MPMB's Character Tools - get them here!

I just wanted to say that your work with this fillable character sheet is a godsend and you are an amazing person for contributing your time and effort into a project like this. This has allowed me to bypass the dissuasive and sometimes overwhelming character creation process for new players who aren't familiar with RPGs. The ease in which I can go from character creation to boots on the ground, so to say, has been cut by literal hours/days. So, I give the biggest thank you I possibly can! You deserve it!

Hi Chris, I don't add content on request anymore. I used to have higher-paid tiers for just that, but they proved too hard to maintain because of the number of requests. I closed those tiers in March 2022 and I am still catching up with all the extra content I have to script. These extra content scripts aren't added to the default sheets, but are instead available for download on my GitHub as add-on scripts that can be added as desired. I have no plans of releasing builds that include all possible 3rd-party content, as there would be very few people who are interested in such an unwieldy beast ;) As the sheet supports adding your own add-on scripts (it is how all the WotC content is loaded as well), you could make it yourself, nicely ask the community to make it for you and hope for the best, or commission (pay) someone to make it for you. Community request and commission requests are best made in the #scripts-request channel on the MPMB Discord server ( https://discord.gg/Qjq9Z5Q ) or to a lesser extent in the /r/MPMB subreddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/mpmb/ ) Also, be sure to check the Community Add-on Script Index if what you are looking for hasn't already been scripted by someone else. To add homebrew content to the automation, you need to write your content in a format that the sheet can understand. I have written extensive documentation on how to make such an add-on script, which you can find on my GitHub here: https://www.flapkan.com/mpmb/syntax To load an add-on script to the sheet, please follow this guide: https://www.flapkan.com/how-to/add-more-content If you need any help getting your add-on scripts working, please ask on the MPMB Discord server (see link above). Starting with writing code can be a challenge, so don't feel bad to ask for help!

Could we add the Apothecary class from Drakkenheim? My GM bought into the kickstarter but I can't put the class on your sheet.

The extra bonus to initiative is because of Jack of All Trades: add half your proficiency bonus, rounded down (i.e. +1 at your level 8) to all ability checks (rolling for initiative is an ability check).

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I have a (potentially) odd calculation. Multi-class Bard 6/Cleric 2. Dex bonus of 2 but it gives me an Initiative of +3 and I can't figure out why. Also sometimes get a Javascript error (Adobe Reader on Windows) but can't replicate it yet. Once I can I'll share the information.

No worries, I totally understand something minor like that being forgotten the moment a workaround is found. I just wanted to make sure you understand that I am not always going to find every bug, so reporting them is essential for them to get fixed. The Dragonlance bug will be fixed in the next version. If you want it to be fixed for you asap, you can update the pre-loaded add-on script file by getting the new package. The guide how to do that and the link to that package you can find here: https://redd.it/jka96i

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I apologize for not reporting it sooner, it's so minor that unless I was actively working on that character's sheet it slipped my mind!

Thank you for reporting this bug. Without these kind of bugs being reported, I have no way of knowing that they are an issue, unless it is something I happen to use in my own game. So please let me know of any more that you come across.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

There's a very tiny bug that is not fixed in the new version: if you give a character the pike version of the Dragonlance, the Attacks field on the first page correctly lists it as "Dragonlance (Pike)," but still treats it like a lance. I assume it's matching "lance" in the text and not processing further, because deleting any letter from "lance" will make the fields update to treat it like a pike. I've gotten around this thus far by renaming it to "Dragonlanee," which is basically indistinguishable with the default font. Thank you!

Hi Waltfield, There is a feature suggestion for this on the MPMB Discord server. As a Patreon, you can vote for it. Unfortunately, implementing a robust solution for the class features field overflowing is not viable in Adobe Acrobat, because of the limitations of it JavaScript API. So even if I added a page that has Class Features from the top to the bottom, many multiclass variations would still have overflowing fields. The best solution I can suggest is to copy the part that is not visible and paste it on a Notes page. As Patreon messaging doesn't allow hyperlinks, I have added them at the bottom for easier readability: Link to the MPMB Discord server: https://discord.gg/Qjq9Z5Q Patreon post with explanation: https://www.patreon.com/posts/33362548

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I have a question, is there a way we could get a full sheet for class features only? Right now for example, I'm multiclassing as a lore bard and battle master, and I basically have to scroll down in order to see all the details at a glance. Is there a way we could get a dedicated page for it if we so choose? Thank you for the consideration.

Waltfield

Apologies, I should have been clearer. Most of those are artifacts, which are not implemented in the sheet. No artifact from any source are added because the sheet lacks support for the the major and minor properties. I'll have a look at the Wyrmreaver Gauntlets.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Others that are missing from the list are the Adze of Annam, Bigby's Beneficent Bracelet, Helm of Perfect Potential. Also when selecting the Wyrmreaver Gauntlets the info text is missing.

Storyforge

You are correct, I see that the two firearm magic items are missing (Thunderbuss and Lucent Destroyer). I'll fix that in the next version. Thank you for notifying me about this omission! Did you come across any more magic items missing? I only see the two missing from Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Hey I noticed that the Thunderbuss from Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants isn't in the magic item list and some other magic items from that book are missing too. Are they added later?

I love using these sheets any time i can! It has made it so much easier! Just out of curiousity, will the Blood Hunter Class be added? If it is, i cannot find it in class and archtypes, is it somewhere else?

Thank you very much for your kind words, Sean! The PDFs are actually available as "Pay What You Want" on my website, which includes paying nothing. You can get them for free if you want, see: https://www.flapkan.com/#download

Big thanks for keep up to date with these. The pdf's are absolute LIFE savers. A friend originally shared them with our DnD crew many years ago, and once you use these there's really no going back. Your patreon is pretty easy to find, so it's well worth what little you charge for access to this.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Hi, Just subscribed and using the character sheets which are amazing. As I also control the group pile of loot and equipment , potions scrolls etc, do you have any sheets or tools to be able to do that simply? I feel like an expanded equipment sheet might do with some sub tabs to list which player has which etc?

Hello,

I'm filling it in on the internet page. That may be the issue. I'll install the reader and try again

Could it be that you aren't using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC? Because that would explain the issue. Otherwise I'll need some more information: how to replicate this with a freshly downloaded sheet.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I cannot work out how to add the proficiency bonus on the colour sheets. It just states 'defin' but wont let me add anything. Any clue why? Its happening as soon as I enter '1' into the level.

Your reply is not showing up for me here, but I did receive if in my inbox. I think you might be mistaking how the backgrounds from Guildmasters' Guide to Ravnica work. You don't automatically know the extra cantrips, they are added to the list of cantrips that you can select from. As for the spells, they are added to the spell sheet when I generate one, are they not for you? E.g. Create or Destroy Water is a spell you get from the Izzet Engineer background that would otherwise not be on the artificer's spell list. Note that they are added as options to prepare, they are not automatically prepared as that is not what how the Izzet Engineer background is written to function. If you would've taken a class that needs to select which spells it knows, like a bard or sorcerer, then the Izzit Engineer spells would not be automatically added to the generated spell sheet but would be selectable as one of the spells known, just like how it is with cantrips for an artificer.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Sure. I actually downloaded the latest version again. So, I put number 1 on the level slot, the dialog opens to choose my class at level 1, I choose artificer and hit apply. I close the dialog that pops up to generate a spellsheet. Then I choose my background, izzet engineer, I choose the tools and language I wish and then the dialog for generating a spell sheet pops up again, I choose my artificer cantrips, hit next and it goes to the last step right away with the generate the spell sheet or don't generate a spell sheet options and in the include in Spell Sheet box there's only the artificer, not the izzet engineer. Naturally, if I click generate it generates the sheet but without the izzet engineer's extra cantrips and spells at level 1. I tried it up at level 3 and it still does the same thing.

Orestis Pafiliaris

I'm sorry to hear it is not working for you as expected. I just tested this, and the spells appear as expected for me when I generate a spell sheet after selecting a 1st level artificer with the Izzet Engineer background. Can you walk me through how to reproduce this issue, starting with a freshly downloaded sheet?

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Encountered a strange problem. I am trying to make an artificer with the izzet engineer background but for some reason the engineer's spells never appear on the generate spellsheet process and of course not on the spellsheet itself. I don't know if anybody else has encountered this issue but for sure I'd like some help with it.

Orestis Pafiliaris

Great to hear you got it working! Just FYI, JavaScript missing could possibly be because you at one point opened the PDF in a program that automatically removes any JavaScript because it considers it unsecure. Preview on Mac is notorious for doing exactly that.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I don't know if you corrected the issue (the Javascript was missing) or if I routed until I found a working file. Thank you for responding to my question. Have a great day 😀.

The problem was: the sheet was missing the Javascript window. I don't know if you fixed the issue or if I did by routing around for a working form. In either case, thanks for your attention to the matter. Thank you, Harvey Linda

Without more information on what you've tried and where your get stuck, I can only give you a generic answer. It could be that Patreon is busy and that's why your download from this post is failing. You can try again at a later time. Or perhaps you are talking about the PDFs not working as expected and not the download process failing. If so, the first step is to make sure you are opening them in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC on a machine running Windows or macOS. You can get Adobe Acrobat Reader DC for free here: https://get.adobe.com/reader I hope this helps, otherwise please let me know what is going wrong in a bit more detail.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Why can I no longer download a usable (integrated) character sheet?

Thanks Brother! You will never understand how smooth you have made my Sessions!!!! x

Great to hear the sheet has served you well for such a long time already! I had to look it up, because I wasn't aware of any RAW alternative names for the spells you mention, and I was right. What you are referring to are the names of Eldritch Invocations. Those Invocations are Warlock class features that allow you to cast a spell or enhance a spell. They are not alternative names for spells. However, what you are asking is possible with a custom import script. It just depends on what you want to achieve on how to write them. Do you want to be able to write "Mire the Mind" on the spell sheet and have it recognized as the spell "Slow"? Or do you want that if you select the Mire the Mind invocation, that the Slow spell appears with the name "Mire the Mind" on the spell sheet? I'm happy to write an example code for this, that you can copy and edit to fit whatever invocation you want. Code might sound intimidating, but it won't be much more than changing the text from an example to what you want to use. And you can just have all that text in a .txt file and import that into the sheet. Imported script files like that can alter any of the automation in the sheet that you want, including (parts of) content imported from elsewhere. The only thing is, Patreon comments are a terrible place for sharing code, because the formatting will get screwed up to the point that you can't copy-paste from it. If you want some example scripts, would you mind asking your question again on the MPMB Discord server? It is trivial to share code there, while neigh-impossible here. Link to the MPMB Discord server: https://discord.gg/Qjq9Z5Q

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Great sheet design, have been using it for a couple of years now :-). Is there a way to set the import pre-existing character sheet scripts to recognize alternative (but RAW) warlock spell names, like Mire the Mind = Slow, Shroud of Shadow = Invisibility, etc.? And along the same lines, recognize feat-based modified spell names, like Eldritch Blast > Agonizing Blast?

William L Stefanov

As you can read on the FAQ on my website, I currently have no plans for making character sheets for any other system than D&D 5e, except newer versions of D&D

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Any Pathfinder 1.0 character sheets? I am a contributer :)

No that is perfect i appreciate you taking the time to reply thank you

There is a FAQ for exactly this on my website: https://www.flapkan.com/faq#mobile-support Apologies for the short answer, I'm writing this on my phone.

Good morning is there anyway to use this on my Tablet with out getting the Critical Fail. I just want to view and and change things like used or unused spell slots or change my hit points.

A bunch, too much to list in a comment here. There are many import scripts posted on the subreddit and on the Discord server. The ones I've transcribed can be found on my GitHub, as well as on the subreddit (in its wiki). Make sure to use the search function on Reddit. If you can't find something specific, you can always make a request. Subreddit link: https://reddit.com/r/mpmb

MorePurpleMoreBetter

The Wild Shape pages are optional. They won't be visible when first opening the sheet. To add them, click on the greyed-out bookmark "Wild Shape" and the sheet will ask you if you want to add this page or not. Alternatively, you can click the pink "Layout" button in the toolbar (sometimes named JavaScript Window).

Which third party content is available for the character sheets?

Thanks for all your hard work, man. These are amazing!

I love the redesign

Thank you. Appreciate it.

How do you get the link to the discord channel?

