suggestion for later add ons.

Most of my suggestion are because i have players that still want to play with paper and don't want to bring laptops to game.

I like to see Scroll bars add to maps for easyer scrolling. I have the auto scroll set up but when i go to move my mouse to change to players side on that i have set up on the other side of monitor. the map moves then i have to go back and fix. A scroll bar system on instead of auto scrolling would be much easyer to use.

An Export or print out system of characters. Example I am GMing a game that has premade characters. so instead of having to input said characters in to both d20 pro and on to a character sheet, either in adobe or hero lab. We could export them to some sort of format for printing.

just a few idea i am sure i wll come up with more.

 

I use PC and Linux. i don't use hero labs but it was suggested to me. I used adobe Pro PDF to make custom character sheets when i had access on my old work laptop. Now i use nitro pdf to edit the sheets a lot cheaper then adobe.

 

the suggestion for Exp box/ caculator made me think of this one

level up button in the character sheet. it would send a notice to GM client that user is requesting a to level up his character
the DM can then approve said level up or not. Approve the level up would give the player the ablity to tempory edit his character sheet. raise his hit dice ect. when player goes to save and close editting of the sheet. another message is sent to dm and the GM can approve the changes made before they saved. would save a ton of time for GM


just though of this one the ablity to change item's visablity. that way a GM can pre put all the treasure on the map and only with play pass search check does he get to see the items then plays can go up to item and pick it up adding it to inventory.

 

here is another suggestion. for later add one. i like to see a saving throw conformation box just like the to hit one.
it could have a button that says Save successful, no effect save successful half effect and save successful 1/4 effect. fail save effect , fail saved double effect no save roll need effect happens.

 

here a few more i just got after doing some more testing for D&D 2.0

1. a check box next to ability scores that lets you put in your own modifier or turn off the mod. this would open the functionality of the program to support more RPGS other then D&D
Example
d&d 2.0 to initiative does not add dex bonus to increase the roll, and a player has to know what his score is to do skill checks. as dm i would check off on the character sheet to not apply the mod anywhere. or set the mod to 0 since i don't need the mod. but my player still need to see his score. so he can do his skill checks. my next idea fix flat footed ac cause by this. i can stick any ac bonus from dex in unnamed.

2. A dice fudger for GM
when ever a roll is sent to DM for conformation the dm would have an arrow on both sides the dice rolled that he can adjust the dice roll up or down from these arrow or +/- this would allow for on the spot situation modifiers attack from cover, shooting bow long distance, taking cover for a save. ect

as a dm i would like all dice rolls to be confirmed by me maybe that could be option in GM setting confirm all rolls. that would open this table top soft ware to a lot more games out there.

really would only need the dice fudger and the ability to confirm all rolls set by players. the ability score mod would allow for easy up having to fudging every roll on dm and allow for faster movement of game.

 

was thinking for dice fudger the game log does not display what is rolled until after the dm confirms that way players are unaware of the fudging of the dice.

 

i talking about fudging the players rolls them self's not the dm rolls. Example: Bob Elf ranger is shoot his his bow at Orc that has 2/3rds cover. this give him lets say a -4 to hit roll to hit the orc or +4 to orcs ac. but because bobs elf is on high ground he gets a +1 to his attack roll. the dice fudger would allow me to just adjust players roll by -3 with him or her knowing. as the program stands i would have to go mod the attack roll of the player on his character sheet for 1 attack or adjust the orcs ac for something that may only last one round or per attack. if bob had a friend that the orc was only getting 1/2 cover. ect just something that is a little extra. to speed thing up a little and allow for more freedom to have special rules or circumstance and integrate them into the system. some one else mention in another post, about a feat or ability that allows a player to re roll a 1 on damage rolls or make all 1=2. a dice fudger would make this easier to implement. I ask to hide fudge from players because it will reduce question as to why maybe they missed an attack. example from above bob does the math in his head i need a 14 to hit normal. the dice is rolled it = 14 but dm says it it miss. the player ask why you have then explain it to them about the bonus to hit and the - because of cover. some times players forget that what said cover bonus is or what other mods may be in effect. this would save a lot of time if some one is playing the gave via internet.

of course this feature is only available to dm.

as i suggest this should be a option that a dm can turn on and off. some may like it other may not. the fudger would allow for more games to be playing on the system instead of just d20 games.

 

that basically how i would want the fudger to work. i as a DM would like the for conformation from all dice but i know some dm would not that why i suggest it maybe being a setting that can be turned off in the dm options.

 

sounds good to me send to to the devs hehehe.

 

added Effect section of a spell
when you go to Hit points and add Dice
Add Temporary Hit points as a Dice roll in addition to the set number.

It would be kewl if we can adjust energy types of damage as it can't be healed through fast healing.

example Trolls can fast heal Acid or Fire damage.

 

maybe add in the spell section the ability for a spell to target the same person more then once. example Magic Missile. If the player has 4 missiles wants to send
2 at one target and the other two at two other monsters. The program will left you select every target once but i can't select the target that is getting hit with two missiles. For a solution i put 1d4+1 MM in the attack section of character and spell effect when all missiles hit one target. if not this way i have to create effects for every missiles .
