Version 13! What's next?

Version 13 of the character sheet is coming up. When I started making this sheet back in 2014 I had never imagined that so many people would support its continued development. Thank you all very much!

With a major number coming up I would like to add something special to the sheet. One thing that I will be adding for sure is a list of people who have made this project possible, you! I haven't figured out how exactly I will credit you and I will first be asking all of you to let me know if you want to be included in the credits or not, but that is for another time.

Now I would like to have your opinion about the following:

What would you like to see added to version 13 of the sheet?

Do you want me to add several minor features, or one major one? Another poll will then be put up depending on your choice.

Be aware that the development of a major feature takes a lot longer than several minor ones!

List of 'major' features:
• Better Print Dialog: Select individual pages instead of groups (e.g. 1 of 3 companions); Set page order; Insert breaks when printing Duplex
• Automation for magic items (after that is done, there won't yet be many magic items to use it with. It will probably take 3+ months to fill the database of magic items)
• Extra page for gear/treasure/loot with a Bag of Holding section/feature
• Ability to change the font, font size, and visibility of text lines of every (most) multi-line text fields individually
• Create a summary sheet for DMs. Both as an optional page, and as a separate document that has room for multiple characters on a page
• Re-work how the sheet adds skill proficiencies, making a dialogue whenever a choice for a skill is given and remembering the input
• Add an option to 'buy' an item, i.e. subtract its value from the coinage when selecting it from the 'add equipment' menu

List of 'minor' features:
• Add a way, on the Printer Friendly sheet, to change an ammunition box into a 'Current Condition' box
• Replace some Magic Item entries from the overflow page with an 'Extra Attacks' section
• Add a 'Carrying Capacity' box to the equipment section of companion page(s)
• Add a way for things, like races, to add extra options for bonds, ideals, flaws, and personality traits
• Make the 'current HP' field into two fields with a button to subtract one from the other (like how the "Add" button works for XP)
• Add a way to have modifiers for ability scores and attacks be used when calculating Wild Shapes (e.g. the 'Insignia of Claws' magic item)
• Add a way to select the starting equipment of classes instead of having it just shown as a tooltip.
• Add an optional footer or header with the filename/character name/custom input/page number/whatever you want, so that it is easier to see which page belongs to which version of your print-out
• Add a way to set the individual parts of the "League" toggle: fields for DCI, Renown, Faction Rank
• Add a way to roll for stats in the Scores dialogue
• Add an option to use Vitality as per the Unearthed Arcana: Variant Rules article of 2015-06-08

New suggestions for features are also still welcome!

EDIT: Because of all the comments I'm not sure if I made this clear: there will be another poll to decide which feature(s) will be added to the sheet. This poll here is just to decide which type of feature you would like to see added next. After that you will decide which feature it will be exactly.

Comments

Adding all the magic items will definitely be a challenge and if/when that feature is added, I will appreciate any help I can get!

Magic items would be great, but I would probably internet-hug you to death if you added the DM sheet

Timothy Edward Rossow

Oh how I have longed for magic items automation. Yes please.

Patrick

I don't need any credits. I'm just in love with this sheet :)

Avinash Arora

I know adding the magic items would be hard, but it would be an amazing addition.

Lenzy Schneider

The options for summary sheet, buying items, and add/subtract HP are really amazing ideas.

Luna

Magic Items would be amazing.

Ben Longman

I like magic items and the button to subtract HP.

Soma

Magic items is the thing that jumps out at me, so Major!

Erik T.

I like most of the major features. The Magic Item and the Buy are the most intriguing to me.

Drewbot

Summary sheet idea sounds great

D.J. Ernst

If I have to vote on which major feature, I would definitely vote for the summary sheet. Especially if we can get more than one character per sheet. :)

Gawain Ouronos

I have always wanted the magic items to be automated so I will definatly be voting for that. As a question on if that gets added once the initial creation of the script is done, would you like help from the community to add the magic items like you did for the Mystic.

Aliqux

I too love the summary sheet idea.

Mark Wilkins

As I almost exclusively print these out for tabletop games anything print related is always welcome :-)

Ryc O'Chet

I love the summary sheet idea!

Kelly

Good idea, I'll edit that in now!

Can you please give us an idea what a major vs minor feature is?
