"Wiesbaden 1.17 (Excel) Character Sheet" D&D (v1.11) 1
- Author neofax
- Creation date
Here is the full dynamic Excel version. It has a LOT of options. You should be able to create any kind of character based on the PHB and the MM alternate race options. It also has power, initiative and magic item cards you can fill in. You still need the PHB for the exact details of the powers and rituals though. By Matthias Schäfer & Anna Werner.
QUICK MANUAL
==========================================
The excel sheet should pretty much explain itself. Here are some points you might need to understand the mechanics:
- You need to understand the D&D 4E rules. The sheet does not explain these to you.
- You need the D&D PHB 4E to completely fill in all fields. The power descriptions do not
automatically fill in. Only the power names can be selected. The rest you need to manually
type in using your PHB.
- Every character needs a unique version of the whole excel file. Simply save the file under your
character's name. There's currently no way to import data from on older version to the current one.
- Rule of thumb: If it's a yellow field you can/need to fill in the content yourself. All yellow fields
can be manipulated by you. You will see yellow fields on the charsheets as well.
Feel free to change the content as you wish.
- If you want to override an autogenerated value use the associated OVERRIDE field
- If you do not like certain aspects or if you want to change font sizes etc. Simply "UNPROTECT"
the sheet in your excel version. You can now freely change the formats to your liking.
- The Pro sheet relies on information on charsheet 1. If you want to benefit from any misc bonuses
add them on charsheet 1 to make them appear on the pro sheet.
- The damage fields on the Pro sheet are intended to give you maximum flexibility with different
weapons. In this case we suggest to type [W] instead of damage dice. Ultimately this is up to you.

FAQ

Is the Heroforge 4th Edition?
No, it isn't. There will be an own Heroforge Version for 4th Edition. The heroforge team is simply so kind to host the "Wiesbaden Charsheet" on their website. Please DO NOT post bugs or comments on the heroforge yahoo group.
What does "Wiesbaden" mean anyway?
It's the name of the German hometown of the programmers and designers of this sheet.
OLDER EXCEL VERSIONS
==========================================
We are programming the Wiesbaden Charsheet for Excel version 2007. Older versions are limited
to the amount of different formats a single Excel file can have. For these users we seperated the
original file in two smaller Excel files:
wiesbaden_charsheet_v????_XPversion.xls has all dynamic features.
wiesbaden_charsheet_v????_XPextras.xls has all non dynamic features.
Everyone else using Excel 2007 or newer only need:
wiesbaden_charsheet_v????_Full.xls

Version 1.17: RELEASED
Bug fixes:
- Magical Item Bonus does not get added twice anymore.
NOT A BUG!
==========================================
- Make sure you scroll up and down in the pop-up menus. You might miss an option you can pick!
- The bonus to saving throws (Human feat) is not listed on the char sheet. Fort, Ref, Will are NOT
saving throws anymore!
- Skill bonus for humans and eladrins is already included in the amounts of skill you can choose.
Skills you are automatically trained with are preselected as trained for you.
- Wizards DO NOT get an extra Utility power with expanded spellbook
- There ARE magic items which give bonuses to ability checks (see the Gauntlets of Ogre power for instance!)
Known issues:
==========================================
- Make sure you scroll up and down in the pop-up menus. You might miss an option you can pick!
- Only point-buy system avaiable
- Minor issues with Open Office
- The yellow fields indicate which fields you cen edit in the charsheet. However these fields will also
print yellow on a color printer.
- The charcheets are optimized for DIN A4. If you use US letter make sure you select the "Fit to page"
setting in your printing window
- If you select "Pact Initiate" it shows the pact type not the power you gain
Things we like and probably won't change:
==========================================
- Adding the full powers might be a step to far to get in trouble with the WotC legal department.
We won't cross this line.
- All PHB Potions are listed in backpack. Just add the number of potions you have next to it.
Sell price is per potion. Only because they are listed it doesn't mean you have them.
- No fields for ammunition is a good thing (Do you REALLY count your shot arrows?)
- No fields for character looks, background or traits. You visualize this in your head anyway.
- Worshipping a specific god isn't recognized as a prerequisite for the Channel Divinity Feats.
This way you can use the Override field for custom gods from other settings.
- Using a "staff" (opposed to a "quarterstaff") does not add a proficiency bonus to a Melee Basic
attack power (used with Str). Use the Override field to circumvent this or pick "Quarterstaff" if you
do Melee attacks with your staff implement.
- "Charsheet page 2": "Class powers" don't list the extra Utility and Daily powers Wizards aquire.
- No "Weight" fields. Ask your DM to stop being so anal if he burdens you to keep track of something
like this.
Here is the full dynamic Excel version. It has a LOT of options. You should be able to create any kind of character based on the PHB and the MM alternate race options. It also has power, initiative and magic item cards you can fill in. You still need the PHB for the exact details of the powers and rituals though. By Matthias Schäfer & Anna Werner.

