v13.0.0beta5 (Patreon)
Content
This beta introduces a rewrite of many basic functions of the sheet. I have gone back to restructure the way changing levels works, how subclasses are selected, how armour, weapon and skill proficiencies are loaded, and how the attributes of background, race, racial features, feats, classes, and class features are handled.
On top of that, there are some interesting new features:
- Reworked Ability Scores dialog;
- A dialog that reminds you of changes that need your attention. This dialog is a replacement of the dialog that warned you about the experience points needing changing because you changed the level, as well as a replacement of the dialog that warned you about the need for updating the spell sheets. This new dialog shows you the changes in skill proficiencies, ability scores, spellcasting, hit points, experience points, and things affecting attack calculations.
The rest of the important changes can be found in the download post for the beta, see below. You can find a full list of changes in the Changelog.pdf, also attached to the download post for the beta.

Scholar-tier and higher subscribers can also find the latest beta version and the Changelog.pdf in the shared folder on Dropbox/Google Drive.
Because there was a lot of ground to cover, this rewrite has taken quite some time and is bound to have some issues. I have tested all the changes as best I could in the time allotted, but I can never test all options fully. This is where you come in!
So I'm asking again, please try out v13.0.0beta5 and see if you can find bugs in its workings. Any feedback will be much appreciated! I genuinely expect this beta to have a lot of weird hidden issues as that is normal with such a reworking from the ground up.
This beta can't import a character from one of the older betas (v13.0.0beta - v13.0.0beta4). This is a precaution, not a bug! This is done because the sheet can't accommodate all the intermediary changes that I had implemented in the other betas without being too convoluted. You will be able to import from v12.999 and older sheets, as well as from another v13.0.0beta5 pdf.
By now an unfortunate recurring theme in these updates to the sheets. Both Avast and AVG are again falsely flagging this new beta as containing a virus. I will again contact both Avast and AVG about these false positives and hopefully they will resolve it. As previous experience has shown, this can take several weeks.
Please do not post or contact me about AVG or Avast finding a virus in this beta until there is reason to believe they have resolved the issue. I will make a post once I get feedback from AVG and/or Avast that the problem has been dealt with. If the false virus warnings continue for you after that, then you are welcome to post or contact me about it.
