Dynamic Excel "Wiesbaden Charactersheet"

[Amurayi]

Have you given any thought to adding more drop-downs for the available magical items/weapons/armor that are in the PHB?

We considered it and decided against it for several reasons:

- copyright issues

- more flexibility with custom items and new items appearing in Dragon magazine with current system.

- more new elements are a source for more bugs which need maintanence (updates)

- we want to keep the amount of excel cell formats low experiencing more problems with older excel versions atm

To sum it up: Would be cool to have but causes problems we don't want to deal with atm.

The Pro sheet should list the ability bonus to damage for each power. If it doesn't then it's a bug we will fix!

At least on the sheet that was split onto 2, it is doing that. I had to do the fix listed above to clear up the damage problem on the Pro Sheet.

With the Damage on the pro sheet, could it be listed like this:
2d8+5(20+1d6)
(person with an 18 attribute using a +1 item)

The damage block on the pro sheet seems to have a lot of room, and filling in the crit detail seems like something that will speed up combat - especially for the people who want to use the pro sheet even if they can't calculate numbers quickly in their head...

Perhaps a simple true/false field could be used somewhere to indicate a preference: see values / see [W] on pro sheet. (Meanwhile, the Wizards and Warlocks are laughing at the silly people with their shiny metal bits.)

v1.14.1 Good News/Bad News

I just downloaded the v1.14.1 .zip file from http://www.nzcomputers.net/heroforge/default4e.asp, and there's
good news and bad news.

The good news is that the .zip file contains both the combined (Excel 2007 only) spreadsheet and the split (Excel XP/2003 compatible) sheets.

The bad news is that the split sheets appear to be the previous v1.14.0 version, not the new v1.14.1 -- which presumably has patches for the recently-reported bugs.

Charles, who is playing an LFR game this weekend and needs a fixed compatible version...

Doh, we used "Spellsword" instead of "Swordmage" in some places as terms. No wonder he doesn't work properly. Consider it fixed!

Is it fixed for version 14.1 'cause I can't get the powers in the drop down menu to work in the powers tab.

Something doesn't seem right with the attack bonuses.
It's giving me the correct bonus with simple melee and military ranged weapons, but only the ability bonus (no proficiency bonus) with military melee and simple ranged weapons.

No worrys. There's no difference in the versions. All bug fixes will appear in v1.15 which we will publish today or friday so you guys can start playing LFR!

Great, thanks! I'll be clicking "Reload" every couple of minutes...

Charles, with bated breath...

The Pro sheet should list the ability bonus to damage for each power. If it doesn't then it's a bug we will fix!

We will stick to listing the damage with [W] as there is no indication which base attack or weapon you are using it with. It's designed to be more flexible. If you want the damage written out completely use 1d8 for example. Then this is your weapon damage.

Perfect. Thanks!

Sorry been trying to post for a couple of days now, I'm sure some of these have been reported or addressed by now:

Swordmage powers do not appear on drop downs.
Staff of Defense AC bonus does not appear on character sheet.
Drop tab for gender is locked on the initiative card tab.
Brew Potion is now a Level 1 Ritual.
