After almost 2 months, it is finally here: version 12.998!
🕑 Added 2017-09-22 12:10:50 +0000 UTC It has been almost two full month without any updates, another first in the life of MPMBs Character Sheets, but unfortunately not a positive one.As you might have read in my previous post on Patreon, this update has taken so much time because I have gone back into the code and changed some fundamental things.
There are a load of new features in this sheet, explained below, but generally what they do is make the sheet better deal with the removal of features like languages, tools, damage resistances, damage immunities, condition immunities, vision types, different ranges of a vision type, and speeds. Normally you won't be removing things that grant these things often from your character, but all that will change when functionality for Magic Items is added to the sheet.
In summation, you can think of this update to the sheet as a pre-magic item update.
Please test out the new features and give feedback on any issues you find with the sheet. I have tested everything, but I can't test every scenario, or you would have to wait another couple of months.
Important note: If you are using content from the Fan-Made Additions Dropbox or GitHub folder, make sure you grab the latest version of that as well!

Sorry for taking so crazy long to get back to you. I'm finally going over all the bug reports that have been waiting for me until I had time to look at them. I'm unable to recreate the issue you are describing. Can you reproduce this issue when starting from a fresh, just downloaded sheet? Because then I would definitely be interested. If not, I would still like to take a look to see what the issue is. Can you send me the sheet(s) you are having this problem with?

Sorry for taking so crazy long to get back to you. I'm finally going over all the bug reports that have been waiting. I have found the issue and it only pertains to the Colourful versions of the sheet, that's why not many more people have reported it. Thank you very much for taking the time to report this issue. It will be fixed in the next version, v12.999!

I'd like to give a little feedback. I marked the option "Use Spell Points instead of Spell Slots" just to see what it would change in my Spell Sheet (I was looking for the Psionic Points). But after I changed to that, even if I uncheck the option, or if I mark the option "On Spell Sheet" for "Where to Show Spell Slots (Spell Points)", the Table generated for Spell Points Cost won't disappear. If I check the option to convert back to Spell Slots, they'll overlap, causing both strings be written on top of one another. I tried deleting the Spell Sheet, regenerating it and even create a blank one, to fill it from scratch. Neither of this worked. While this isn't a particular problem for me, since I'm using a Mystic, this might be a problem to other people who mistakingly marked that option.

For some reason in 12.998 I can't seem to open Spell Options to switch to Spell Points? It's the only dialogue option that doesn't seem to open for me.

Huzzah! Breaking into that next level is a small testament to how much we as a community appreciate and utilize your amazing creation.
Jacob
Congrats on breaking the $700/mo barrier, it's a testament to how many of us now have come to enjoy, and dare I say rely on, your sheets.

That is indeed supposed to happen as the archaeologist has a signature item just like a criminal has a speciality
Nod
Awesome! Already see one possible error-- when I choose the Archeologist background the submenu lists equipment options, is that supposed to happen?
Erik T.
A thought, should reaction spells get added to the Reaction box on page 1? I know that could end up being a lot of reactions, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
Erik T.
I'm so excited by all the new info that I had to up my pledge. You rock MPMB!

There is a way to import a character from another version of the sheet into the new version. Go to the button "Import" or the bookmark "Import/Export" and in the menu that appears, select "Import Directly from PDF".
Carole Oliver
Very awesome but a question - is there an easy way to convert sheets from an older version to a newer one, or do you just have to start over again with the new sheet? I have 21 character sheets I'm maintaining across various groups and it would be great if there was an import old sheet or something I might have missed. Thanks!

Thanks MPMB!!!
