Default Re: How to get a character's Weight field?

GCA doesn't keep track of a characters weight. Or, rather, the place that it does is not meant to be accessed like that; it's essentially just a text note, and is completely optional to be filled in by the player. I don't believe there's a way to access the text field and turn it into a numeric value within GCA.

If you want to track a characters weight you'll need to create a new attribute for it (aka statistic; e.g. a trait you can access with the ST: prefix). And it is going to be disconnected from the "weight" field of the character sheet.