Could you explain what you mean (with a screenshot for example)? Because I have a feeling that you are running into a bug with Adobe Acrobat that has nothing to do with the sheet. You are having the same issue if for you the armour drop-down box is looking like this (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/282006114428649473/634032565732245534/unknown.png) and you can't add much text, while it is supposed to look like this (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/282006114428649473/634032722406408220/unknown.png), where you can add as much text as you want (but not all will show up on a print-out). This issue regarding the drop-down boxes (and the text in it) being too big, seems to be a problem for more people. Unfortunately it is unclear what is causing this. My best guess is that it has something to do with an automated update that unexpectedly broke something, most likely an update of Acrobat, Windows, graphic drivers, or a weird combination of all the above. See, for reference, this post by another MPMB user here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/29161161 And this post on the Adobe forums: https://community.adobe.com/t5/Acrobat/Drop-Down-Text-is-HUGE-But-only-on-my-PC/td-p/9041911 As well as these reddit posts about this same issue: https://redd.it/8vevac/ , https://redd.it/bwzv0i/ , https://redd.it/hh7so8/ , https://redd.it/oh8sla/ Long story short, it is hard to point at something that is the cause as different people have found different solutions. The things you could take a look at that solved it for people: • Updating Windows 10. • Settings or driver(s) for your GPU or other graphic adapters. You should definitely update your graphic drivers to see if that remedies the issue. • DPI scaling and accessibility setting in your operating system. Try setting them to 100% (no scaling) to see if that resolves the issue. • DPI scaling in Adobe Acrobat, set it to "No Scaling" with Edit >> Preferences >> General >> Scale for Screen Resolution (restart required). • Uninstalling Adobe Acrobat Reader, running the cleaner ( https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html ), rebooting, and installing it again: https://get.adobe.com/reader You can test if it is the settings by booting your machine into safe mode and/or making another user on your machine and seeing if the same thing happens under that user account. One patron reported that the issue was only solved after a fresh install of Windows. Thus you can always try that as a last resort.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Could you make the font in the drop menus smaller?

Micah Watkins

There sure is. The sheet has the option for you to import an add-on script. Such a script can add any kind of content to the sheet, be it classes, subclasses, races, magic items, feats, weapons, armour, gear, etc. etc. To make such an add-on script, have a look at the syntax on my GitHub. For questions about making such a script (I know the first time can be very daunting), please use the MPMB Discord server, as there are many knowledgable people there!

Robert Whitsell

if you use the sheet on a win/macos and then "Flatten" it on the javascript control panel it will work in mobile- you just won't be able to use the neat javascript functions.

Brock Samson

Unfortunately, there are no mobile apps that support the JavaScript API needed to use my character sheets. You'll have to use a computer running Windows or macOS with the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. Once you have your sheet setup there, you can transfer it to a mobile device where it will effectively be read-only.

Is there’s way to open the sheets on an iPad? I have adobe reader installed but it still says it doesn’t open correctly.

Only WotC content is pre-loaded in these sheets by default. You can add more content by importing them, if it is written in the right syntax. Lucky for you, there is a good import script for the Blood Hunter and you can get it on my GitHub. Even better, the How To Guide on my website uses it as an example, so all you have to do is follow the steps here: https://www.flapkan.com/how-to/add-more-content

I dont see a blood hunter class in the sheets, am i doing something wrong?

I get it and appreciate all yoyr work

Dinglebats

I am familiar enough with Adobe JS to know some of the issues including that the sync (for ease of programming) can only be one way and which way do we want it, unless you set up a previous question that then sets it up that way for the sheet, but then what if we wnat to change it afterwards because it's cumbersome...etc, etc, etc.

Dinglebats

Great to hear you like the sheets! If you are talking about synchronising the checkboxes being checked/unchecked at the same time on the first and spell sheet pages then unfortunately I'm going to have to disappoint you. Although technically possible (but certainly not trivial), the checkboxes don't synchronise. The spell slots are due for a revisit though, so it might be something I'll implement in the future!

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Thank you for the amazing sheets! A little feedback... I can't seem to get the spell slots to sync between the front page and the spell page. Is there a way to do it?

You're a hard working individual and without you, the game would definitely be plagued with tedium! Loving your work and that's why I subscribe. Keep doing what you do!

Hi Sophie, thank you for your kind words! I was about to reply with the suggestion to look at the Dragonmark races when I read your EDIT. Good that you found them!

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Hey, thank you so much for these fantastic forms! They're super helpful. I'm wondering if the Halfling "Mark of Hospitality" and "Mark of Healing" subraces are hidden somewhere in the sources I'm not finding? I think it's originally sourced from Eberron - Rising from the Last War, but it doesn't seem to be included in the race options. Are those an option somewhere, or can they be added in the future? EDIT: Oh, I just found them under "Dragonmark" in races. Haha, thanks!

Hi Scott, Flock of Familiars doesn't appear in the Aquisition Incorporated book, it does however appear in the Extra Life module Lost Laboratory of Kwalish. All Extra Life content is disabled by default, as it ranges from playtest, to optional, to unofficial content. You can set the source to be included in the sources window and regenerate the spell sheet to get the spell to show, if you want.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Hey just became a patron and noticed Flock of Familiars from Aquisition Incorporated isn't in any of the spell sheets. Is there a reason for this?

Scott Halfhill

Thank you for the clarification! Sorry for bothering you.

Thank you for reporting any issues you find with the sheet. Although the rules clarification you found is an official one, the D&D team changed their mind in later rules clarifications and said that elven trance does indeed grant a full rest in only 4 hours. You can find the up to date rules clarifications here on the WotC website: https://dnd.wizards.com/articles/sage-advice To find this specific ruling about the elf trance, download the most recent Sage Advice PDF ( https://media.wizards.com/2020/dnd/downloads/SA-Compendium.pdf ) and look for the Racial Traits section on the 2nd page. The first question is about elven trance and long rests.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I found an error in the sheet I'm using, and I apologize if I'm just using an outdated version. The notes for a Sea Elf's trance ability claims that four hours of trance offers full "Long Rest" benefits. WotC has made it clear that the trance ability is not intended to shorten the 8 hour long rest. Here is their blog post on the matter. https://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/rules-answers-september-2015#:~:text=The%20Trance%20trait%20does%20let,eating%2C%20and%20other%20restful%20activity.

Hi ems, The Asmodeus Tiefling is identical to the Tiefling from the PHB, so you can just select "Tiefling" in the race drop-down. if you prefer, you can write "Tiefling, Asmodeus" or "Asmodeus Tiefling" in the race drop-down and the sheet will recognize it as well.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Is the tiefling bloodline: asmodeus on the sheet? As I can seem to choose it for my race...?

Thank you so much! I wasnt quite sure if it was something in my printer of it was something that was changed with the most recent update!

Hi Nathan, this helps a lot in understanding your issue. You mean that the grey text lines, grey text, and grey boxes aren't printing. The way that these grey lines/text/boxes are rendered hasn't changed between versions, so it is unlikely that this has anything to do with that. If you see all the text lines in the PDF fine, but they aren't showing up on the printed document, then it is undoubtedly and issue with your printer, printer settings, or printer driver. I can't help you with your specific printer settings/drivers, because it is unlikely that I have any experience with the specific printer that you use. If you used a different printer for the different prints, then you know where the issue lies. If you are using the same printer and this suddenly changed, then perhaps a setting changed. Please try to print the character sheet to PDF (by selecting a PDF printer in the print dialog, which will require you to first install a PDF printer if you are on MacOS). If the lines don't show up in this printed PDF, than there is something wrong with Adobe or my sheet. If they do show up, then it is your printer that is the source of your problems. I can recommend you to try some different settings in the print dialog in Adobe Acrobat: 1. There is an option in the Print Dialog's Advanced dialog's Colour Management tab for Treat greys as K-only greys. If this option is not enabled, please enable it and see if that resolves your problem. That option forces ICC color managed grey and any RGB for which R=G=B (RGB “grey”) to print only with the black toner or ink. If this is not a PostScript printer you are printing to, you might check your print driver's options to see if they have a similar option that will resolve this problem. 2. If this seems to difficult, you can try enabling greyscale printing and see if that works. Most printers will want to print grey using colours and not the black toner. By enabling greyscale printing, you can force the printer to use only black. This can be useful if you're low on colour inks and as a troubleshooting step. Here is the option: https://community.adobe.com/legacyfs/online/1498209_pastedImage_0.png

Hi - I couldnt post the pictures directly but youll find them two comparisons as https://imgur.com/KSTSNaP and https://imgur.com/7U09jWF You'll see that one of them has lines where text would go even if there is no text printed in them and the other does not.

There is a feature request over on the MPMB Discord sever that you can vote on for exactly this. At the moment the slots are just lumped together because you can use spell slots from any source for any spell. The only difference between the slots gained from the Warlock class and those form other classes is that used Warlock slots come back after a short rest. What slots these are, will be listed in the Class Feature section of the sheet. Regardless, separating them into their own section could be very useful and if you like this to happen, please vote in Discord for the feature. For more information on how this works, please see here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/33362548

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I'm not sure what you mean with empty fields that still show. If they are empty, there is nothing to print. When you leave a field empty, nothing will print there so you can write stuff in it yourself (with pencil for example). Can you please elaborate (with a screenshot/photo perhaps) what you mean?

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Unfortunately, the sheet only works on Windows or MacOS. Please see the following FAQ for a more detailed explanation and your options: https://www.flapkan.com/faq#acrobat-only

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I just found an apparent problem. I created a multi-class sorcerer/warlock character. The spell sheet combines the slots for warlock and sorcerer instead of keeping them separate. Warlock is the only class that needs to be kept separate. I am using the just released 13,0.9 version.

Thomas John

I used to be able to print with the empty fields still showing on my character sheet is this no longer something that occurs?

My previous post had a poll about this: https://www.patreon.com/posts/v13-0-8-210929-56749435 And people overwhelmingly voted for me not to spend time on old UA. So, I'm sorry, but the people have spoken and there are no plans to implement the Strixhaven UA. That UA would be a nightmare to code anyway, so I'm kinda glad that it was voted out. But unfortunately for you this means that you will have to write the code yourself or find somebody to do it for you.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Are there any plans for the introduction of the Mages of Strixhaven UA? I understand it might be harder to code because its more variable but just curious

Better yet, it is used as THE example in the How To Guide on my website: https://www.flapkan.com/how-to/add-more-content

Would there be a code for the 2020 version of Blood Hunter floating around the web somewhere?

Magpie

No worries, thank you for letting me know that something wasn't working correctly! That it took me a bit longer to find the culprit code wasn't that much of a hassle :)

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Thank you! Sorry about that, totally slipped my mind I was using revised, I was just confused why the old one had it but new one didn't.

Thank you for reporting any issues you find with the sheet! It took a bit of searching, but I found the culprit code that made the Revised Ranger (not the PHB ranger) have this issue with some subclasses from XGtE. This would've been helpful to know, that you were using the Revised Ranger and not the PHB Ranger ;) Note that RAW, you wouldn't get an extra attack, because the subclasses from XGtE aren't supposed to work with the revised ranger. Adding them as an option for the revised ranger is just something I did after many people requested it. Regardless, I'll make sure that this is fixed in the next sheet and that all revised ranger subclasses, except the Beast Master Conclave, get a 2nd attack at level 5!

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I'm not sure if this has already been brought up, but Gloomstalker Ranger does not appear to get an extra attack at level 5 like it should? I've transferred my level 8 one across and it doesn't seem to add it like the other subclasses do

Hi Will, I think you might be confusing some things. There is no Gunslinger archetype in the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount book. There is a Gunslinger archetype made by Matt Mercer available on DMs Guild, so perhaps you are referring to that. As that is not official WotC material, I will not add it to the sheets that you can download. I only load the sheets with the official content, because there is an almost unlimited amount of 3rd-party content and there is not enough time in the world for me to transcribe all that ;) However, when it comes to the Gunslinger by Matt Mercer, you are in luck! I have transcribed this archetype and you can add it to your sheet with ease. You just need to import the file with the code for the archetype into the sheet. You can find the file by going to my GitHub page or on the 3rd-party script index on the /r/mpmb subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/mpmb/wiki/index/3rdpartyindex There you can easily navigate all the 3rd-party scripts that I've made and download them. To add any script file to your sheet, follow this How-To Guide on my website: https://www.flapkan.com/how-to/add-more-content

Are we going to get some of the other things like the gunslinger archetype from Explorer's Guide to Wildemounte?

Thanks for the reply. It would be great to have simple NPCs, but this is great to get us going for now. Cheers

Simon Hudson

You can use the version from the D&D Essential kits, you just have to set that source to be included. I might update them to the rules from TCoE (although not with the option to pick any CR 1/4 or lower stat block, that's simply not feasible).

MorePurpleMoreBetter

The latest poll show that people are really not interested in old UA stuff, especially not in things that have since been superseeded by official publications. I might do the sidekick rules from TCoE at some point and the ones from the essential kits are already in the sheet (which are almost identical to the UA rules), but I'm not going to go back and do the UA version. If you are really dead-set on using the UA version of the sidekick rules, you'll have to transcribe them yourself.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I know it's a tall order, but the UA Sidekicks and commoner would be great additions. The UA sidekicks would be strong options for starting players who don't want to sift through a ton of subclass options.

Any chance of adding the Commoner and Expert NPC 'classes' to the character sheet? There are quite a few occasions when we need to role play non-combat classed characters.

