View Full Version : Tracked resources on PDF character sheet

Only just now beginning to tackle trying to modify character sheets, etc.

But right off the bat, any particular reason the default character sheet does NOT reflect Tracked Resources when I create and print? Seems like something it should do out of the box.

If you Output Hero Statblock you get Tracked Resources.

Follow up to this. Where in the world can you tag something to be a Tracked Resource in Savage Worlds? In Pathfinder it is an option in the Editor and data files. Do not see that when editing SW's.

AS for what shows up as Tracked on the Statblock I see Bennies, and my Ammo. I would like to be able to tag other items for tracking, plus see that on the character sheet.

Any talk of this?

I realize this is some major thread necromancy here, but I only just realized that I could really, really use this (like for tracking Dominion on the HoER and DLN data files). Does anyone know of a way to set up a trait to be a tracked resource like bennies, power points and ammo are? If not I'll add this to the feature request thread because I think it would be really, really helpful to be able to do that.

It would be helpful. We use printed out characters at the table.

On a related note, it seems to me that from what I recall reading -- I have not tried it -- but the Wounds and Fatigue are, I believe, a static value on the print out. That is, even if you have a way to have more (or fewer) boxes it will not print out. Am I right? There are a few settings that use a third Fatigue level.

I don't just mean as something to print on a sheet, but actually tracked resources that have that nice box with arrows all set up on the In Play tab for easily tracking those things up and down. I have no idea on the boxes for Wounds and Fatigue but I would guess they are static since the base rules (and all of the PEG, Inc. settings) all seem to only use 3 wounds and 2 Fatigue anyway.
