So, I've been looking at putting together a quick and dirty Android character sheet app to use in a home 3.5 campaign, and I've noticed a couple of things about the xml statblock files that disappoint me.
1. Craft: Other and Knowledge: Other show up as Craft: Other and Knowledge: Other, with no trace of what the user entered for the skill (ie, "Craft: practical joke"). The only way to find out what the skill is supposed to be is to pull it from the "Lead" xml file, and even then there's no way to tie it directly to the correct skill, should they have more than one Craft/Knowledge: Other, other than the number of ranks in the skill. Is there no way you could store the user text in the statblock, either included in the name of the skill, or as a subnode in the XML?
2. The structure of the XML is nearly identical to the structure for Pathfinder characters, with one major omission: no "trackedresources" node, which is HUGELY disappointing; without it, I have no way of pulling info like how many charges a wand or a magic item like a Healing Belt has. Is there any way to get this included? I'd hate to have to rig up a system to manually add these kinda of resources for tracking...
