This is mostly why I think spell healing should be displayed in the app. The coach needs to write it on the party card.

So let me see if I understand this. Druegar makes a small change to the party card, and I get a bunch of work...
Hmmmm...

(just kidding )

There may be other changes. Remember, class cards are being revised.

Now you're just showing off.

No, just trying to save you a little grief.

Something I thought would be helpful:

Since there are so many ways to get free action and no surprise, I've sometimes given it to myself twice. It would be cool to make the values no/yes/yes x2 or something so I'd know I messed up.

Instead of ten different CoS, maybe just a spinner for # of CoS in Party? Choosing CoS(10) should make 1-9 unavailable, but I suppose that if you skip that bit of coding, ten CoS entries might be easier. Who is going to try to wear 8 charms? "No software can ever be foolproof, because fools are so ingenious..."

In my perfect world, the app would tell you what set bonuses you have, with a ? icon to bring up a description of it.

But honestly, I love the app even without those tweaks.

I know. I was just trying to be funny and probably missing the mark.

You do an excellent job keeping the token database, party card and all the guides and manuals coordinated!

This makes the stats code more complicated than you think. It's all set up as boolean. Several layers would have to change to make this happen. It could also get complicated for coaches. I will look at it, but no promises.

The whole CoS request has one big issue. As a player, you can choose whatever you want for the count. It does not rely on any other build. The coaches rely on the accuracy of the app, and the app has no way to verify the count.

Not a bad idea, but I am back to the screen space issue. I hesitate to create a third stat page, but I may have to with requests to add new stats and info.

Who's Yer Con will be a good time for me to check in with the coaches to get their opinion on some of the items brought up recently.

Thank you for the ideas!

Coaches don't care about HP, so it's probably the one calculation where you can take some liberties

In preparing my builds for WYC I noticed the +1 War sling is giving my druid build +1 to melee attacks instead of ranged.

Here is the list of known issues on the Character Generator app:

1. Alignment issue with Free Action on Page 2 (Android only)
2. Plate Armor of Attack does not prevent shield equip
3. Charm of the Lava Fiend add
4. Drow Cammander's Gloves add
5. Correct text on Belt of Vitality (says +2 and should be +3)
6. Shirt of Baneful Prowess should be +2 strength
7. Teeth of Cavadar modified to just be total number of teeth
8. Charm of Synergy changed to be total number in the party
9. +1 Thrall Kris needs to be added to Ranger offhand
10. Add healing bonus stat
11. +1 War Sling adds +1 to wrong stat
12. Add 3rd stat page with active set bonus list
13. Creeper Robe is set to Back instead of Armor
14. Darkling Shadow Armor added for Druid, Bard and Rogue
15. New Character Card modifications
16. New Party Card modifications

There was a request to highlight items like Free Action and Surprise, if multiple items are equipped with the same benefit to help prevent doubling up. There is definitely some work for this, and is being considered.

The next release will not happen until after the new character cards and related updated party card are released.

I'm not sure if it was your app but there was one specifically that never properly showed Free Action when wearing the new rare pants.
