Overview
This is a simple feature that allows members to import character data via a URL. You can use any/all of the parameters noted below. You must use one of the corresponding values from the table below or the AD&D Toolkit will ignore the parameter. The first parameter/value pair is required: x_3p=1
An Example
https://adndtoolkit.com/character-new/?x_3p=1&x_system=2&x_class=paladin&x_name=Strongheart
The above is an example of a URL string that would successfully import the desired System, character Name, and Class.
Ability Adjustments
There are a variety of Ability adjustments that can be made due to factors such as Race, Age, and Exceptional Strength. These are all applied in AD&D Toolkit post-creation. Your third-party character data is read in pre-creation. Therefore, any adjustments ought to be left out of the data you submit. Only the raw values from your chosen rolling protocol ought be submitted. (eg. 4d6 drop the lowest)
