v12.999 - 3 months of waiting is over!

It has been a long journey, but after almost 3 months, v12.999 is here with its all new import functionality, support for all the latest D&D 5e content, and many, many bugfixes. See the list of changes at the bottom of this post.

As some things have been changed from the ground up, and my time to test everything is limited, you can certainly expect some things to not work perfectly. Please let me know if you find any bugs in the sheets!

Patrons Download
All subscribers to this Patreon can now download the latest version through this post.

If you are a Scholar-tier or higher patron, you will also find this latest version and its additional content in your Dropbox and/or Google Drive.

Subreddit
In other news, somebody has made a subreddit to discuss 'all things morepurplemorebetter'. As far as I can tell, its intention is to gather homebrew content for the sheets and help people with creating custom scripts for it.

Even though I'm not a moderator there, and thus have no control over the direction the subreddit will take, I will certainly try to help people there with creating code for the sheets, bugs, etc.

Changelog for MPMB's Character Record Sheet v12.999 (19 December 2017):
• LESS CONTENT: removed all the non-SRD materials as the sheet is no longer being published on DMs Guild;
• NEW CONTENT: added the specter and the homunculus;
• NEW FEATURE: added a way to import content directly from file, no reason to copy-paste all the text anymore;
• These imported files can have a check for the version of the sheet they are designed for;
• NEW FEATURE: it is now possible to generate a list of all ritual spells for the Book of Ancient Secrets and the Ritual Caster feats (as suggested by Undrhil);
• NEW FEATURE: you can now choose to reset the sheet without losing your added scripts;
• NEW FEATURE: you can now set dynamic modifiers on the companion page that use values from the main character (for example, add the character’s proficiency bonus to a skill of the companion);
• NEW FEATURE: added automation for the Find Greater Steed spell on the companion page;
• NEW FEATURE: the Find Steed and Find Greater Steed spell now ask the user what language to include;
• NEW FEATURE: the armour field is now automatically set when selecting a race, class feature, or feat that adda a special armour option, like natural armour;
• Corrected the Bestow Curse spell to show it offers a Wisdom saving throw (thanks @Stalgren for reporting);
• Changed the depreciated export function to sort the skills alphabetically prior to exporting (thanks for reporting);
• Changed the way spells are sorted so that they are sorted by name, and not by the name of the key (important for future support of other languages);

• Fix for the sources and page numbers of class features not showing up in the Class Features section;

• Fix for the spell sourcebook abbreviations overflowing their fields;
• Fix for the sheet’s print button only being able to print the first page of the spell sheets;
• Fix for the flatten button not working if a multiple pages of spell sheet are present (thanks Julian for reporting);
• Fix for the Colourful sheets not being able to undo using Spell Points (thanks Lakie and Felipe for reporting);
• Fix for races not being able to use limited features with level-dependent usages (thanks Jeramie for reporting);
• Fix for the dialog to set dynamic modifiers on the companion page;
• Fix for the Beast Master’s animal companion not working correctly in the Printer Friendly version;
• Improved handling of imported scripts in the resource dialogue;
• Added handling of removing imported scripts so that its removal is immediately noticeable in the resource dialogue;
• Improved handling of importing a character from another PDF that included imported scripts;
• Update the spell sheet glossary to correct typos and add the SRD as a source;
• Class features with multiple sources now only show the first source listed;
• Added the option for a feature to add multiple entries of a vision (for example, you can now have something grant both 30 ft blindsight and +10 ft blindsight if it was already present);
• Added support for the usages and recovery attributes to feats, making it easier to add feats to the Limited Features section;

v12.999 - 3 months of waiting is over!

Haha, that is a stupid typo. Thank you for reporting it, I will fix it in the next beta!

In Beta 6, Lifestyle cost says Healthy, should be Wealthy

Erik T.

I don't have any issues getting that spell to appear in a spell sheet generated for a Druid using MPMB's Character Record Sheet. If you are referring to the complete spell sheets per class, then you are correct, because those don't include any spells from XGtE.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Am I right in saying that the second level druid spell from Xanathar "Healing Spirit"is missing?

Lady Lana

You can manually edit the spells on the generated spell sheet using the button in front of the line. Clicking that button will give a menu with options. If you don't see a button, but see a checkbox, you can hold CTRL or SHIFT while clicking the checkbox and you will get the same menu. I'm not sure what you mean with "spell from a spell book". If you mean the spells you selected in the dialog, then you can simply select the drop-down box to be empty (the top-most option). I hope this is clear enough of an explanation :)

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I'm using version 12.999, I'm trying to make a Wizard(Evoker) spell page. How do I delete a spell from a spell book that I accidently added? I cant figure out how to do this.

