Using Prerequisites, Good Idea?
Added 2017-02-28 14:22:46 +0000 UTC
I am working on adding the Eldritch Invocations from the UA: Warlock & Wizard. A lot of these invocations have a prerequisite to be of a certain Warlock Patron. Obviously, you don't want the option to select these invocations if you don't have the prerequisite Patron. Thus, I am making a new feature of the sheet to exclude these kind of choices based on there prerequisites.
With this new feature it will also be possible to apply them to other prerequisites for Invocations (such as the level or pact boon) as well as prerequisites for other class features (such as the Way of the Four Elements' choices of Elemental Disciplines and the Artificer's choices of Magic Items).
Now I would like to know form you which of the three solutions you would prefer.
Comments
Thanks everybody for the feedback. I have decided to go for the greyed-out option (as that is the clear winner of the poll). However, there will be an option to have the sheet show all options. How to do this can be found in the FAQ, as it will require adding a tiny piece of code in the "Add Custom Script" dialogue.

2017-02-28 16:05:36 +0000 UTCIf having options for homebrew is an issue, it might be better to have an option that lets you deselect prereqs as an option.

2017-02-28 15:23:30 +0000 UTCI think this depends on the use - if creating a character then it's nice to be able to see that they might have chosen the wrong pre-req, if inputting then it makes no difference anyway. Allowing everything to be selected could be an option, or even be there for mods...
