Don't forget the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Thanks for the explanation morepurplemorebetter! I thought that when choosing the spells at the bottom of the Input tab where it says "Spells to add to class list, racial bonuses, class bonuses, etc:" would choose the spells to be shown in the spellbook, kind of like the Cantrips Known section. I guess I shoulda read the blurb above the orange edit spells button. Sorry for the dumb question, just getting used to the spellbook generator.
Thanks again for all your hard work!!! I wish I could help you guys, but I'm just a semi-novice and not familiar with programming. I can donate tho, so next beer is on me! ;-)

Thank you very much Liquidjim! Hope you get a lot of fun out of using this sheet, I know my party has! My aim when starting this project was to get a sheet that simplifies the lives of the players by presenting the rules of their character in a clear way, as I felt the official character sheet didn't do adequately. So it is very nice to hear somebody calling it out on that! 
Hi!
I'm having trouble downloading the latest version (7.35) of the character sheet, since both main PDF files (letter and A4 version) are being blocked upon download by my Avast Internet Security Suite as being infected with JS
dfka-gen [Expl] (obviously some kind of JavaScript exploit). I didn't experience said problem up until and including v6.96beta. Is this something to be concerned about or just a false alarm?
Regards,
Ike

This is a false alarm. Unfortunately Avast incorrectly sees this PDF as containing a virus. I had them edit this listing, but apparently I have to do that for every version of my sheet :SI'm having trouble downloading the latest version (7.35) of the character sheet, since both main PDF files (letter and A4 version) are being blocked upon download by my Avast Internet Security Suite as being infected with JS

You can also give Avast the heads up about this false-positive yourself. It probably works better if more people do it

Been thinking a bit about the general layout.
Page 1 is mostly fine as is. Basically the current status of the character. Numbers heavy.
Page 2 is a mix of character development, background, and inventory.
Page 3 is a mix of combat status/info, and inventory.
Page 4 is affiliations and background stuff.
I bring this up because I'm making a human (variant) fighter, and I plan to more or less pick feats every time I can rather than stats improvements, which means I need 8 feats slots. Currently only 4 are supported. Then I noticed that some pages had an identity crisis, which means it's hard to remember which page the information you're looking for is on. Redesigning Page 2/3 would allow to support all the feats, and eliminate some redundancies, and give each page a clearer sense of identity/purpose. So I used the following philosophy for the redesign:
Page 1 stays as is. Basically this covers the immediate status of the character, in terms of numbers.
Page 2 becomes focused on the current status of the character, in terms of words (afflictions, features, racial traits and abilities, proficiencies, etc.). I wish I could fit the combat rules here, but there' just no space.
Page 3 becomes focused on inventory. Combat rules are put here because there's no space on 2nd page. Combat rules could also be turned into an optional 'extra equipment/notes' or something.
Page 4 stays pure role playing stuff.
This mostly means modifying the 2nd/3rd page. I came up with these changes
The list of changes are as follows.
New 2nd page (see mockup below)
* Merged proficiencies (9 languages and 9 other proficiencies is ridiculous, 9 total is more reasonable)
* Longer Class Feature (result of merged proficiencies)
* Move Personality traits/ideals/flaws/bonds to 4th page where the role playing stuff is.
* 8 feats, to accommodate the maximum allowed
* Move equipment/coins/gems from 2nd page to 3rd page
* Move status/exhaustion from 3rd page to 2nd page
New 3nd page (see mockup below)
* Get rid of useless 'character' box.
* Put equipment/coins/valuables section here. Expanded, so no need for an 'extra equipment' /'other hold section. Could be reintroduced/kept easily though.
* Gems/valuables section have amount/weight/value sub-columns.
* Get rid of the 3 'attuned' items. This is covered in Magic Items section so is redundant.
* Magic items sortable (switch with item above/below).
* Not shown should be a 'total wealth' in GP, next to the 'total weight'. Forgot to put it there.
New 4th page
* Put Personality traits/ideals/flaws/bonds somewhere here. Also ideals/flaws/bonds should be plural, I think.

I've got a response from WotC customer service about Dragonbon's Draconic Ancestry and Sorcerer's Draconic Bloodline Draconic Ancestry. The answer is that a Dragonborn Sorcerer can have two different Ancestries, one from being a Dragonborn and the other from being a Sorcerer with Draconic Bloodline. This basically means that the Dragonborn has, essentially, 10 subraces, one for each color of dragon. And combined with the Sorcerer class, with 10 more combinations, that would mean there's 45 different combinations of Ancestry.
With the above in mind, I resubmit my request of having to choose the Dragonborn's Draconic Ancestry separate from the Sorcerer's Draconic Bloodline Draconic Ancestry.
