I've made two characters so far and love the program. The only thing I've noticed so far that hasn't been mentioned is the fact that the CLASS/PATH/DESTINY FEATURES section is already full with a 3rd lvl character (Elf/Ranger and Gnome/Warlock). As soon as you hit 11th lvl (if you choose a Paragon path and don't multiclass) there will be no space for the additional Paragon Path features. It also seems that OTHER EQUIPMENT and RITUALS could very well fill up in the same way.

I agree with a lot of the other things posted here also. Great works WOTC and great feedback fellow forum dwellers. Can't wait until they open it up for some higher levels.

Under the current generation of this tool there isn't a way for me to input those stats. I suppose allowing you to change the starting point buyups would accomplish the same thing though.


There is a trick/bug/workaround that I have found. Click roll dice then add one to any of the high ability scores. This should make the points left less than zero (if not roll again and hope for a good roll). Once the points left are less than zero you can freely change the ability scores to anything you want even all 18's.

As long as you keep the points left less than zero you should be able to input your scores.

Love it so far, after building a drow darklock.

On the sheet itself, it'd be nice if a warlock's basic ranged attack defaulted to Eldritch Blast. Right now, it's defaulting to her equipped dagger, but I don't know too many warlocks who wouldn't rather use their blast.

This brings up a similar point to some of my previous posts: The final character sheet, the one you are going to print, is non-editable. I would like the option to abbreviate some of the preset text to my needs, alter or remove things I don't care for or need, and of course add important items.

I bought a rod for my hellock and it defaults to Eldritch Blast (even though the RAW says you don't need it)

This does work, and I think is a bit of a bug.

EDIT: On further inspection, all you have to do is set up an array or a roll, subtract 1 from any score then go through and type in whatever you want for your abilities. I just gave my fighter a 60 strength

Just type in the box (which I hadn't noticed was editable), no manipulation is needed.

My character's strength is now OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!!!!!! (soon the rest of his abilities will be as well. :D)

Edit: My halfling's Charisma is 100000001 (I had to select all and copy because the box cuts it off)

I see. I was thrown off earlier when I couldn't move to the next step after entering a number. I do see that the "House Rule" icon appears once you do that though.

Yeah it shows up whenever your score doesn't add up to a 22 point buy. It doesn't care if your under or over just that you're not 22 point buy. Which is good, as I probably wouldn't be able to get this orcus slayer past any DM in their right mind.

The class/path/destiny box will auto truncate (1 power per line) if it realizes it won't all fit. However if this turns our to be a problem still we can come up with a good solution.
