Pathbuilder 2e Web Version
🕑 Added 2021-03-26 09:18:10 +0000 UTCHello Patrons.
I've completed stage 1 of the web version of Pathbuilder 2e - which is pretty much what free users will experience. There was a slight delay as I decided to take some time off before launching - I needed to restore some sanity after lockdown.
Please do not share it on reddit etc yet, I want to see how it goes with a very small test group first, and see how well the server copes. I'll probably let them know in a week or two if it works fine.
There is a fairly substantial wait when the app loads for the first time as it caches everything, but runs smoothly once that is done. Subsequent page loads should be faster - unless there has been an update.
The app saves character files to the browser cache, so clearing site data will delete your characters - although you can import and export the character database to backup. If the android version is anything to go by, there will be literally millions of characters generated over the lifetime of the app, and this approach allows me to have a freemium model without worrying too much about server costs and hosting that many characters. Further options for cloud saving will come soon (particularly gdrive linking up with the android builds).

As ever, thank you for your patronage.

Few more ideas/comments: 1. Playing an Oracle, once I choose a Signature spell it would be great if it would appear for all the required spell levels. 2. For Oracle it would be great to have a curse progression tracking somehow, e.x. button for "Refocus" that would gain the focus point and reduce the curse and some tracker of the curse

Love the web app so far! Been hoping to see something like this for some time! My players also really love it. If I can add one piece of feedback though, I think it'd be nice for Perception and hero points to be up near AC or the saving throws. I get why they're there, but they're very common things and they're a little hidden in the offense tab
