Mad Skillz Folks,

Is there a feature or mod that allows other players to see a "character description" of the other players?

Perhaps grabbing the "Appearance" text from the character sheet and making it available from the other character's portrait?

It would be nice to be able to "see" what the other character looked like for use in dialog. I don't know how many times the elf has been referred to as a dwarf so far because players can't keep them straight.

Thanks.

There is no way to share character descriptions automatically (without ruleset modification). What I do is have the players cut and paste their character descriptions into a note with the character's name on it and share it with everyone.

The advantage of this approach is the player can share the description when ever he wants and easily edit the description to keep it up to date and the GM doesn't have to do anything.

Thanks. I think that using the notes will get the job done. I hadn't realized that they could be shared out from the player end.

Yep my players use it to designate party loot and share it with everyone.
