Character sheets layout

Thanks. I like the first option as well. Hopefully, once I've completed the sheet it won't need any updates but you never know ;)

I've not used GitHub before so I might have to pick your brains on that when the time comes if that's OK? Don't mean to be a pain as you have been very helpful.

BTW, if there is anyone else reading this thread, I'm open to feedback on the sheet as it stands (with the understanding that it isn't complete yet so some items might be on my "to do" list already).

Thanks again.

That looks great - much nicer than the default sheet already. Any word on when it will be available?
 
Shouldn't be too much longer actually. I've been using it in my home game and have been fixing the odd bug here and there. I think I might be ready to go to Open Beta (so to speak) when I get back from a convention next weekend).
 
I have this added to GitHub for dpmcalister so it will be in the next release of the community Pack.

For those that are not use to "custom" sheets they work a little differently in HL. You go to "File->Save Custom Output" and then select the custom sheet you want to make use of. In this case it will be "DnD5e.info Custom Output". Once that is done HL creates a HTML file in the folder you select and will auto-open your default web browser.

To print you print using your web browser to any local printers. If you want to make a PDF of the character sheet I recommend many of the free PDF printers you can download from the internet. I use PrimoPDF to make the attached PDF example.

Thanks so much dpmcalister for this contribution!

I find Chrome's built-in Print to PDF works best for unknown reasons (probably my poor coding skills ;))

You're welcome. Thanks for the great community pack :D
 
Hmm, I'm getting an error trying to use the DnD5e.info Custom Output, any ideas?

"An error occurred while transforming the input file: Unknown error!"

I just did a fresh install of the Pack and used the sheet to make a custom output without issues.

Have you tried different characters? You do have a default web browser configured correct?

I'm getting the same error message on my Mac, and I believe I do have the default Web browser configured correctly.
 
I have only tested on a Windows 10 PC using Chrome, Edge and Firefox (I found the best results using Chrome and its built-in Print to PDF engine). There could potentially be an issue with Mac, but unfortunately, I can't test in that environment and my XML knowledge is very basic (just enough to create the sheet itself).

Sorry it's not working for you, if someone else can help troubleshoot/provide an answer I'll gladly include the fix in the files.
 
Thank you for your work with this. I would like to use this with my party - they are all new to the game so I think this format is a little easier for them.

I have noticed something peculiar though - if you create a cleric and save the output - the cantrips are not shown in the spell book.

If I create a warlock they are so it looks like something that is particular to the cleric and the template.

I can overcome this by printing the normal spell book from Herolab but it's c a complication.

I have put some samples here:

If you unzip and look at the cleric (Rhys) the cantrips are not shown in the spellbook. I also included the PDF with the standard Herolab output.