McGixxer

Any app that can open PDF files will do for Android. You will however not be able to use any of the sheet's automation on your tablet, because the automation is made through the Adobe Acrobat JavaScript API, which is only available in Adobe Acrobat for Windows and Adobe Acrobat for Mac OS. The “Flatten” button is intended specifically as a solution for tablet/mobile users. The idea is that you set up your sheet on a proper PC and press “Flatten” before bringing the sheet over to your tablet. Now you can only edit the fields needed during play and all functions that won’t work on your tablet are hidden. After you are done with play, open the sheet on you PC and press “Flatten” again. Now you have a sheet that can be edited fully again.

Does anyone know what free pdf reader I should use to access the most recent version of the character sheet on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4? Thank you all in advance!

Darrin Dennis

Also, the option for a Mechanical Servant was in 12.998 sheet, but no longer available in 12.999

Dakota Bryant

Hey Joost, I am working on an Artificer build, and when I try to add the Bag of Holding it gets frozen on "Applying the effects of the Feature Change..." and will not finish the update. I am using the most recent version of the 12.999 sheet.

Dakota Bryant

So you are asking about magic items! I'm sorry, I'm answering questions inbetween holiday activities, so I don't really take the time to read everything in detail as I'm writing replies on my phone. Magic items addition is planned for v13. I don't know if all will be available immediately because there are many and transcribing them so they fit in the limited space of the sheet is a lot of (boring) work.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

No, I mean like getting items for the loot tables. Example, I roll a D100 and I get a 3, dm looks at loot table and you found a bag of holding. Instead the it would do the weapons,armor pieces and what not. So instead of looking for the weapons stats and features it would have a drop down and it would populate its self

Mark Tollefson

I'm not sure what you mean by this. What are 'all weapon types being populated'? You can add a weapon in the attack section using the drop down boxes. Three are a limited number of those, so it isn't possible to have an attack section with every weapon option, but I doubt any character would need that many options on a regular basis.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

would it be possible to add all weapon types being populated in the weapon section?

Mark Tollefson

love your game, nice work guys ♥

Did you select Shield and Wrathful Smite as your known spells? Otherwise they won't appear. The Warlock's extended spell list is just that, more options to choose from. You don't automatically know those spells. EDIT: after re-reading your comment I see that you are talking about generating a full class spell sheet and not the normal spell generation, sorry. I'll look into it when I get back!

MorePurpleMoreBetter

One thing I noticed, and it may have already bee reported. When generating the Hexblade spell sheet, the expanded spells do not appear. For instance, Shield and Wrathful Smith do not appear in the level 1 spell list when I choose to include the entire class list on the spell sheet. Thank you, and I do really enjoy this product...a lot!

Vincent Costantini

Is the dialog you are talking about named "Set Wizard Spells" and are you setting stuff in the "Spellbook" column? Then yes, you should be able to set as many spells as you want, because it is a spellbook, and there is no way for the sheet to know what spells you found. it is not limited to level, because it isn't limited for any other classes in the dialog either, and it never has been. In the "Set Wizard Spells" dialogue, you can select to continue adding spells to the spellbook by selecting "Add More Spells to the Spellbook". In the "Set Wizard Spells" dialogue, you have a couple of radio buttons to select "What Spells to Show". There you can set to have the sheet generate a list of all the spells you just put in the spellbook or will put in the spellbook in the next dialogue(s). Alternatively you can have it limit the spells to only those levels you can actually use, limit to only the spells that you have prepared, or all the spells on the wizard spell list (i.e. all the SRD spells and any other sources you have selected). From what you wrote, I guess you want the option to show "Prepared spells only". When you select that option, you will get another dialogue to select the spells you have prepared. in that dialogue, the spells are limited to the spells that you included in your spellbook in the previous dialogue(s). If you do not limit the spells to just the prepared ones, the sheet will add checkboxes in front of every spell, so that you can mark which ones you have prepared.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I was trying to make a Wizard and noticed that the sheet would let me add as many spells as I wanted, as if the Wizard was a Cleric who could select the spells daily from the universal spell list instead of just the spells in his spellbook. I remember earlier versions would "gate" how many spells you could add to the spellbook by the wizard level and then you'd select them from there. Has something chagned?

2 Bugs I've noticed: Wood elfs don't really exists and when making a hexblade warlock, the improved pact weapon isn't added.