Simon Hudson

Thank you for letting me know that fix worked for you. Nobody else has been able to confirm if it worked or not for them, so this is very good to know!

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Thank you, I found that fix about a week ago and it did solve the issue for me! Thank you!

Hi Brett and Mike, Multiple people have reported issues with new Macs and Adobe Acrobat. This is not an issue with my sheet in particular, but rather with Adobe Acrobat on a Mac and all form-fillable PDFs. You can read more about it on the Adobe Acrobat forums here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/pdf-fillable-forms-are-blinking-non-stop/m-p/12395945 Unfortunately, I don't know of any solution that is certain to work. You can try the suggested setting by Adobe and see if that helps, see their help article: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/apple-silicon-m1-processor-support.html It seems like Adobe is still working on a solution, as it occurs with the latest generation of Apple processors. So you might just have to wait for a new version of Adobe Acrobat, I'm afraid. Good luck, Joost (morepurplemorebetter)

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Hi again, Some more people have reported this same issue and it seems to be related to the latest generation of Apple processors. So if you are using a new Mac and experiencing flickering form-fillable PDFs, you can try the solution suggested by Adobe in their help article: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/apple-silicon-m1-processor-support.html I hope this works (I haven't tested it as I don't own a Mac).

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Hi - Could you explain what you mean by the loading of your sheet with adobe? I'm experiencing the same thing: works on iMac, flashes/slow on Macbook. But I haven't figured out what the difference is between the adobe settings on the two machines.

The latest version (v13.0.8+210929) includes the UA: Draconic Options article. You just have to make sure you include the source for it, as all playtest rules (i.e. all Unearthed Arcana) are set to be excluded by default. The sheet should prompt you to set which sources you want to use the first time you open it. You can also change them with the "Source Material" bookmark.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

will there be/is there a release for UA 2021? (gem dragonborn)

I had this too, I thought I was going crazy. It only happens on my laptop and not my iMac so it's definitely something to do with the loading of the sheet with adobe because my iMac doesn't have the issue

This is not a bug with the sheet, but something with Adobe Acrobat, your graphic drivers, settings, or all of the above. Are you using a Mac, perhaps? Someone's on the MPMB Discord server reported the same issue, but they quickly found out it is a bug more people are experiencing with the latest Adobe Acrobat update on Mac, affecting all fillable forms, see here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/pdf-fillable-forms-are-blinking-non-stop/m-p/12395945 It looks like you'll have to wait for Adobe to fix this issue or revert back to an older version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Is anyone else having issues with the whole sheet sort of... flashing? The headings and menus flash in and out constantly, and I've never had this issue with the sheets previously. I don't know if it's my computer or what, but I uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat and that hasn't helped at all.

Thanks! It worked like a charm, but better than a charm person.

David Skolnick

Sorry for the short response, writing this on my phone, but look here: https://www.flapkan.com/how-to/upgrade-to-new-sheet

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Just wondering if there is an easy way to import info on an older version to the newest one.

David Skolnick

Including and excluding sources is different than importing content, apologies if the terms are confusing because they are so similar. To clarify how the sheet works, I suggest you download a fresh version, click the bookmark to Add Extra Materials and select the option in the menu that talks about importing a file. In the dialog that then opens you'll see the file that is imported. This file is pre-loaded in the Patreon version of my sheets. If you'd get the free version via my website you'd see that it has no script files pre-loaded.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Note that importing content scripts happens with the "Add Extra Material" bookmark. You might've looked at the source selection dialog, but that's not what imports the content, that just sets what part of the content to filter out. An empty sheet, without any imported content, contains only the SRD content, because of legal reasons.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I cleared it all, and the artificer didn't show. So I went to the source material to see if I needed to import Ebberon content, and the only source material it showed was the original Player Handbooks. Like, everything else was gone and not able to be imported.

Stormy Isobel

You should be able to import the content scripts again, that functionality shouldn't change. But apologies, I'm not sure I follow what you tried to do exactly. What do you mean with "it wasn't there"? Could you not find the content scripts perhaps? The easiest way to look for the content script that you want to use is to go to the wiki pages of the /r/mpmb subreddit. Although downloading a fresh sheet might be easier at this point, as you wanted a resettled version anyway.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Does it not allow you to re import than? I tried to re import the content and it wasn't there.l to do so 😕

Stormy Isobel

The reset button should have a checkmark if you want to delete all imported content as well. And it should say that it is non-reversible. That it does what it says is not a bug. Unless you can confirm for me which version number you are using and that you didn't get a pop-up dialog with this option and explanation.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Specifically, I was using the printer friendly edition, non beta

Stormy Isobel

So we discovered the issue. There seems to be a bug that causes all non-primary source material to be wiped if you use the clear-sheet button to make a new character. It's un reversable.

Stormy Isobel

The artificer is definitely included. Just make sure you have the source for the class (E:RLW) set to be included. If you are looking for the changes to the class brought on with the release of Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, try the beta version, it has a fully updated artificer class: https://www.patreon.com/posts/mpmbs-beta-get-19406992 This is of course assuming that you are using the latest version that is available in this download post, older versions of the sheet might indeed be missing the artificer.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Hey, is the Articifer not included yet? I tried to generate it but its not there

Stormy Isobel

Hi William, that is unfortunate to hear and understandably frustrating. Might I ask which file you downloaded exactly and from where (this post probably)? If you downloaded it from this post, did you extract the file using 7-Zip (or a similar program that can handle 7-Zip files with the .7z extension)? You can also download a normal zip file (with the .zip extension) through my website here: https://www.flapkan.com/patrons Unfortunately, the zip files are too large to put in a Patreon post. Also, they can take longer to download and can time-out on my website. You might have to try several times to download them if it is a busy moment. The best solution is to install 7-Zip from here: https://www.7-zip.org/ so that you can open 7-zip files. If I'm mistaking, and you already extracted the archive using 7-zip and are still getting errors opening a PDF within, would you mind sharing which PDF file you are trying to open exactly?

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I'm having difficulty opening the spell sheets. When I try to open it with Adobe I get the following warning: "...it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged."

As the magic items for TCoE have not yet been transcribed for use with the sheets, you can only do what you want manually. You can add a spell attack/save bonus on the spell sheet pages using the modifier fields. These fields are hidden by default, but you can toggle their visibility with the Functions >> Modifiers bookmark. However, there is an ongoing community catchup effort on the MPMB Discord server where some (most) magic items have been transcribed to varying degree of success. You can always check that out. https://discord.gg/Qjq9Z5Q

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Trying to figure out - is there a way to add the spell attack/save bonus from an Arcane Grimoire without manually adding it to each spell?

Shawn Spencer

Unfortunately not, see the FAQ https://www.flapkan.com/faq#mobile-support

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Is there an iPad or tablet friendly version?

Tasha's is still work in progress, as you can read in my most recent post ( https://www.patreon.com/posts/50681715 ). To see the work in progress, check out the latest beta version available ( https://www.patreon.com/posts/mpmbs-beta-get-19406992 ). I will post new (beta) versions as I get new content finished. When that will be exactly is hard to say, because I'm going as fast as I can. I hope to have the most important things (i.e. subclasses, feats, races, and spells) done before the end of the month.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

When will you be adding Tasha's?

Mythic Odysseys of Theros is among those that I will work on these next couple of Months (see my recent Patreon post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/47827520 ). However, most of the content has already been done in the fan-led content catchup on Discord, albeit with some minor mistakes. Thus, I suggest checking out the MPMB Discord server: https://discord.gg/Qjq9Z5Q

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I'm unable to find Leonin Race?

Unearthed Arcana is of lower priority than catching up with the missed official content. I suggest looking in the fan forums like the MPMB Discord server for scripts to import the UA content.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

guessing some of the UA is unavailable, was trying to make a warlock with the undead UA for an evil campaign

They look almost identical, but there are subtle differences. The Printer Friendly – Redesign version is identical in lay-out to the Printer Friendly version, but uses graphical elements designed by MPMB instead of those taken from the official character sheet by Wizards of the Coast. The dragon heads used for the Redesign version are taken from 5th Ed. Complete Character Sheet by Bruno Mendonça (front page) and the character sheet by /tg’s /5eg (player reference page). See also the FAQ about this exact question: https://www.flapkan.com/faq#different-designs If you are looking at them side by side you should be able to spot the differences in designs of at least the dragon head at the top left on the first page. Or perhaps you didn't play the "find the five differences" often enough when you were a child ;)

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I'm going to ask something that is probably dumb. What is the difference between the printer friendly sheet and the printer friendly - redesign sheet. I have them side by side and can't tell a difference.

Laughing Man

EGtW is among those that I will work on this Month (see my most recent Patreon post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/47827520 ). However, most of the content has already been done in the fan-led content catchup on Discord, albeit with some minor mistakes. Thus, I suggest checking out the MPMB Discord server: https://discord.gg/Qjq9Z5Q

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Unearthed Arcana has less priority than the official publications. After those are done, UA will gets it turn. But there is no ETA for it. However, most of the UA has been done in the fan-led content catchup on Discord as well. Thus, I suggest checking out the MPMB Discord server: https://discord.gg/Qjq9Z5Q

Hey chap, great work! Any news on Subclasses part 4?

I must say i'm really enjoying your character sheets but i am wondering when you think Explorers Guide to Wildmount will be added to the rotation or how i can add it in the sources list to use it.

Kay Feij

A feature request for landscape layout has been made on Discord (MFR-20). You can vote on it there if you link Discord with your Patreon account. See here for more information about the voting: https://www.patreon.com/posts/33362548

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Is there any chance of getting the sheet in a landscape layout?

Just to chime in, happened the same to me. After accepting and waiting, I had to un-accept and re-accept to the see the rest of the channels.

Giuseppe Zerilli

Adobe Acrobat DC (Reader, Standard, or Pro) is indeed the only software that these PDFs work with. The reason for the sheet only working in Adobe Acrobat on Windows or macOS is that it leverages the Acrobat JavaScript API for its automation and no other software supports it. What kind of issue are you experiencing?

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Is Adobe Acrobat Reader DC the only PDF program that the sheets will work with? I have a Mac and Adobe doesn't seem to work very well anymore. I've been a Patron for 3 + years and haven't had a problem until now. Just wondering if there are any other options?

@Matthew Cochran. I just finished a script for the Kobold Press Southlands Heroes Tosculi (Hiveless) playable race, which is my first script to date. It inlcudes the variant ranger and druid classes and their assocaited creatures as well. It turned out pretty well, I think. Would love someone to playtest it for me if you're interested.

You can find more space for magic items on the Overflow page. That page is hidden by default. Click the "Overflow" bookmark to make the page visible.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

AL allows for more Magic Items than 5. any thought of adding more magic item slots?

Strange that you had to go through that. Happy to hear you got it to work. It is still on my to-do list to update the Discord server to use the native Discord rules option (which was introduced a month ago). That should help prevent these kind of issues.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Weirdly enough, I’d accepted them ages ago and I had to unaccept them and then reaccept to get it to work.

Alek Brusgul

You should be able to see the #welcome channel as well. Please read the rules in that channel and click you agree with them. Only then will you be able to see the rest of the channels.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

So I'm not seeing any channels on the discord except for the voting one. Did I do something wrong?

Alek Brusgul

Apologies, was not aware TCoE wasn't adapted yet. (my campaign has been on hold so updating sheets was unnecessary).

Completely understand, and look forward to this and other stuff being added.

Kyle O'Brien

I'm pretty sure that that is a new optional feature that TCoE introduces. And as TCoE is not yet included in the sheets you can download here, this point seems mute. You can expect this to be an option once TCoE has been adapted for use with the sheet.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Hi. Mass Healing Word is in fact in the Bard's spell list as of TCoE

There is no known ETA at the moment. Check the MPMB Discord server to see how the community-led efforts are coming along.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Is there an ETA for when Tasha's Cauldron of Everything will be added to the MPMB sheets? I'm guessing it might be a while based on the new additions to the author's family which is fair enough but just wondering. Thank you :)

My bad, the website she was looking at had it wrong. Sorry!

Kyle O'Brien

That seems correct to me. According to the PHB, mass healing word is not a spell on the bard spell list, it is only on the cleric spell list.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I think the bard spell list is incomplete. Trying to level up a character and mass healing word isn't available from the drop down.

Kyle O'Brien

Thank you for responding. Another multi classing penalty besides losing high level class abilities.

Thomas John

You are not missing anything. Acrobat doesn't have any way to fix this issue, text that doesn't fit in a field will overflow and won't be visible. Copy-pasting it into another field like the Notes page is exactly what you best can do to remedy the problem. The classes are all optimized to fit up to level 20 without any overflow. But once you start multiclassing you will have this issue, unfortunately.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Maybe I am missing it, but when I build a character with multiple levels in 2 or more different classes, the class description scrolls off the printable character sheet. Short of copy and pasting the missing description to the Background or Notes page, is there any way to make this show up when I print the document?

