D&D Junkie

I've re-written the Pathfinder XP Calculator to clean up a few bugs and add support for awarding XP based on the encounter CR. You can grab the new version from the Downloads page.

Yes, you read that right, RPGXplorer 2.1 is now available! Head on over to the RPGXplorer Forums to see my announcement of the great news!

If you're a Civilization V player, you might be interested in my online version of the Civilopedia.

Looking for a character generator for Shadowrun 4th Edition? Then check out Chummer which I wrote back in March after finding there were no complete SR4 character generators! You can also ready up on it on the official Dumpshock thread.

RPGXplorer has gone open source! There is a lot of work that needs to be done and some required components that you will need. Head over to the RPGXplorer Forums to see my announcement about it. My involvement with the project will probably be fairly minimal for some time, but it is available to anyone who would like to contribute.

Someone just pointed this out to me, and some of you may already be aware - Anurien has officially pulled the plug on RPGXplorer as seen in his recent announcement on the RPGXplorer forums. He is planning on making the source code available in the near future. When it's available, I'm going to see if I can grab it and figure out what specific 3rd party components are needed to muck about with it. I'm not promising anything, but I would like to see if I can get my head around what the code is doing, make some changes, and see what it would take to work with Pathfinder instead. If I do get the code and start to tinker with it, I'll be sure to post the info here. :)

Well folks, I'm officially done with RPGXplorer. It has been well over a year since the last beta release and I traded in D&D 3.5 for Pathfinder when it came out. I have tried to create exports of everything I have, but every time I attempt to export something, the beta build of RPGXplorer I have blows up and doesn't dump out anything. And I can't go back to the latest official release since it the expected data format has changed. So I can't even post what I have any more. If RPGXplorer ever gets back on its feet and start supporting Pathfinder, I'll certainly get involved with it again. Everything that's here right now will remain where it is - I still use the domain for other purposes and may start posting some of my Warhammer stuff.

Yay! The RPGXplorer website and forums are back up and working!

Just got word from Anurien: the RPGX site is one step closer to being up! The site has moved to its new hosting provider, however, there is snag with getting the name servers switched to point to the new location. Hopefully it won't take too long to get the issue resolved.

The installers and patches for RPGXplorer are now availble here from the RPGXplorer Downloads page, including the 2.0.0 Alpha d update.

It sounds like Anurien is hoping to have the site back up in another 10 days or so with a new hosting provider. I will be posting all of the patches and installers here tomorrow evening so that people can still grab them if needed while the site is down, along with anything else that might be of use.

Unfortunately the RPGXplorer website is still down. Anurien has informed me that the hosting provider is currently refusing to re-enable the site, though I don't know why. Here's hoping they either stop being pig-headed soon, or that the site is able to move to a new hosting provider.

As a number of people have noticed, the RPGXplorer website is currently down. I emailed Anurien yesterday to see what might be happening. He was unaware of the issue since his email was working and has taken this up with his website hosting provider. He is hoping they will have the problem resolved soon.

A Pathfinder XP Calculator, based on the XP Calculator I made for 3.5, is now available from the Downloads page.

Just as an FYI - I've got a bunch of data that's ready to be dumped out to datasets, but I can't export them in a format that's usable for everyone until the final build of RPGX 2.0 is released since there are export file incompatibilities between 1.9.5 and the various 2.0 beta builds. Once the 2.0 final build is released, I'm expecting to churn out a bunch of stuff in the weeks after. 'Til then, I'm afraid there's not much that I can put out since most people won't be able to use it, or it'll just need to be re-exported again. The joy of betas. ;)

OK, not D&D-related, but if anyone uses the Byakhee character generator to create characters for Call of Cthulhu, I've just finished putting together the files that will allow you to create characters for 6th Edition. You can grab the files from the very bottom of the downloads page.

The Character Cards sheets have been updated to fix a printing issue that was causing them to print across 2 pages instead of 1. Oops. Be sure to grab the updated package from the XSL Sheets page.

Updates for the Complete Arcane, Frostburn, Lords of Madness, Races of Stone, and Sandstorm datasets are now available! The Frostburn update includes the monsters which I apparently left out of the last update. Oops!

