Hi, probably these are answered elsewhere and my search fu is weak.

1. Using the SW SPC, when I print out the characters the power descriptions I enter are truncated. How do I get the full description to print?

2. The powers print down a column and onto the next page, broken by a couple of other sections of information. How do I get all the powers to appear on the same page?

3. The various attack powers are not counted in the listing of attacks, including unarmed attacks. The most obvious example is Attack, Melee, but one of the appear under the weapons/attacks section. How do I get them to appear there?

Thanks!

No, eh?

1) Where are you entering the Power Descriptions?

2) The only way would be to create custom output sheets. If you want to do this, I can help you.

3) They aren't set up to appear there currently. I will take a look and see if it's feasible to include them there.

1. When I select "Teleport" I am presented with a description field. Into that field I put "Changes into electricity. Over conductive materials only." On the PDF output it shows "Changes into" with not even an ellipsis. Either way, it should print the entire description field which is itself limited to something like 64 characters.

2. Yes, please.

3. Is there anything akin to a page break, or a way to specify that a module of information starts on a separate page?

I realize this is a set of "first world" problems - I just look at buying a builder (and the sets in this case) as a way to speed up the character building process. I like the builder and I want it to be heads above other options. Taking steps like calculating in the effect of Attack, Melee on melee attacks, or listing Attack, Ranged among the character's attacks ensures the benefit over doing it by hand stays nice and fat.

1. Are you referring to the Trappings field? I'll see what I can do about allowing more text.

3. There's an overflow page (sheet_standard2.dat)

Please, keep asking. We want this to be as useful as it can be.