Thomas John

You can find what you are looking for on the 3rd page of the colourful sheets.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Hello! If this option exists then my apologies for not seeing it, but if it doesn't, would an Exhaustion point tracker be possible?

Thomas Wells

Sadly it does not, thank you for the response though!

Including 3rd party materials in the base sheet is never going to happen. Non-WotC content will always be something you have to add as an import script. Then the question becomes if I'm going to be writing more 3rd party scripts (there are already a bunch on my GitHub). To get non-WotC content for the sheet that isn't yet available, you have four options: 1) Become a Sorcerer-tier (or higher) patron and I will make one addition for you each month (unfortunately, these are sold out at the moment) 2) Ask somebody else to write the content for you. Requests are best made over at the /r/mpmb subreddit ( https://reddit.com/r/mpmb ) 3) Pay /u/Smashman to write the content for you. He is currently taking paid requests ( https://redd.it/fgf3nn ) 4) Write the script yourself using the syntax on my GitHub ( https://flapkan.com/mpmb/syntax ) For help with writing your script, questions are best asked on the MPMB subreddit ( https://reddit.com/r/mpmb ) and the MPMB Discord Server ( https://discord.gg/Qjq9Z5Q ) This is not likely to change anytime soon.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

As long as there are no official rules for gestalt characters, this option won't be added to the default sheet. I did write a custom import script for gestalt characters a long time ago. I'm unsure if that script still works correctly in the latest version, but you can give it a try. You can find it in my GitHub Gists here: https://gist.github.com/morepurplemorebetter/3c64c19d371c1d3f4688a58441315404

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Any possible way that gestalt will be added to the character sheet as an option? Let me know if possible!

I can se there's plenty to keep up with from WOTC, and I previously saw that you weren't attempting to include 3rd party material. I was just wondering if that's likely to change in the future. Especially interested in Kobold Press material.

I agree with Collin, especially that a lot of Tasha's is already part of the UA materials already available.

Clint Schroeder

Hey! Happy to be a member, and waiting excitedly on options from Tasha's! :D

Please feel no need to rush content out during the holidays. I don't expect much before the new year.

Collin Griese

Hey MPMB, your work is amazing, thank you for the all the effort and time you have put into this amazing resource. I was wondering if you had any projected release dates for Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, Mythic Odysseys of Theros, One Grung Above, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything and Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron?

Good Work takes time, we can wait <3

DarkCurtis

thank you for all your hard work.

Paul Clark

If you visit reddit.com/r/mpmb/ - multiple users have shared their work on different part of Tasha' cauldron. You can probably find what you're looking for there while you're waiting. It will probably take a while, it's a big addition.

Mads Larsen

Work is being done, but progress is slow. First I'm still catching up with the rest of the missed content.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Are you working on adding content from Tasha's caldron?

Paul Clark

The sheet offers a way to create a character with sidekick classes, but not a way to create a sidekick on a companion page. This is because the companion pages don't have any automation for gaining levels, spellcasting, or any other type of incremental features. Instead, you can use a fresh character sheet to create a sidekick. That way they won't be in the same PDF, unfortunately, but you can still play it as a sidekick. To do this, make sure the source "Dungeons & Dragons Essentials Kit" is set to be included. Simply put, this is the steps you need to follow: 1) Open a freshly downloaded MPMB's Character Record Sheet v13.0.5 and open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2) Click "OK" for the welcome message. Now you will have the source selection dialog appear. In that dialog, move the topmost source in the left "Excluded from the automation" area to the right "Included in the automation" area. Do this by clicking on the source that reads "Dungeons & Dragons Essentials Kit [sidekick classes] (DnDEK)", followed by a click on the ">" button. Once it is listed in the right area, click "Apply" at the bottom of the dialog. 3) Now click on the bookmark Functions >> Class Selection. This will open a dialog to select the character's classes. In the "Class" dropdown box you should now see the sidekick classes listed. Select one of those (only one, multiclassing is not supported for sidekicks), set the level, select the Subclass / Archetype (if any), and click "Apply". 4) The sheet will now set the default stats, class features, proficiencies, attacks, etc. that are associated with the sidekick class. 5) If you are creating a spellcasting sidekick, don't forget to generate a spell sheet. The default spell selection should be filled out automatically.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I was looking for the Sidekick class. I couldn't find them.

No worries, rather have too many people report a bug than too few!

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Ok, thank you for the quick reply and just wanted to make sure you were aware of it.

Thank you for reporting this bug. It is a known bug and I have a fix ready to implement. So you can expect this to be fixed in the next version! In the meantime, you can still search for a spell in a drop-down box in the column. You just can't move them from the lookup area to a column with the "Add to selection" button. You can also still copy-paste the spell from the lookup to the right column.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Spell Lookup will not add to the spell list, So when I look up the spell and try to add it gives me an Error message that says that there is no space for the spell to go. even when the spell list is empty

Thanks for the latest update, love your work! As a forever-DM who likes making character concepts, this makes the whole process of character creation so much easier. :)

For content that I haven't yet transcribed you will have to look elsewhere or create it yourself. There is a community effort ongoing on Discord to create all the missing content, you might want to check that out.

Hi. Is there a way to add subclass features from UA that you don't have yet? Specifically the arcane tradition of Scribe for the wizard.

Loehn

Hi, thx for replying 🙂 i am using V13 for about 2 weeks now and so far all is good. Bladesinger is kicking @ss and no bugs with the sheet so far, going to be making an oath breaker Paly and some sort of warlock in the coming weeks. Thx for everything and keep up the great work🙂👍

Hello Hani, development of the sheet is continuing with the v13 betas, which you can get here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/mpmbs-beta-get-19406992 Bugs with v12.999 are no longer being fixed, as v13 introduces some big changes to how the sheet works. Can you please try the latest beta and see if you still have issues with the Bladesinger? If so, please report back what you encountered and I will certainly look into it.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Hello, I have encoutered an issue with verison 12.999 when trying to use the bladesinger subclass, leveling up the caracter doesn't seem to work right. did anyone encounter any issues?

I appreciate it, some what new to all this. Thanks again

When the complete spell sheets were made, the character sheets did not yet include all the spells. The easiest way to get a complete spell sheet with all the spells from all WotC sources is to download the v13 beta (found here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/mpmbs-beta-get-19406992) and click the bookmark "Spell Options". That will open up a menu with the option to "Make a 'Complete' Spell Sheet". That will generate what you want. You can even generate one with all the spells the alphabetical order. After you generate the spell sheet, you can remove all the pages you don't want to use, using the "Set Pages Layout" bookmark.

hey guys im searching for the full spell list which includes Xanathars guide to everything. any help??

In short: there is not. In long, I'll quote the FAQ: > 1.3 Can I use the sheets on a mobile device (Android, iOS)? MPMB’s Character Sheets only work with Adobe Acrobat DC (Reader, Standard, or Pro) on a PC that runs Windows or Mac OS X. Adobe Acrobat for mobile devices such as Android, iOS, or Windows Phone is not supported, nor is Adobe Acrobat installed through the Windows Store or Adobe Acrobat run in a browser. The reason for the sheet only working in Adobe Acrobat on Windows or Mac OS X is that it is the only software that fully supports the full JavaScript API that the sheets require to run their automations. The “Flatten” button/bookmark is intended as a solution for tablet 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 (or other mobile device). Now you can only edit the fields needed during play and all functions that can’t work on your tablet are hidden. After you are done with play, transfer your sheet back to your PC, open it with Adobe Acrobat, and press “Flatten”. Now you have a sheet that can be edited fully again.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Is there a way to make the beta sheets compatible on tablets?

Great to hear you got it working!

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Thank you I was able to unpack it using a different program.

I'm sorry to hear that. I have no experience with unpacking 7zip archives on a Mac and I don't own any Mac OS machines to test it on for you. Perhaps you can try another archiving program, or look if searching on the error message gives you any helpful results. I'm happy to look online for help with your issue if you can provide the exact text of the error message. Also, sometimes a download is corrupted. You can try downloading the archive again to see if that changes anything.

Miggy1021

Thank you for reporting any issues you find with the betas. This would probably be better as a comment on one of the beta posts, as yours doesn't include which version of the sheet you are using. Luckily, the Rune Knight doesn't appear in so may versions, so it was easy to narrow it down. I'll make sure this issue is fixed in the next version. This bug seems to have come about with the changes made for the Class Feature Variants Unearthed Arcana article.

You can find a script for adding the pugilist on the /r/mpmb subreddit, written by a fan: https://redd.it/acv2fq/ I didn't write the script, only helped with getting some of the bugs out in an earlier stage. If you find anything wrong with the script, please ask the author over on reddit.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Can someone help me with a Pugilist code? I tried writing it and not working as I barely understand and bought these sheets on DM's Guild and was hoping much more updated version would have them (unless I am blind as well as dumb) The code I write gives a syntax error. Id donate the $20 but just had a baby and poor. I have always loved and preferred these sheets

The sheet uses AcroJS to run the automations. Only Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (or Pro/Standard) supports the full AcroJS API. Unless you can convince the people behind Foxit Reader to implement the API, you will have to use Adobe Acrobat to use this character sheet's automation. You can always install Adobe Acrobat (in a sandbox) and only use it for this PDF. Unfortunately, I can't force other software developers to use an API.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I just tried the 12.999 character sheets in Foxit Reader and keep getting a notice to use Adobe, which I will never fucking do. So how do I remove the damn critical 1 error? Adobe makes the most buggy insecure programs, so no way in hell will I install it. Also get the error in the latest beta.

No worries. That is what I figured. Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately, the sheet doesn't support making a choice in which skill proficiency you gain when there is a choice. That is why in v13 it is listed in the pop-up of changes. The mechanic of adding a die to the skill roll is also something that the sheet can't accommodate, because it is a very unique feature and the sheet doesn't have any way of displaying notes for a specific skill. Instead, it is written in the racial traits section. There will unfortunately always be limitations on a project like this character sheet when there are specific rules for a single race/class/feat/etc. that would require special automation that no other thing requires. It is simply not possible to make something that perfectly fits everything, but I try to make it fit everything as well as possible.

So I was hoping I could select which skill/tool then have it show up next to the number modifier on the first page/summary page. If I hover over the skill section, it does list the Vedalken at the bottom. I am using option (3). Basically I was hoping for that it could be visible on the sheet next to the skills without having to just write it in by hand.

It should be listed with the rest of the skill choices in the tooltip of the skill section, just like those skills gained from a class. Is it not for you? Which version of the Vedalken are you using, because there are three: (1) Plane Shift: Kaladesh, (2) Unearthed Arcana: Races of Ravnica, and (3) Guildmasters' Guide to Ravnica. Only the latter 2 get Tireless Precision.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Hi, Does anybody know how I can get the vedalken tireless precision to show up on the skill section?

Hi Nathan, Your comment got a bit snowed under in my inbox and I must have accidentally marked it as read, resulting in my forgetting about it completely. So I hope you accept my apologies for the late reply. I don't play AL and I wasn't aware that the faction rank system had changed, thank you for letting me know. I plan to update the sheet to the new AL system of XP and treasury once v13 is done (so for v13.1 or something like that). I'll make sure to also include the faction rank changes then! As for the image not being removed when you change faction, that is intentional. The image will only be set if you change to a faction that also has an image available and otherwise the image will just stay active. The reason for this is that you can more easily use the image in your homewbrew campaign with another name for the faction. Cheers, Joost (morepurplemorebetter)

Thx

I don't think anybody has ever made a comprehensive character builder for 3rd edition. At least I never found any (nor do I intend to create any). Probably because that edition is crazy when it comes to character options and when it came out 20 years ago, it wasn't so common for the community to build tools and share it online.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Hi , Does anyone know where I can Find a 3rd edition Character sheet that is just as good as this one? My Dm want's to go Retro for a change.

I noticed in 13 b17 the Renown is out of date for Adventurers League. In S8 you do not need to be in a Faction to have Renown, and the Faction-specific Ranking levels have been removed. They were replaced with a generic form found in the AL PG: https://ibb.co/Yb3ZWWz Also, I temporarily added Emerald Enclave as my faction to see what the Ranks dropdown was for, and when I set it back to Empty, the picture didn't get cleared. I removed it manually, but was that intended?

As voted upon in the poll back in July ( <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/v13-prioritise-20407399">https://www.patreon.com/posts/v13-prioritise-20407399</a> ), the season 8 AL advancement system will be implemented after the magic items. Magic Items are planned for v13 and the AL advancement system will come after that (so probably v13.1 or v13.2, I have learned to not set hard version numbers for features).

MorePurpleMoreBetter

When will the DDAL season 8 be updated to the 12.9999 or Beta 13?

Jimmy Cunningham

No worries, thank you for reporting it anyway. Better a false alarm too many than some major bug going unnoticed!

