Wanted to voice my thanks for the excel sheet, it's made explaining character creation to new players much easier.  I'll make a donation once I get my paypal updated later today.

Is it possible to add the alternate career paths for Seraphim or is it all ready in the sheet and I am just doing something wrong to get it

It should be already there …… looking at the code (I don't have the books handy) the pre-requisites are

Book of Martyrs = Yes

Career = Battle Sister

Rank >=5

Ballistics and Weapon skills >=35

Ambidextrous

Another request: 

Ability to select chosen ammo on the equipment page, and for DMG/Pen effects to be included in calculated profile on the print-sheet.

On the same subject, Bleeder rounds are listed in the Shop as "+3 damage to bio, ap doubled", but there is no mentioning of this AP doubling in the book, nor in the errata, as far as I can tell.

More oddities I compiled:

MINOR

Astartes Frag Grenade is listed as just Frag Grenade (which kept me from finding it for a while) and there is another entry that is also called Frag which I mistakenly had selected in the first place until I noticed the Blast score was off.

Frag has setting Core

Frag Grenade has Setting Astartes and really is Astartes Frag grenade

Blind Grenade has the same problem and should be Astartes Blind Grenade

BUG

Only Bionic Locomotion (+2), Bionic Heart (+1) and Bionic Arms (+2) seem to be giving the proper Toughness bonus. Keeping in mind that stacking Cybernetics can’t get you over +2.

Astartes Servo-Arm, Astartes Servo-Harness, Bionic Respitory give Body +2

Augur Array, Cybernetic Senses, Mind Impulse Unit give Head +2

And adding the stuff from The Lathe Worlds would be nice. No pressure :)

This might have been asked before, but the thread is a daunting 50+ pages long, but; Is there any way to add my own custom alternate career ranks? Also, suppose I would like to remove talents or skills granted by a starting Career (such as would be the case if I was trying to persuade my GM to give me Pistol Weapons Training (Universal) instead of Basic Weapons Training (Universal)) - adding the former as a free elite advance is easy enough, but removing the latter seems impossible.

There is no way to remove talents without making some changes under the hood. Thankfully that is fairly easy to do. You'll need to unhide the Menus sheet, find the row that grants the pistol training and delete that entry (in either the trained or basic skills section).

To add your own alternate rank the simplest thing to do is to replace one of the existing entries in the menus sheet and then unhide the advances sheet and add the talents and skills that you want. Copy down the formulas in columns A:D and T:V

I'm afraid I don't have access to that book at the moment….. is there much to add?

Memetix said:

There are 7 new alternate ranks to add from the Lathes, as well as two new Elite advance packages.

 … and some gear :)

I can sense the anticipation ….. I should be able to borrow a copy tonight ….

To date I haven't implemented elite packages since they can be added as individual elite advances. Is this a good enough solution?

I'm sure you know that you can simply type in any gear you want on the equipment sheet, you don't have to select from the drop down menus based on your shop purchases. It is also easy to change any looked up values if, for instance, they are changed by ammo. All manual changes are saved in your .rtc file.

 Hey memetix

First I have to add my praise for this brilliant sheet.

Second, just asking but if you're adding the additional careers from lathe worlds could you also added the extras from book of judgment as well (or add it to the list for the next update).

much praise all the same.

I've been working on the Lathe worlds as well as some of the bugs mentioned in the recent posts. I could do with some beta testers please ….

If you don't mind emailing me any problems you find then you can download the beta release from my dropbox.

I'll try to get out a full release tomorrow or the day after depending on the feedback I receive.
