TOPIC: Amorgen's Character Designer (Excel Spreadsheet)

Is there something you wanted to ask or report about Charm of Quick Strike? I just checked and the appropriate classes are able to equip.

It will also ease converting to the app if you prefer to use it for all of your needs going forward.

I'm reviewing the potential to implement some of the real time activities and pre-designed characters as well, but this will take a few more days.

Thanks a million!

I'm using Amorgen's Exporter to import into the VTD app and there appear to be incompatibilities due to various encodings of the single quote character.

Within Amorgen's sheet some tokens (+1 Assassin's Blade, Ava's +5 Holy Avenger - not an exhaustive list) have the Microsoft curlyqueue single quote of death in their name using, I believe ISO-8859-1 "smart quotes". These prevent the character from being imported at all.

If you edit the exported file and change the curly quotes characters to an ASCII ' then the character is imported, but the token isn't recognized by the app - it shows up in white and doesn't contribute anything to stats (you need to reselect it in the VTD app).

I'm not sure what you can do to fix this, but I thought other users should be aware that any token involving an apostrophe or quote mark (and probably a hyphen, commas, and maybe other punctuation characters) may break the import.

Export to VTD App incompatibility:

VTD app expects Charm of Awakened Synergy to have (#) next to it where # is the number in the party, e.g.:

Charm of Awakened Synergy (3)

If you export/import your token will show in white in the app and not convey bonuses until changed.

Feel free to tell me to stop posting VTD exporter stuff here ;0

Export to VTD App incompatibility:

VTD app expects melee weapons that are only throwable to have (Benrow) after them, not (Thrown), e.g.:

+3 Viper String Fang (Benrow)

I can't equip the FoB compatible +1 Assassin's Blade in my melee offhand.

Version 2020.03 Notes (for both Character Designer and App Exporter)

• • Implemented real time tracking section to the character tabs
  • Added a view of Damage Resistance by type
  • Added Flurry of Blows as default for Melee Offhand and added average damage when using just fists
  • Added numbered versions of Charm of Awakened Synergy and Charm of Synergy that are useful if you are not plotting the entire party on the spreadsheet
  • Renamed all flurry of blows (Thrown) to (Benrow) for consistency with TD apps.  The 2020.03 version of the exporter will also rename these appropriately.
  • Verified that all flurry of blows weapons are properly showing as options in their respective slots
  • Fixed several 2020 tokens that had a different apostrophe symbol than normal.  Unfortunately, the correction to the TD apps will not be in place until after the first Virtual TD, so these tokens must be reselected.
  [/i]Added Badge of Nobility (GT) for those lucky 2018 Golden Ticket run participants who are able to get damage resistance of 2 against all but Eldritch.  The Exporter should properly move this to the GT2018 slot on the TD apps from whichever Special slot you selected.

Thanks for all your work on this!! The spreadsheet is still my go to for building characters.

Bracers of Reckless Fury can't be equipped by Dwarf Fighter or Elf Wizard

Also please add Figurine of Power: Reaver

The text that accompanies Thor's +5 Returning Hammer of Smashing incorrectly indicates that it crits on 18-20.

That item crits on 19-20:

tokendb.com/token/thors-5-returning-hammer-of-smiting/

Will this be updated for the 2021 tokens? I prefer using this spreadsheet over other choices.

The app and web options are solid, but I also like using the spreadsheet. Good way to double check things are working properly.
