Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cergorach" data-source="post: 159341" data-attributes="member: 725">About the tutrial:Well written, and pretty clear (i'm talking about usability, i suck at grammer, thus i don't know much about that part).1.) Setup and screen setup is pretty simple and straightforeward. Pretty usefull to give the hotkey ith each action. I want to have a list of all the hotkeys, this would be very usefull!2.) Quick and dirty creation of two opposing forces, everything goes smoothly. The Grid i a beautifull tool for the quick generation of an encounter, wish i had found it earlier...3.) Combat:    a.) Skill check: Had some trouble with this one in the first prebeta, now it works pretty well (i see you changed the layout of the Execute Action screen, looks good). I really like the ability to select multiple opponents and use the Don/Next button to quickly go through them all.    b.) Initiative: Works well, just wish i could edit it a bit more quickly with just using the keyboard (i think tht's reallyimportant because a lot of us really hate using a mouse on your upperleg, and touchpads are not really great IMHO).    c.) Attack: Works excellent, but how do you use Concealment and particulary Cover for AC? How do i confirm a critical? Do i have to do that manually? Any ideas to do that automatically?4.) Battlemat: Works reasonably well for keeping track for where everyone is. But i would like to have a square grid (5'x5', or 10'x10', or larger depending on zoom), it's now 5'x10', very annoying...5.) XP: Looks good for standard play, but we use FRCS experience rules, any idea if something like that can be implemented?I still get some errors across the entire app, but i will have to play a bit more with it before i can say that they are persistent errors or just incidents. I'm very happy with the stability increase with this version, keep up the good work!Things you don't want to hear but did come across:1.) Can't seem to generate a new adventure in In-Game (it doesn't assign an ID), although  this does seem logical, it took me a few minutes to figure out. Maybe it's a good idea to  make it impossible to do certain actions in the different modes, maybe even hide the things  you can't do in each mode?2.) HD is acting up in the Creatures Tab, it seems to count levels double (added five levels  of a prestige class to a character, Paladin 8), it read 8D10+5D10+5D10. When edited  manually, it stays good...3.) Finally, BAB is editable! Can finally recalculate the correct BAB (for the same reason  as stated above (added the the BAB increase from the Purple Dragon Knight twice).4.) Somehow RPM is convinced that i added the Prp twice, but the class screen only shows it  once. Deleted the entry, added it again, now works ok...5.) Special magical weapons don't seem to have any special abilities, i took a Sunblade and  equipped it to the Paladin, it didn't have any plusses or other abilities. Had to make it  magical the normal way, but couldn't add any magical abilities for weapons (there weren't  any available to choose from).6.) Magical abilities for magical weapons, are actually special abilities for armor.7.) Paladins don't have Lvl. 0 spells, i adjusted the spell prograssion table in Class maintainance. I needed to restart RPM before the Update function would work for the Paladin in the Creatures window.Lot's more to come...</blockquote>
