And, while I'm writing, I don't know if others will agree on this, but I'd prefer that section be reworded like:

Can't Be Surprised: Yes/No
Free Movement: Yes/No
Psychic: Yes/No

I think that would be a little easier mentally to see Yes, No, Yes (for example) and know that means check, don't check, check. Currently it is a little extra step mentally to read the words and think, ok, "Can't Be Surprised" means I DO check the box.

I just want to verify. You want...

Cannot be Surprised: No (means you can be surprised)
Cannot be Surprised: Yes (means you cannot be surprised)

A double negative on the party card? What is the world coming to?

Yes. It's always been a double negative because the party card reads "Cannot Be Surprised", so if it's unchecked, the player doesn't have the "Cannot Be Surprised" ability and therefore can be surprised.

Really as coaches we just need to know whether or not to check each box. Maybe the following is better than Yes/No?

Cannot Be Surprised: ✓
Free Movement: ✓
Psychic: ✓

Cannot Be Surprised: -
Free Movement: -
Psychic: -

Archerin manages it, right?

That is correct. There is a thread for TDCharacterCreator.

He does a great job of addressing issues, so I'm sure it will get corrected.

Works for me. Just checking.

I prefer the Yes/No. A Checkmark works if it's there, but leaving it blank suggests that it's just not filled in or missing.

Thank you!

Thanks Cranston. Love the app as well. It's the only thing I actually use at the con, as I don't like to rely on the cellular network to load my stats.

Here is the list of updates planned in the next couple weeks:

1. Correct Tankard of Health to provide +3 HP for use in both Offhand slots
2. Update 'Cannot be Surprised', 'Free Movement' and 'Psychic Ability' to match the Party Card
3. Correct Plate Mail of Attack to only limit use of Shields/Bucklers, but allow other Offhand items
4. Correct the Ring of Wizardry in the Android version to correctly add the +2 to Spell To Hit numbers
5. Add the following Completion Tokens to the apps:

Boots of Inferno Step
Shoes of Fire Step
Soul Coffer
Soul Jar
Ring of Pandemonium
Horn of Rally
Horn of Calling
Charm of Thorny Barbs
Charm of Warm Winds
Mead Master Earcuff

I just wanted to check to make sure I am not missing anything.

Thanks
Tom

I also decided to add a slot for the 2018 GT Medallions. I included several options first proposed by Mathew Hayward, along with the Medallion of Greyhawk and a few from Ed's list.

I just wanted to verify some rules.

1. Items cannot be duplicated in the build (i.e. can't have 2 Mad Evoker Charms)
2. No items can affect the party card
3. All items must be available based on class and stats (Lenses of Divine Sight still need Wisdom and Cleric/Druid)
4. Cannot have an extra Figurine of Power, unless you have the Charisma for it.
5. Badge of Nobility is legal, even though it adds +1 to AC

Rule 4 makes me wonder why I added those, because they are already slotless. Oh well. There for now.

Please let me know if I missed any rules or if I have anything incorrect.

Thanks
Tom

Well, if you're updating the Character Generator with the new Shadowskin and Lenses of Divine Sight tokens... you don't need to worry about the WIS req on Lenses anymore.

The modifications for Lenses of Divine Sight and Shadowskin will not be added until after PAX South. When the revision comes out with the new token set, the Wisdom requirement will be removed from the LoDS for the Eye slot and this one.

Good point.

Shadowskin will also no longer be eligible, as it will give +1 to Saves, which affects the party card

Same with LoDS

Version 5.8 has been released. This release is primarily for Gamehole Con. I expect there will be new completion tokens for GHC, so I suspect there will be another release prior to PAX South. For now, here are the changes:

1. Correct Tankard of Health to provide +3 HP for use in both Offhand slots
2. Update 'Cannot be Surprised', 'Free Movement' and 'Psychic Ability' to match the Party Card
3. Correct Plate Mail of Attack to only limit use of Shields/Bucklers, but allow other Offhand items
4. Correct the Ring of Wizardry to correctly add the +2 to Spell To Hit numbers
5. Add Completion Tokens from Gencon to the app
6. Add GT2018 Medallion slot

I have NOT added the 2019 token collection, and also NOT changed LoDS or Cloak Of Shadowskin, as both are still using the old set up for both GHC, and PAX. The 2018 effects for AoW, Special and Eldritch Runestone are still in place.

After PAX South, I will get a release out with all the 2019 tokens and related 2019 errata items. If we get the new Special token effects in January, I will try and incorporate them as a 2019 version of effects similar to last year. The release after PAX will be a major release with a lot of changes, so I am not sure of the timing.

For now, this release (5.8) includes all the tokens presently available (at least that I know about).
