[QUOTE="TikkchikFenTikktikk, post: 5316119, member: 67494"] After multiple requests here and more than half a decade of evolution (neverending!) I am happy to finally present [SIZE=7][COLOR=Red] [FONT=Impact][COLOR=White][B]Tikkchik Fen Tikktikk's Ultimate (Editable!) Character Sheet[/B][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE] What is so "ultimate" about this sheet? [LIST] [*]Everything an experienced player needs to play the game is [B]on one--the first--page[/B]. Ignore the other pages if you want. [*]The first page has been carefully laid out so [B]everything is where you need it, expect it, and want it to be[/B] to make checks easy and combat speedy. [*][B]Action Index[/B] on the first page! [*][B]Complete descriptions[/B] for racial traits, class/path/destiny/theme features, and feats on the first page! [*]The second page is a [B]role-player and journaler's dream[/B], with lots of room for character description, notes on the current campaign, etc. [*]The third page (through to the magic item and ritual pages once you get to the higher levels) contains [B]complete power descriptions[/B]! This can't be emphasized enough, and I highlight the benefits below. [*]Pages beyond the third have room for [B]full magic item descriptions and ritual descriptions[/B], formatted similarly to my custom power description! [*][B]It's printed, not handwritten[/B], so you can actually figure out your character's state and options at a glance while avoiding mistakes in rulings. [*]Unlike the Character Builder sheet, this is [B]nice to look at[/B] and easy to read (I am biased). [*]And, as opposed to all of those gorgeous sheets that can only been written on by hand or edited with expensive design software, [B]it's editable[/B] in the darn-near universal word processor! [/LIST] Why am I so excited by my custom power description layout? [LIST] [*]It is [B]more condensed but easier to read and use[/B] than the official layout. [*]It includes the [B]complete power description--including flavor text[/B]--while being easier to read and use than the power card layout. [*]Pre-calculates accuracy and damage, speeding up combat [*]Indicates the range thanks to [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/4268238-post97.html"]@[/URL][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=53621"]Daelkyr[/URL][/U]'s [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/4268238-post97.html"]Attack Icon Font[/URL] [/LIST] Technical Notes: [LIST] [*]The blank template is the file "4E Full Page Character Sheet TEMPLATE.doc". [*]It is created in Word 2007 for Windows, though in the 97-2003 format. [*]They require the Calibri typeface and the afore-linked Attack Icon Font. [*]I've tried opening this in Open Office, Pages, and Word 2003 for Mac (don't have access to 2008, sorry) and they all destroy the table and column formatting on import. I haven't been able to recreate this sheet to my liking in any of those programs either. Sorry to support the Microsoft monopoly, but I have found Word is the best tool for this job.

(That will probably never happen, but it's nice to dream.) [*]When editing in Word, make sure you have "View Gridlines" turned on. It's under the Layout tab on the ribbon. [*]I've included PDFs as reference material. [*]The template is completely empty. The Barqan Lvl 3 .doc uses the most recent power description format for you to use as an example. [*]The Dak (level 2 Githzerai Monk) character is an example of the sheet from Spring 2010, and the Lamothi (level 5 Elf Wizard) character (requires the Futura Book typeface and the Attack Icon Font) is an example of the sheet from Summer 2008.
