WELCOME to TOS FIVE series 3 release notes!
The series 3 of TOS FIVE adds the ability to create a Multiclass Character with up to SIX different Classes, as opposed to three in previous editions! Because the FRONT sheet did not have enough space to add new entries - it is quite efficient with space after all! - the extra classes can be applied in the OFF-PRINT section, on the right side. If you use the Quick Picks to select your 4th to 6th class, the 'Class' Quick Picks (The blue Wizard hat) will automatically know where to place your selection(s) and show you where you add the class level. You can thank user Aksha for this new feature... 🙂
Also, in recent years, more focus has been placed on the ability score modifier, instead of the value itself; Understandably, Characters use their modifiers in many aspects of their statistics. With that in mind, the modifier is now larger and inside an oval to easily distinguish it from the ability scores, the checks and the saves.
The Extra attacks, Initiative and Inspiration points sections were squeezed together to make space for the Death Save (noted as "Dth"), because more space was required for the Resting section, which now needs to handle up to 6x classes.
As always with such design changes, where a large array of formulas were affected, there might be unforeseen issues, we humbly ask that you report any bugs in the Gremlins! (Bugs, Issues and Typos) section of the community forums. Be sure to use the Bug Reporting Template) to help us reduce the number of unknowns while working to fix any issues found.

Portrait Time!
This new update adds the ability to add your Character's Portrait on the FRONT sheet - overlapping the TOS FIVE logo. This works exactly like the same feature available in TOS+ and TOS 2nd. For TOS FIVE, the image ratio is about 1.69. You can access this feature (Load, Delete and Stretch buttons) on the Off-Print section, on the right side of the FRONT sheet. Use the Stretch toggle button to adjust your Portrait as you prefer. Try using a small file; something like 400x by 235 is good! JPG is the preferred format, although you can use a .BMP or .GIF as well.
Added the ability to Load a Portrait on the FRONT sheet
Added the MULTIPLY named cell, which has the multiply symbol (useful for text formatting. Example: This formula: =MULTIPLY&"2 damage", outputs: ×2 damage
