+1 to this
DR, rapid metabolism, and many other effects often get over looked.
Though the last might be difficult to actually pull off from a program mechanic....
Ie, spell effects, potions, etc

Hmm interesting idea. Let me take look. No promises as I may need to add another feature before this would work right. So it may not get into this release.

The only suggestion I would have here is that many of these do not take up much space and only use half the available space. Any way to make these into two columns (like conditions, for example)?

If possible, since you appear to be able to make some UI changes, a couple I would like to see from the initial tab for the character.

BAB (not just attack bonus with size mods).
Size
Reach

These are all fields in the Race, but are never displayed in the UI.

Based on stuff I have seen in Pathfinder I am reluctant because the names can hold calculated values (ie they can get long). When the value/string gets too long the UI will shrink the font size which I hate.

And as I wanted to script out more of the class/race specials I am thinking more room is good!

Wait really? I never noticed that actually but I am use to Pathfinder that has those values shown. I will add this to the to-do list as your right that is important and useful info.

This is a littlebit off topic right now, but One thing I would love, but I don't know if you can do this, as I've seen the same problem in mutants and mastermind, in the weapon customizer, not the editor, if the description of something is too long, it appears over the 'x' to remove it, and sometimes abilities appear side by side, especially in intelligent items. It makes, on the Mac version, the X not clickable. Now you can sometimes, right click to deal with it, but not always. It would be nice if the X had a z index higher than the text, so the ability to remove would be always there.

I will add a note about this issue on the to-do list. As you say you seen it in other systems it could be a "HL" thing not a game system issue. I would need to most likely double check with Colen on it.

Cool. thanks.

The way Pathfinder does it is much smarter. I think it orders the things so that its less likely to happen. Best way to do is look at intelligent items in Pathfinder and intelligent items in d20.

Here's another thing that would be nice since you clearly don't have enough to do right now. The Pathfinder editor allows users to select whether or not a magical item is an artifact. This ability would be nice to have in d20 as well. Personally, I would prefer to have it as its own category, but that may just be me.

Added to the "to-do" list.