A complete version of the Planar Handbook dataset is finally here! Hopefully I will have some time over the next few weeks to push out updated copies of a few other datasets as well. :)

It's been a long time comin', but I have finally zipped up all of the images that the datasets linked to and posted the file on the site. It's a whopping 130MB, but it's got everything! Head on over to the Datasets page to grab it.

An updated dataset for Complete Divine is now available.

Hockler pointed out that the rage duration was not being calculated correctly on any of the character sheets. I have updated the code that calculates rage duration and updated all of the XSL sheet packages to include the fixed file. To apply the update, download and of the XSL sheet packages and simply replace your copy of the rage.xsl file with the new one in the zip file.

The Expanded Psionics Handbook and Miniatures Handbook datasets have bee updated to include monstery goodness!

The Book of Exalted Deeds, Complete Warrior, Draconomicon, and Fiend Folio datasets have been updated and now include monsters!

Updated versions of the Races of Destiny and Sandstorm datasets are now available.

A complete dataset for the Expanded Psionics Handbook is now available!

Apparently the XSL sheets on the site did not match the ones that came with the 1.9.5 update for RPGXplorer. I have no idea how I let them get so out-of-date. I have re-packed all of the zip files, so all of the sheets available on the site are once again the latest versions.

Just because six datasets in one day wasn't enouh, here's three more. Frostburn, Lost Empires of Faerun, and Shining South have been updated and are ready for your downloading pleasure.

I know it has been a while since the last dataset updates, so here's a little something to make up for it. A dataset for Monster Manual II is now available. In addition, the following datasets have been updated: Book of Vile Darkness, Magic of Faerun, Manual of the Planes, Monsters of Faerun, and Silver Marches! Enjoy!

Chikae has updated the Pathfinder Beta dataset. The updated copy is available from the Datasets page as usual. Enjoy! :D

Chikae has started working on a Pathfinder Beta dataset which is now available from the Datasets page and currently contains the skills and feats from the book. Please note that this dataset will overwrite any Pathfinder SRD components you may have in your copy of RPGXplorer. If you have any comments or questions about the dataset, please contact Chikae on the RPGXplorer forums. I'll be posting updated copies of the dataset as they're sent my way.

The Planar Handbook dataset has been updated. The new dataset adds the races that were missing and has removed the deprecated planar domains (The Abyss, Baator, Elyssium, etc.) The domains were updated in the Spell Compendium and work as they were originally intended.

The completed dataset for Player's Handbook II is finally here and ready for your downloading pleasure!

Nice batch of application updates this evening. XP Calculator has been updated so that it will once again work if you do not have .NET 1.1 installed since one of the controls it was using has been removed from the .NET framework in later releases. Both the group and individual versions are now linked from the Downloads page. Deity Spell List and Material Editor have both been updated to use .NET 3.5 and correct a few minor issues. Finally, FeatSearch has come back after a very long hiatus and now works with versions of RPGXplorer later than 1.04! Everything is available from the Downloads page.

Round 3 of the dataset updates is here. Updated this round: Manual of the Planes and Races of the Wild. This update also adds the completed Deities and Demigods dataset!

Round 2 of the dataset updates is here. Updated this round: Races of Stone and Serpent Kingdoms.

Round 1 of the dataset updates is here. Updated this round: Complete Divine and Planar Handbook.

RPGXHelp 1.5.0 is now available from the downloads page. The update addresses a few minor issues, adds a new notes section, and ports the application to .NET 3.5.

Good news! The RSS feed is back up and working! I had to make a small change to the file name as part of the fix, so be sure to update your links to the RSS feed.

No, I'm not dead. Things have just been really busy with settling into the new job, illnesses, injuries, and a tonne of other crap going. I've got enough updated data from Frumple to choke a dragon, so with any luck I'll be posting some updated datasets in the near future (probably closer towards the end of the month). And if anyone has a decoder ring to figure out what the hell women want/mean, please, I'm begging you, send it my way (at least THAT freed up some time). :P

The Datasets page is working correctly again. It'd work fine if it was the only page you went to, but would bomb under any other circumstance. Whoops. I'm still looking into the RSS piece. I'm going to have to change how it's being done, so it'll still be a few days before it's working - I need to put some time into the new sheets for 1.9.5 first. :D

RPGXHelp 1.4.0 is now available from the downloads page and includes the ability to select the sourcebook the page applies to, and adds a number of new link buttons to link text to other help pages. I have also finished working on the XSL sheets for the 1.9.5 update for RPGXplorer, so the new sheets will be bundled with the update!

