#16, "Access to helpfiles when rolling?"

Seems like it'd be helpful for first time players, especially. Let people have access at least to the racial and class helpfiles when rolling their character. The one line blurb you're given on each isn't really enough to base a decision on, when you aren't already familiar with the differences of each.

They look like outdated files though. nt, GinGa, 03-Jan-09 02:41 PM, #3

Maybe expand this to all helpfiles?, Splntrd, 03-Jan-09 02:41 PM, #4

Just tried it again to make sure. Not sure where you aren't able to see them, but when it asks you to pick a race, you can read the race helpfiles, and when it asks you to pick a class, you can read the class helpfiles.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Guess I probably should have checked the race/class stuff too, but I thought I remembered not being able to. My bad..

Think we can extend it to that though?

To keep this from confusing newbs, maybe just for people who answered "no" on the new to CF option.

There is web help for those who want to look at that stuff. I think the majority of the stuff you need to create a character is now available.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
