This thing is amazing, thanks. Any chance of getting an output tab like on the original?

Are there any known issues when accessing the calculator via phone?

I've been using the calculator for years on my phone. The Excel app works perfectly fine :)

Excel app, check

*edit* got it to work. Although, when I try to scroll to get to the feat selection part of the (awesome) calculator, it keeps automatically scrolling back. Anyone Else that has this problem ?

Happy holidays, everyone! :)

I am using LibreOffice for context, basically Excel

Review,

After playing around with your CBC, it's overall great! I like that you have adjusted the colors of cells that are protected and which ones are not. It makes it easy to see where I need to input data or use a drop down menu. I also really like that when you make a mistake or do something a cell or the cell will pop up red.

I do think I am experiencing a bug or an oversight. Under the General Feat Column, I am visually unable to tell which cells tell me when I am to pick a new feat. But, if I click down that column Drop Down boxes do show on the appropriate cells I am to pick a feat.

Under the Bonus Feat Column, I am again, visually unable to tell when I am awarded bonus feats... additionally, every box shows a Drop Down when selected and when selecting feats in there. I also do not get a red indicator when putting any feat in this section when I know that feat is not available to me. I.e Craft Wand before level 5.

Also, I could not find a cell to input to indicate the Gift that helps with saves.

It would be pretty cool if there was automatically calculated boxes for: touch AC, ranged touch AC, touch AB, and ranged touch AB.

This could be helpful for warlocks and stuff, or for dodgy character that want no touchy.

So we're very much on track.

This is very cool, but I think I'm seeing a bug.

I've selected Shield Dwarf, it displays the +2 CON and -2 CHA due to race but it is not updating the values in the character level section.

Edit: I'm using Excel 2019

It updated the point cost of these stats and the available stat options in the dropdown menu. I've made it this way so people can compare stat spreads across different races more easily :)

Ah, got ya, so just pick the value from the pulldown for the stat at final value and the cost will reflect the race modified result.

Thanks!

OK, which is correct?

Builder says:

Bard gets ASF Reduction -20% at 3rd level

But the wiki says:

Metamagic: Still Spell 6 Bards gain -20% Arcane Spell Failure on their equipment. Must have at least 6 bard levels, or be a majority class bard.

I think I took Still Spell on my bard, but when I look at my feats I don't see it in the listing?!

Thanks!

Wish I knew this builder was available long ago, would have been such a huge help planning out my characters and learning all the changes for Arelith.

The wiki isn't up to date :) Still Spell isn't required for the Bard ASF reduction anymore. The level requirement for multiclassed bards might be correct though.

Thank you so much for always keeping this up to date. Without this sheet, which I've been using the original since it came out, I'm hopeless at building or figuring out how things work.