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Oddly, I cannot reproduce it with a cleanly installed 13-11 sheet anymore. I guess it was just one of those strange "Whoops" moments that happens. Guess there's no bug after all, just some strange, random thing that just went "NOPE!" Sorry about the false alarm, though I do wonder why it happened, but only once. I don't know enough about PDFs or Java to look at the source code and go "Oh yeah, it's this bit."

You can expect it with the new beta. When that is exactly I don't know, probably some time next week. The new UA Artificer will unfortunately never come to v12.999 because of its different spell slot progression. I will have to change some functions of the sheet to accommodate it.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Thank you very much for following up on this, it is much appreciated! Unfortunately, I'm unable to reproduce it. Can you consistently get the sheet to do this by opening a fresh sheet, setting the class to Barbarian level 1 and then setting the race to Lizardfolk? Your issue, especially the To Hit and Damage of an attack being empty, sounds a lot like Acrobat is not refreshing the page correctly. Often just changing something in a field, any field a checkbox for example, and then clicking out of it will cause everything to refresh. Can you also reproduce this with the latest beta, v13.0.0beta11? I'm asking because beta8 had some issues with the Unarmoured Defence AC calculations and those have been fixed in the newer beta, so perhaps that is what was causing the problem in beta8.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Well, all I did was take a fresh copy of the sheet (Specifically the Printer Friendly version if that's important) and I set the class to Barbarian (Level 1). Everything for Barb showed up fine, so I set the race to Lizardfolk... and I got the aforementioned issues. Edit: If I select the Lizardfolk race before I specify a class, it works as anticipated, with the AC and Unarmed Strike calculations being done as intended. Something about picking the class first seems to have confused it.

Hey MPMB when can we expect the new Artificer added to the sheet? I actually have a player that wants to switch and we all agree your sheet is the best.

Tyler Daughtry

Thank you for reporting any issues you find with the betas! I have tried the Lizardfolk with both the beta8 and the latest beta (v13.0.0beta11) and I see no issues. Can you please tell me how to get the sheet to do this, starting with a freshly downloaded beta?

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Hey, I don't know where else to put this, so it's going here for now. I found a problem with your sheet (v13.0.0beta8). When I set the race to Lizardfolk, suddenly Unarmed Strike's entry for damage and To Hit go blank, and the Natural Armor selection sets my base AC to 12 instead of 13

Yes there is! After a lot of trial and error I found a way to speed it up. This fix is implemented in the Beta versions which you can find over here: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/mpmbs-beta-get-19406992">https://www.patreon.com/posts/mpmbs-beta-get-19406992</a>

The B and Pg column headers stand for "Book" and "Page number". You can read more about the abbreviations used on the spell sheets in the glossary. You can have this glossary included in the auto spell sheet generation if you check the box for it in the last dialog or you can manually add it using the button in front of each line on the spell sheet pages.

Thank you for reporting any issues you find with the sheets. Unfortunately, the issue that you are describing is not one with my PDFs, but with how Adobe Acrobat works. This is a known bug, but they refuse to fix it (no priority).

Not sure where to post a possible bug for the 12.999 Printer Friendly redesign, so I'll drop it here. When adding weapons to the Attack section, say I type in "Whip" and I see the search narrows down to the Whip option; I click Whip and processing starts but then War Hammer is the weapon that's inserted. Probably a minor typo. Let me know where to log the bug and I'll delete this comment. Thanks for the amazing work!

Sean Wickett

If you are referring to the Firearms from the DMG, than you should know they have been part of the sheet for years. They are just excluded by default as to not clutter up the attack section with an optional rule. To include them, go to the "Sources" dialog and make sure you have the DMG source included. Then, in the "Sources" dialog, click on "Weapons/Attacks" and set the Firearms to be included. This is also explained in the FAQ included in the PDF.

Hello Richard, Adding custom content to the script is done by transcribing that content into the appropriate JavaScript syntax. You can find the syntax here: <a href="http://flapkan.com/mpmb/syntax" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://flapkan.com/mpmb/syntax</a> Using the syntax is little more than replacing the text you want to have with the text that is already there. You don't need to know how to program things to use it. But if that is too confusing for you, you will have to first get acquainted with the basics of JavaScript (i.e. "what is a string?", "what is an array?", and "what is a JSON object?"). For help with issues with your script, I can recommend posting it to the /r/mpmb subreddit as that community is good at helping people with errors in their scripts. They also offer more instructions on how to write the scripts and have tons of examples. Of course, you are also welcome to ask me specific questions about how to transcribe things, but the community will more likely be faster with a response. Lastly, if you want me to transcribe it for you, you are welcome to join one of the higher tiers here on my Patreon. Cheers, Joost (morepurplemorebetter)

Hello, I really love your sheet, although I am quite new to d&d = ) I was wondering if you could help me by telling me how I could add the moon domain to the cleric. I took a look at the github code for adding stuff but I am not familiar with this kind of code so I have no clue at the moment. looking forward to your answer = )

Agreed, it is a niche case and there is an easy workaround. I only stumbled upon it because I was making a 'mock' minimal info character to confirm that a different calculation was performed the way that I thought. If there is currently not an easy capability to have a 'logical test' for this condition it is not worth spending much time on. At most, it might warrant a note in a tooltip or FAQ. Thanks for the great sheet

The way the modifiers are added to Initiative (or skills or saves) is by adding the referenced ability score to the 'modifier' field. As such, you can easily change it manually if you don't want to use it. That being said, the sheet doesn't offer a way to first check if the added ability score has a positive or negative modifier. it can either add it to the modifier field or not. I don't think that this feature (to check if negative or not) is really a big miss as it is only for very niche cases.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

On Version 13.0beta6 (didn't check earlier versions): The initiative bonus calculation should probably be changed for Gloom Stalker Rangers and War Mage Wizards. For these two sub-classes, their abilities (Dread Ambusher/Tactical Wit) specify that they CAN give themselves a bonus to initiative based upon their Wis/Int. If this bonus is negative, then it should not be added. Admittedly, these are unlikely conditions (especially the low Int Wizard).

It will be added eventually

I love this sheet and can't recommend it enough. Out of curiosity, are you still looking at implementing the new advancement changes for Adventurers League (tracking Advancement and Treasure Checkpoints)? I imagine it may be complicated given many folks will have characters that have the old progression method for X logsheets and then need to switch to the new method going forward, but just wanted to know where that feature stood at this time. Thanks!

Of course! The rules for expertise are found in the Rogue and Bard class feature descriptions. Both classes get a feature with the same name that does the same (double proficiency bonus on a skill/tool), but the classes get it at different levels with different frequencies. I don't have a PHB handy right now, but you can also find it in the SRD (page 13 & 39)/ Link to SRD (System Reference Document): <a href="http://media.wizards.com/2016/downloads/DND/SRD-OGL_V5.1.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://media.wizards.com/2016/downloads/DND/SRD-OGL_V5.1.pdf</a> For an easy way to search for D&D 5e rules, I can recommend this website: <a href="https://5etools.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://5etools.com/</a>

Great to hear you like the sheets! "Exp" stands for "Expertise". If you check that "Prof" (Proficiency) box as well as the "Exp" checkbox, the proficiency bonus is doubled for the skill.

Miccal McMullan

There is no way to select the equipment gained from class using the sheet's automation because, unlike the equipment gained from the background, you need to choose from the options. To make this manual process a bit easier, the class equipment is part of the tooltip (mouseover text) of the "Add Equipment" button. Just hover your cursor over that button and you will see the options for your class equipment.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Is there a way to pick from the equipment that comes with your class or do you have to pick it manually?

XGtE is part of the Character Record Sheets. Look in the Sources dialog for the source and make sure it is included. If you are referring to the Spell Sheets per Class, then yes, XGtE is missing as those are rather out of date. I will update them once v13 is finished.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I am very new to this, and I'm unsure if you added or intend to add Xanthar's Guide to Everything. I noticed Toll the Dead was missing for Wizard as a cantrip.

Thank you for reporting any issues you find with the sheet. What version of the sheet are you using (version number and type, e.g. Printer Friendly-Redesign v12.999)? Are you able to reproduce this issue, because I can't get the sheet to give a 1st level Bard 4 spell slots of 1st-level unless I manually edit the spell slots?

MorePurpleMoreBetter

First time I've played a Bard and I noticed the spell sheet may be incorrect. At first level, a bard can KNOW 4 spells, but only has 2 1st level spell SLOTS. The sheet seems to show 4 1st level spell SLOT or "pips". Is this correct? This applies to beta 13.4

Wandering Knight

Thank you for reporting any issues you find with the sheets! You are correct, it has the wrong spell school listed. This was incidentally also recently brought up on Reddit. Like a week ago, after it having had the wrong spell school for 3 years. Talk about coincidence! I have corrected the source code and it will be implemented in the next Beta as well as in the next soft-update to v12.999 on Patreon :)

Great to hear you got it working, and thank you for reporting back with a solution!

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Ah — Must be a Mac OS X thing — I'll look into it. Thanks for the quick reply! EDIT: For reference, if someone asks again — After some Googling, and trial and error dickering with the font caches in OS X, I solved it. The key seemed to be activating a font called STIXGeneral, located in my User Library Fonts folder. WHY this worked is certainly up for debate, as it seems to have nothing to do with regular system fonts, unicode fonts, or anything like that — But I certainly can't question the results.

The sheet uses unicode font and italic characters to make the pop-ups more readable, because there is otherwise no way of making text in them bold or italic. This uses your operating system's unicode font. So the issue is with the operating system. It might not have support for those characters or some other issue with its main font(s). I have had more people complaining about this when running Adobe Acrobat DC under Wine on a Linux machine. Unfortunately, nobody has come with a solution for it. If you are using another OS, then I'm not sure where the issue could be. It will all depend on your OS. I have tested the sheets on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 where they all display without issue.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

This may be a question you've answered elsewhere, but I'm getting a lot of question mark icons instead of text in the dialog pop-up boxes when filling out the sheet(s). Is there a particular font I'm missing on my system for this text to show up properly?

That's too bad... Anyway, thanks for the great work, the tool is excellent!

Marcelo Lapertosa

The checkboxes on the spell sheets are not your normal AcroForm checkboxes, they are 'buttons' that are set to a different image using document-level JavaScript. Because no mobile PDF reader app supports document-level JavaScript, you can't change those checkboxes, unfortunately. So this is not something that can be fixed without fundamentally changing how the spell sheets work, adding numerous new fields to the spell sheets, and, as a result, slowing down the spell sheet generation proces even more.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

When in Flatten mode I can't mark which spells are memorized on the Spellbook sheet on tablet/phone, just the spell slots spent, is it going to be fixed or is this something impossible due Flat mode?

Hi Dodd, I think the functionality you are looking for is found in the Color menu.

Love the Sheets! They look awesome! One quick question: Is there anyway to edit/change the color of the artwork base? The black and red are kind of heavy on my printer (use a lot of ink) and I would like to change it to dark blue with bright green highlights. Being able to use different colors will help me find my characters faster when in a stack of paper.

Thank you for reporting any issues you find with the sheet. The issue you are describing is fixed in the v13 beta.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Hey, love the sheets, great work. Just a heads up that for Warlocks the Eldritch Invocations tend to not persist in the selectable list ("choose feature" button) when you level up, so it makes changing them difficult in some cases (basically having to remove them manually and add new ones). Additionally, when you level to the point where you gain a new invocation you are never given the choice to add/remove an old one. You should get that choice at every level up, according to the rules. Again, not a big problem but just didn't know where else to point it out. Keep up the amazing work!

Unfortunately you can't use the automation of my sheets in any other program than Adobe Acrobat DC running on a Windows or Mac OS X machine. There are no apps on mobile devices (Android/iOS) that support the full JavaScript API that is required to run the automations in the sheets. You can still fill out the form-fillable fields, but there won't be any calculations or the like. The sheets offer a workaround for this in the form of the "Flatten" button/bookmark. The idea is that you set up your character on a Windows/Mac OS X machine using Adobe Acrobat DC. Once your character is ready for use during play, you click this "Flatten" button and the sheet will disable the use of any fields that influence the automation, while leaving the fields you use during regular play editable. You can now transfer this 'flattened' version to your mobile device and use it during a session. Then, after the session you can transfer it back to your Windows/Mac OS X device and click the "Flatten" button again to 'unflatten' it. Now you can continue editing all the fields and using all the automation in the sheets.

I have been displaying completed sheets on my IPAD in Adobe Acrobat Reader, but I cannot edit any of the boxes. Is there a setting I am missing or is this not available on Ipad?

Hi MPMB. Thanks for the reply. After uninstalling Reader DC with Revo Uninstaller Pro, using Adobe's cleaner, rebooting, reinstalling Reader DC, and opening a brand-new download of v12.999 pdf, I thought to check the document fonts used. I noticed Zapf Dingbats in the list, and remembered that I'd installed ITC Zap Dingbats a month ago. I uninstalled it, and that fixed the problem. Having that font installed overrode yours.

