Heretic of The Seventh Circle
Now, to be clear, the (+) is about not being a jerk in this thread or derailing it to complain about basic types of character sheets or the like. I am soliciting feedback, here. Just, ya know, useful polite feedback. And also general discussion of character sheets.
So, Here is the latest version of my character sheet, made in Excel and Word because I don't know how to use any other program I can think of that could produce something like this. I think it's pretty slick, and puts pretty much everything you'd want on the front page, while maintaining readability and ease of use. it's a game where the books should only be open during prep and character creation, ideally.
The success ladder is the most obvious "I could save space and have it look cleaner if I was better at graphic design" element of the sheet.
Lastly, the second and third pages are less and less complete, compared to the first page, because the first page took a lot of time, so I'm still working on those, and also because the first page is the most important.
But also, in general, what do you want from a character sheet? Do you prefer very simple sheets, very informative and throrough sheets, do you really want style and flair on the sheet or do you prefer plain utilitarian sheets?
