Hi There, I wanted to show off some things that I found out about the D&DI Character Builder character sheet that are pretty darn neat that you might not know about.

Basic Sheet Show




First, here is the character sheet you're probably familiar with:

Menu of doom Show




Up under the options menu, you should click both the "Unlock Panels" and "Show Panel Buttons" to follow along with me.

C-X Show




Now you'll notice that each 'block' of the sheet has a -/X in the upper right hand corner, and some have a C. We'll get to those in a second.

Moving HPs Show



Moving Race Features Show



HP/Race have traded places Show




The neat thing now is that you can grab a 'block' and move it anywhere you want. In these shots I swap the location of my HPs and Racial features.

Customize Workspace Show




My character Quinn keeps daggers on her for mainly RP purposes. Her actual melee weapons are a pair of war picks. To show just those in the attack/damage workspaces, click on the "c" in the upper right hand corner to Customize the block.

Picks are go! Show






So long, racial block Show




The "X" will get rid of the block alltogether, notice my racial block is gone now on the right side. (The - will "minimize" it to the title bar for the block, great if using this in real time on your computer at your game.)


Also known in our game as "Quinn Strike" Show




Here's my power cards. I personally don't wan't the action point cards and the stat summary, and would like to cram them onto one page.


Menu of doom returns Show




Under the options menu, you see 'hide optional power cards.' That will trim my powers down to size.

Slim power cards Show




Thats better!

Menu of valor Show




Now the layout menu has some good options to check out too, a nice one is landscape mode.

Widescreen! Show




In case you'd like your sheet oriented this way.

There it is, I hope you learned something new. Feel free to post questions on the forums, I learned all this by asking the great people making this app.

Avenger sounds like a divine striker. Invoker....a divine controller perhaps?

What happened to the class that starts with "T?"
