Advanced - Named Cells
BACK to the Advanced User Guide
The Sheet uses thousands of Named Cells to facilitate the creation of formulas. Although this page will not try to list all those named cells, the most useful ones are listed by category.
The Generic Named Cells
The Generic Named Cells are [mostly] used to format the 'look' of class/race abilities. Refer to the Standard Practices for more information on this!
| Named Cells | Description |
|---|---|
| BULLET | Adds a bullet for lists of abilities |
| CR | CR is used to add a Carriage return to the text of a formula |
| CRB | Same as doing CR&BULLET |
| CRT | Same as doing CR&TAB |
| CRTeB | Same as doing CRT&eBULLET |
| CRTs | Same as doing CR&TABs (or CR&TAB&TAB) |
| CRTss | Same as doing CRTs&TAB (or CR&TAB&TAB&TAB) |
| eBULLET | Similar to BULLER, but it uses an 'empty' bullet |
| TAB | This inserts a specific number of spaces to assist in formating lists of abilities |
| TABs | Same as doing TAB&TAB |
The Boolean Named Cells
These Named Cells simply return a TRUE/FALSE value, based on the status of the Character. These all start with b_. The Laptop worksheet has special options which will override some of these values: The "No Armor" and "No Shield" check boxes. Basically, these allow you to tell the Sheet that you are NOT currently wearing/holding the Armor/Shield you defined on the Back worksheet! (this is useful only if you use The Sheet with your Laptop during games) For instance, if your character steps on a boat, you might want to remove your Full Plate Armor (not that you are going to sink or anything like that...!). Another situation is if you use the Two-Weapon Fighting style, you might want to use both hands for holding weapons, so your shield, even if defined in the Back worksheet, will not be taken into consideration in your Armor Class!
| Named Cells | Description |
|---|---|
| b_HeavyArmor | TRUE: if the Character is currently wearing an Heavy Armor |
| b_HeavyLoad | TRUE: if the current Load Class is Heavy |
| b_HoldingShield | TRUE: if the Character is holding a Shield UNLESS you selected "No Shield" on the Laptop worksheet |
| b_LightArmor | TRUE: if the Character is wearing a Light armor, or no armor OR if you selected "No Armor" on the Laptop worksheet |
| b_LightLoad | TRUE: if the Load Class (from Gear) is Light |
| b_MediumArmor | TRUE: if the Character is wearing a Medium Armor |
| b_MediumLoad | TRUE: if the Load Class (from Gear) is Medium |
| b_WearingArmor | TRUE: if the Character is wearing any kind of Armor |