Yay! The site move is done with no interruption of service! The datasets, however, are now stamped with the incorrect last modified date - nothing has been updated in the past month, so you don't need to re-download anything. On a side note, yes, I realise the RSS feed is currently not working - I'm hoping to have this fixed up soon. I just need to remember what settings need to be changed to get them working the way I had 'em before.

The site may be down for a day or so as I am transferring the site to a different hosting environment since I am changing jobs and will no longer be using the web server at the old company. Hopefully there won't be a huge interruption, but there may be some.

An updated version of the Miniatures Handbook dataset is now available for download. This means I'm finally caught up on posting datasets that I've been sitting on for a few months! Yay!

Updated datasets for Manual of the Planes and Magic of Faerun are now available, as well as a new dataset for Monsters of Faerun.

Updated datasets for Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting and Lords of Darkness are now avaiable for download.

Updated datasets for Races of Faer�n, Races of the Wild, and Silver Marches are now available for download.

An updated version of the Draconomicon dataset is now available for download.

The Export Merge utility has been updated to include a checkbox which will merge all of the XML files in the selected directory into one file. This will elimite the need to repeat the add A to B process multiple times to achieve the same effect.

Further dataset updates are on the way - I just need enough time to get them trimmed to an acceptable size. :P I'm hoping to have at least one more by the end of this week. Maybe two.

An updated version of the Underdark dataset is now available for download from the Datasets section.

The Pathfinder and Pathfinder Society XSL sheets have been updated to address an issue that prevented older features like Rage and Sneak Attack from appearing under the Special Abilities sections.

At long last, the Magic Item Compendium dataset has been updated to include the missing magic weapon abilities that had a fixed cost. The dataset is now complete! The Complete Warrior and Unapproachable East datasets have also been updated.

Two new XSL sheets have been added - one based on the alpha Pathfinder character sheet, and the second based on the Pathfinder Society character sheet. Grab 'em now from the XSL Sheets page.

All of the sheets have been updated to correct a new issue that Asmodai brought to my attention. Most of you will probably never encounter this so the sheets that ship with 1.9 are fine, but if I don't post this, someone will encounter it. :) The updates address an issue where weapon configs that have only off-hand/secondary attacks were not printing on any of the sheets.

RPGXplorer 1.9 (both the stand-alone and update installs) will include updated copies of the XSL sheets that I've created which include support for the new functionality. Here's a glimpse of everything that has changed.

• Added support for number of attacks with a single weapon (for example two strikes with one claw)
• Added support for an infinite number of secondary attacks
• Added the ranged table for secondary weapons that have a range
• Added Helpless AC to the Armor Class section
• Increased the size of the Hit Die Type and Damage Reduction sections
• Reduced the size of the Speed section
• Added support for new movement types
• Addeed Type to the character description at the top

• Added support for an infinite number of secondary attacks
• Added the ranged table for secondary weapons that have a range
• Added Helpless AC to the Armor Class section
• Secondary attacks are now indented and coloured gray to help differentiate where one weapon group ends and another begins (all primary attacks are now left white)
• Having no alignment no longer causes the write-in space for alignment to disappear
• Having a weapon that does not deal damage no longer causes the write-in space for damage to disappear
• The Notes section for secondary attacks now reads "Style / Notes" to match the primary attacks line
• Added support for new movement types
• Added Type to the character description at the top

• Added support for number of attacks with a single weapon (for example two strikes with one claw)

• The Feats section no longer appears if the character does not have any feats

A new and complete dataset for Manual of the Planes has been added!

The Silver Marches dataset has been updated to include items found in the book's web enhancement.

ScrollScriber has been updated again. I've added the ability to print a character's features and feats. This will get around the limitation of FeatXplorer not being able to do this, and puts the bulk of your character's rule page printing in one convenient place.

Dataset number 60 is here in the form of a complete Fiend Folio!

A completed dataset for Races of Destiny is now available!

A completed dataset for Complete Adventurer has just been added!

