v13.0.0beta6 (Patreon)

Content

Beta5 introduced a lot of changes compared to beta4 and some of those changes resulted in a lot of bugs: whole subclasses not working, Warlock invocations causing issues, and spells gained from racial features overwriting each other. I fully understand if most people didn't dare test beta5 further after the first couple of issues reared their ugly head, as the sheet became mostly unusable because of it.

So let me present you with the sixth beta! This beta introduces nothing new, but fixes the things that weren't working correctly in beta5. It also comes with a complete overhaul of all classes, subclasses, races, racial variants, and feats! All of those have been checked and updated to the new syntax to make sure everything will work smoothly. As you can probably imagine, this was no small task as there is a lot of content to update.

Over the coming weeks I will also update all the import scripts on my GitHub to the v13 syntax. This will be in a separate folder, as v12.999 is still the latest stable version and I don't want people to lose access to scripts for that version.

Scholar-tier and higher subscribers can also find the latest beta version and the Changelog.pdf in the shared folder on Dropbox/Google Drive.


  • The 'Changes' dialog was showing up even when resetting or importing;
  • Fixed backwards compatibility for prereqevals and automatic class feature choices (thanks Marc and Ben for reporting);
  • Fixed backwards compatibility for the ‘tooltip’ attribute and it wrongly appearing in the action section (thanks Nod for reporting);
  • Fixed spellcastingBonus not showing up if several features with the same name have it (thanks Nod for reporting);
  • Fixed the ‘Racial Options’ button never showing any options (thanks Ben for reporting);
  • Fixed a problem with subclasses that grant spellcasting abilities (thanks Chad and Anthony for reporting);
  • Fix for the bonus skill / tool field not having any value calculated when set through automation (thanks Ted for reporting);
  • Fix for save proficiency by (sub)class features breaking the sheet (thanks Parasitosis for reporting);
  • Fix for the number of attacks of the Specter (thanks Grey Wind for reporting).



Because beta5 had some glaring problems that made it hard to test specifics, I'm again asking all of you to try and make your characters with this new sixth beta so that smaller bugs can also be found.

Again, any feedback will be much appreciated! I genuinely expect this beta still has a couple of weird hidden issues as that is normal after the re-working that went on for beta5.



Just like v13.0.0beta5, this beta can't import a character from one of the previous betas (v13.0.0beta - v13.0.0beta5). 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 v13.0.0beta6 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 please do post or contact me about it.

In the meantime you can create an exclusion in AVG/Avast for a folder where you save your character sheets in. Instructions on how to do so are found here for AVG and found here for Avast.

You are also welcome to send feedback to AVG and Avast regarding these files as more feedback means the files will get a higher priority for them to look at.

This is why we have betas! Thanks for doing what you do, Joost!

Using fresh character sheet of the b6 PFR. Loxodon from the Ravnica Races UA, level 5 monk. Keen Smell doesn't show up in the Senses box. Thanks to backstory the character starts with the Squat Nimbleness feat. Selected and bypassed the racial restriction confirmation box, neither the +5 movement nor the advantage to escape grapples shows up on the first page, and the feat bonus to ability scores doesn't appear on that dialog box either. (Guessing it has something to do with the racial restrictions but that's your area of expertise, heh...)

The pop up for "Changes Requiring Your Attention" can get too long and you can't click on the close button

Thank you for reporting any issues you find with the beta! The Loxodon race never has Keen Smell listed in the senses box, that is not a bug. Nevertheless, it is a good suggestion, so I will make that work like for the next version. When I select Squat Nimbleness, the speed increase shows up on the first page without issue as does the text about the ability score increase. The advantage to escape grapples is not something that is supposed to show up on the first page, as there is nowhere for that to go and that is not going to change. If you are able to reproduce the issue with Squat Nimbleness, I would be very interested to know how. You are also welcome to send me your PDF so that I might figure out how it went wrong.

Thank you for reporting any issues you find with the beta! The dialogs getting to long is an unfortunate side-effect of using these kind of AcroForm dialogs and using lower-resolution screens (or high-resolution screens with higher display scaling settings). As a solution I made sure the dialog has an 'X' at the top with which you can close it. Also, the ESC key on your keyboard will always work to close those dialogs. And, the 'Close' button is highlighted by default, so just pressing the ENTER key will also close the dialog, if you didn't click on any of the buttons in it.

