I'm working on a character sheet generator for a game site I run and I'm constructing the first sheet we need. Ultimately the sheet needs to be saved to a database. I'm looking for feedback on the code I have so far. Eventually it needs to be able to pass every choice the User makes back to the database for storage. Any critique / tips for what I have so far would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to figure this out on my own but I'd rather not get too far into it only to find what I have isn't going to work.
