I am LOVING this.  Just as I am pushing to play this game THIS comes along!

A few issues I have noticed since you are being goodly enough to fix them:

Radioactive Origin lists proper +1 Fort bonus, but applies a +1 Shapeshifter bonus to Reflex in Defenses.

Giant origin doesn't apply trait to ignore speed penalty in heavy armor.

Also, the sheet shows some nice colorful borders and grids which seem to disappear when printing.  I understand it saves on some ink printing, but could we have a toggle to turn that on or off?  I think it looks a lot better with those included.

And I would like to also speak out in support of being able to enter Ability Scores as it would allow characters rolled in person to be inputed to the sheet.

Thanks!

Set your browser to print background images and colors. That should fix the border issues.

Hi all, I will be looking at the reported issues and see what I can get fixed over the next few days =)

I figured out that if you select your origins, certain parts of the character sheet do not update. This was the problem with the Initiative bonus.

If you roll Hypercognitive or Temporal, the bonus shows.

If you select Hypercog or Temporal, the bonus does not get factored in.

Suggestion: Rewrite the function that's called when origins are selected to automatically recalculate not only the ability scores, but all of the bonuses associated with the origin.

I would also suggest that you move to objects or at least origin arrays. Origin 1 may be ['Arachnoid', 'inititiative bonus', 'primary ability', 'speed', ...]. Expressed as +/- value. There is a base character that has all the normal abilities (rolled stats, etc.) so that if you choose your origins, you re-apply the origins to the augmented character array (or object). So a character is essentially a base object, 2 origin objects, and an augmented object. The augmented object represents the final character which you spit out to the character sheet. The base object itself is never modified, that way you can easily reapply the origins.

If you think about the gamma world origins like templates being laid over a monster, then you've got the idea. The base creature + template = augmented creature.

I would also suggest that you make Engineered Human selectable as primary or secondary directly instead of having to choose the same origins. It makes more sense. The random version shouldn't bring E.H. into the mix, but the choose-your-own-origin option should.

Please select the appropriate weapons for the character. A strong strength and weak dex wouldn't choose a light gun, they'd choose a heavy gun.

And finally, please make every element of the character sheet editable (the character-based text). That means all the ability scores, the weapons, everything.