Brent

Hi Brent, Sorry to hear about your troubles. The fact that some things are being displayed incorrectly is most likely an error with your Acrobat installation. The checkmarks, bullet points, and crosses in checkboxes are displayed using a font. Perhaps some recent change to your machine changed this font or somehow corrupted it. For first I would recommend trying to do a fresh re-install of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. To do this clean install: 1) first uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader DC; 2) then run the Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool (found here: <a href="https://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html</a> ); 3) next reboot your machine; 4) install Adobe Acrobat Reader DC again ( <a href="https://get.adobe.com/reader" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://get.adobe.com/reader</a> ). Please let me know if this works to fix the issue. You might also try if you have the same issue with the PDF when you open it on another machine. If the issue persists, it might be a corrupted PDF, but my first guess is that is has to do something with your Acrobat installation.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

For some reason, the filled bubbles and check marks aren't showing on my Acrobat Reader DC all of a sudden, and when I print the sheet out, the bubbles and check marks are little scissors. Can you help me with this? Thanks!

Brent

You can add modifiers to any of the calculated values of the sheet, effectively changing the result. This include the weapon damage dice. You can do this with the Modifier fields. These Modifier fields are hidden by default and you can toggle their visibility with the "Mods" button in the 'JavaScript Window'-toolbar and with the "Modifiers" bookmark. For weapons, armour and shields you can also add a modifier by writing it as "+1" or "-5" into the name field for either. This will be added to both weapon damage and to hit for attacks, or to AC for armour/shields.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Is there a way do edit the Dice Damage with your weapons. My DM allows for "Superior" weapons. Which changes the dice.

The irony ofc is that mac is Freebsd based (Unix)

Tony

I am only developing in Adobe Acrobat and unfortunately Adobe has decided to no longer support anything but Windows and Mac. I'm sorry, but some very essential functions only work in Acrobat DC and I can't make them work in earlier versions of Acrobat that are still supported on Linux. I'm afraid you will have to take your request to Acrobat. Short of remaking the sheets completely as another application, I don't think they will ever be supported on Linux.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Will there be full support for Posix (Unix/Linux) in the future ? (using Wine+Adobe Reader DC doesn't work well)

I'm certain you don't want to have all the extra content out there loaded into the sheet by default. A lot of it breaks certain aspects of the default PHB content, for example ;) As for a folder with all the JavaScript additions that I have made.... That is exactly what you get when you join the Google Drive and/or Dropbox. I keep all the scripts for optional third-party materials in the shared folders so that they are easily accessible for patrons!

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Honestly, I'd be cool with it :P you can always disable sources in the sheet (or otherwise, just keep a separate folder with the extra JS files that you've done. You know, right after you clone yourself and teach your clones to javascript I mean ^_)^

No problem on the late response :) People have lives! (Hope the conference was good). Anyway, thank you for the tip. This should work beautifully - and my daughter should be happy.

Apologies for the late response, I was out of the country for a conference the whole last week. If you use the 'Create Ranger's Companion' option on a companion page, the sheet will use the ranger level for the companion. If there is no ranger level present (because you didn't take any levels in ranger), the sheet uses the total character level instead. Also, if you include the UA Revised Ranger (the source UA:RR) than the sheet will always use the rules from that for the Ranger's animal companion instead of the PHB rules. So by changing the source you can select which rules you will be suing for your not-really Ranger's Companion.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Thanks man! Keep up the good work!

Apologies for the late response, I was out of the country for a conference the whole last week. Having the option to add static modifiers to Wild Shapes is definitely on the wish list and something to look into after v13.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

So, I'm a new person here. What I'd like to do is make a circle of beasts for the druid, that incorporates some of the UA Revised Ranger into it (ie, Druid gets animal companion). Before I kill myself trying to create this, is this feasible, or is animal companion more hard-coded into Rangers? Thanks.

I don't recall if I ever asked this but is there any way you can put in a mod option for the Wild Shape page to notate that you have Insignia of Claws? Basically click and automatically add +1 to all attacks and notate them as magical?

This is not a small update to me. Thanks for all the work you and others put into this product.

I agree that DMs Guild is confusing, especially when they put up things under the WotC name. But the description of the One Grung Above on DMs Guild clearly says it is based on unofficial rules and that it is not a legal playable race for AL. That's why I don't consider it 'official WotC published content'.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

My bad. I thought that since the DM's guild publisher is Wizards of the Coast just like the Tortle Package and all the Adventures League packs that it was official, just not AL legal similar to all the UA races.

My intention is to only pre-load the official WotC materials and Unearthed Arcana articles to the sheet available here. Anything other than that you can add yourself using the import functions. The One Grung Above supplement is a DMs Guild product, not a WotC official publication. I don't think anybody wants all DMs Guild product to be pre-loaded in the sheet, making it slower and messier (there are already so many options!). You can find a good script version of the One Grung Above here: <a href="https://github.com/safety-orange/Imports-for-MPMB-s-Character-Sheet/blob/master/Homebrew/dmsguild_20171011_One-Grung-Above.js" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/safety-orange/Imports-for-MPMB-s-Character-Sheet/blob/master/Homebrew/dmsguild_20171011_One-Grung-Above.js</a>

Any ideas when the Grung race from the One Grung Above supplement will be added?

TheFandomGuy

i was wondering if you would be willing to incorperate the tattoo tools in to the sheet along with the inks and other things i have a PDF with them all in i could send to you so you can see what im talking about

thomas banthorpe

I know they're a pain but it's also been six months since that book was released. I mention this in a 'time flies and these have gotten way out of date' sense rather than a 'I want it done now, now, now' sense. Do what you have to do, just please don't forget about them.

Perfect! You're awesome.

A new iteration of the Complete Spell Sheets per Class is planned for v13. I found a way (with the help of a helpful person on GitHub) to greatly speed up the spell sheet generation process. it then won't take me more than a full day to update the Complete Spell Sheets per Class. Them taking so long to generate is the main reason that I have hold off on updating them. When the new ones will be ready, I can't say, sorry!

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Can we please get the Spell Sheets per Class updated to include the Xanathar's information? I know most people probably aren't using these, but they're the majority of the reason why I'm here. There's no way that I know of to generate the spell sheets now on linux, so I'm kind of stuck at this point.

I just finished adding MToF and the latest UA: Centaur and Minotaur. You can find the updated sheets attached above :)

MorePurpleMoreBetter

How about the updated Centaur and Minotaur from the most recent UA? Are those to be included in the next release?

Considering that there are no subclasses in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, never ;) I hope to be able transcribe the subraces from MToF sometime this week, though.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

This is indeed broken. A fix is ready for v13, but in v12.999 you can't get the subclass spells to show up in a 'complete' spell list. Sorry for the inconvenience!

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I know that you are hard at work with v13 however do you have an estimate on when the new subclasses from ToF will be added in to v12.999? Thought I'd ask before anyone else does. Thanks for your hard work!

Hey all, I'm trying to generate a full class list of spells that include subclass spells, but the latter isn't showing up. Anyone know if it's even possible to do? I used the printer friendly v12.999 on Windows 10 in Acrobat Reader, created a level 1 hexblade warlock and in the spell generation dialog box selected "Full class list (spells & cantrips)". Subclass spells like shield aren't showing up.

Robert Nguyen

The problem with subclass features being displayed incorrectly could be due to you selecting one and then switching to the other before the sheet finished loading, but this is very unlikely. What specific features are you getting that are incorrect? You can edit the font settings with the "Text Options" bookmark or the "Text" button in the 'JavaScript Window'-toolbar. Do note that if you change the font options, you probably want to hide all the lines for the multi-line fields, or things will become very hard to read.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Hi there - possible minor bug (or alternatively, dumb operator error ;-) I have a cleric in the light domain. It looks like the 12.999-PFR is including the class features for the light domain correctly. However, it also is including features that are specific to the life domain in the class features box -- adding the words "(light domain)" in parens at the end of the feature description -- seemingly incorrectly. I think I can just delete these out by hand, but I'm relatively new to 5e. Am I missing something? Is there a chance that I started the sheet in the life domain and switched during creation to light, and the sheet just added "light" features without deleting "life" features? I suppose now I need to test the theory by starting over. Anyhoo, great work on this. Makes life for my 10-yr old and I much easier going into this campaign. Minor feature request: scalable text boxes (for early levels when you don't have as much info to pack in there), larger font options. I'm sure that's easy, right? Heh...

If the arrows of the drop-down boxes are being printed, then you are probably not using Adobe Acrobat, because with that you shouldn't see those in a print-out. There is an option to print a truly empty sheet, which also doesn't include any of the calculated values and the like. To do that, open the sheet in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and click the 'Print' button/bookmark. In the dialog that opens, select the pages you want to print and check the box to 'Print a truly empty sheet to be filled manually'. As soon as you check that box, you will see the sheet change.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

is there a way to print a blank sheet to be filled out manually without the little drop-down arrow buttons?

The complete spell sheets per class consist of 15 PDFs each, that's why they are in a 7-zip archive. It requires software like 7-zip to unpack: <a href="https://www.7-zip.org/download.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.7-zip.org/download.html</a>

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I was going to download the spell list by class sheet but adobe doesn't recognize it as a valid file type. What should it be opened as? Thanks!

I thought that might be the case, though it seems strange that worgs and dire wolves are included but winter wolves are not. It's also the case that some campaigns don't stick to RAW when it comes to animal companions. I'll attempt to include it in the sheet myself.

Simply because no class feature of things that are included in the sheet uses the Winter Wolf.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I was wondering why the Winter Wolf was not included in the creature list?

Guess you have been doing it the opposite way of how I envisioned doing the logsheet ;) But to be fair, I never play Adventurers League (it doesn't really exist where I live).

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Wait... what? You mean this entire time I've been just doing it manually on the Logsheet page for everything and then changing the exp/renown manually in the main sheets?

Thank you for reporting any issues you find with the sheet. The problem with not being able to remove Eldritch Invocations is known and will be fixed in the next version of the sheet.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Linking those things is not as easy as it sounds and will not be something everybody wants, as that would mean making the Renown only editable on the Adventure Logsheets and uneditable on the background sheet. I will look into adding an option to toggle this. Currently, the sheets are set up with the idea that you edit the renown on your background sheet and then use the "Generate next Logsheet Entry" function. That function adds a logsheet entry based on the differences between what's on the sheet and what's in the last logsheet entry.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Can you have the Renown automatically update on the Background sheet based on the current Renown amount on the Adventurer's Log?

Hey, I've noticed on the sheet for my warlock that once I choose spells for my pact of the boon, or for a eldritch invocation, the spell sheet goes wonky. Commonly, there are two eldritch invocations where it they are now stuck in the code for that character no matter how many times I delete the spell sheet and update the feats to the correct eldritch invocation. I had to just make a whole new sheet after that. It doesn't take long to do that, I just figured I'd let you know. Thanks!

They are indeed!

Are the 2018-04-13 listed changes included in v12.999 in the download links?

Foxit Reader is where the issue lies. All of the PDFs I make use the extensive JavaScript support from Adobe Acrobat and will not work with any other software, unfortunately. Simply because no other program supports it. I'm sorry, but you will have to install Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, which you can get here for free: <a href="http://get.adobe.com/reader" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://get.adobe.com/reader</a>

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Complete Spell Sheet Per Class. In front of every spell. I use Foxit Reader.

What check boxes are you referring to, the one for the spell slots or the ones in front of every spell? What spell sheet are you referring to, one generated by the Character Record Sheet or one of the Complete Spell Sheets per Class? What program are you using to open the sheet? If it isn't Adobe Acrobat DC on a machine with Windows or Mac OS, you won't be able to use any of the functions of this sheet.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Hello! I can't seem to check the check boxes in the spell sheets? Am I missing something?

Changing the damage die, or influencing any calculated value on the sheet that you can't edit directly, is done with the Modifier fields. These Modifier fields are hidden by default and you can toggle their visibility with the "Mods" button in the 'JavaScript Window'-toolbar as well as with the "Modifiers" bookmark.

I edited my earlier comment with some more information. For some reason, Patreon does not let me delete this comment...

