Message: <blockquote data-quote="eamon" data-source="post: 5370715" data-attributes="member: 51942">I'm hoping for a real, flexible charsheet export (e.g. html) that includes power text+details.Only one person I know will use a online charsheet at the table, so a printable version is pretty critical.I'd like it to be flexible so that actually usable charsheet templates might exist eventually.  Much as the current CB is good for a quick start, it makes poor charsheets with lots of distracting, redundant info and visual effects, and poor layout in general.  Also, and they can't really fix that, it makes many "mistakes" - some of which are plain bugs, but most by virtue of failing to take into account common circumstances (e.g. bonuses to action points by other party members not printed on action point card, effects of feats/weapons don't get included, etc.)  These things really add up; by paragon tier I've got characters where I don't think a single power has the correct bonuses damage.  An editable format would help here.However, I don't expect this - I expect (at best) a pdf export.Despite the fact that the CB is the "killer app" for the D&DI, I don't really ever expect to use it much - and haven't so far, either.Realistic killer features:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A decent, smartly filtered search in the compendium that includes feats+items people actually take or actually search for as opposed to the 99% junk that's out there.  I have real hope for this to occur.  This could include correlational analysis ala amazons "people that look at this implement also look at...."</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Expressive custom filters (e.g. heavy blade weapons that do fire damage, or classes that include the stealth skill on the class list and have Con as a secondary stat, etc.).  I don't expect to ever see this.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The ability to make shortlists in the compendium that include a bunch of arbitrary game elements - and possibly bookmark the list.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Permit user settings in the compendium such as "never ever show me this rule element again" such that distracting elements that come up again and again can be permanently removed from the results.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Better linking between pages and rule elements; much more links by default between pages - perhaps automatically inferred (better imperfect than nothing).</li> </ul></blockquote>