Hey Joost, I have noticed that many of the Eldritch invocations are not available when they should be.. (ex. Cursebringer is not available to my Hexblade, Gaze of Khirad is not available to my Great Old One Warlock, etc.) Has this already been reported?

Dakota Bryant

I need help with the script I have written for the Warlock Patron of Lolth posted by Mike Mearls on 20Nov2017. I've went over my script many times and still cannot get it to work. Could someone take a look at it and help me fix it?

David Street

Hmm, I seem to have made a typo for making the Mechanical Servant work with the new import feature. Thank you for reporting this issue, I will fix it in the next version!

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Did this version remove the Mechanical servant companion options from artificer?

Mike Knowlton

Generating the spell sheets takes extremely long. This is because of how Adobe Acrobat generates new form-fillable pages. There is nothing I can do about this. The only thing you can do is wait longer, or get more RAM for your machine. As long as Adobe Acrobat is still using CPU, you can assume it is still working on generating the spell sheets.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Question: I just got hte new version, but I have been having issues with the spell sheets locking up Adobe Acrobat DC. I have waited over 30 mins and the spells sheets dont seem to update and the program stops responding. Is there a fix for this? or am I just going to have to stop using the spell sheets?

When selecting an Elf racial field populates with the wood elf racial benefits regardless of which sub race is used.

Lance Schantz

I have no such issue. Did you add some custom code perhaps? Did you try with a freshly downloaded sheet from the download post?

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Selecting Wood Elf does not add the Elven language proficiency

Erik T.

I'm sorry to hear the import isn't working for all your characters. I'm happy to take a look if you send over the character sheet that isn't importing.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Quick question about this version. I downloaded it, and went to import my previous character sheets. I've got one character that won't import at all. It gives a "Invalid file location or type". I've verified that it's a proper character sheet, I can import other characters made with that sheet with no problem. I've tried moving and renaming the sheet in case there was an issue with that. No idea why it's happening, and it's the only sheet I'm having trouble with. Suggestions?

The sheets were taken of DMs Guild by WotC and are never allowed to return. The sheets are available for free on ENworld and this Patreon is just for people who want to make a donation.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Hey I’ve been out of the loop a for a bit I’ve surmised that the sheet is no longer on DMSguild but as someone who got my sheet from there is Patreon the only place to get the sheet now? I’ve looked around and can’t find a clear answer as to weather the Patreon is the only download place now.

Alphamine19

This Character Sheet ROCK! Thanks a bunch!

Wandering Knight

Check the sheet download post please.

Selecting Drow as a race gives Wood Elf instead.

Adam Campbell

Bugs for non-SRD content should be reported at their source, which is not in a public comment session in this Patreon.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Selecting “Elf, Wood” from drop down doesn’t populate race info at any location where it normally would (resistances, racial features etc). Typing wood elf does though, aside from speed.

Chief_T3

So not sure if you are the one who wrote the Xanathar's.js but there is an error with one of the feats, Prodigy. In the script it is giving a +1 to an ability score but the the book does not say that.

John T Coyne

I'm some bug with the new sheet. So far, i've found these two: When opening the sheet for a new character, inputing Wood Elf doesn't set the speed. when choosing the Linguistic Feat, doesnt put the text of the feat

Huruk

I think magic items are first since that's what the community voted on, but since this whole debacle that's why we keep getting 12.xxx versions haha. Multi language was the patreon step that got blown out of the water due to people not getting the sheet. I'm excited for magic items...But I'm way more excited for the dm sheet he teased us with.

Shwaffle

What's next? Magic items automation? Multi-language support? And of course, thanks!

Soma

The link is indeed incorrect in the email from this post, but had since been corrected in the post itself. Corrections obviously don't go through in the email ;)

MorePurpleMoreBetter

The subreddit link appears to be incorrect. The correct link should be: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/mpmb/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.reddit.com/r/mpmb/</a>

Thanks for the early Christmas present MPMB.

James G Baggett

Importing a character from another sheet is still in the same place: in the Import menu. The specific option has had its name changed slightly since the previous version. The Import menu is opened with the "Import" button in the 'JavaScript-window'-toolbar or with the "Import/Export" bookmark.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I may be blind, but where is the NEW direct import option for older versions of characters?

Friday Knights

Don't forget to update your twitter, just a friendly nudge.

Nod

MPMB, you are a BEAST! I don't know how you find the time to keep maintaining and updating this character sheet, but I am VERY glad you do so. Becoming a Patron of this project is one of the best decisions I've made :)

Patrick Egan

Excellent! Can't wait to take the new version out for a test drive.

Nod

Awesome! The Reddit page looks nice. I'm excited to download the new version and test it out.
