---------------------------

Chuck,

Didn't mean to offend -- just trying to help.

I'm running 5.16.4, so I don't know about what new stuff you've been working on... However, in my system, "features.left" and "view.weapon.num" don't seem to do much, if anything.  Again -- this is on 5.16.4.
I can see how "features.right" can potentially effect things (and certainly my mods screw that up!).  However, I'd like to point out that even with a large number of skills, there is still more room beneath the skills section than there is beneath just a couple weapons.  ( I reckon at around 36 skills or so, its the same height as 2 weapons.)

Example:  My monk character sheet has, on the left column, 3 weapons + unarmed + flurry of blows.  (I edited my XSLT sheet to allow more than 3 weapons on page 1.)  On the right column containing 24 skills, the weapon proficiencies & languages (i moved them from page 2), my armor, stunning fist and ki pool.  Even with all that stuff on the right-hand side, I still have room for another 18 or so skills.

At any rate, it seems like maybe you were already working towards some sort of intelligent placement script/template/whatever, which was the whole point of my request:  better placement for these items.

Thanks

> The area under the weapons is easily crowded, especially if you have more than a couple weapons.  On the other hand, the area beneath the Skills is almost always wide open.  And by wide open, I mean quite a bit of space.
> I think it might be a good idea to move all the stuff between "protection" and "psionics" over to beneath the skills.  Of course, they need their width resized to fit, but that's pretty easy.
> If you really want to get slick, you could count the number of weapons vs the number of skill points and try to go from there.  But even without going that far, I think it would be pretty good to have all the stuff that is normally shoved underneath the weapons pushed over to right side of page 1.
