HP Attribute and Modifier

Hello,
How can I make the character sheet calculate the max hp on the attributes and abilities tab?

The list on the attributes and abilities should be largely ignored when you are using a character sheet. Many attributes will never show up there. If Max HP is an autocalc field, there's no way to make it appear there.


That list is a legacy feature dating from the time before we had character sheets. While it's not completely obsolete, you should never assume something isn't working right because an attribute isn't showing properly there.

And is there any way to make the Max HP calculation automatic?

Are you creating your own sheet?

If so, there are two ways, using Autocalc fields and sheet workers- the latter are harder to write, but are better (and will show up in the attributes list!)

If you are using a sheet someone else has designed, either that have beuilt in some method, or you can periodically run a macro that tells you what the maximum should be, and enter the value manually.
