Hello, I am wondering if there is a resource for "how to's" with the DDB character sheet, or if there isn't such a thing can anyone advise on the following? 1) I have Expertise in four skill checks (rogue 1st and 6th levels), but the "features and traits" panel on my sheet only shows the two I picked more recently; is this a bug? Looks like the same thing for ability score improvement, it only shows my most recent choice. Can I fix/edit this? (for the expertise its fine bc the bonus is incorporated into skill checks, but its just bothering me that the list is incomplete when I review the "features and traits" panel). 2) In the story our party gained the Pack Tactics feature, normally reserved for monsters. What would be the best way to go about adding this to our character sheets? I can create custom skills and actions but not seeing an obvious way to do this for features or feats or other abilities. 3) we also have advantage on Survival checks, all the time. I see I can customize the Survival skill check but always rolling with advantage isnt one of the options, so is there another way to do it? 4) we have a house rule for damage from critical hits (roll all damage dice as normal, then for second "roll" all dice are maxed). I have noticed we frequently get slowed down just by trying to calculate damage using custom rolls and different damage die for different types etc. Is it possible for us to set up a custom "critical damage" rolls? (assuming it would need to be done separately for each weapon/spell but that would be fine.)
1) Try clicking the feature and see if it shows up. It's recorded in the builder and shows on the character sheet skills which are expertise so it's not a big deal.
2) It's situational advantage so there's no way to express this on the sheet beyond text (which can be added by a feat with just description).
3) The sheet has no "always on" advantage/disadvantage. You can customise the sheet to add the advantage and a note about when it applies/where it comes from/etc. Or make a feat or something.
4. Yes.
I made a video which may help understand some of the custom stuff better. It's long but it has chapters to get to stuff that is more relevant for you.
