D&D 4E - Character Race Extension

[SieferSeesSomething]

As a practice project to learn how to make extensions, I decided to add Races to the sidebar for DnD 4e. Personally, I like that some of the sidebar options that 5e has that 4e doesn't have, so while this is a fairly simple beginner project, I decided to upload it as an extension anyway in case others also find it useful. The hope is that I can eventually add more to the sidebar that you can drag and drop to your character sheet, but I'll start with this one until I feel like I fully know what I'm doing.

Version 0.1.0

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the moment, this is mostly to display a list of races from the 4E PC Options compendium module skelekon currently maintains. You can add new races but I don't think it will have some of the automation features. I'll probably mark it as version 1.0 when I feel more confident about it.

What This Extension Does:

• Adds a record type for races in the sidebar
• Allows you to drag a race record to a character in order to add that race to your character sheet
• Adds a link in the character sheet to your race and its associated record
• When a race record is dragged to your character sheet, it will automatically add all associated Racial Features and Racial Powers to your character as well. (Only with races from the 4E PC Options compendium module skelekon currently maintains. I'll try to get it working with added races one day hopefully.)

What This Extension Does Not Do (but it might do one day):

• It does not automatically adjust any of your stats or skills.
• It does not automatically adjust your speed.
• It does not automatically add your vision or senses.
• It does not automatically undo any additions to your character sheet when you add one race and then add another.
• It doesn't account for sub-races, so it might be better to add them as separate races.

If you notice any bugs or have any suggestions related to this extension, let me know in this thread.

Changelog:
0.1.0 - Initial release

Grabbed this to tinker with today and noticed that the extension seems to be creating Power entries instead of what I had assumed would be a bunch of fields to drop notes and links into. Am I looking at the right thing?

Ya that was the quickest and easiest window to use lol. I think feats are the same way I recall. You could just use the Extra Info section to put text in for now.

I was thinking of customizing it more like you're saying, though. Specifically, making it with two tabs, the first one just being blank with text, more free form and you could drag links and stuff it, and a slightly more organized second tab with a couple fields and a couple organized lists of features and powers (basically so I can copy how it looks in the 5e ruleset).