I'm finding that Saving leads to an endlessly hanging 'Save as' window in Acrobat DC (19.008.20080). Using 13.0.0beta5, tried with both printer-friendly versions. I'm hopeful it's a known bug of some kind that will go away if I change a setting somewhere...?

Keep up the good work :)

Can you introduce an option to choose between the DMG Eladrin and the Mordenkainen's Eladrin? Right now the sheet only seems to display Mordenkainen. Also, the Misty Step (Fey Step) feature no longer appears on the spell page. Not sure if that's by design or a bug. Thanks for your work!

The sheet will default to the latest version of something if it exists in multiple sources. The way to make the sheet use the older version is to set the newer version to be excluded using the Source dialog. You can open this dialog with the 'Source Materials' bookmark. Once you have the Source dialog open, click the 'Races' button and you can set which races the sheet should and should not be using. You can also exclude an entire sourcebook, but I assume that is not what you were looking for. The Misty Step is still part of the code of the DMG Eladrin. However, the Eldarin from MToF doesn't get access to the Misty Step spell. It does get an ability named 'Fey Step' that allows you te teleport, but it is not the same as the Misty Step spell and not the same as the DMG Eladrin's Fey Step feature (even though it works almost identically). The DMG version gives you access to a spell, the MToF version gives you an inherit feature.

I'm sorry for not responding sooner, your comment somehow didn't give me any alerts. Might it be that you use AVG or Avast antivirus software? Those will stop you from saving the sheet as they are currently falsely flagging the betas as containing a virus. I hope to have this resolved soon, but it all depends on AVG and Avast and they are not very fast with false positives unfortunately. Other than that I don't know what might be causing this issue. I did before hear about issues with the 'save to online storage' feature of Adobe Acrobat DC that caused issue when saving. Mostly the issue was that saving took an excruciating amount of time (i.e. half an hour). The solution to that was to disable "Show online storage when saving file" in Adobe Acrobat DC settings, which you can find under Edit >> Preference (Ctrl+K) >> General.

Really appreciating the quick fix on that Warlock Invocation issue! I just noticed in Beta 4 (and checked it exists in Beta 6 as well), the short text for Charm Person and Monster spells say when upcast additional targets must be in a 15' radius. This is not the text of the spell. The creatures must be within 30' of each other, so potentially 30' radius. "1+1/SL crea in 15-ft rad save or charmed" Also, what would you say is the best way to manage a race change? My Variant Human became a Yuan-ti, but she does not gain the racial stat adjustments or lose the level 1 feat. I typed in all the Yuan-ti things she got, maybe the other way around would have been better, especially since they have spells...

The reason the Charm Person and Charm Monster spells are written like that (and a couple more) is that writing 'within 30 ft of each other' just didn't fit. All having to be within 30 ft of each other is exactly the same as all having to be within a 15-ft radius, not a 30-ft radius because then they could be 60 ft apart. The way you handled the race change is how I would've done it as well. You might be better off selecting Yuan-ti and then changing the stat bonuses in the Scores dialog, but other than that you don't really need to change anything about the Yuan-ti.

Where is the best place to make a request / suggestion for future features?

Thuergist Wizards do not work, cannot select the Domain for the Theurgist without it throwing up an error.

Thank you for reporting any issues you find with the beta! I have found the culprit why level-dependent attack calculations are not working. I will have it fixed in the next beta :)

Thank you for reporting any issues you find with the beta! I have found the culprit why prestige classes are not working at all in beta6. I will make sure they work in the next beta :)

>>17685406

Thank you for reporting any issues you find with the beta! I don't have any errors appear when selecting a domain for the Theurgist. For me to be able to troubleshoot this and find the bug, can you please answer the following questions: 1) Can you tell me what the error text is? 2) And can you confirm that this is with v13.0.0beta6? 3) Which type of the sheet are you using (Printer Friendly, Colourful-A4, Printer Friendly Redesign, Colourful-Letter)? 4) What classes + level of character were you making (Theurgy level but also any other classes and levels)? 5) What UA source did you use for the Theurgy? You are also welcome to send me a (link to) the PDF where this error is apparent.

