So I used the 4E parse utility here in the forums to scrape the compendium using my D&D Insiders subscription. What I as wondering was if it supported dragging and dropping things onto a character sheet during character creation, or if there's just something I'm doing wrong.
For example, using the official 5E content I can drag my class to my character sheet and it will fill in a bunch of info (hit dice, abilities, etc), then I can drag my race over and it will fill in more info (ability score changes, base movement, etc).
However I tested this out using the modules I'd scraped from Wizards and it didn't work. These are the steps I took:
- Opened character sheet.
- Clicked Library.
- Clicked 4E Player's Handbook under Compendium.
- Clicked on Classes.
- Dragged Barbarian to the sheet and released.
Doing the above, nothing happened. Is this by design, or is there something I either need to do differently in setting up this campaign, or something I did wrong when parsing the book? Thanks.
