[5E OGL] Customization Limitations

January 13 (6 years ago)

Edited January 13 (6 years ago)

As somebody who spends way too much time trying to customize sheets and automate everything with macros, despite my poor skills, I've noticed a few things the sheet does NOT do/allow.

1. Toggling Advantage/Disadvantage doesn't work on Initiative or Death Saves.

2. You can add a Global Modifier for Skill Checks (such as Athletics), but not Ability Checks, (such as a Wisdom roll). This seems to be the only area where you can't add a Global Modifier?

3. Although we can edit Attacks and Spells in many useful ways, we can't edit Skills, aside from Jack of All Trades / Expertise. I found a useful macro for the Rogue's Reliable Talent feature, but I really wish I could just edit the core macro of the skill to integrate it that way, rather than having to create a secondary macro button.

Hi Duncan,

Thanks for your feedback. I have copied your post over to the thread dedicated to the sheet, which is monitored by the dev team directly. It will have higher visibility there, as well as to other users who have the same issues or have found workarounds. Since you can follow the progress there, I will close this thread.