Jake, you are welcome to make requests / suggestions here, via email, through a direct message here on Patreon/Twitter/Reddit. You name it! All suggestions are placed on the 'wishlist' and which of those wishes will be implemented next will be brought to a vote here on Patreon for all subscribers. The last vote was a long time ago as then Magic Item support was selected, something that I'm still working on...

Hello, there is any chance that you include the races developed for the plane shift supplements, like the merfolk from Ixalan, that would be great.

You can import any content if you write it into a script that has the proper syntax. Such scripts have been written for all the Plane Shift articles, you can find them through the /r/mpmb subreddit: <a href="https://redd.it/965yoz" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://redd.it/965yoz</a> Just click the bookmark in the PDF that reads "Add Extra Materials" and select "Import a file with additional material". This opens a dialog with which you can import the script files.

Is there a specific setting you have to set the PDF in order for the pages to print with lines on them, or is my printing just not working?

Non of the warforged add their proficiency to their AC. When I type in something in Box 1 it doesnt work either. Box 2 works for though.

morepurplemorebetter
>>18006052

What version of the sheet are you using, the latest beta v13.0.0beta6? When I select one of the warforged from WGtE (so not just "Warforged" but "Warforged, Skirmisher"), the sheet adds the item "Integrated Protection" to a Misc box of the Armour section. You will then see "Prof" written in the box where the numbers go and "Integrated Protection" as its description. Of course, this will only work if there is at least one empty Misc box to add it to. If both Misc entries are filled, it will not add anything. What do you mean with "Box 1" and "Box 2"? Note that if you load all the UA sources as well, you will see the option to select a "Warforged" but that is the version from the UA: Eberron from 2015. You need to select one of the three subraces of Warforged: Envoy, Skirmisher, or Juggernaut. Lastly, the proficiency bonus will only be added to the total AC if you meet all the requirements. That is, if you have proficiency in Light, Medium, and/or Heavy armour and have selected one of the Warforged armours that adds proficieny (Warforged Heavy Plating or Warforged Composite Plating).

I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble printing. Most often this is the result of printing drivers. I have no issue printing the sheet or the lines on it, so this can't be the PDFs fault. However, you can hide all the lines in the PDF using the "Text Options" bookmark. Make sure you have set it to "Show lines for multi-line fields". If you see the lines on your screen than you should be good. All that I can recommend is trying different print settings. Try to print to PDF and see if the lines appear. If they do, it is a setting in your printer preferences that is somehow removing the lines. If they don't, then it is a setting in the Adobe Acrobat printing dialog that is causing the issue. I hope this helps to narrow down the problem.

I had a small question, is there way to add in the Bloodhunter class or is this for a future update down the road....

morepurplemorebetter
>>18241517

There is a way to add the Bloodhunter class. You can add any 3rd-party material by using the "Add Extra Materials" bookmark. With that you can import a 'script' that adds the content you want. For content to be compatible with the sheet, you need it to be written in the right JavaScript syntax. Something written in that syntax is referred to as a 'script' in the sheet. Some things, like the Bloodhunter class, already have scripts written for them by me or fans. You can find most on the /r/mpmb subreddit. The Bloodhunter class you can find on my GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/morepurplemorebetter/MPMBs-Character-Record-Sheet/blob/master/additional%20content/Classes/Blood%20Hunter%20[Matthew%20Mercer's%20work,%20transcribed%20by%20Darryl%20&%20MPMB].js" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/morepurplemorebetter/MPMBs-Character-Record-Sheet/blob/master/additional%20content/Classes/Blood%20Hunter%20[Matthew%20Mercer's%20work,%20transcribed%20by%20Darryl%20&%20MPMB].js</a> If you are looking for more scripts, learning how to make the scripts, or seeking help with how to use them, I can recommend taking a look at the /r/mpmb subreddit: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/mpmb/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.reddit.com/r/mpmb/</a>
