3e Character sheet issues:
The Offense section is failing to list Affliction or Weaken attacks.
Neither of the "Picture on Page 2" options works.

He should be defense 3, the 5 without dodge and then the -2 for being stunned. Adding 1 to his base defense makes it 4+6 dodge and User(+10), Stunned (-2), Dodge Focus 2(+2). Adding a rank of dodge has the exact same results.

I think what it's doing is subtracting the -2 for stunned before figuring out how much of the defense is the dodge bonus, thus making the defense one too high.

This is similar to my earlier 2E observation about the 'Helpless' condition:

Therefore, I believe it [the Play Aid Sheet] should read:

Helpless: No dodge bonus, -5 to Defense and an additional -4 to DEF from adjacent melee attacks.

Additionally, I went to the Adjust Tab and clicked upon the Helpless condition and it simply removed all the additional bonus I had purchased for DEF on the Abilities Tab instead of just the Dodge Bonus.

As stated above, to be in accordance with the Green Ronin Errata it should also be subtracting 5 from the base DEF value of 10.

After running my 3e demo game, more Character Sheet issues:

Having Speed is not reflected in the Movement section.

This one is rather important; Affliction does not list what it is resisted by.

For that matter, none of the pre-packaged Afflictions (Dazzle, Snare, Sleep) lists Resistance or Conditions, which is kind of annoying. Really, I would prefer that those Powers come up in the normal Affliction window with the name and parameters filled in, which would both make them easier to tweak to taste and insure that all the relevant information was presented.

Actually, mathematically, it would be better to just buy the Advantage: Close Combat (Attack).

So, yeah, when you buy Close Combat, it should only apply to one thing. Unarmed Combat *or* Grab, or a damage effect that doesn't have Range on it.

Don't mind me, I'm just babbling my way through this.

You can buy multiple copies of the Close Combat skill - it's at the top of the list if you click "Add New Skills" at the bottom of the skills tab.

What the skill applies to is pretty much up to the player - you could take "Close Combat (Unarmed)" and then apply it to your unarmed strike, and then another few Damage attacks which for your character uses his fists. Similarly, I believe you could choose "Ranged Combat (Throwing)" and use it for multiple different types of thrown weapons. Hence, the skill lets you pick multiple attacks to apply it to.

This is following how characters are represented in the book - only direct attacks are really shown in the sample archetypes.

Oops, I'll fix this, thanks.

Now, what about the 2E Play Aid Sheet & the 'Helpless' Condition (see previous post in this thread) write-up?

Keep up the great work,

I think it is, but only if you have it toggled on (which it likely won't be if it's an alternate power or something). I'll make sure it always shows up, even if it's off.

I'm not sure why the "resisted by" element isn't appearing, that's definitely a bug. Your other idea is interesting - I'll see if I can incorporate it in some way.

I've made a note of that, but I'm not sure if it'll get into the next release - I'm going to try and fix a few of the critical bugs, but I'm running behind on other stuff right now, so I don't think I have time to track down subtle stuff like this. It's definitely still on my to-do list, though.

Thanks for the bug reports, everyone!

It's still a bug. If you can put it in the Specials summary, you can put it on the character sheet.
