Useful macros
 
I want to start by saying that the current group of macros is great. They really speed things up. However, I have two requests related to macros:

1) I'd like to see macros to count number of levels in a specific character class, number of total character levels, and also total caster levels.

2) While the macros are really useful, and I'm glad you've put them in the help files, I'd really like to see the original "here's how you do this" examples put back in. While I know I don't need to write an eval script any more to tell me how many ranks a character has in a skill (since there's a handy-dandy macro for that now), I might still want to see the original script to gleen some useful insights from the coding example that aren't present anywhere else in the help files.

Good ideas. We'll get these added!

There should still be examples in the help files on how to do stuff. The
"Reference Information" section has information on a bunch of different
types of pick, so the "Skills" section (for example) has examples on how
to add to a bonus the hard way, and the different fields and tags there
you can access.


Thanks,
