# Gsheet: Black Error Boxes

If you are seeing black boxes in your Gsheet, that's because some of the images for its style were lost to the void. The images are purely cosmetic and do not affect Gsheet's functionality, so it's optional to fix them.

The official template and the DW HB variant have been (mostly) fixed, so you can copy-paste the necessary formulas from them and onto your sheet. Tabs with missing images are:

• v2.1 (several on the top section, one in the bottom section)
• ? (the formulas for the Proficiencies box in v2.1 work for the missing images here too)
• Attack Info, Gear Info, Race Info, Class Info (the same formula works for each of the missing images in each of these)

# Breakdown of !a add (Adds Custom Attacks)

First, we have the command itself, which says we want to add an attack called Greatsword

!a add "Greatsword"

Next we want to cover for the to hit modifier, so we use the -b argument:

-b strengthMod+proficiencyBonus

With this, we specify that we want the bonus to the the strength modifier plus the proficiency bonus

Next we need the damage, so we use the -d argument:

-d 2d6+{strengthMod}[slashing]

We state that we want the damage to be 2d6 + strength modifier damage. In this case, since the damage involves dice and damage, etc, we need {} around the variable strengthMod. The brackets signify that we want to use variables as part of a math expression.

Now in your case, we want to add great weapon fighting as well, and this is where the ro<3 comes in (which means reroll any 1's or 2's once, and keep the second roll even if it is a 1 or 2 again) We add it to the end of the dice part:

-d 2d6ro<3+{strengthMod}[slashing]

Now if you want to add a description, you would add it like this:

-desc "This is the description of the attack"

But in this example, it won't be used.

Finally, let's put it all together:

!a add "Greatsword" -b strengthMod+proficiencyBonus -d 2d6ro<3+{strengthMod}[slashing]
