Maintaining Functionality : Ensuring all features from the 2014 sheet were supported. Enhancing the Character Builder : Leveling up the character creation experience. Supporting Diverse Content : Building with the foresight to handle first-party, third-party, and homebrew content seamlessly. Well, this is a funny joke. Where are the customizable data fields like damage dice, core dice roll, or descriptions that could contain chat code like inline rolls? Where are all the missing attributes? Where is dragging buttons to a macro quickbar? Where are the templates? Where is the customization for first-party, third party, and homebrew content? If these really were the goals and not just jokes, then those goals certainly were not met.