Version 1.17: RELEASED
Bug fixes:
- Magical Item Bonus does not get added twice anymore.
NOT A BUG!
==========================================
- Make sure you scroll up and down in the pop-up menus. You might miss an option you can pick!
- The bonus to saving throws (Human feat) is not listed on the char sheet. Fort, Ref, Will are NOT
saving throws anymore!
- Skill bonus for humans and eladrins is already included in the amounts of skill you can choose.
Skills you are automatically trained with are preselected as trained for you.
- Wizards DO NOT get an extra Utility power with expanded spellbook
- There ARE magic items which give bonuses to ability checks (see the Gauntlets of Ogre power for instance!)
Known issues:
==========================================
- Make sure you scroll up and down in the pop-up menus. You might miss an option you can pick!
- Only point-buy system avaiable
- Minor issues with Open Office
- The yellow fields indicate which fields you cen edit in the charsheet. However these fields will also
print yellow on a color printer.
- The charcheets are optimized for DIN A4. If you use US letter make sure you select the "Fit to page"
setting in your printing window
- If you select "Pact Initiate" it shows the pact type not the power you gain
Things we like and probably won't change:
==========================================
- Adding the full powers might be a step to far to get in trouble with the WotC legal department.
We won't cross this line.
- All PHB Potions are listed in backpack. Just add the number of potions you have next to it.
Sell price is per potion. Only because they are listed it doesn't mean you have them.
- No fields for ammunition is a good thing (Do you REALLY count your shot arrows?)
- No fields for character looks, background or traits. You visualize this in your head anyway.
- Worshipping a specific god isn't recognized as a prerequisite for the Channel Divinity Feats.
This way you can use the Override field for custom gods from other settings.
- Using a "staff" (opposed to a "quarterstaff") does not add a proficiency bonus to a Melee Basic
attack power (used with Str). Use the Override field to circumvent this or pick "Quarterstaff" if you
do Melee attacks with your staff implement.
- "Charsheet page 2": "Class powers" don't list the extra Utility and Daily powers Wizards aquire.
- No "Weight" fields. Ask your DM to stop being so anal if he burdens you to keep track of something
like this.
Here is the full dynamic Excel version. It has a LOT of options. You should be able to create any kind of character based on the PHB and the MM alternate race options. It also has power, initiative and magic item cards you can fill in. You still need the PHB for the exact details of the powers and rituals though. By Matthias Schäfer & Anna Werner.
QUICK MANUAL
==========================================
The excel sheet should pretty much explain itself. Here are some points you might need to understand the mechanics:
- You need to understand the D&D 4E rules. The sheet does not explain these to you.
- You need the D&D PHB 4E to completely fill in all fields. The power descriptions do not
automatically fill in. Only the power names can be selected. The rest you need to manually
type in using your PHB.
- Every character needs a unique version of the whole excel file. Simply save the file under your
character's name. There's currently no way to import data from on older version to the current one.
- Rule of thumb: If it's a yellow field you can/need to fill in the content yourself. All yellow fields
can be manipulated by you. You will see yellow fields on the charsheets as well.
Feel free to change the content as you wish.
- If you want to override an autogenerated value use the associated OVERRIDE field
- If you do not like certain aspects or if you want to change font sizes etc. Simply "UNPROTECT"
the sheet in your excel version. You can now freely change the formats to your liking.
- The Pro sheet relies on information on charsheet 1. If you want to benefit from any misc bonuses
add them on charsheet 1 to make them appear on the pro sheet.
- The damage fields on the Pro sheet are intended to give you maximum flexibility with different
weapons. In this case we suggest to type [W] instead of damage dice. Ultimately this is up to you.

