Instructions for adding content to the 4e character sheet ========================================================= General: The workbook is protected.

In order to see the sheets that are referred on thes e instructions, unprotect the workbook (menu Tools->Protection on Excel 2003) The place to post requests for programming is the forum located at http://www.dn d4.com Source books: Before adding content, check if the book is on the available book list. The lis t is on the sheet Lists, starting on range E2. The formula on column F checks t he status of the selections on the Filters page. If your book is there, use that code on the book column for all the content that you enter. If not, you can add it there following these steps: - Unprotect the filters sheet, copy the last entry on the source section, and in sert the copied cells as a new row. This way the format will be preserved - On the list sheet, enter a unique code for your book in the first available ro w on column E, and copy and paste the formula on column F. Check that the cell reference on column F corresponds to the new row on sources that you have just e ntered - Redefine the name Filtered Books to include the new row Do not add content from a new sourcebook without adding the book to the list as described above. You'll break the listing of items from that category. Races: Follow these steps to insert a new race: - Insert a new row in alphabetical order. If the row ends up being the top row, special care will need to be taken to make sure formulas go in correctly - Enter the name of the race on column A, the source book code on column C, and copy the formulas on column B and D from the row above - On columns E to AF, enter the corresponding information to the race. Leave bl anks when the field is not applicable. The only fields that should always have a value are speed and vision - On columns AG to AL, enter the race features. You can split one feature descr iption on two or more cells to make it look better on the character sheet. The current limit of features is 6, if you need more post in the forum as it will re quire extra coding in more places - Go to the RaceFeatures tab and add each feature (including choices) to the lis t in column A and set the proper formula in column B. Name the cell that checks for the feature like the others (style: RF[NameofFeature]) Classes: Follow these steps to insert a new class: - Insert a new row in alphabetical order. If the row ends up being the top row, special care will need to be taken to make sure formulas go in correctly - Enter the name of the class on column A, the source book code on column B, and copy the formulas on column C and D from the row above - On columns E to N, enter the corresponding information to the class. The colum n H is a calculated field, so copy the formula from the row above - On columns O to Z, enter the weapon and armor proficiencies, using 1 to mark t he proficiency and blank otherwise. If the class has an specific proficiency no t listed there, post it on the forum as it will require extra coding - On column AA to AQ, enter the skills available. For trained skills, use 3 (di splays as X), for available skills, use 1 (displays as -), for a required choice of two skills use 2 (displays as *). - On column AR to AU, enter the choices available for the class. Almost all the choices will require some extra coding to make them functional, so post it on t he forum. If you need to enter more than 4 available choices, post it too. - On column AV to BB, enter the features. Same as with the races, you can split

the description on two or more cells. There are 7 class features spaces availa ble, if you need more post on the forum. - Go to the ClassFeatures tab and add each feature (including choices) to the li st in column A and set the proper formula in column B. (This will usually involv e checking for class or certain multiclass feats.) Name the cell that checks for the feature like the others (style: CF[NameofFeature]) Feats: Follow these steps to insert a new feat: - Locate the empty spaces between the list of feats and the weapon proficiency f eats, and insert a row below the last feat - Enter the name of the feat on column F, the description on column G, the sourc e book code on column H, and copy the formulas on columns C and I from the row a bove - On columns J to P, enter the requirements on terms of abilities or level, if a ny. If you enter at least one requirement, copy the formula on column Q from an y feat that has it; if not, leave it blank - On columns R to T, enter the requirements on terms of race and class. You can enter two races, and the feat will be available for each of them. If you enter at least one requirement, copy the formula on column U from any feat that has i t; if not, leave it blank - Column W can contain a custom formula, that has to evaluate to TRUE or FALSE. Column V is that formula in text format, it has no effect but it can facilitate the reading. If you are unsure on how to make the custom formula for the feat, leave it blank and post in the forum. - Copy the formula for column X from the row above - Multiclass feats must also be entered on the class sheet in order to add addit ional skills. Paragon paths: Follow these steps to insert a new paragon path: - Insert a new row above the row with ZZZ End on column F - Enter the name of the paragon path on column F, the source book code on column G, and copy the formulas on columns A, B, C, D, and H from the row above - On columns I to N, enter the conditions for the paragon path. If it is a clas s, enter it on column I and copy the formula from column J. If it is a race, en ter it on column K and copy the formula from column L. If it is a custom formul a, enter it on column N and copy the text of the formula on column M for clarity . - On columns O to Q, enter the paragon powers - On column R, enter the level 11 path feature that uses an action point - On column S, enter a description of what happens when an action point is used - On column T, enter the other level 11 path feature - On column U, enter the level 16 path feature - Column V is used for the options that some paragon paths have, and it will nor mally require custom code to be effective. If you need to use it, post it on th e forum. Column V can also be used if the path has more than two level 11 featur es Epic Destinies: Follow these steps to insert a new epic destiny: - Insert a new row above the row with ZZZ End on column F - Enter the name of the epic destiny on column F, the source book code on column G, and copy the formulas on columns A, B, C, D, and H from the row above - On columns I to Q, enter the conditions for the epic destiny. If it is a clas s, enter it on column I and copy the formula from column J. If it is a race, en ter it on column K and copy the formula from column L. If it is a custom formul a, enter it on column Q and copy the text of the formula on column P for clarity . Enter any Fortitude, Reflex, and Will bonuses in columns M through O. - On column R, enter the level 21 epic destiny features

- On column S, enter the level 24 epic destiny features - On column T, enter the level 30 epic destiny features - On column U, enter the level 26 epic destiny utility power At will powers: Follow these steps to insert a new at will power: - Insert a new row above the row with ZZZ End on column C - Enter the name of the at will power on column C, the source book code on colum n D, and copy the formulas on column B from the row above - On columns E to L, enter the characteristics on the power. The class and leve l are mandatory. Copy the formula on columns M and S from the row above. - If you are entering wizard powers, copy also the formulas on column P Encounter, Utility and Daily powers: Follow these steps to insert a new power on any of those sheets: - Insert a new row above the row with ZZZ End on column C - Enter the name of the power on column C, the source book code on column D, cla ss on column E, level on column F, and copy the formulas for the rest of the col umns from above
