This tool seems very helpful...however I noticed some of the bugs from the Beta are still here. The "Duplicate" issue when choosing Background/Race/Class doesn't allow the player to choose another options (as per the PHB). I also noticed that going through the Inventory portion, several parts of the descriptions are cut off due to the size of the field on display. Is there a way to increase these fields, or increase the entire size of the window, thus allowing players to read the information... I saw this often with weapons. You can click on the shield to pull of the information, however it doesn't actually tell the player what the damage is of that weapon, just the weight and the cots. I also don't see a way to add extra gold. Such as my Barbarian Half-Orc with a Background with Soldier... would have duplicate skills in Intimidation, also with starting equipment they would get a pouch with 10GP in it. It would be nice to add it at the beginning as part of their starting equipment. I just played with it for a few moments as of today, and these were the immediate things I noticed.

I was playing with it a few more times... and discovered the Ability Scores are not being read via Custom Races. However, the old method of using "click and drag" onto the sheets, the system DOES detect it and calculate it correctly. So something in the wizard isn't reading the same information as the old sheet does.

Is it possible to get a little notation next to selections in the character Wizard about where the choices are drawn from? So something that could have an abbreviated name of the module in parentheses after the selection. I have a campaign using some UA options and it is difficult to be sure if the actual release version or the UA version is being picked. For example, both the UA and released Warforged show up in the race options in the wizard and it would be nice if there was a little notation like (UA) or (ERFTLW) next to them so I can figure out which one is which.

Yes, the duplicate skill issue is being worked on this week and will release in the class page improvement in the next update. The UI for selecting skills will have to be altered to allow a general choice if the duplicate comes from selections that do not allow choices. Starting equipment will be added in a future inventory page improvement update.
Custom races are currently not supported but I'll be addressing that in the race page improvement update in the future.
There was tooltip if you hovered over the selection button for race/class/background/etc., but it was disabled for release. I will be re-enabling it in the next Character Wizard update.Last edited by FG_Wraith; August 6th, 2020 at 21:31.

just as a suggestion could we make metamagic selectable for sorcerors. currently they are all bundled as one thing. when it should be a choice. because you choose two at lvl 3 and then choose 2 at another level. if this were to be implemented it should be with the choices already made greyed out.

Races, Backgrounds and items appear to be parsed from modules open.
Can we have skills work in the same way by parsing the list of available skills as there maybe custom skills available.Ultimate License

That's not a bad idea, but I do have to maintain the design's original intent; to make character creation easier and faster. Considering that you can always right click on the skills in the skills tab of the character sheet and add your own, (among other more difficult but permanent methods) I'm not sure how this addition would fit in the 'easier and faster' intent. But I will certainly keep it in mind if I see an opportunity to implement it with an intuitive method.

will part of the restructure of the way characters are handled will they gain all the relevant coding (actions) for their respective skills and unique features and in the future possibly reworked spells for the action tab?
