James Anderson's Character Generator for 7th Sea 2nd Edition

thistledownsname@gmail.com
Version 1.0.5
Released 8-12-2016

I like to make character generators, so when I got the new rules for 7th sea I dove in and
made a new generator. Compared to first edition, the coding on this was vastly simpler.
The Builder tab is where you actually build the character. The boxed areas are for you to
fill in as you go along. Some will limit what you can type, others will not. The shaded area
is for general users of the generator. The guts of the generator are in the hidden area on
the right.
While the sheet is protected, there is no password on the protection, and if you feel like
tampering with it, go right ahead. But if you then re-upload it, please keep what I've
written on this page intact.

The Print tab is my own style of character sheet, with a bit more information on it. But it
also takes 2 or 3 pages. It will fill in everything from the builder tab. The style is inspired
by my old 7th sea character generator, which was originally based upon NecroBob's 7th
Sea Character Generator. The stories area might be too small - I'm still messing around
with that.

The Sheet tab imports the information from the builder tab onto something similar to the
character sheet provided in the rulebook. It has a second page to it that copies the
descriptions of various things listed on the main sheet, but due to how excel treats
wrapped text some rows may need to be resized before printing.
The adv shuffle tab (hidden by default) is a series of functions to remove the blanks
between advantages before loading them onto the sheets.
The Styles tab (hidden by default) has tables for the fighting styles and sorcery
descriptions.
