Are the Hexblade Curse and Hex feats in the spreadsheet and I just can't find them?
They're available in the bonus feat column on levels you receive a bonus feat.

I am not getting any drop downs when using this sheet. Very odd. Hopefully there is an easy fix. I would like to plan out my characters.

The big skill update should be included, but many more recent updates are not. I'll have to update the sheet soon! :D

I noticed it's possible in the sheet to take the fighter feat "Epic Second Wind" on non-fighter levels. But in reality this is not possible.

Epic Second Wind can only be picked on a Fighter level.

Good to know, I'll include a fix in an upcoming update.

Build calculator updated with the recently announced changes, a new dark theme and more!
The old colorful theme will be retired. I will link a last, presently up to date version in the original post.

Code: Select all

New Features:
- Warlock: New base class included
- Invisible Blade: Class rework included
- Avariel and Aquatic Elf subraces added
- Dark Theme! Finally less eye strain :D
- AC Calculation expanded: Item types can now be specified in Gear Calculator
  > The AC column will show a character's final AC if Gear Calculator is enabled.
  > Expertise AC is displayed as "situational" AC. For example, 50/10 means 50 constant AC, +10 with Improved Expertise)
- Performance improvements: File size reduced by 15%!

Adjustments:
- Cavalier: Automatically gains Weapon of Choice: Lance at level 8
- Cleric: Moved domains from selectable bonus feats to class feat list
- Commoner: Added multiclass limitations
- Blackguard: Removed Hide & Move Silently as class skills
- Hexblade: Included today's updated class feat requirements.
- Ranger/RDD: Added Climb bonuses
- Weapon Master: Feats list updated and level 10 AB bonus replaced with free Epic Prowess
- Archer path: Removed Craft Ammunition feats (they are now granted by weapon foci)
- Feylock Path: Woodland Stride added
- Ambidexterity: DEX requirement lowered to 13
- Epic Second Wind: Now only selectable on Fighter levels
- Epic Planar Turning: Stat prerequisites lowered
- Sail skill: Now available to all classes
- Skills and skill feats reordered alphabetically

Fixes:
- Fixed ECL+3 races being unable to select a minor gift
Feedback is always welcome. Have fun! :)

Re: Kalo's Arelith Build & Gear Calculator (CBC Edit)

First off: Love the update.

However, I am having some issues with the AC calculator. I am working on a Divine AA (Archer/Paladin/AA), I have High Dex, Armor Skin, and Tumble cc'd, and Divine Shield.

Without gear, the math works out:
10 Base + 8 Dex + 2 Armor Skin + 3 Tumble (cc) = 23

However, when I add gear, it comes out low. Doing out the math, I should have 57 AC:
10 Base + 14 Dex + 2 Armor Skin + 3 Tumble (cc) + 4 Ranger's Runic Vestment + 2 Headband of Protection + 1 Boots + 5 Barkskin + 4 Blinding Speed + 2 Shield + 1 Mage Armor + 9 Divine Shield.

However, the sheet displays 44 AC.

I have the armor type set to (Cloth (0 AC)). L.Hand is set to "Weapon". In the AC column, I have 2 in the Helmet Row, 4 in the Armor row, R in the Boot row and 21 in the Spells row (Barks, Blinding Speed, Shield, Mage Armor, Divine Shield).

Let me know if you need more info or some screenshots.

EDIT: I think I determined the issue, the sheet seems to be dropping the DEX modifier when "Gear Calc Enabled" is set to "1". It also seems to be picking up an extra +1 from somewhere, since, when I remove all values in the AC column, but leave everything in the DEX column, my AC is 16, which is 1 higher than my AC with just Tumble and Armor Skin would be.

It's possible that an IF statement concerning the "Gear Calc Enabled" value is also targeting that cell instead of the DEX Modifier cell in the subsequent equation. That would account for both the loss of the DEX Mod and the random +1.
Characters:
- Eleanor Allias, Paladin of Selûne

Former:
- Mather Allias, Elrith Ferein, Simone Beregnor-Springscar, Thalia Loreas

Thanks for reporting this. I'm gonna have to have a closer look at this at some point, but for now I'll need to focus on warlocks :)

I love this. However, in the "Feats" drop downs, when I try to choose this it just says 'loading' and never loads anything. How do I get it to show the feats ?

I'm not sure what's up there. Are you using Microsoft Excel to edit this?

There's too much going on with this document for Google Sheets to handle - even the original this one is based off of. Unfortunately it just doesn't really work in a number of ways. I'd say it's Microsoft Excel compatible only.

So we're very much on track.

BUG REPORT

Current version seems to not account for 9th level spells from 17 wizard making epic spell focus options show as invalid when they should be valid.

Zhentarim Naug-adar does not grant skill focus: lore as intended.

Also arcane spell class increase to wizards are not calculated for spell levels from Zhentarim Naug-adar or lore master.
