    Thanks for this update, JPG - a lot of great little fixes in there!

    However, all my players' sheets are still showing the double skill entries. Is there anything else we need to do to get rid of them?

    Also, the DMG effect adds to spell damage as well as weapon damage. I'm not sure if it's intended to function this way, but it surprised me (I was using it for the effect of spells like good hope). I wondered if it might be related to the Strrnght error listed above?

    Finally, links to other spells from within spells still just open blank spell sheets in the d20 Spells book. I think you've fixed this in the 3.5E Spells book - can you apply the same fix to the d20 version, please?

    I couldn't help but notice that you can't minimize FG anymore. Haven't played much lately, so it took a while to realize.

    Yes, I'm also missing the minimize button.

    Too bad: it was working perfectly well for me.

    Thanks for your reply, Trenloe.

    Callum,

    The changes in 2.8.1 will not remove double skill entries already in place, but you should be able to delete the versions that have different letter cases (which is what caused the doubling).

    The DMG effect adds to all damage rolls, it does not differentiate between weapons and spells. You can try having the character use single use DMG effects.

    The 3.5E spell book was not correct, but I thought I addressed with the 2.8.1 release. Can you point me to examples of spell entries that contain links to other spells which do not work?

    Thanks,
    JPG

    Quick update to the 3.5E ruleset (v2.8.1A):

    • [3.5E] Ability damage field can be set to negative value again.
    • [3.5E] Effects not applying when only a single target selected. Fixed.
    • [3.5E] Sometimes when casting spells, attack entry sent to chat window when no roll specified. Fixed.


    Cheers,
    JPG
