Customizable Output Please!

[stryker]

I'd love to be able to customize how the character sheet looks (e.g. have a blank set of lines for equipment). Is this something that can be accommodated?

Yes and no.

In the case of Savage Worlds and 4e, the complete data files are published. So you can easily adapt the current character sheets to your own purposes. For d20, M&M, and WoD, one thing we plan to do soon is publish the data files for character output. This will allow users to adapt the existing files to generate customized output. However, we haven't accomplished this yet - it's still on our todo list, but hopefully soon.

If you want to add a number of blank lines for equipment, you can do that by defining new things via the Editor. You can have the name be a long sequence of underscores. If you assign those things the "Helper.Bootstrap" tag, then they will be auto-added to every character. They will appear in the equipment list for the character and in the character sheet.

Thanks for the quick response on the forums! Great tool by the way... can't wait for more systems and data sets (e.g. all of WoD core books, etc...).

That sounds cool.
