Aloha,
Following the wiki on Character Creation it says..
"Add Class
We are now, finally, ready to get our class into the sheet; back in the library, click on classes and drag 'Cleric' into the 'Class & Level' section on the Main tab of the character sheet. You will get a pop up asking you to select two skills. We already got 'Insight' and 'Religion' from our background so let's select 'History' and 'Medicine'. Click on the tick and another selection box will appear. This time select 'Life Domain' and click the tick to finish. As before many changes have automatically been made. We now have hit points, more class features, some proficiencies and languages. Also note that the stars next to WIS and CHA saving throws have lit up showing that we have proficiency with saving throws involving those abilities."
I did this and when I got to the "so let's select 'History' and 'Medicine'. Click on the tick and another selection box will appear. This time select 'Life Domain' and click the tick to finish." I do not get a tick and another selction to select the life domain. This confuses me. I did a fighter and did not get another selection either to select a fighting style.
How does one put these on your character sheet so they reflect things like domain spells and such?

Fighting Style is not prompted for like domains are. You will find that under the Abilities tab, Features list will have a link to Fighting Styles, there you can then update that entry name to account for the chosen fighting style.

I don't know why, but that part of character creation is not automated.

Aloha, Siklanis

I suspect you may be using the SRD in which case you won't get the second pop up becasue there is only one choice of domain and it is given to you automatically after you select your skills.

If you have the PHB (Complete Core Class pack) then it should certainly give you a choice of domains.

As to the fighter, as LordEntrails says the Fighting style is not automated. This is largely because the fighting styles themselves aren't a class feature; it is the Fighting style which is the feature. Again if you have the PHB when your fighter reaches 3rd level they will get a choice of fighter archetype.

Thanks LordEntrails and Zacchaeus. I do not have the PHB so I am going to buy that and hopefully that will fix that issue. Thanks for the fast response.
