4e Fan Creations and House RulesWorking on variant powers? Statting up a PC race or your version of a monster? Creating or converting an adventure? Put it here!
My friend e-mailed me this sheet. Perhaps some of that going on explains the lack of downloads. This is hands down my favorite sheet to use. My only suggestions are:
- Create a stripped down version (pages 1 and 8 with some combination of 3 and 7 on the inside) for those of us who *do* still use power cards. For some classes the power tracker is fine, but others can't fit all the power description in the field.
- Give us a place to put Utility powers.
Some cool stuff that other sheets could take from yours:
- Places to fill in conditional bonuses to . . .everything.
- Organizing skills by their ability.
- Well constructed workspace. This always catches things I miss.
Even if you don't *think* it is being used a lot, it is. And those of us who use it will appreciate even the little things you do.
Since there seems to be a resurgence in interest I'll do some work on the sheets this week, and try and implement these suggestions. I'll give a 'for power cards' version a shot.
Thanks for the feedback, it is nice to know it is being used!
Is there a way to make the personality aspects editable on our side? So that we could simply delete the personality aspects that do not apply to our character, or simply write in our own stuff if we choose?
Here is a stripped down 1 page (double sided) version of the booklet, for use with power cards. I've taken out the power reference sheet, a lot of the fluffy sections (personality, history), and focused on crunchy bits.
It is in PDF letter without form-fill or autocalculate until I get some feedback on layout first (its a pain to alter after!)
I'd like to hear what people think, especially from those that wanted a power-card friendly version.
In the meantime, I'll make some tweaks to the old 2 page booklet and update them later this week.
I'm going to take a look at populating your sheet from the WotC char gen xml save files. Would that be OK?
I'm not shure how I would distribute it, nor yet just how I'd do it. If it was just me I'd leave it as a c++ linux program...
Can a PDF be programmed to read and parse a datafile?
Please feel free to try and get the two to talk. I'd love to use the Character Builder with my sheets All I ask is you leave the 'Verys Arkon' logo on it.
I have no idea how you do this, it is beyond my ability. If you need the original files let me know.

This is sweet! I anxiously await the fillable version!
I picked a character sheet for my group to use within the first few weeks of play. I only just noticed your sig, Verys and after your great work on the 4e pre-release rules compilation I thought I'd check it out.
I'm amazed. My group will definitely be making the switch as soon as I buy more ink for my printer.

Thanks for the update. Have been using this (version 1.2) for a couple of weeks and another player noticed it and wanted to try it out. Our group has a mix of just character sheet users and power card users. Will get back to you after this weeks session w/ feedback.
Appreciate you not giving up on the project.
Cheers,
Al

Last weeks session was canceled but here goes with some observations filling out both sheets.
-2 of the emblems (for AC & Reflex save) could be slightly bigger. Feels cramped filling these in compared to the other two.
-Hit Point workspace needs an additional square for adding up HP's. For either a feat bonus (eg toughness) or PP (eg dreadnought).
-Ability score workspace feels cramped writing in the final score. Looks like you have room for an additional line in that workspace that you're not using
why not make the final (Total) a square instead of a rectangle, and bigger..use up the dead space.
That's my 2 cents.
In case I haven't mentioned it previously, really like the overall design.
I'm surprised it isn't more popular as well, because everyone in my group prefers it over the others we've found by far.
I'm sure as time passes, more and more downloads will happen.
For example, I didn't know this existed before today... then I downloaded, looked over and said, "coooooool."
