[QUOTE="Pauln6, post: 6362694, member: 6777422"] I think the sheet is great. It's the only one to date that has enough room for all my group's attacks. I think that keeping abilities under separate headers helps you find things but it's not essential. I always find it odd that racial abilities on some sheets get almost as much space as class abilities when class abilities need enough space to last 20 levels. How much space does a human need for racial abilities anyway? So it might be better just lumping them in one section. Also, some classes have no short rest abilities and some classes have loads so having a few slots on the sheets rarely hits the sweet spot. Maybe race and class abilities need a supplementary sheet like magic items with power cards like 4e with tick boxes to show if an ability is at-will, or refreshes on long rest or on a short rest plus a few usage boxes. It looks like warlocks with invocations and fighters with manoeuvres might be the classes that will need the most space. What I find most useful is enough space to put in reminder lines to summarise mechanics to save keep having to look them up in the book. What we've been doing with basic is cutting and pasting descriptions into crib sheets tailored for each character but can't do that with a hard copy PHB so summary space is important. [/QUOTE]
