First of all: Hi, everyone, nice place you have here. I've been playing various systems for quite some time, but always physical. With D&D5 finally out in Germany I'm looking into using roll20 in the future and so far I really like it. Of course I stumbled upon the compendium and I see, that it is a very powerful tool. I managed to gather from the wiki, that it's not complete, due to rights issues and that's fine. I have the books here and can add whatever I need by hand. My question, though, concerns things that are in the compendium but don't work as I assumed they would, so I'd like to ask for either correction, if I'm making a mistake, or, possibly, clarification as to why it is how it is. My main points so far are races and backgrounds compared to classes. All three go straight to the basics of character creation, modifying attributes, perks and saving throws. Yet the only variable of those to actually carry any automatic modifications is the class (there's a drop down on the OGL character sheet). The modifications from race and, to a lesser extent, background have to be carried over by hand. I'm not complaining or anything, I'm totally fine with writing stuff in by hand, I just wondered why class gets the simplified solution of self calculation, whereas race and background don't. P.S. I assume background is not as big a deal, since most aren't in the compendium anyways. Edit: TLDR: Why can I pick class from a drop down menu and get automated values for equipment/spells via drag&drop, but can't do either for race and background.
