[Burning Wheel] Sheet Proposed Update

Edited 1458355887
Hi, I has hopping the BW sheet would be updated to fix/improve a couple of things with the difficulty computation. 1: This is a bug: On "Being Learned" skills, the difficulty of the is computed before the obstacle is doubled. page 50 of BWG: "If the obstacle would count as routine (...) you note a test for learning the skill. lf the Beginner's Luck test, before doubling , would count as difficult or challenging for the stat.". Currently the sheet computes the obstacle the same way as a normal skill, which "boosts" the difficulty presented. 2: This was just a though (also about advancement): Since helper's also advance... but the difficulty is computed based only on the helper's exponent (page 46 "The level of the test is the same as if he had tested against the obstacle with his own ability"), I was thinking skills/stats could have a small "help" button that just asks for obstacle, doesn't roll anything , but outputs the difficulty. 3: This is less important: "Perception, Resources and Faith tests must be successful to count towards advancement"... Players (and GM's) tend to forget this... maybe add a "warning line" when those attributes are rolled? Props to the Steve K. for the awesome sheet.
Hello there, I agree with No. 1 above. For beginner's luck tests, difficulty rating should be calculated without the double base obstacle rule: (number of dices rolled) vs. (base dif)+(disadvantages). Then the success state can be checked against (number of dices rolled) vs. (base dif)x2 + (disadvantages).
4: another minor bug to fix: on the man stock stat pool by age calculator... on the age range 17-25 if sets the pool below to 15, even though it says 16 (as it should) P.S. I just triped on this one... don't know how accurate the rest of the table is