ScrollScriber has been updated to allow you to print the selected spells on as few pages as possible, rather than one spell per page. This is an option that can be turned on/off with a checkbox, so you have the freedom to choose which method you want to use. I had planned on adding this to FeatXplorer, but after re-visiting the source code for the first time in more than 6 months, I have come to the realisation that it's not possible with the way it was written. So no FeatXplorer update. You can grab the updated version of ScrollScriber from the downloads page.

While not dead, I have been burried under a tonne of work at the office for nearly a month which has caused me to develop an accute aversion to my home PC. I'm hoping to have the completed Complete Adventurer dataset available some time this weekend, along with updates to the FeatXplorer and ScrollScriber apps. I'm also hoping to have updated version of the XSL sheets ready in time for the release of patch 1.9. No promises on that one, but keep your fingers crossed.

The Complete Arcane dataset is finally complete! Hooray!

Another completed dataset puts Libris Mortis to rest!

More tasty, completed dataset goodness comes your way this time in the form of Frostburn. Yum!

Here's the last of the weekend updates: a complete dataset for the Draconomicon! Now I need a break :P

This is starting to feel like a bad late-night infomercial. "But wait, theres still MORE!" This time it comes in the form of a complete dataset for Miniatures Handbook!

What's that? You want more you say? Fine, have more! A complete dataset for Complete Warrior is here!

Yet another complete dataset! This time it's Book of Exalted Deeds. Come an' get it!

A patch has been added to the Planar Handbook dataset to add one missing staff. The Complete Divine dataset has also been updated to include everything from the book!

Imagine my surprise when a complete dataset of Planar Handbook suddenly shows up in my mailbox! Everyone say "thank you Frumple"!

The dataset for Cityscape has been updated and now includes everything from the book!

By request, an XSL sheet modeled after the Monster Manual III stat block is now available from the XSL Sheets page.

The 3.5 Classic and 3.5 Revised XSL sheets have been updated to correct an issue with determining when the Turn Undead tables should be shown. They will now appear for any character who has an effective cleric level greater than 0. This should fix the issue where Paladins were not seeing the Turn Undead table on their sheets.

The Drow of the Underdark dataset has been updated and now includes everything from the book. Another fully complete dataset! Hooray!

This is a huge one folks, and damn near killed me. :) A dataset for Magic Item Compendium is finally here! It contains everything from the book with the exception of magic weapon abilities with a gold piece cost. Once RPGXplorer supports them, an updated will be release to includes the few missing bits.

A dataset for Magic of Incarnum which contains the spells, invocations, powers, and feats from the book has been added, in addition to a complete dataset for Weapons of Legacy!

RPGXHelp has been updated to add templates for staffs and adds a few buttons to link selected text to a feat, spell, or rule page.

I've just finished working on the initial version of ScrollScriber - a tool that lets you print selected spells for each character. More information about the app can be found on the Downloads page.

Since a large number of people have contacted me asking about how to import datasets, I have put together a short video tutorial on the matter. Available from the Video Tutorials page.

Updated datasets for Races of Faerun, Unapproachable East, and Underdark have been posted and contain everything from the books!

Complete datasets for Magic of Faerun and Silver Marches have been added. Updated datasets for Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting and Player's Guide to Faerun have also been added, and both are complete!

Complete datasets for City of the Spider Queen, Faiths & Pantheons and Lords of Darkness have been added!

The Serpent Kingdoms dataset has been updated and now includes everything from the book! A dataset for the Animated Series Handbook has also been added. Thanks to everyone who contributed. Be sure to check out the Project RED Status page to see who did what. :)

The Complete Psionic dataset has been updated and now includes everything from the book!

Information about Project RED is finally available. For information about the project, check out the Project RED Home Page.

The Drow of the Underdark dataset has been updated to include all of the mundane and magical items, including magic abilities. Thanks to Jzaltheral again for this data!

RPGXHelp has been updated to fix a few minor issues.

Due to the network abuse of some jackasses, I have started banning IP addresses. Yahoo! DSL's Class B address of 75.35.x.x has been banned from the site. Further abuse from any Yahoo! IP will result in all Yahoo! IPs being banned. If abuse continues from any source, this site will be taken down. I do not want to do it, but I do not need the headache of dealing with bullshit issues such as this. This site is being provided as a courtesy. I am not required to do this. Please do not take advantage of this free service. These bans will not be lifted. No exceptions.

