Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't seem to save the formatting on my character sheets. As soon as I close and reopen the sheet, it returns to standard formatting.
Wishlist:
-Alternate ability bonuses for pre-PHB3 races
-Lots more superior implements or an official customization rule
-Monk multiclass feat that grants Unarmed Combatant

you need to make use of the "save" and "load" functions under the layout menu.

What about saving customized workspaces? If you close it out and reload it, they go back to basic attacks and damage?

Any way to make the customization stick?

When I switch to landscape, all the text in the racial and class features runs off the edge of the block instead of wrapping to the next line. Is there a fix for that, or am I just an idiot and haven't seen the obvious?

Formatting will save to the character in the full version so it will be a simpler process than it is now to save it.

As for editing, we are working on some more stuff in that direction, can't promise when it will all be in though.

Speaking of editing. You currently have an option in the attacks and damage section to sort by attack or sort by weapon, but that is only for check marking which attacks you want to be displayed. That should extend to how they are displayed on the sheet as well. Also, it would be nice if the data shown was as simple as it appears in the selection screen.

Clean concise and to the point.

Like this:



So if you choose sort by power it should display on the character sheet the same way.

I really love the fact that you can customize the char sheet. One of the best things ever. I even like the fact that you can make them shorter or longer, but I would really like is to make them wider w/o making the entire column wider.

The character builder looks beautiful! And the Character sheet is pretty damn awesome!

My only concern is that, while the Sheet is great for your pc, some of the options aren't exactly print friendly or customizable.

The biggest thing I have noticed, due to the fact that I am a BIG roleplayer and love a great character background, is that the SIZE of the boxes in the Sheet cannot be altered. I believe this could be a big issue. While reading my Character Background section in the sheet ON my PC, I can simply scroll down to read what does not fit in the small box; however, when I print my sheet for game night more than two thirds of my story will be hidden...

This also comes into play with all the other boxes, to some extent or other. While attempting to find a comfortable layout for my first page, I discovered that, depending on where you move them, some boxes took up much more room than was necessary, or not enough room.

To me the solution is easy: enable the boxes to be sized, similarly to any "Window" type application. The ability to total customize the character sheet will definitely be useful.

Thanks for listening WotC!!
