Thanks for putting this together, it's a great sheet. I noticed for my Cleric, Light domain, Mirror Image is not one the spells I can select at Level 2. Not sure if it's missing for some reason.

Also printing the spell sheet, Page 3, the PHB page refs run off the right side of the sheet. I don't know if that's paper size or my issue.

It would also be great to have a Spell Attack modifier on the top of the Spell sheet next to Spell DC Save. Or even on Page 1.

Last, my party have been playing OotA and got the Blessing boon from the deep gnomes, which gives us a +1 to AC and +1 to all saves. I know we can put in the save modifier on sheet 1/Start but couldn't figure how to give myself the AC bump without just modifying my armor to be +1. I will probably remember it, but if I change armor I'd have to remember to move the +1 to the new armor and it makes it look magical when it's not. Having an override somewhere would be helpful.

Thanks again, love the work.

I've created a Warlock Character with the "Pact of the Tome" Boon and selected the "Book of Ancient Secrets" Invocation.

But I can't seem to add additional cast as ritual only spells, (from any class spell list), to my spell sheet in any way. Am I missing something?

Created an account on here just to say thank you and express my gratitude for a truly amazing program.

I only have one criticism and it's not even of the sheet, it is of my own group. I can use the sheet to log 3 of my group's players but I still have to go old-school pencil and paper for the last one because he had to be awkward and want a homebrew class which (as far as I can tell) can't be imputed on there. You have to use one of the base classes if I'm not mistaken?

That is the only thing I can see that would top this program off nicely. The ability to add custom classes. That being said though, still an amazing piece of work and thank you again!

Thanks for the feedback, awesome that your group is using generator. Correct, players will need to select a base class from the official released classes. Custom Classes are a big challenge, it is possible, but requires a huge amount of work (and then more work when a new base class is released). I am not working on custom classes, and won't be anytime soon.

ForgedAnvil,

I like the new high density character sheet. But I also like a simpler view as well. For example: I manipulated the Character Summary page to get this view:

http://www.screencast.com/t/Al9x10Gc

I obtained that view using v1.64, Character Summary tab, print preview, narrow margins, page set-up 84%.

It is a really clean look. It would be great if the spells, race, back ground went to a convenient 4x4 or 4x6 pages with clean breaks.

thank you for all your hard work.

The concept with v2.00 (and to an extent it is possible with v1.64), you will be able to design your own sheets the way you like them. There are many named variables in the tool that can be referred to that has the calculation done for you. For example =CharacterPassivePerception or =CharacterSpeed would do all the calculations required to correctly display the characters passive perception and speed respectively.

Everytime I try to rate up the character generator it always gives me the "error invalid download" message.

Recommend send a mail to Morrus and inform him of the issue with the site, the more people who do this the better the chance it will be fixed.

Additional Suggestion for version 2.0.

Would love to have Gear slots on Character Sheet II be autocomplete text. Is that possible with Excel? Be nice not to have to scroll through the entire list of equipment each time.

Or

Is it possible to build in a toggle to allow the 'Equipment Packs' from page 151 of the PHB? Hit the toggle for Burgler's Pack and have each item auto populated on to the Gear line items.

Thanks for the feedback, Excel doesn't support autocomplete for drop down data validation menus (though it should). Equipment packs can only be done with macros, I'm not too keen on implementing macros (in fact I plan to remove the translation macro in v2.00) for compatibility reasons. So for now you can either use the drop down menus or type the item in manually. if something changes in the future I will look at it again for sure

Thanks for the feedback, for the light domain cleric I don't believe they get mirror image as a spell - correct me if I am wrong though. Page 3 should be set up to fit 1 page wide and height should be set to automatic (you can set this under Page Layout in the ribbon menu). For the spell attack modifier you can choose this under the Attacks dropdowns on the Start sheet, e.g. Spell Attack (Int) and it will show this on CSI. Refer to Example Character Zenith for details (and some cool formula used, go to Formulas > Show Formulas). For your AC + use the other armor in the armor section on the Start sheet.

But I can't seem to add additional cast as ritual only spells, (from any class spell list), to my spell sheet in any way. Am I missing something?

What I've recommended in this case is to rename Level 9 in the Spellcasting sheet to Book of Ancient Secrets and you will need to type the name of the ritual spells (no drop down selection available). It is then possible to filter the spells to remove the blank rows from your spell sheet

Suggestion for Version 2.0

Could you give us the ability to rename the Coinage in section 8 of the Start Sheet?

Thanks for the feedback, planned for v2.00

I believe the "Allies & Organizations / Rank:" on Character Sheet IV is broken (displays 0 or False). Worked in 1.63.

Thanks for the feedback, yeah this bug was introduced in v1.64. fixed in v1.65
