Character Sheet Output Improvements

The purpose of this thread is to solicit suggestions for what information you'd like to see added and/or organized/presented differently within the character sheet output for Starfinder. You'll find separate threads for each game system, so please limit your feedback to Starfinder in this thread.

PLEASE NOTE! We are not planning to make character sheets customizable in the near future, nor are we planning to make drastic changes at this time. So please focus on improvements within the current general framework within this thread - i.e. things we can hopefully address in relatively short order.

Thanks!
 
Engineering skill should show both with tools and without tools option.

I have a character who occasionally assists with engineering who doesn't own tools himself, but will have access to tools while assisting. I always forget to add 2 more to my check because when I read the sheet, it is not clear that the minus 2 is included.

Anytime situational-based penalties are included in skill totals, we should be notified, both online and in the printout.
 
1. Make it (or make an option) for a single sheet output. Not all of us have PDF editors to do it for themselves and it's a pain to have multiple sheets open at one time.
2. Actually put Gear information in the "Gear and Abilities" section.
These were both available until the format was changed last summer.
 
I think I misread.....when I saw "output" I was thinking PDF. Now I'm not so sure. Is this really about display of the character sheet in the Play tab?
 
I think what flyteach was asking for was the option to have the PDF output in one big file instead of two to four smaller ones.
 
So you liked the 14 page block option instead of the improved Character Sheet that we have now?
 
I think people would like the option to print the entire character as one file rather than always having to print separate files.

I personally like having options and this is one area where sometimes I do print just one or two pieces and sometimes I print the whole thing. If it is the latter, then it would be nice to do so as a single file. Not something that is essential but Rob asked what changes we'd like to see.
 
Having it as separate files just means you have to issue four separate print commands instead of just one. At least if you're doing it from inside a pdf viewer/editor. Not that onerous a task, for me. :-)

Not true. Some of the pages are only one page, so can't be double side printed, therefore saving paper. Also, if you're using the PDF electronically (because there's no internet service where one is playing) then one has to switch through a multitude of documents rather than just one.
 
Related but unrelated at the same time... Can there be an option added to output the character in an .xml format?
 
I believe a workaround can be found here: https://pdfjoiner.com/

You can upload your files, order them as you need, and then press the join files button. You will get a download of a pdf consisting of the orignal files joined together.

Thanks for that, but I was looking for something to take the existing .pdf outputs and convert them to .xml