To start off the new year, the Complete Warrior dataset has been updated to include the three base classes, all equipment, magic items, armor and weapon magic abilities, and special materials!

The Races of Stone dataset has been updated to include the deities, equipment, races, and prestige classes from the book. Huge thanks to Jzaltheral again for providing the data!

Just in time for the holidays - a dataset for Elder Evils is now available!

The Complete Arcane dataset has been updated to include the Warmage class. Thanks to James May for providing the class!

The Races of the Wild dataset has also been updated to include all of the races, prestige classes, and mundane items from the book. Huge thanks to Jzaltheral for providing us with this!

By request, all of the XSL sheets available from this site can now be downloaded as one package if desired. The combined zip file will be updated as the individual files are updated.

The Combat Block XSL sheet has been updated to include feat focuses when applicable to make all of the Martial/Simple Weapon Proficiency entries less ambiguous. Blah blah blah available from here :).

A new RPGXplorer XSL sheet is available! The new sheet is modeled after Paizo's Pathfinder stat block and is, as usual, available from the RPGXplorer XSLT Sheets page.

The 3.5 Classic and 3.5 Revised sheets have been updated to address a few issues that have been raised over the past week or so.

3.5 Classic

• If you have selected a deity for your character but do not have access to any domains, the empty brackets for domains will no longer appear.
• Fixed an issue where any magic modifier was adding to a spell's save DC instead of just modifiers that affected spell save DCs.
• Fixed an issue where any psionic modifier was adding to a power's save DC instead of just modifiers that affected power save DCs.
• A Notes section containing the class Caster Information notes now appears after the class Save DC section.
• A Notes section containing the class Manifester Information notes now appears after the class Save DC section.
• Ranged weapons with the Speed ability now have their one additional attack displayed on the ranged table.

3.5 Revised

• Fixed an issue where any magic modifier was adding to a spell's save DC instead of just modifiers that affected spell save DCs.
• Fixed an issue where any psionic modifier was adding to a power's save DC instead of just modifiers that affected power save DCs.
• A Notes section containing the class Caster Information notes now appears after the class Save DC section.
• A Notes section containing the class Manifester Information notes now appears after the class Save DC section.
• Ranged weapons with the Speed ability now have their one additional attack displayed on the ranged table.
• Images now use an absolute URL based on the config file instead of a relative URL. This should allow saved HTML files to display the images properly.

The DMG II sheet has been updated to include the following changes:

• Auras now appear immediately before Languages if applicable.
• Feat focuses will now appear with their feat names to make multiple Martial Weapon Proficiency and Simple Weapon Proficiency items less ambiguous.
• The Spell Modifiers heading has been corrected to actually read Spell Modifiers instead of Spells Prepared/Known.
• A line break has been added after the Spell Modifiers section to properly place Combat Gear on its own line.

The Races of the Wild dataset has been updated to include the armor and weapons from the book. Thanks to Jzaltheral for providing the data!

Datasets for Book of Exalted Deeds and Book of Vile Darkness are finally available. Both contain the feats and spells from the books. Available from the RPGXplorer Datasets page.

The Complete Mage dataset has been updated to include the new errata.

The site updates are done and went smoother than I had expected. As an added perk, there is now a list of sourcebooks available to help determine when things were released and figure out rule precedence.

Just as a heads-up for everyone: the site may be up and/or down and/or flaky for the weekend as I make some changes. I finally got .NET 2.0 installed and I want to move everything over from ASP classic. What does it mean for you? At the moment, not much. But it does give me the potential to write some nifty web tools later on and makes maintaining the site a bit easier. So if you notice the site is down this weekend, please don't email me because I'm the one who will have broken it. :)

The Spell Compendium dataset has been updated to include the new errata.

RPGXHelp has also been updated to correct a few minor issues, one of them addressing the rule pages for special materials.

The 3.5 Classic and 3.5 Revised sheets have been updated to address a few requests.

