[QUOTE="Astromath, post: 6652118, member: 78315"] I think that when you add the race, the racial ability increases would also be added automatically rather than manually to the ability scores (but not count toward the point buy total). Also, changing the race would replace the old race's ability increases with the new ones. I wonder if there is a way to add two columns for abilities. The first would be the base scores before any ability increases are added (such as racial increases and feat increases [the feat increases must be manually entered]) and the second column would the resulting scores after the increases are added. The first column would not print, but the second would. Two other suggestions concerning point buy. The first suggestion is to add a checkbox to choose point buy. This would cause total limit default to 27 with the ability to change this number (this would allow for home brew campaigns that use point buy with totals other than 27). The second is to show that you are over budget, possibly by changing the color and highlighting the total field somehow. Adding the checkbox would also add the standard point buy array for ability scores (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8) with the highest going toward the class need (of course, this will only work if the class is selected first otherwise it will just add the scores straight down the list with the highest going to Strength and the lowest going to Charisma). Example: The 15 would go in Strength for the Fighter, the 15 would go in Intelligence for the Wizard, etc. My reasoning is that the standard array makes a good starting point and then adjust the scores from there to satisfy your style of play.
