Interest in Character creation software? *New Version 5/2*

[BASHMAN]

I can make "Special Attack" that does +1 DM- but how do I make a different kind of Special Attack?

[BASHMAN]

Wait, I think I got it. I'll post my build in a bit...

Here's my first guy:

In case others have the same question.

When you open the power by double clicking or selecting 'edit' from the popup menu. This is what you'll see:


When you click on one of the options a little spinner will appear on it. Like so:


If the option has a numeric value or a list of options you can click on the spinner to increase or decrease the value.

If you double click an option it will open it's edit window. Here I've double clicked on the Mid Range option.


Hitting the drop down button shows the available values:

Here's my first guy:

It's fairly easy to create print templates so I'm open to creating custom sheets. The graphic bar on AslanC's zenith comics sheets are an example of something easy to do.

I could also do a sheet that would print a graphic instead of text for the character's name. So you could create the fancy font look for the name.

[Alric]

You could also use the text filter to export the character to your favorite layout program for spiffing up.

[BASHMAN]

Here's my second one.

For the weapon technique if you double click on the text that says "Enter Weapon Type Here" you'll see:



You can edit the text to reflect the appropriate weapon.

For Example:

Sweetness! Nice work, Alric! I whipped up a character, but am still working out my problems with posting.

Looks good! I look forward to the Multi-Power functionality, but in the meantime this looks GREAT!

Question: Is there a way to specify the weapon group for weapon technique? I see the spinner that says "enter weapon type here," but it doesn't seem to work.

Question: Is it doing skills correctly? This may be a BASH! question rather than a Metacreator question. When you take Skillful - does that mean one extra mental and one extra physical skill per level of Skillful, or does it mean 2 extra skill selections that can apply to EITHER mental or physical? I always assumed that you could allocate these to EITHER category. I'm not sure, but the template seems to be forcing me to take one in each. Actually, it's kind of buggy. Now that I look at it, it doesn't seem to be adding the extra skill selections at all.

Anyway, this is just constructive feedback. I'm really quite impressed with what you've done here.

Best,

Oops! I was typing while you were answering the issue regarding Weapon Technique. Thanks for clearing that up!

Best,

Looks like I need to create a second page if the text is too long for the story box. I also need to tighten up some of the option text +1 Defense roll should be "+1 def".

Skillful! CRAP! That's the other thing that needs to be done. Skillful creates a pool of points that can purchase either type. As a work around you can purchase as many skills as you want it will just display that you've taken too many.

here is my first attempt at using the BASH character creator tool...

Wow! this makes creating characters so much easier!! Thanks for putting this together Alric!!

I just have to figure out to to subtract the -1 off of my points for conjuring since it is a -1 gadget and "The Masked Wonder" is only a 25 poijnt character

[AslanC]

Nice costume!

Yikes! There's a bug. I take a look at it.
