Hi Tal, and sorry for being a bit slow to respond, but thank you for your comments.

On (1), you can add multiple knowledge skills on the d20 character sheet by just filling in the underlined area next to the "Knowledge" label and it will then create a new blank Knowledge entry for you.

On (2), I can see where you are coming from (and I think the notes icon is a helpful addition), but it is also a matter of personal preference to some extent. Notes content doesn't print out on the HTML version, for example, so a blank box is more useful unless lots of info is going to be entered.

On (3), I think I agree. We spotted this after it was launched, and although you can still do the math yourself, it might have been nice in hindsight to have a helping hand.

On (4), this feature is available in the Mac/Windows versions, but the iPad platform doesn't make this very easy for products that have their own custom user interface (like this one). It is on the list of things to investigate for the next upgrade!

I'm glad you're enjoying it,

Stuart

On a separate note, just a quick update to say that the Mac version is now available on the Mac App Store, completing the iPad/Windows/Mac line-up for our character sheet.

So I looked through the thread, watched the preview video and didn't see this addressed so I'd like to ask a question;

In case of certain feats, abilities, or whatever that allow you to use a non standard ability score for various, such as using your dex mod for attacks with weapon finesse, or use dex for jump instead of str (or wis for acrobatics in case of pathfinder) is it possible for the player to adjust which stat the character sheet pulls from when calculating bonuses?

No this isn't available as an automated feature, but each attack, skill, save etc has at least one 'misc' field, so manual adjustments can be entered and will be retained for subsequent rolls.

Purchased. There seems to be an error when I try to enter in a height on the Pathfinder sheet. It keeps the field hi lighted and doesn't let you enter in any information into it.

Issue identified and fixed (it happened when you tabbed from field to field using the -> and <- keys). Sorry for the small hiccough, we'll upload the fixed version (2.0.1) to iTunes App Store and you should get an automatic update notice on your iPad once we've been back through the submission process.

Hmm,I got the issue to reprouce once, and had to restart the app (double-tap the iPad Home button, tap and hold the iCS d20 icon and then tap the red 'minus' button). However it didn't seem to reoccur thereafter.

Please would you email support (at) digitaladventures.net and we'll get straight on it?

Looks great. Very intuitive and simple to use. LOVE that you can click on certain stats and get a roll that incorporates the modifiers of that stat. And thanks so much for making it Mac/iPad compatible.

Thank you! Being multi-platform has constrained our design choices a bit (like no support for swiping left and right between sheet tabs on the iPad, because there is no equivalent gesture for the PC), but it opens up the audience a bit. Once there is a workable API for Windows to access iCloud, you can expect us to try integrating that too, so your characters will be available on all your devices. Just waiting on the guys from Cupertino to do their stuff...

Question 1: I see that you can add formulas to the die roller. Can I save them? So, for example, can I have a list of different attacks: long sword w/ power attack, long sword w/ sneak attack, long sword w/ power attack and sneak attack, so I don't have to retype them each time? Or iterative 1 primary, iterative 1, off-hand, iterative 2 primary, etc. Also, I tend to roll hit and damage at the same time to save time. Is there any way to roll two formula at the same time, say different color dice? This might also come up with add-on damage, 1d6 + 1d6 cold; is there any way for me to flag one d6 as the "cold d6" in case I have to know that part separate? Again, maybe being able to specify the color of a particular die would do the trick

You can't save formulae in this version. We thought about it, but were running out of screen space, so we'llneed to give it some more thought. It is definately on the forthcoming features list.

It *is* possible to roll dice of two colours, by putting the colour in brackets after the dice formula: 2d6+1d6(blue). It doesn't, however, show the results of each die separately after they've faded from the screen. More for us to think about!

Question 2: I know this is a character sheet, not necessarily a character builder with all the data for classes, spells, etc. built in (i.e., it's up to me to fill in the lines correctly :) ). Would you ever consider evolving this to a character builder? For example, in your spells example, you show the pop up where I can enter the details of my spells. Would you ever produce an upgrade or companion product so I could pick spells from a list and they'd auto-fill with the details? Magic items would be another thing I'd love to see auto-fill, with their effects automatically distributing throughout the sheet.

Right now we're not thinking of extending this to be a character builder. That is a whole different board game and requires stacks of effort to keep it current and applicable to all the d20 variants. You can, however, copyand paste text into the app to fill in your spell descriptions etc.

We may add PDF viewer or text versions of OGL rule material, but that is a little way off, and mainly just blue sky at the moment.

What's the outlook for Android-platform support?

I'd love to see this on my Galaxy Tab.

Right now, three platforms is enough for us to support at once. The Android platform is on our R&D list, however, but don't expect it in the next 12 months at least.

Stuart

Hate to ask the rude question, but how much would this cost?

I think it will be priced at $3.99, in common with the other iCharacter Sheet products. That price is for a single user on a single platform*.

Hope that helps

*For iOS/Mac, this is a single App Store purchase, which can usually be installed on multiple devices tied to the same App Store account (multiple Macs or Multiple iPads, not a mixture of both). For Windows, this is a single install which uses an activation key system. Windows installs are machine-specific and are only available to one user on that machine.

Just a quick update to say this product is very near release: the Windows version is poised to be posted on RPGNow/DriveThruRPG, and just needs a bit more testing. The Mac/iPad versions will be available soon, but the App Store submission process takes longer than releasing a product via RPGNow.

The Class/Deity bug on the HTML output is now fixed, and the dice are rolling...

In reply to the d20/PFRPG question, this product switches skill names and skill calculations when a character is switched between pure d20 and PFRPG. It also has a permanent area for Combat Maneuvers.

Watch this space!
