    ADD 2 vs. ADD 3.5. for one thing. Both were very nicely done.

    This picture shows just about how close IWD1 comes to what we call feats.

    You know, I forgot about stacking feats when I made my original suggestion - if you are allowed to take something like "Extra Turning" multiple times, then you will need a way to show increments like the apps have done.

    I made it so you can simply take it multiple times. I went with the two list panes.

    Please have a look at the latest release, it includes the new feat dialog:
    http://www.co8.org/forum/showthread.php?p=98825#post98825

    I recognize that right now, it's too cramped and I've been thinking about either using a different dialog (so I can make it bigger) or resizing the feat dialog so it overlaps the model/charsheet to the left, making them not visible.

    Regards,

    DS, are you by any chance planning on making the feat descriptions a bit more informative.

    Some of them are rather general.

    I would love to see a description that actually tells what a ranger's favored enemy is when you choose a type.

    If I didn't have the books I never would have known that "vermin" includes spiders.

    Just a thought, nice job so far.

    Hmmm. I haven't thought about that yet, but it's certainly possible. But aren't favored enemies a class-feature and not a feat per-se? Or is there a feat that allows you to take additional favored enemies?

    Regards,
    Storm
