This is large enough to need discussion.

New tags

Two new BB tags for use on character sheets.

Abilities

Use a hash for titles. Renders as collapsible sections.

Snippet

Snippets renders like a spoiler, but that's not the point - the point is how they integrate.

Integration

The new tags integrate with the character sheet on the advanced posting page.

Feats/Abilities and Spells are already built-in for 5e, but it would pick up the new abilities section and snippet tags too.

Choosing a snippet adds it to the post text, choosing one of the abilities adds it to the text as a spoiler.

I'm entirely in favor of all of that. The snippet, the ability-as-spoiler, those will make significant improvements to play.

I like the abilities. I'm not quite sure I understand the Snippet feature yet. It's just an easy way to add info from the sheet into a post?

Yes. I’ve seen a number of players manually do this during combat (with HP, AC, spell slots).

But I suppose it might be used for other things too.

We've been using the Snippet thingy on the DnD5e game I'm playing during combat. It would be a really nice addition, along with the rest. Totally in favor.
