Spell planner improvements

This update improves the Spell planners in the same manner that appear in TOS 2nd: The description of spells has been merged with the 'Higher level' text, as to create a large area which will be more efficient to display Spell information! Many spells don't have 'at Higher Level' entries, so this allows spells to have a larger description!

Support for Foundry VTT!

I am happy to report that I have created an Export function that will allow TOS FIVE users to Export their Character to the newly released Foundry virtual tabletop!

Everyone is upgraded to Expert!

The option to use TOS FIVE as an Expert user has been removed. Now, the Back sheet will always show what it can show, and the top will advise the user if any options still remain un-selected on the Customize sheet. The ability to see everything makes it easier to see which missing option is left to fulfill. Remember that any missing information is displayed using this format: ►example of Warning/Error text◄

Removed the Use TOS FIVE as an Expert user option from the Control sheet

Subraces creation made easy!

The ability to fetch an existing Race and plug it directly in the Custom Race area has been added in this build. This allows you to either tweak an existing race or to create a subrace from an existing race. This will make creating these races much quicker.

The ability to define an extra feature (or more), which is perfect to support things like Supernatural Gifts, has been added in this update.

Added

1.52.10
January 28, 2020

A custom Class can now have a custom spell list!

This new update to TOS FIVE allows a custom class to gain a different spell list from the Core classes. So a custom class could have a mix of spells unlike any of the existing classes!! The changes to the Spell table means that you will have to update your ADD-ONS (if you use any), as the format for spells. This functions exactly like in TOS+, so the existing documentation remains valid.

Added

Added the ability to create custom spell lists for custom classes

1.51.58

Added a Fetch Existing Class button to fill one of the custom class slot with one of the core classes

Fixed

Microsoft Upgraded the Formula Language in Excel!

The newer versions of Excel have made changes to the formula language of Excel, which can cause issues in existing Products (details here: https://theonlysheet.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=12127 ). This new build of the Sheet fixes these issues (hopefully all of them!) so that the Sheet remains compatible with all version of PC Excel, from Excel 2007 to the latest Excel 365! If you are experiencing issues, be sure to report it in the Gremlin section of the forum, using the issue reporting form found therein!

Spells Planners for Custom Classes

I added the ability to define the spell list that a Custom Class can use, when it is a casting class! A new entry in the custom class section lets you define which spell list your casting class has access to. So basically, this lets you use the Spell Planners for your custom classes.
