The Dresden Files > DFRPG Resource Collection
DFRPG Character Calculator & Sheet (LibreOffice/OpenOffice Spreadsheet)
Tsunami:
Here's a little something i've been working on. It has grown and developed since i've started with the Dresden RPG, and i think it has matured enough to let it loose on the public.
Download -> DFRPG CharCalc Spreadsheet <- Download
Open Document Spreadsheet created in LibreOffice
Use LibreOffice, OpenOffice and the like to open.Used Fonts:
Preston Script - Used on Sheets
Bank Gothic - Used on Sheets
Zhayad - Used on Sheets (ornamental purposes only)
Another one is Calibri. Follow the link to see how to get it. Only used in the Backend, so really not necessary.
Printout Sheets are formatted for A4 Paper.On "popular" Demand
XLS Version or the Spreadsheet
This is simply the ODS version saved in XLS Format. Hence No Guaranties on Functionality !!
No Bugfixes. No seperate developement.
If there's someone out there who wants to build an Excel sheet based on this... go ahead.Table Descriptions:
"Backend" for all the basics (Aspects, Skills, Powers, Stunts, Stress, Consequences)
Those are outputted on the various Sheets (Standart, Were-Form, the Short variants of both, and the Text Sheet)
All powers from YS and some of the Stunts (not all yet), as well as some homemade ones are in there. On how to add more see the notes on "tables"
"Magic Stuff" for the Spellcasting parts (Evocation/Channeling, Thaumaturgy/Ritual, Foci, Enchanted Items, Rotes)
Magic Stuff is currently outputted on the background table, this is subject to change.
"Background" is a table that is both a Backend and Output.
"tables" contains all the background tables needed for calculations.
This is also where you can add additional Power-Levels as well as Thaumaturgy and Evocation Specializations. (Just type them into the blue areas)
The same goes for new Stunts or Powers, that you want to be able to select via Dropdown menu, you just type them into the blue areas.
If the predefined lines are not enough, you can simply insert more.
I think i have managed to make it fairly self explanatory. If anything is unclear, just ask.
Ok, can't think of anything more to write right now.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

For some reason Excel 2007 won't open it - Excel 2007 appears to have the option to open .ODS files, but gives a warning about potential file corruption.

This is an open office file type I believe. Lucky for you though open office is free!
I took a look, SO MANY SHEETS!
Also it would be nice to have one that didn't have the werewolf stuff on it. Physical immunity is missing, and was there an entry for the catch? I like how it fills in the descriptions for everything. Oooh and how the skills disappear from the lest as you select them.
It would be great to have a section with modified trappings like defense and initiative. And also the powers and stunts seem so far apart when scrolling through them
Still though this is an awesome contribution to the community and the only one of its kind I've seen so far. Congratulations are in order.

Sorry about that, I don't use MS Office at all, so i can't test for compatibility.
And converting spreadsheets is always a bit of a game of chance. I guess if you really want to use it you'll have to get OpenOffice.

I've updated the sheet. It now has a checkboc that lets you hide the Were-Form Skill Block on the Backend. You'll need to allow macros in the sheet for it to work.

Added.

--- End quote ---
I've added entries for the Catch and the Stacked Catch.
I didn't bother before because they serve no real purpose, since the description and cost are different each time.
So the entries are there now, but they provide no automatic description or cost.

The number of variables is way to high there. Stunts can move trappings around so much that it's basically impossible to really keep track of all changes.
It's easier to just do that by hand and note them somewhere.

Hmmm.... hadn't noticed that before, and i really have no idea why it's the case. I'll look into it.

No problem! Just an inquiry to see if anyone who *does* has Excel was able to load it.
