Mar 06, 2009 3:43:35 When you create a custom item to add to a character the CB should remember it and it should be an item you can then add to other characters.

For example, in my campaign the party were all awarded a medal. I had to recreate the medal for each character individually and add it to their character sheets one by one. I then decided to change the notes on the medal and had to go and update all the PC's character sheets.

It would have been better if I could have created a "medal" custom item and given it to each character. Then if I wanted to change the notes on "medal" I'd just change it in one place.

You already can. Go to the MANAGE tab, and click on Custom Rules. Voila, c'est la! I mean, and voila, it's there!

Have you verified that this makes the items available to other characters? I tried it several times (admittedly before the latest update), and could not get them to show up.

Errr, I have it up now. I've done that but there is no option to add it to a character...

If there is, how does it work?

Mar 06, 2009 18:57:03 You need to share the Campaign file with all the players and Load that campaign file for each character.

It would be much better if we could actually use that option to make items that actually work properly... alas.

Hopefully we can keep improving it over time.