3.5 Classic

• Weapon modifiers such as the spike chain's +2 to Disarm will now appear in the weapons list with the corresponding weapon.
• Re-wrote the Inventory code again. Things are now sorted in two columns and you should not find anything missing. The trade-off is that the list isn't quite sorted in alphabetical order any more, but it's close enough.
• Updated the Attack Modifiers section to show all attack modifiers, not just those with a condition. This means bonuses to grapple, trip, etc. should now appear there.
• Updated the Defense Modifiers section to show all defense modifiers, not just those with a condition. Thanks to Asmodai for the code sample.

3.5 Revised

• Weapon modifiers such as the spike chain's +2 to Disarm will now appear in the weapons list with the corresponding weapon.

A number of the datasets have been updated to correct issues with Base Save prerequisites. Any of the datasets that have a last updated date of October 20, 2007 have been updated. Please re-download the appropriate datasets and import the Patch.xml file for each as needed.

The Player's Handbook II dataset has been updated to include the new errata and clean up some of the formatting on the spell pages.

Minor updates to the 3.5 Classic sheet.

• The plus sign will no longer appear next to mundane shields in the weapon section, and will appear for magical shields.
• DR now appears in the Damage Reduction section next to Hit Points when applicable.
• Slightly reduced the font size for the character's name.

Minor updates to the 3.5 Revised and DMG II sheets.

DMGII

• Weakness and Aura now print on separate lines an intended.

• The style/wield info now appears in the notes section for each weapon.
• The plus sign will no longer appear next to mundane shields in the weapon section, and will appear for magical shields.

The Complete Arcane dataset has been updated to include the Warlock base class and invocations.

Updated the DMG II sheet to add support for new tags and fix a couple of minor issues.

• Added support for the Aura tag.
• Added support for the Senses tag.
• Resist, Immune, and Saving Throws now appear on their own lines as intended.
• Feats and Features with the Senses tag now appear in the Seses section after Initiative.
• Removed automatic detection for Darkvision and Low-Light vision. These are now handled through the Senses tag.
• Fixed an issue where the comma between Feats and Features with certain User Tags would not appear.

All of the XSL sheets have been updated. That's right - ALL of them. Here's what new (it's a long one)...

Classic

• Disabled feats no longer show in the feats list.
• Resistances now appear under Defense Modifiers.
• Added support for Spell Points through the config.xsl file.
• Additional blank lines can be printed after the inventory section. The number of blank lines to print can be set in the config.xsl file.
• Necromantic Prowess from the True Necromancer PrC are now factored into effective cleric level for turning/rebuking.
• The Glory domain's +2 bonus to turning checks is now factored in properly, instead of adding +2 to the effective cleric level.
• Any weapon with a range increment will now display the ranged attacks table, not just ranged weapons.
• Turn Undead and Rage calculations are now broken into separate files, allowing them to be updated independently as needed without having to download all of the sheets that use those calculations every time.
• Shields now appear with their matching weapon if equipped.

Revised

• Added support for Spell Points through the config.xsl file.
• Additional blank lines can be printed after the inventory section. The number of blank lines to print can be set in the config.xsl file.
• Necromantic Prowess from the True Necromancer PrC are now factored into effective cleric level for turning/rebuking.
• The Glory domain's +2 bonus to turning checks is now factored in properly, instead of adding +2 to the effective cleric level.
• Any weapon with a range increment will now display the ranged attacks table, not just ranged weapons.
• Turn Undead and Rage calculations are now broken into separate files, allowing them to be updated independently as needed without having to download all of the sheets that use those calculations every time.
• Shields now appear with their matching weapon if equipped.

DMG II

• Added support for Spell Points through the config.xsl file.
• Added support for the following tags: AC Modifier, Hit Points, Immunity, Language, Resistance, Speed, Spell Modifier, and Weakness.

Combat Block

• Spell Points display is now controlled through the config.xsl file.
• The correct number of Spell Points will now be shown for each caster class.

Spell List

• Spell Points display is now controlled through the config.xsl file.
• The correct number of Spell Points will now be shown for each caster class.
• Move Spell Points next to class name.
• Added Power Points next to class name.

Character Card

• The four additional skills on the cards (the right-most column) are now controlled through the config.xsl file.

