[QUOTE="Benjamin Olson, post: 9077665, member: 6988941"] Unless the various leveled features can be usefully described on those little bits of line, I think an area of lined space for writing "features" freeform would be more useful. I mean I know from experience helping hundreds of kids fill out the "features" section for 5e D&D characters that just having a freeform lined box is initially confusing to many players, but the thing is that once you get the hang of it, you write in the information you need a reminder of with the amount of description you need to be useful for you. The first 5e Fighter I played I wrote out exactly what Second Wind did. When I rewrote the character sheet a few levels later the feature was reduced to bullet points and really the only one I needed was the "d10+level" point. Eventually I was just writing Second Wind with no description. Your character sheet seems set up for people who have reached that final step of familiarity with features, but they are the ones who least need features written on their character sheets. Also, unless your game is going to usually get to high levels, you might be reserving a lot of real estate for levels most characters won't reach. [/QUOTE]