Is the Heroforge 4th Edition?
No, it isn't. There will be an own Heroforge Version for 4th Edition. The heroforge team is simply so kind to host the "Wiesbaden Charsheet" on their website. Please DO NOT post bugs or comments on the heroforge yahoo group.
What does "Wiesbaden" mean anyway?
It's the name of the German hometown of the programmers and designers of this sheet.
OLDER EXCEL VERSIONS
==========================================
We are programming the Wiesbaden Charsheet for Excel version 2007. Older versions are limited
to the amount of different formats a single Excel file can have. For these users we seperated the
original file in two smaller Excel files:
wiesbaden_charsheet_v????_XPversion.xls has all dynamic features.
wiesbaden_charsheet_v????_XPextras.xls has all non dynamic features.
Everyone else using Excel 2007 or newer only need:

Version 1.17: RELEASED
Bug fixes:

NOT A BUG!
==========================================
- Make sure you scroll up and down in the pop-up menus. You might miss an option you can pick!
- The bonus to saving throws (Human feat) is not listed on the char sheet. Fort, Ref, Will are NOT
saving throws anymore!
- Skill bonus for humans and eladrins is already included in the amounts of skill you can choose.
Skills you are automatically trained with are preselected as trained for you.
- Wizards DO NOT get an extra Utility power with expanded spellbook
- There ARE magic items which give bonuses to ability checks (see the Gauntlets of Ogre power for instance!)
Known issues:
==========================================
- Make sure you scroll up and down in the pop-up menus. You might miss an option you can pick!
- Only point-buy system avaiable
- Minor issues with Open Office
- The yellow fields indicate which fields you cen edit in the charsheet. However these fields will also
print yellow on a color printer.
- The charcheets are optimized for DIN A4. If you use US letter make sure you select the "Fit to page"
setting in your printing window
- If you select "Pact Initiate" it shows the pact type not the power you gain
Things we like and probably won't change:
==========================================
- Adding the full powers might be a step to far to get in trouble with the WotC legal department.
We won't cross this line.
- All PHB Potions are listed in backpack. Just add the number of potions you have next to it.
Sell price is per potion. Only because they are listed it doesn't mean you have them.
- No fields for ammunition is a good thing (Do you REALLY count your shot arrows?)
- No fields for character looks, background or traits. You visualize this in your head anyway.
- Worshipping a specific god isn't recognized as a prerequisite for the Channel Divinity Feats.
This way you can use the Override field for custom gods from other settings.
- Using a "staff" (opposed to a "quarterstaff") does not add a proficiency bonus to a Melee Basic
attack power (used with Str). Use the Override field to circumvent this or pick "Quarterstaff" if you
do Melee attacks with your staff implement.
- "Charsheet page 2": "Class powers" don't list the extra Utility and Daily powers Wizards aquire.
- No "Weight" fields. Ask your DM to stop being so anal if he burdens you to keep track of something
like this.
Here is the full dynamic Excel version. It has a LOT of options. You should be able to create any kind of character based on the PHB and the MM alternate race options. It also has power, initiative and magic item cards you can fill in. You still need the PHB for the exact details of the powers and rituals though. By Matthias Schäfer & Anna Werner.
QUICK MANUAL
==========================================
The excel sheet should pretty much explain itself. Here are some points you might need to understand the mechanics:
- You need to understand the D&D 4E rules. The sheet does not explain these to you.
- You need the D&D PHB 4E to completely fill in all fields. The power descriptions do not
automatically fill in. Only the power names can be selected. The rest you need to manually
type in using your PHB.
- Every character needs a unique version of the whole excel file. Simply save the file under your
character's name. There's currently no way to import data from on older version to the current one.
- Rule of thumb: If it's a yellow field you can/need to fill in the content yourself. All yellow fields
can be manipulated by you. You will see yellow fields on the charsheets as well.
Feel free to change the content as you wish.
- If you want to override an autogenerated value use the associated OVERRIDE field
- If you do not like certain aspects or if you want to change font sizes etc. Simply "UNPROTECT"
the sheet in your excel version. You can now freely change the formats to your liking.
- The Pro sheet relies on information on charsheet 1. If you want to benefit from any misc bonuses
add them on charsheet 1 to make them appear on the pro sheet.
- The damage fields on the Pro sheet are intended to give you maximum flexibility with different
weapons. In this case we suggest to type [W] instead of damage dice. Ultimately this is up to you.