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I thought I already wrote a response to your earlier Tiefling question, but I can't see it. Maybe I'm misremembering, so I'll answer that one as question 3. 1. Adobe Acrobat on Mac OS X version 10.9.5 > To use all functions of the sheet, you will have to use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. That is unfortunately only available for Mac OS X 10.10 and later. You can still use the sheet with an earlier version of Adobe Acrobat, but you won't be able to use all functions (like the source selection dialog, or excluding spellcastingList entities from appearing on the generated spell sheets). 2. Race selection does not update Ability Scores > You are correct, the ability scores are not automatically changed when selecting a race. Instead the racial stat adjustments are added to the Ability Scores dialog. You can open this dialog with the bookmark by the same name and the 'Scores' button in the 'JavaScript Window'-toolbar. 3. Changing Tiefling abilities (homebrew race) > You can manually change anything that's in the form-fillable fields. For example, if you want to change the damage resistance from Fire to Lightning, just change that on the first page. For something like that you don't need to do anything fancy. If you want to change something else, like changing the levels at which the Tiefling gains its spells, you will have to write a custom JavaScript import for it (see 'Add Extra Materials' bookmark). It is easier than it sounds. You just have to copy the code for the Tiefling from my GitHub, put it in the right syntax (make it into a stand-alone object), and then make your changes before importing the code. I'm happy to help of you run into any issues. As are the people over at the /r/mpmb subreddit ( <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/mpmb/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.reddit.com/r/mpmb/</a> ). GitHub Tiefling code: <a href="https://github.com/morepurplemorebetter/MPMBs-Character-Record-Sheet/blob/master/_variables/ListsRaces.js" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/morepurplemorebetter/MPMBs-Character-Record-Sheet/blob/master/_variables/ListsRaces.js</a>#L233-L292 Syntax for adding a race: <a href="https://github.com/morepurplemorebetter/MPMBs-Character-Record-Sheet/blob/master/additional%20content%20syntax/Homebrew%20Syntax%20-%20RaceList.js" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/morepurplemorebetter/MPMBs-Character-Record-Sheet/blob/master/additional%20content%20syntax/Homebrew%20Syntax%20-%20RaceList.js</a> Note that all you have to do is copy the highlighted code from the first link and change the first line "tiefling" : { to RaceList["tiefling"] = { And then you have something you can use to import.

2 other quick items (1 may actually answer the 2cd): 1. I am on a Mac with OS X version 10.9.5 and updated Adobe Acrobat Reader as far as Adobe will let me. But I keep getting a message saying to effect that my reader is out of date and may not be supported for the character sheet. Is this correct? Do I need to update my OS as well? 2. As I said I am playing a Tiefling but when I select that at Race I notice it did not update my Ability Stats with racial adj. Do I need to manually do this or is there a problem? Thank you for any help.

Is there a way to change to damage dice being rolled? I tried just typing in a new type of attack, but I am unable to write in the 'grey' text fields. Any help would be grateful!

I just started exploring your sheets but I have a question. I am using a homebrew version for the Tiefling Race. I need to swap out some of the racial abilities for new ones. What is the best way to go about this? Thx!

There is no automation for the Epic Boons from the Dungeon Masters Guide. If you want to use those, you will have to write it in manually.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Is there any way to add in the Epic Boons from the DMG? I know it is optional but still nice :)

I wish I had any idea when it will be finished...

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Thank you, any idea when v13 will be released?

The Complete Spell Sheets per Class have indeed not been updated with the XGtE content. It is on my to-do list for v13. Note that you can always generate a complete class spell list using the character record sheet.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I downloaded the spell sheet by class the other day and looked it over; it seemed to have every spell on it, but I was looking over it again tonight and Xanathars spells seem to be missing now and I don't see an option to add XG by source. I'd swear I saw Chaos Bolt before as an example but now it's missing, is there a way for me to add XG back as a source if it's not showing up in the sources list?

thank you for the prompt reply.

The problem with the Theurgy is in the RunFunctionAtEnd() function, which is broken in v12.999 of the sheet. The code has since been fixed (which is available on GitHub), so the next version of the sheet won't have this issue. This does mean that you can't use the Theurgy in v12.999 of the sheet, unfortunately, and there is no fix for that.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

The UA Theurgist arcane tradition is not an option in the drop down for the wizard class. I am using version 12.999. I have all of the UA content enabled.

Quick reply. Thanks. I deleted and re-downloaded the pdf. All seems to be working now. Maybe the first one was corrupted in transit or something. I should have "turned it off and on again" via the delete/-re-download before bothering you. Mea Culpa. I did mean option 2 by "choose to just generate the entire spell list". Also, I did download in April. I am a time traveler. I'd tell you about the crippling bug in v13.02, but then the A.I.s will come to power so much sooner. Sorry. But I did like the change to Kavascript. So much more cleaner. ;> (Yes, American date system. sorry for the confusion).

If you select to show only prepared spells, you will get a pop-up with drop-down boxes that only show the spells you selected to be in your spellbook. So if you didn't select anything to be in your spellbook, those drop-down boxes will be empty. What option do you refer to when you say "choose to just generate the entire spell list", the option (1) "All spellbook spells regardless of level" or (2) "Full class list (spells & cantrips)"? If the former (1), then the sheet will put all spells on the spell sheet that you selected to be in your spellbook. So again, if you didn't select anything to be in your spellbook, the sheet won't put anything on the spell sheet. If you selected option (2), than it is indeed very strange that you don't get any spells. If that is the case, could you please send me the PDF and I'll have a look. Another thing that might be going on is that you perhaps set some sources or spells to be excluded? P.S. I first thought you meant downloaded in April, but I guess you write dates in the American way :P

MorePurpleMoreBetter

When I attempt to generate a spell sheet using wizard spells, if I choose to show prepared spells only, the dialog box on the relevant selection page does not show any wizard spells. If I choose to just generate the entire spell list, all the spell sections are empty. This does not affect cantrips. Help! I am using v12.999 downloaded late 03-04-2018

None of the class' starting equipment is added with automation and the quiver and arrows are no exception. I don't know what you mean with "the automated options for adding the starting equipment". Maybe you are confusing it with the background starting equipment? If a background would offer quiver and arrows, it will be added automatically. Or perhaps you are confusing it with the option to take the stuff from the first page attack and ammunition section and add it to the equipment section? Because the first page doesn't list the existence of a quiver, the automation wouldn't just 'invent' it.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Per the rules on the PHB you're supposed to select two Personality Traits, so that's why the sheet doesn't delete previous selections when you select multiple. You can manually edit the fields, you don't need to reset all of them if you just want to delete text from one of them.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Just noticed something, I'm rolling up a High Elf Rogue with the Urchin background, and I was in the area where you choose your personality train/ideal/bond/flaw. If I chose a Personality Train, then changed my mind and chose a different one, it acted as if I selected both. Both were written into the box, and both had a checkmark. For the ideal, bond, and flaw choosing a new one completely overruled the previous selection. Only the new one was written in the box, and only the new one had a checkmark. Is this intended behavior, or a bug? Resetting the four fields did work as expected.

Patrick Egan

Something I've wondered about for a while with this sheet, but it was such a minor thing I didn't bother to ask about it. When choosing a character's starting equipment, if there's a bow & arrow option it's always the bow "and a quiver with 20 arrows" or some such, but the automated options for adding the starting equipment don't have a way to add the quiver, just the bow & arrows. I assume it's because quivers and bolt cases aren't a part of the weapons & ammo section?

Patrick Egan

I can attest that the horsepower in your computer can make a BIG difference in how long it takes to generate a spell sheet. On an 5 year old laptop with 8GB of ram it took a very long time, but on my desktop with a much newer cpu and 32GB it goes a lot quicker. Closing any other programs and other PDF's you might have open does help.

Patrick Egan

The spell sheet generation time should not be effected by how much you imported. You can always try and see if it makes a difference, but it is hard to know if it isn't some other factor. In my experience, the thing that affects the generation time the most is the amount of other PDFs you have opened with Acrobat at the same time. Making sure you close Acrobat and only opening the single PDF you want to edit makes all the difference on my machine. Having other RAM or CPU intensive programs running at the same time will also affect the performance.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Would it speed it up to take out the content scripts that you aren't using? It really took a jump in the time it takes since Xanathar's was added

Valentine

No videos that I know of. The way to do it is to (1) go to the import menu with either the Import button in the 'JavaScript Window'-toolbar or the Import/Export bookmark. (2) In that menu select "Import character from another MPMB's sheet" (actual wording may differ, am writing this from memory). This opens a dialogue where you have instructions on what to do next. Easiest option is to run from console.

There is a function for that in the sheet :) You first select the race for the companion using the drop-down box. Once everything for the race is filled out, press the 'Companion Options' button on that page and select 'Change Companion into'. That way you can apply any of the options to it, from find familiar to ranger's companion.

Would it be possible to get an "other" under the Find Steed option for the Companion page? (keeps aspects related to find steed but allows for filling in the beast-specific stats/info) Had some issues wedging in my dino-steed in my Chult campaign.... :)

It could be a number of things. What version of Adobe Acrobat Pro are you using? An updated version DC? Do you have JavaScript turned on? Did you get a welcome pop-up the first time you opened the sheet (or when you download a fresh one and open that)? Did you perhaps open the sheet with Preview first before opening it with Adobe Acrobat (this breaks the sheet permanently)?

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I'm not sure what's happening with my sheet. I opened it in Adobe Acrobat Pro on my Mac and am filling as much out as possible, but it will not calculate the modifiers. ! Is there an instruction sheet?

Thanks again, I have much to learn.

I'm not sure what you mean with "do I simply replace the wording", but the idea is that you replace the stuff in the syntax with your own things and remove the parts you don't need. Read the comments (everything after //) carefully, as they explain what each of the JSON object's attribute does. You can see a couple of examples in my GitHub additional content folder: <a href="https://github.com/morepurplemorebetter/MPMBs-Character-Record-Sheet/tree/master/additional%20content" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/morepurplemorebetter/MPMBs-Character-Record-Sheet/tree/master/additional%20content</a> And there are a lot more examples to be found on the /r/mpmb subreddit: <a href="https://reddit.com/r/mpmb/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://reddit.com/r/mpmb/</a>

Thanks for the links. I looked at the scripts and this project is both amazing and intimidating. If I use one of the spells, backgrounds or feats as an example, do I simply replace the wording of the spell, background or feat with that of the homebrew?

Thank you. I will continue to check and if I do get this problem again, I'll send you the files

Dinglebats

When the level field is still empty, there will be no misty step added, that is correct. But once you do add levels, misty step should be added automatically. You can post stuff here, or send it via any other way you want to contact me, email for example. You'll find my contact information in the "Contact" bookmarks in the PDF.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Where can I send a screen capture?

Dinglebats

When I open the 12.999 page, it has no level showing. I then added the race, and the misty step didn't populate, but other items do, such as the skills and the Darkvision

Dinglebats

That's strange, it should populate no matter what order you enter those. The limited features just populate whenever you enter the first level.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Thank you. I had put the race in first, so it never populated it. Once I cleared the race and put it back in, with the class and levels already in place, it worked fine.

Dinglebats

The syntax is essentially a JSON object. The easier the thing you are trying to make, the simpler the syntax. Something like a spell is probably the easiest, then a background, then a feat, and then things like race/class.

I've been exploring the possibility of coding homebrew for this sheet, but I am a complete noob to coding. Is this something that is possible without a computer science degree? If it is, what would be the easiest thing to begin coding: Backgrounds? Feats? Equipment? Races? Classes? Subraces? Sorry for the noob question, but I'm an old man that began playing D&D in 1974 and never had the opportunity to learn anything about coding. I hope not only to teach myself, but my grandson as well (more likely he will end up teaching me). He just began playing D&D with us. It seems to me that his interest in the game would go a long way toward learning to code.

Mechanical Servant was in v12.998 of the sheet, but I failed to update the code to coincide with the Import functionality. It will be available again in the next version.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Any plans for adding in the Companion sheet something to do with the Mechanical Servant under the artificer? I see you can make it a familiar under Warlock in the companion options, but there's nothing for artificer and the abilities it would have as being an artificer's mechanical servant.

Another refugee from DM's Guild here.

These are fantastic resources and have saved me so much time recently it's unbelievable (hence signing up here!) Are there plans to include the 'Warlock - Dead King (as Otherworldly Patron)'? One of my party has decided to use it and I want to gen them a character sheet.

It's a good point by burned toast. Did you Acrobat hang or crash? I.e. does it still use CPU or does it close its process completely? The former means you just have to wait longer.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I wish it was only 5 minutes. On my laptop it can easily take half an hour ;) Granted, it is getting old.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Sometimes it just takes a VERY long time, just leave the room... go to the bathroom or something and it'll eventually generate. My 10th level cleric's sheet takes like five minutes to generate.

Generating spell sheets takes a lot of RAM because of how Adobe Acrobat creates the new pages and form-fillable fields on those newly generated pages. It could well be that some machines can't handle very large spell sheets. However, if you can consistently reproduce this issue on multiple machines, it is probably a bug in my code. If that's the case, please send me the sheet in question so I can investigate :)

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Is there some reason why anytime I try to do a large spell sheet, it crashes my adobe?

That is correct. The Chaos Bolt spell doesn't appear on the Wizard spell list, it is only on the Sorcerer spell list.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

ChaosBolt Spell is not on the wizard spell list (war magic selected as sub class)

Cheers. Appreciate the response.

