If you'll remember, I blogged on July 22nd that the D&D online character sheets were almost done. The initial version is finally done, despite a few setbacks (I accidentally deleted some changes instead of commiting them). There's a few things to keep in mind:
- Registration is required (you must be logged-in).
- No actual calculations are performed
- Some values are automatically filled: basically anything that goes off an ability modifier (they're all marked as read-only)
- No ability modifiers are updated for skills
Here's the plans for future upgrades:
- AJAX
- auto-save changes regularly (every minute, or maybe 5 minutes)
- Main section calculations
- Classes
- System for showing multiple classes with specific levels
- Display all classes + levels on main sheet
- Skills
- Create default list
- Use drop-down to select ability modifier
- generate total class / cross-class totals
- Modifiers
- Generic modifier system to show what the miscellaneous, temporary, magical, etc modifiers are from
- predefined modifiers for specific classes
- predefined size modifiers
- predefined modifiers for race
But there are bigger plans, extending beyond the character sheet itself:
- Monster character sheets
- Spell lists (with links from character sheets)
- Battle tracker
That's all I've got for now. Stay tuned!