NEW: config/config.xsl The revised sheets use a new file called config.xsl which is located in the XSLT\config directory. This allows you to set flags, such as to use spell Spell Points, which will affect all of the sheets at once.
Here are the current settings you can change with config.xsl:

UseSpellPoints - Possible values: 'Yes', 'No' (must be entered exactly as 'Yes' or 'No' with the apostrophes)
Setting this to 'Yes' will show Spell Points. Setting this to 'No' will hide Spell Points.

BlankInventoryLines - Possible values: Any number
This is the number of extra blank lines you would like to display after the inventory, giving you space to write in new items as they are found.

ExtraSkill1 - Possible values: Any skill name (case-sensitive)

This is the name of the first extra skill you would like to display on the Character Card.
ExtraSkill2, ExtraSkill3, and ExtraSkill4 use the exact same format as ExtraSkill1.

The updated sheets are available from the RPGXplorer XSL Sheets page.

Added a dataset for Exemplars of Evil which includes the Feats and Spells from the book. Available from the RPGXplorer Datasets page.

Added a dataset for Champions of Valor which includes the Feats and Spells from the book. Available from the RPGXplorer Datasets page.

Added a dataset for Dungeonscape which includes the Feats and Prestige Classes from the book. Also added one for the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting which includes the two PrC that were never reprinted (everything else from the book was reprinted in different books, so those two PrCs are all it contains). Available from the RPGXplorer Datasets page.

Updated the DMG II sheet to make power points, manifester level, and spell level information easier to read. Also fixed an issue where a comma would not appear between attack options gained from feats and features. The updated sheet is available from the RPGXplorer XSL Sheets page.

Added a dataset for Player's Guide to Faerun which includes the Feats, Spells, and all 20 Prestige Classes from the book. Available from the RPGXplorer Datasets page.

The dataset has been created in a slightly different format - instead of everything having its own XML file, everything is now compressed into one file using the Export Merge tool. This will help reduce load times, cut down on redundant data, and make it a small package for you to download. The HTML files are now contained in their own HelpFiles directory to reproduce the structure that RPGX works with. This will allow for a little more flexibility in the future. The other datasets will be updated to use the same format soon, but if you've already downloaded them you will not have to download them again since nothing has technically changed. No idea why I didn't do this before. :P

The 3.5 Revised sheet has been updated to change the layout of the first page. I was never happy with the way the page looked, and Quijenoth was nice enough to give me a mock-up that looked much better. Nothing new feature-wise, but it looks better. :) Available from the RPGXplorer XSL Sheets page.

A VERY minor revision today. The character portrait now has a fixed height of 154 pixels in order to accommodate the new portraits that will be coming out in the future. You know the drill. Updated sheet is available from the RPGXplorer XSL Sheets page.

Added datasets for Dragon Magic, Dungeon Master's Guide II, Lords of Madness, Planar Handbook, and Unapproachable East which contains all of the feats and spells from the books. Available from the RPGXplorer Datasets page.

Minor revisions to the 3.5 Classic and Revised.

• Flat-Footed and Touch AC now appear in their correct place (Flat was in Touch and Touch was in Flat) (Revised sheet only).
• Assets now appear in the Gear section (Revised sheet only).
• Added support for Turn Undead -2 and Turn Undead -1. Turn Undead -2 should be applied to the Blackguard PrC and any class that turn at level - 2. Turn Undead -1 is there in the event someone stumbles across something that turns as level - 1. :)

The updated sheets are available from the RPGXplorer XSL Sheets page.

A dataset for City of Splendors: Waterdeep has also been added and contains the spells, feats, and prestige classes. Available from the RPGX Datasets page.

Big updates for both the Classic and Revised sheets. Here's what's new:

• Re-wrote the turn undead calculation code. Everything is now based on the two new tags: Turn Undead and Turn Undead -3. These tags are meant to be assigned to a class or prestige class. Give the Turn Undead tag to any class that can turn and/or rebuke undead at their class level. Give the Turn Undead tag to any class that can turn and/or rebuke undead at an effective level of class level - 3 (for example, the Paladin class). This solves the issue of needing to hard-code each class in the sheet, and allows any new class or prestige class you create and assign the tag to to instantly be included in the character sheets.
• DR, SR, and PR now appear in the Defense Modifiers section when applicable (Classic sheet only).
• PR now appears in the Special Defenses section when applicable (Revised sheet only).
• Added a Save row which appears after the Per Day and Spells Known rows of the Spells and Powers lists to show the base save for spells/powers each level. Thanks to thc1967 for the code.
• User features now appear in the Features section. Thanks to thc1967 for the code.
• Renamed "Class Features" to a more appropriate "Character Features" (Classic sheet only).
• Removed the width attribute from the character portrait to prevent images from being distorted (Classic sheet only).
• Added a new section for Notes and one for Background which appear if the character has the relevant information. Thanks to thc1967 for the code on this one as well.