Wayne Coles

The Spell Mastery doesn't offer a selection, as it is impossible to add such a dynamic selection to a class feature. And you can change the spells you select in just 8 hours. Or do you mean you would want to select a spell in the spell sheet generation dialogue. That also wouldn't work, because then you would have to also remove those spells from the spellbook, or you would get them added to the spell sheet twice. I recommend just adding the names of selected spells to the class features section manually, or mark them with the "always prepared" check on the spell sheet (i.e. wizards don't get anything 'always prepared', so it won't cause any conflict.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Considering the Investigator background is a variant of the Soldier background and uses the same traits, ideals, flaws, bonds, this seems to be exactly what is supposed to happen. Items and the background feature should however be different. When I add an Investigator, it gives me the right background feature (Watcher's Eye), and the right items. Can you tell me how I can get it to give me the Soldier's items/feature, starting with a freshly downloaded sheet?

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Also Feature is pulling that way too

Investigator Background is pulling from soldier for items, traits, ideals, flaws, bonds.

Am curious if there is a way to select Spell Mastery Spells. Could not find an option. Thx

It's amazing to see how many fixes you've already made to the v12.999 sheet. I'm curious, is there a reason you're keeping the version number the same? Are you saving v13 for a major update?

I found the error, and it is as stupid as it is simple. I wrote "toLowercase", while it should be "toLowerCase". So this will be fixed in the next version for sure. Thanks again for reporting!

MorePurpleMoreBetter

No worries! I'm a dev and realised how awful my bug report was after i entered it lol. Glad to help, and love the sheets!

Alex Dunker

Thank you for reporting and especially for giving the full JS error, that's very helpful! I'll look into it to see if I can fix it for the next version :)

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Whole import, sorry, should have specified. Get a javascript error: "CurrentWeapons.field[ArrayNmbr].toLowercase is not a function. fileName: Document-Level: Functions2; lineNumber: 5381; columnNumber: 0;" if I remove the attack that was manually added (flametongue longsword), then it imports no problem, so there is a workaround (screenshot then delete and import, then readd), but can be tedious.

Alex Dunker

Do you mean the whole import fails, or just that the manually filled in attack doesn't transfer? The former would definitely be a bug, while the latter is expected behaviour.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Possible Bug: Import to a new version breaks with a manually filled in field in the attacks area.

Alex Dunker

I think the only other thing I noticed while building the Bladelock was that when I (re)generated the spell sheet, it wouldn't auto-fill the spellcasting ability, though it did put the right spell save DC on the first page. I don't know if it was a problem with the spell sheet in general, with the fact that he's an Aasimar and as such gets a section on the spell sheet for racial spellcasting, or if the racial spell is the Light cantrip which would ALSO appear in his class list since Celestial Warlocks also get the Light cantrip. It's a simple enough thing to just select Charisma on the spell sheet, but I figured I'd mention it just in case.

Patrick Egan

Thank you for reporting this! I was just looking at a similar issue and found that I had made a tiny mistake (literally a single letter) in the code which caused all things with multiple sources to not have any checkmarks. This includes all the PHB invocations, as that appear both in the PHB and the SRD. This will be fixed in the next version!

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Possible Bug: I'm building a Celestial Bladelock with v12.999, and when I click the Thirsting Blade & Lifedrinker Invocations, it adds them to the Notes section where all the chosen Invocations are listed, but it does not show a checkmark next to them in the selection list when I go to pick more. There IS a checkmark next to Improved Pact Weapon and Shroud Of Shadow.

Patrick Egan

when I try to select dark elves I get the wood elf features. how can I fix that?

Johnny On

Ah! I see... thanks! It's easy to just alter it yourself so no big deal there! :D

Bug report. Dark Elves and Fey Elves are set as Wood Elves.

Heleneto

Almost none of the races have features that fit in the limited space. Nor do most of the class features, background features, feats, or spells. The challenge of making something for a character sheet is finding the information down in such a way that you don't lose its essence but also don't need a small book to keep track of everything There is no way to have racial traits go to a notes section other than with a custom script in the 'eval' attribute.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Than you for reporting this!

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Thank you for reporting!

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Great catch, thank you for reporting!

MorePurpleMoreBetter

This is already correctly stated in the class feature. Maybe you're referring to the spell description on the spell sheets. The PDFs don't support making changes to spells based on class features.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Grave Cleric's version of Spare the Dying is supposed to be a bonus action and a range of 30'.

Gloom Stalker's Dread Ambusher is supposed to also give a bonus to initiative from Wis mod.

All the elves subraces from unearthed arcana have the traits of the wood elf

I'm going to try writing it on my own - so far its been successful! The race seems to have everything import correctly, however I have one issue. The racial features of Grung are pretty long and don't all fit into the small text box on page 2. Is there a function to move this stuff to another note box - maybe the one on Page 3 that class traits sometimes get bumped to?

MPMB, I just want to thank you and anyone else that has helped with this. I LOVE your sheet and want to use it forever! Please don't ever stop. I'm in between jobs right now but as I get more secure I'll be giving more. I appreciate that this must be tons of work for you. Happy holidays and be well. <3

The Dread Pirate Mittens

The "Linguistic" feat adds the traits, but not the text itself on the feat section

As the different tiers of patronage suggest, I'm happy to make it for you if you become a Sorcerer-tier or higher subscriber. Otherwise, I'm happy to help you fix issues on any code you make based on the syntax: <a href="https://github.com/morepurplemorebetter/MPMBs-Character-Record-Sheet/tree/master/additional%20content%20syntax" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/morepurplemorebetter/MPMBs-Character-Record-Sheet/tree/master/additional%20content%20syntax</a>

I'm also having this issue on the Printer Friendly Redesign and original design versions

Yes, I've got a player who is wanting a revised ranger horizon walker

Wood Elf isn't populating the Racial Traits Edit: I missed where this had already been addressed. "MorePurpleMoreBetter It seems that an "i" is missing, making the wood elf recognition not case-insensitive. If you enter "wood elf" (no capital letters) into the race field, it will work. It will be fixed in the next version, or if you replace the import file with the latest version yourself :)"

Azrael

Thanks for the update - any chance the Grung race will be added? I do have the PDF for it if its needed. Otherwise might have to try and learn the script.

Love all the new content! I think I found a bug as well tho. The Wood Elf racial features do not load. The other elf races will, but nothing updates when you select Wood Elf. Thank you for these sheets, they're the absolute best!

Xanathar's is out! :D

Smashman

Oh I just found the button. Perfect, Thx!

Hello, maybe I found a bug. When selecting the Revised ranger (UA) in addition to the official content, the Horizon Walker from Xanathar Guide to Everything is not selectable. If I keep just the official material instead is among the options. Thanks for all your efforts!

Mattia Monticelli

You can import your character to v12.999 just like you could to all the previous versions of the sheet. You can do this from the Import menu. The Import menu is opened with the "Import" button in the 'JavaScript-window'-toolbar or with the "Import/Export" bookmark.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I to would like to know if i can just update my current sheet to the new one without having to refill it

Mathew

I'm guessing there's not a way to update my existing sheets?

Do you mean an option where you upload a PDF document, and the JavaScript code comes out? I think you can safely assume that something like that is beyond my capabilities as a programmer, I'm sorry. Perhaps for backgrounds it could be possible, as they follow a strict lay-out guide, but for the rest it would require far more than a simple text recognition program. You would need to train a computer how to shorten game-mechanics to coherent sentences. Not an easy task!

MorePurpleMoreBetter

When would it be safe to assume direct PDF importing for classes/backgrounds/races/feats/etc will be added? I've got no idea how to make scripts, and a lot of material I would love to add to my character sheets.

It seems that an "i" is missing, making the wood elf recognition not case-insensitive. If you enter "wood elf" (no capital letters) into the race field, it will work. It will be fixed in the next version, or if you replace the import file with the latest version yourself :)

MorePurpleMoreBetter

\o/ woohoo!

Tillerz

Thanks for all the hard work btw!

WarWizard

Where do you want bugs reported? Looks like Wood Elf is broken: It isn't adding the features, language, and ability modifiers?

WarWizard

Thanks so much! Which I could donate more!

Joshua Simpson

Started doing them myself for Xanathar's and now I realize just how much work goes into it. Keep up the good work!

Just became a patreon to use these sheets! Love what you are doing. :)

Kat Smith

Looking forward to updates for Xanathar's...

David Stocker. Might be worth seeing if those invocations you want are in one of the Unearthed Arcana. If so, just add that from Sources. How i got around Forge Cleric stuff.

Wayne Coles

When will 12.999 go live? And how can I add invocations to the 12.998 sheet in the meantime if the AddWarlockInvocations in a 12.999 feature?

David Stocker

just subscribed, this is my 1st patreon thing ive supported, hope to see the continued amazing work with Xanathars now out

Friday Knights

You have a faithful following in me and my two groups. Keep up the good work sir!

I currently have no plans of transcribing (or even buying) the Tol'dorei campaign guide, there is more than enough work left on other things before I have the luxury of time for transcribing more content. You can, however, do it yourself using the syntax that is available on my GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/morepurplemorebetter/MPMBs-Character-Record-Sheet/tree/master/additional%20content%20syntax" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/morepurplemorebetter/MPMBs-Character-Record-Sheet/tree/master/additional%20content%20syntax</a>

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I use your Character Sheet all the time, such a useful tool. Thanks for all the time saved making characters :)

Pretty stoked i found the UA stuff. Seriously needed it for my Forge Cleric. That XGTE changed Shield to Identify as Domain spells is minuscule. Everything else is there. Happy to wait for the XG update. Well worth the tiny amount of coin im paying to have this. TYVM MPMB

Wayne Coles

Really looking forward to the Zanthars update

Craig Smith

Following for a XgtE update. Keep up the good work MP.

Mike Stempler

When you add the Xanathar stuff, please leave the option to use the UA stuff as well, since my campaign will not be switching at this time (already too far in with the old stuff)

Was very disappointed when you got dropped from dmsguild, glad to see these are still available. With the release of Xanathar, there will be an update soonish for the official versions of that former UA material?

Are their plans to do the Tal'dorei guide made by Matt Mercer? Just curious. Love this sheet and glad I found it again :)

@shinykarl I have long asserted that making characters is just as much fun for me as playing the game! I have SOOOOOOOOOO many ideas. I have thousands of characters saved on my computer from 4e - present.

The Dread Pirate Mittens

Hi everyone! New guy here. I just want to thank MPMB for the best D&D product not made by WotC. I've been using your stuff for a few years now and I just love it. MPMB, I'm not a programmer by any stretch so adding all the stuff to get XgtE to work is quite beyond me. I'm hoping that this, at first impression, fantastic community will be able to help you develop a way to get it added in a way I can handle hahaha... Keep on plugging away until they make you stop. And once they do, try to get hired by them!

The Dread Pirate Mittens

I just want to thank you so much for all the work you do with this. I've told people my favorite part of DND is character creation, and no one believes me! But this sheet makes all the annoying parts of character creation easy, letting me focus on the fun bits!

Chris Holden

Thanks for making these available. I just upped my contribution to $3 a month, and am going to try to up it even more, both for the added Dropbox/Google Drive access and to thank you for sticking with this despite the setbacks. I have really grown to rely on your character sheets to the point that it would be quite difficult and time consuming for me to go back to having to do all the calculation and cross-filling work myself.

Jacob

I have a campaign to share all my DnD Beyond stuff if you want access to everything right now.

WestlockPopcorn

Unfortunately, my LFGS only gets books three weeks after their release date... Also, I have so many other things to sort before I can start working on new content that I can't give a good estimate when I'll have time to work on XGtE.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

Is there an ETA on Xanathar's content? Got the book, and want to start generating characters.

WestlockPopcorn

I just successfully downloaded the 12.998 sheets on a Windows 10 PC using Chrome.

Joe Grover

They appear in my android Patreon app as grey boxes below the post. Not very intuitive, I have to agree. I have no issue downloading the files on my PC using Firefox or Chrome. This sounds like an issue on your end, or something with Patreon. Perhaps it is something to do with a virus scanner or plugin for Chrome? Does it also not work with another browser than Chrome? It can be many things and I'm sorry I can't be more help. I suggest contacting Patreon support if you can't download it in any other way than with Chrome on your phone.

MorePurpleMoreBetter

I can download it from the browser on my phone (chrome) but not chrome on my PC. Also the patreon app does not even give me the option to download them.

Sheriff Jetsaurian

I have no issue downloading from here. Do all not work or just some of them? Can you try another browser, another machine, or perhaps the Patreon app on Android or iOS?

MorePurpleMoreBetter

So the links don't work. They start to download then get to the last percent and just stop. I have double checked and can download other files from other sites no problem.

Sheriff Jetsaurian

Does anyone else have an issue with 12.998 spell sheets? Clicking the Spell Sheets option in 12.998 doesn't do anything for me and I can't access spell sheet options on it at all. Been keeping 12.997 around because of it, was hoping pulling straight from here or the Dropbox would resolve it but same issue.

Patrick

i just double checked with the ones i downloaded before they are the same.

Lamar Jensen

Are these 12.998 the same as the ones available before you got shut down at DMguild?
