Also, is it possible to have a fuller monster entry page? When I saw I had some monsters missing I started trying to enter my own, but

https://complete-reference.com/DD5creator/monster.php

doesn't have AC, STR etc like the Character creator does, which I find to be enormously helpful!

I've updated the entries in my copy, but I don't know how to upload them to here, if anyone wants them. Also I don't know how to set 1/4, 1/8 etc, so I've left them as 1.

Anyone working on, or have, updated UA content? Specifically the new feats for skills and racial feats? Thank you.

The app is great and I've been using it a lot, but I've got a problem:

After downloading Pixel's classes, I now have a duplicate of every class and every template with just a minor formatting change in the name so they're not overwritten. The same problem appears with Pixel's races. All I wanted was the Warlock, Undying Light UA and now I've got lots of duplicate entries that are irritating to scroll past. Fixing it means going into over 70 entries one by one to delete them by hand. Dev, we'd love to get a delete multiple option, or better yet, can everyone just fix your formatting? Class, Archetype works very well. Most if not all the Class: Archetype entries also include the entire Base Class Features at the bottom which I find to be unwieldy and redundant.

For example, I have:
Barbarian Berserker
Barbarian: Path of the Berserker
Bard, College of Lore
Bard: College of Lore
Cleric, Arcana
Cleric: Arcana Domain
Warlock - The Archfey
Warlock, Archfey
Warlock: Archfey

Lastly, there are several class archetypes that are listed as base classes. Great work and thanks, but let's get these right!

Good points, I am working on some handy select and delete functionality in the list view such that cleaning up becomes easier.

@MostlyHarmless, I put a dash in all of my entries to differentiate them from all of the others.

You may have noticed that there's a Warlock entry with a dash for every archetype except the Undying and Undying Light; that's because everything I do has at least something new in it, such as pact-specific Invocations at the end, and there was nothing for me to add to the Undying entries.

Sorry for any headaches you may have gotten lol.

When I long-press on an entry to start multi-deleting, it automatically highlights other entries as well. Is this just a visual bug, or is it really selecting those, too?
It seems to auto-select every 10th entry, so maybe the program is only reading the ones-digit or something?

Interesting...
I will need to look into this, to be on the safe side I would not delete it if you see additional entries checked.
It should only select those you actually click.

Thanks for the feedback mrrockitt!

@anciantwizard: the mult-delete is safe to use, its only a display bug.
I will fix now, it will be released in a few days.

Hi, I'm new to this app, and don't really know my way around it. I am looking to use the Encounter Tools as more of an Encounter Manager. It would simplify the encounters that my party runs into. "Encounter #1, let's see, I have a dozen zombies and a Necromancer. OK, I have their stats, and they are in this room, etc." That would be ideal for me.

That feature is not there yet, but it is on my todo list!
I thought about this as well, and think that I will expand the initiative manager to save lists. That would allow you to prepare multiple battles in advance.

The Saving Throws field seems to be missing. It may be combined in another field, but, I couldn't find it. Future update?

The Initiative Tracker seems to be too dependent on a dice roll done by the app. It will blank out the rest of the fields if you modify it at all. Also, the weapon and armor lists in the character manager don't update attack and to-hit bonuses. (That might be a bit of an ask)

Did the Curse of Strahd stuff ever get added in? I searched the whole thread, but didn't see it.

Thanks!!

Is there a way to add Deities or Rules? I can see where I can only edit them in the app and there's no place on the creator online.
