Hello very new to wiki and making web pages. Having lots of fun tho, this site is great.

My question is...

When I make an NPC under the character tab is there anyway to let my players view the bio/fluff stuff but keep the character sheet secret from them?

thanks
keith

    Couldn't you just choose to locate the crunch in the GM only section?
    That way description is used for , well Description
    "The man before you is a 6 foot 11 inches muscle bound barbarian with a really small head in proportion to his body. The size of his axe hoever encourages you to keep any disparaging size commetns to yourself Bio stay as bio
    "Thrud grew up wherever he wanted to as from an early age he was incredibly antisocial and belligerent in the extreme" and Crucnh in GM section
    "Str 18:00, Int 6" etc..

    That only works if you don't use the Character Sheets.

    It would definitely be preferable to have the character sheets be visible only to the GM and the assigned player. I'd rather the players not be able to see each other's sheets since World of Darkness is a game of intrigue.

    Both this and MageMistress' suggestion would be incredibly awesome. I don't really have any more to add.

    +1 It seems like you could add a GM only option to the character sheet.

    I agree that Obsidian Portal should provide options to make character sheets visible only to GMs , or to GMs and and a single assigned player.

    As MageMistress suggested, some players may want to use the character sheets without broadcasting their alignment or character statistics.

    Moreover, as a GM, I find it very disappointing that I can't use the character sheets to efficiently record NPC stats without sharing that information with players. It defeats the purpose of using them.

    It's been some time since this issue was first raised. Might this feature be implemented anytime soon? Or has it already been implemented as an "Ascendant Membership" feature?

    Many thanks

    Yes GM only information is an Ascendant feature.

    True, but GM only DSTs are not an Ascendant feature, so this is still a feature in progress.
