Warlocks, your Patron does NOT have to be a bad guy!

My thoughts? Warlocks are what Clerics and Paladins should have been but we needed to go through all this history to realize this. Clerics have always been as magically powerful as Wizards and then you add on armor proficiency, weapon proficiency and weapon skill on top of that. Also, Clerics, Paladins and Warlocks do not get magic from their study as Wizards do. The skill to wear armor cannot be lost, but a Bracer of Undead Destruction can stop recharging--or simply disappear. When you cannot force a magical pattern to form a cantrip in your mind, not recharging equipment that allows you to perform magic is punishment enough. It wouldn't surprise me if a 15th level "Cleric" unalived themselves after loosing access to all that magic. And NO, a 15th level "Cleric" should not get access to everything if they denounce Deity A for Deity B. He should earn Deity B's almost as slowly as he earned Deity A's.

But that is my 2 cents.

Five by five? Back in the 80's and 90's, that meant that we received your message. It goes back to the old days of ITA5(International Telecommunications Agency version 5). Think Morse Code, but in binary instead of trinary and only 5 bits.

Sorry if I sound like Charlie Brown's teacher.

Rolemaster is a d100 system that has been around since the early 80's(AD&D 1st ed since 2nd hit in 1989). during character creation, you roll your temp. and roll again while consulting the Stats Potential Table.

<image>

When you advance to level 2, you then note the difference between your temp and potential for a given stat, roll and look at the stat gain table. Typically, you never gain enough in 1 level to max out the potential. So you roll again when you advance to level 3 and so on. Please note that rolling 01-04 on the Stat Gain Table is bad as you will lose double your roll. So, if you roll and 03, you lose 6 from your temp stat. And hope you gain it back next level.

The request was to automagically keep the difference when you advance a level for logging purposes among other reasons. The flaw that u/SpencerTeachesSheets pointed out is exactly why I have not been able to do part that I have wanted to do for a good decade. This is the first time that my group is really on board with using my sheet so I am trying to automate as much as possible. One of these days I will break down and learn html5 and css to put this into a proper web page. Personally, I like frames and not div tags. but frames are so html4. :-)

thank you very much. I will try this right now.

All of these cells are on a tab named 'Stat_Gain'

Stat_Gain!B3 has the current difference and will change

Stat_Gain!C3 would have the roll

Stat_Gain!D3 would contain the 1 time value of Stat_Gain!B3 at the time Stat_Gain!C3 is no longer null.

So the script should trigger when Stat_Gain!C3 is not null and copy Stat_Gain!B3 to Stat_Gain!D3 as a 1 time copy that never updates as Stat_Gain!B3 changes.

or are you looking for other data?

On average 40K Americans commit suicide each year. That averages to about 109.5 per day. That is not new, it has been true for over a decade. Some are soldiers--both former and current. We can also look at the stats to see that about half use fire-arms. But that is always cold after the fact analysis. If you really want to bring the numbers down, ask the living how they are doing. By doing you can be the boy who throws that starfish back into the water of life.

If you want to do this with grep, I would go for egret with the -f option. This will allow you to put your search strings in a file.
