considers bugs but aren't:
- Rangers do get "Toughness" if they chosoe "Two Weapon FIghtign Style". They do NOT get "Two Weapon Fighting" (p.201). See page 104.
- Extra feats and skills for humans and Eladrins will automatically be added to your "skills/feats avaiable".