The updated sheets are available from the RPGXplorer XSL Sheets page.

The 3.5 Classic and 3.5 Revised sheets have been updated to include the following changes:

• Stacked levels from Dread Necromancer, Master of Shrouds, and True Necromancer classes are now factored into the turning bonuses.
• The Glory domain now adds its bonuses to the turn undead section.
• Ranged attack bonuses in the Weapons section are now calculated correctly to prevent displaying multiple attacks when you should not have them. (Classic sheet only)

The 3.5 Revised Character Sheet has been updated to include the following requested changes/additions:

• Increased the font size for the first set of fields like Name and Classes.
• Added DR, SR, and Resistances to the Special Defenses section.
• Added more detailed XP information to the XP section.
• Rage bonus to Will saves now appears in the Conditional Modifiers section when applicable.

Updated the 3.5 Classic sheet to include more rage information. Here's a complete list of changes:

• Rage attacks are now grouped together properly under the Weapons section.
• Rage attacks now receive their proper attack and damage bonus based on which Rage ability you have (Rage, Greater Rage, Mighty Rage) instead of always being +2 (Rage).
• Rage bonus to Will saves now appears in the Conditional Modifiers section when applicable.
• Added a new Rage section which details your Str/Con, AC, and Wis modifiers while raging, plus the number of rages per day and the duration of your rage when applicable.

The release version of the 3.5 Revised Character Sheet is now available for download. This new character sheet is modeled after the revised 3.5 character sheet provided by Wizards of the Coast. Available from the RPGXplorer XSL Sheets page.

The 3.5 Classic Character Sheet has been updated once again. Here's what's new:

• Removed Size from the Weapons heading since this information is not available.
• Weapon damage type (bludgeoning, slashing, etc) now appear properly in the list.
• Added a section for Assets which will appear before the Equipment list if your character has anything in their Assets folder.

The "Art Character Sheet" has been given a more fitting and meaningful name - 3.5 Classic Character Sheet. Please remove the ArtSheet.xsl file from your XSLT directory and replace with the new 3.5 Classic.xsl sheet. Availble from the RPGXplorer XSL Sheets page and labelled "3.5 Classic Character Sheet".

The sheet has also been updated to add an icon for thrown weapons, fixes the weapon and armor proficiencies bar that appears below the Feats heading, and fix an issue where the Saving Thow Conditional Modifiers box would sometimes not be shown.

If you have downloaded RPGXHelp 1.3.3, please download it again. I accidentally uploaded a version that did not create HTML files. I had disabled the writing for testing and forgot to re-enable it before making it available to everyone. My apologies.

The Art Character Sheet has been updated again. I have re-written the inventory section from scratch using a far more reliable method to hopefully bring an end to these inventory quirks.

Last night's DMG II was not the correct version. I uploaded the zip file but didn't update the zip's contents before doing so. The correct version is now available for download. This version also removes the "x1" from items that have a quantity of 1 and moves each seperate attack option onto its own line to improve readability.

RPGXHelp has been updated to 1.3.3 to hopefully fix the last of the issues with reading spell and power heading information from the RPGX databases.

Added datasets for Sandstorm, Races of Destiny, Races of Faerun, Races of Stone, and Races of the Wild which contains all of the feats and spells from the books. Available from the RPGXplorer Datasets page.

Updated the Art Character Sheet again - this time to address inventory issues when the character had items in multiple containers that were added at random intervals. This should hopefully be the last of the inventory updates. A character's number of power points have also been added to the start of each psionic powers list.

The DMG II and Combat Block sheets have also been updated to fix an issue with an incorrect number of power points being shown for characters with psionic classes.

Updated the Art Character Sheet to include rage information. Huge thanks to Ambush for doing most of the work on this one.
