Hi how does the custom link to topic feature work? I'm trying to work on the Blood Hunter (by Matthew Mercer of Critical Role), & its related archetypes and would love to share them. Thanks

Is the list of magic items complete? I am missing the weapon of alertness for example.

You can add custom links to other content by adding a link with the following url convention : "http://type.com/Item Name"


Where type can be any of the following: spell, monster, class, race, item, equipment, rule, location, story

And the item name should be written exactly as the item (or other content) you want to link to.

OK thank you I had been typing it the wrong way. What are the differences between choosing a title or not & target - none vs target - new window?

Hi,

Important questions.

1. In the custom creator is there a way to only download specific files? Like a pick and choose feature?

In both the "Items" & "Monsters" Categories, there are duplicate categories linking to the same group. For example, in the items tab, there is the selection: "Wondrous", "Wondrous Item", & "Wondrous Items". When checking all three they have the same items, and the favorited items appear as favorited throughout all three sections. On the Monster Section, there are copies of the different monster types, with a lowercase & uppercase copy (ex. "celestials" & "Celestials").
I'm not sure what or why, but if that could be checked out that would be awesome. This is definately my go to app for 5e.

2nd. On the Character Creation, is there a way to show a base Racial & Class stats section at the start of the creation menu and/or in the character sheet itself for the race stats? Perhaps something like the Backgrounds section where you can open that up when you pick a background.
3rd. Is there a way to implement the Ability Scores & Skills from classes, races & backgrounds, automatically upon selection? Especially on the ability score side.

Also is there any progress/thoughts on an Iphone version? My gaming group has Iphones and nothing that I'm seeing on Itunes is coming close to this app.

I've downloaded all the files and I'm pretty certain I don't have all the feats/skills. Even dodge isn't showing up. Although there are most of them. Any ideas?

Bas van Stein wrote:@anciantwizard, I added the Mystic and Artificer in the select boxes for next update.
I will also assign the Artificer to the spells already loaded in the standard database in the next release.
Downloaded the update, and I see the Artificer stuff in the app, but nothing about Mystics, Disciplines, or Psionics.

Like I said, I think it'd be best to have a whole new type category for psionics, separate from spells and everything else so all those entries don't gum up the spells list or whatever.

You may have some things mixed up. Dodge is neither a feat, nor a skill; it is a basic action which anyone can use. That would be found under the Rules section (movement and position).

I know, I also want a complete new category, that is exactly why it is not there yet.
I need some more time, and hope that in the meantime the psionics are out of playtest.

UPDATE - This file is now outdated! These and many more UA archetypes are now included in my post 184 on the 8th page.

Weird that no one's been posting UA content lately.
Oh well, here's all of the new UA archetypes since 3-20.

- War Mage Wizard
- all 3 of the "Trio of Subclasses" (drunken monk, redemption paly, monster slayer ranger)
- Revised Subclasses (anc. guard. barb, swords bard, arcane archer fighter, kensei monk, & favored soul sorc), all with 2.0 at the end of their titles, or 3.0 in the sorc's case.
- minor fixes to my previous entries (warlocks and lore wizard)


I went ahead and deleted yesterday's post to make clear that this is different.


Next up: Feats!
Edit:
I just realized that the war mage had the wrong heading. Fixed and re-uploaded.

Edit 2:
I did that ^ on my phone and it seems to have botched it somehow. Re-uploaded again on a computer. That should be everything.

Afaik, the only magic item download thus far just has the Alchemy Jug. I guess no one wants to compile that whole list lol.

@anciantwizard, awesome work!
I will have a look at magic item lists myself to see if I can do any extraction into importable files.

Don't worry about that, just get us that Psionics category! :)

Hey man, thanks for doing this. However, it is telling me that no app I have can open it when I download yours. I noticed that the other downloads for 5e have the extension of "dd35", whereas this one is only "dd5". Could this be an issue? I have never used the 3.5e version of the app, and have had the 5e version working great for several months now.

Thanks again for putting this together.

I just re-uploaded it from a pc instead of my phone. Works for me now.
Let me know if there's still something wrong.

Odd that none of the other ~20 downloaders mentioned anything being wrong. Come on, guys, speak up if there are problems!

The MissingMonsters I just downloaded and installed and it seems to be missing/incorrect Challenge Rating on most/all the monsters enclosed for the filter. The actual entry when you open the monster seems to be correct, it's just the value used for searching and filtering that is wrong. I just bought the official monster manual and the Death Knight in the file says CR0 where the manual says 17, but the file's entry actually has the correct value. This needs a good kicking till it's all fixed up. Any volunteers?

This app is a live saver :)
