This has been requested for awhile for spells. So I would assume once they do it for the desktop software it will come to the iPad.

My advice is keep your weapon as a custom one. Then you can edit that on the iPad and add the effects of plus or abilities like Fire.

A .por file can already hold multiple characters. Also the Community Player Pack has all the level 1 and level 2 summon monsters setup as .stock files. So what you do is import the most common summon monsters into your .por file. Then when your on the iPad you can easily switch to them and run them from the iPad.

To do the attack rolls install the "TouchAttacks" addon that allows you to add a "Touch Attack" and "Ranged Touch Attack" weapon to your character. Then the iPad app can roll the attack for you. Plus you can pick it with feats like Weapon Focus so the value will be correct.

It does nothing for damage but its a start.

Agree and has been mentioned several times. I would not be surprised if its not in the next release of the software....
