AncientOne's Custom Pathfinder Sheet

[Azhrei]

Thanks for posting; that seems like a reasonable development approach. I did some hacking on the sheet a few months ago because I was going to try reading the portfolio directly by using JS in the browser, hoping to be able to get items' container ship information (turns out the information isn't there, so it can't be reported correctly; everyone interested in this sheet supporting containers should file a bug report with LW!).

The biggest issues I saw in the sheet were how it determined that something was a weapon or an amor... There's a list of text strings and it looks for those strings. That means "new" weapons won't be recognized as such -- perhaps the kineticist's blast falls into this category? It would be nice if those strings could be externalized (step 1) and then generated (step 2) so that the sheet could support more items with a simple build/deploy process. Perhaps the d20pfsrd databases would help? (Don't know if they have a database for weapons and armor, though.)

I agree that writing them in the sheet by hand is not optimal, and with Node.js it wouldn't be hard to request that information from an external source. I'll evaluate the options when I get to weapons/armor.

i was just curious if there has been any update either to AncientOne's sheet, or those working on a modified version of it.

Resurrecting the spell issue again: For a while most arcane casters weren't getting their spells included. The core classes (for example, Universalist Wizard) got fixed, but specialized wizards (Necromancer, Teleportation) still don't have their spell lists included in the output. Does anyone have a fix for this?

FYI that I've just come back to Pathfinder (after a multi-year break of mostly no gaming at all). I'm going to review and update the sheet to address issues that have cropped up in my time away.

Good to see you again, AncientOne!

Hi All,

Head's up that the forthcoming update (4.14) addresses the spell-list display problems for specialist wizards and unchained summoners.

Even with this update, spellbooks will not display properly unless you check the "Character Ignores Physical Spellbooks?" option. This is because Hero Lab doesn't export the data for individual physical spellbooks.

Glad to see you back and +1 on your plans!
