TOS FIVE Release Notes (2023)

More Improvements!

Another update that adds improvements to our 5e Manager! Details below.

Effective Caster Level effects added

Support for Archetypes that grant the ability to cast spells has been improved for the Spell Planners; Basically, the Effective Caster Level effets have been added to allow an effect to grant levels in an existing spell casting class without the need to manually adjust it!

Addon Reminder!

On Discord, user Goblite suggested a tip to grab Add-ons before anything else. While there is a message on the Control sheet about this, I modified the Sheet to also note this on the BACK sheet. TOS FIVE does need at least one of the shared add-ons to grant more options to players!

Attunement Time!

This update empowers the Sheet to track the Attuned Items of the character! So any magical items that is attuned, will get the "ᴬ" special symbol at the end of its description to denote that the item requires Attunement. An effect has been create to increase the number of items that can be attuned and a cell on the FRONT sheet (off-print area) can also be used to adjust this number of items. Furthermore, any items that requires attunement will be shown in green to give a visual cue to this requirement. Those who prefer not to see this indication can turn this coloring OFF via an option in the Visibility Option section on the far-right of the FRONT sheet!

Tracking Diseases!

This update adds to the last build, which focused on adding Trackers. A new category - Diseases - has been added to the Dashboard so these may be not only be tracked, but have their effect applied to the Character as well. Note that these will reset with a Short Rest and Long Rest only if you have entered a duration and time type in the Active Effects Table! The Short Rest and Long Rest buttons on the Dashboard were also fixed, as they were triggering before the user had a chance to confirm his intentions.

List of diseased added on the Dashboard:

Blinding Sickness
Cackle Fever
Filth Fever
Flesh Rot
Mindfire
Seizure
Sewer Plague
Sight Rot
Slimy Doom

Tracker Time!

This latest build adds a Tracker section to the Dashboard, allowing players more possibilities when playing dynamically! Trackers are also useful as a reminder of what the ability does, thanks to its short description. Trackers can be selected by using the Quick Picks button and expanding the Trackers section. Trackers start either by the class/race name from which they originate, or the "All" keyword for generic trackers (ex. for Temporary HPs). A few Feats trackers are also available.

Furthermore, all these trackers are tied-in the Short Rest and Long Rest button on the Dashboard! This means that any tracker that requires a SR/LR will also be reset in the Active Effects table when using these buttons 🙂

RACIAL TRACKERS: These apply to Races

Ribbon Be Gone!

As you well know, Excel offer a 'Ribbon' at the top of its windows. While this holds many shortcuts which are essential to build an Excel Sheet, it is NOT useful when using TOS FIVE. You waste around 20% in the window height when the Ribbon is displayed!! So I added a new button in the Control page (Options section) that allows you to hide the ribbon and regain all that screen area. This is specially useful when using the DashBoard sheet!

Spell Planner Improvement

Double-clicking on a spell name in the Spell Planners will open up your browser to the full description of the spell, allowing you to get all the juicy details. Obviously, the SpellPlanner themselves don't have the area to display everything for some spells, so this will be handy to quickly verify all the intricacies of a spell!

More Custom Feats!

A small update to increase from 50 to 100 the number of Custom Feats supported

Custom Feat Support

This small update fixes the missing effects for some of the user-created Feats, as discovered by user Quondel_081308.

Improved Custom Data

This updates improved upon the Custom Data table found on the Customize sheet. This table allows you to define your own Data, and access it as you need. Single Data Points have also been added, allowing you to define simpler 'one cell' formulas that you can reuse wherever you want within your Character. These improvements are geared toward those who like to Home Brew their Characters!

Extra Attack shown on the Dashboard

In this update, the number of extra attacks will be shown on the Dashboard's weapon section allowing you to quickly see what you have available. More fixes were also applied, as well as improvements to the TOS Web. Speaking of TOS Web, we added the ability to see the Stats Block of a Character as you can see below (currently in beta testing: Be sure to help out by reporting issues on the #tosweb sections of the Discord server)

Internal Upgrades

Updated some internals (not visible) and fleshed out the Welcome sheet!
