Container Format

[DLKTrazer]

Hello,

Big fan of the program - it's simplified making character and kept alot of the fun in the game.

My question is if it would be possible to build a Container power with a interface like the dialog box below. The output on the character sheet is cleaner and simpler to me than the existing container powers.

Often times, I'll have a character who has a single alternate form or set of powers. If I use the Alt Form Power, it wastes extra space putting a power settings section on the character sheet. The Container power as it exists now also takes up a bunch of extra space that this other power format does not.

Not sure how difficult this would be, but if it's reasonable, it'd be helpful to me. Thanks for your help.

Could you also set the container and alt form to allow traits to go negative. That way if I have a character with a Hulk like alt form with diminished intelligence when he takes on his other form I can just make it with out issue.

DLKTrazer, I'm not entirely sure what you're asking for - do you want a "Container" form that just lets you add powers, and not power feats, alternate powers, etc?

dartnet, I'm not sure which power you would use for that - it'd be like a reverse Boost, I guess. Are there any sample characters with stat-reducing alternate forms we can look at?

Sort of. The existing Container format requires an entry for each Enhanced Attribute power, and requires the Enhanced Trait power for any other adjustments. This tends to make long lists and more complicated looking character sheets. I want a container format that condenses down the stat bonuses and makes it easy to add feats, like the alternate form box does.

However, I want something separate from Alternate Form because that power causes the "Power Setting" section to appear on the character sheet. This takes up too much room, and isn't necessary for character's whose Alternate Forms have only 1 setting.

Really what I'm looking for is a way to use the Alternate Form power without having to add the power, choose a sub-setting, than have the "Power Settings" section appear on the char sheet for characters who don't need it. It looks messy to me, and causes several of my characters to run over into extra pages.

This is not an urgent request, and I understand if the potential gain is not worth the effort. If it is feasible, however, it would help me out with several characters. Thanks for your help.

You can add more than one trait using the "Enhanced Trait" power. If you want to represent multiple traits in a single power, just add "Enhanced Trait" once and add multiple trait modifications to it. Hopefully that solves your problem.
