How to Use

1. Filling Out the Sheet
   • Click on any of the dice buttons (e.g., d4, d6, etc.) to select the die type for each attribute or skill.
   • Use the “Add” buttons to insert more skills, powers, gear, hindrances, edges/advances, or weapons.

   • Click Save Character to store it in your browser’s IndexedDB storage.
   • Your character will be saved locally in your browser and persist between sessions.
   • Click New Character at any time to start fresh.

Browser Storage

• Data Persistence
  • Characters are saved to your browser’s IndexedDB storage.
  • Data persists between browser sessions and closing/reopening the browser.
  • Each browser maintains its own storage, so characters saved in Chrome won’t appear in Firefox.
• Storage Limitations
  • IndexedDB storage is tied to the domain, so if you move the HTML file to a different server, the saved data won’t transfer.
  • Different browsers have different storage limits, but they are typically more than enough for character data.
  • For backups or transferring characters between devices, use the Export/Import functionality.

Customizing

• CSS Customization
  • The main styling is defined at the top of deadlands-character-sheet.html within a <style> block.
  • You can modify colors, fonts, and layout by changing the :root variables and the .section, .dice-button, .weapon-row, etc. classes.
• Adding More Skills/Powers by Default
  • In the HTML, simply duplicate the existing rows or write new rows with the desired skill/power name.
  • Adjust the JavaScript if you want custom logic (like specialized skill dice or special fields).
• Resizing Grids
  • Each grid (for powers, weapons, etc.) is set with grid-template-columns.
  • Update those definitions if you need more or fewer columns, or if you want different widths.
