Default Re: Setting Campaign Base TL

Nor does it remember the TL from one character to another. It's more of an annoyance than a bug.
The globe that calls up Campaign Settings will let you change the character's TL for subsequent skills, but will not update ones you already have on the sheet. Since many people and games use characters with differing TLs, I don't want the change of the setting to automatically change all TL skills, as that may not be what you intended. Which means to offer the option would require asking the user which skills they want to adjust, which means another form, which I just haven't taken the time to do.

If you want to change the Default TL for all characters that you create in the future, that's an option that you set in Options, on the Default Character Options tab. You can also change the default settings for character points and limits, your preferred character sheet, and a few miscellaneous other things on that tab.

The "change TL and change the affected skills" thing is on the list of things to do, but when it might happen, I don't know. The other stuff you mentioned I addressed above.

You're welcome. Thanks for the thanks.