Bug fixes:

NOT A BUG!
==========================================
- Make sure you scroll up and down in the pop-up menus. You might miss an option you can pick!
- The bonus to saving throws (Human feat) is not listed on the char sheet. Fort, Ref, Will are NOT
saving throws anymore!
- Skill bonus for humans and eladrins is already included in the amounts of skill you can choose.
Skills you are automatically trained with are preselected as trained for you.
- Wizards DO NOT get an extra Utility power with expanded spellbook
- There ARE magic items which give bonuses to ability checks (see the Gauntlets of Ogre power for instance!)
Known issues:
==========================================
- Make sure you scroll up and down in the pop-up menus. You might miss an option you can pick!
- Only point-buy system avaiable
- Minor issues with Open Office
- The yellow fields indicate which fields you cen edit in the charsheet. However these fields will also
print yellow on a color printer.
- The charcheets are optimized for DIN A4. If you use US letter make sure you select the "Fit to page"
setting in your printing window
- If you select "Pact Initiate" it shows the pact type not the power you gain
Things we like and probably won't change:
==========================================
- Adding the full powers might be a step to far to get in trouble with the WotC legal department.
We won't cross this line.
- All PHB Potions are listed in backpack. Just add the number of potions you have next to it.
Sell price is per potion. Only because they are listed it doesn't mean you have them.
- No fields for ammunition is a good thing (Do you REALLY count your shot arrows?)
- No fields for character looks, background or traits. You visualize this in your head anyway.
- Worshipping a specific god isn't recognized as a prerequisite for the Channel Divinity Feats.
This way you can use the Override field for custom gods from other settings.
- Using a "staff" (opposed to a "quarterstaff") does not add a proficiency bonus to a Melee Basic
attack power (used with Str). Use the Override field to circumvent this or pick "Quarterstaff" if you
do Melee attacks with your staff implement.
- "Charsheet page 2": "Class powers" don't list the extra Utility and Daily powers Wizards aquire.
- No "Weight" fields. Ask your DM to stop being so anal if he burdens you to keep track of something
like this.
Here is the full dynamic Excel version. It has a LOT of options. You should be able to create any kind of character based on the PHB and the MM alternate race options. It also has power, initiative and magic item cards you can fill in. You still need the PHB for the exact details of the powers and rituals though. By Matthias Schäfer & Anna Werner.
QUICK MANUAL
==========================================
The excel sheet should pretty much explain itself. Here are some points you might need to understand the mechanics:
- You need to understand the D&D 4E rules. The sheet does not explain these to you.
- You need the D&D PHB 4E to completely fill in all fields. The power descriptions do not
automatically fill in. Only the power names can be selected. The rest you need to manually
type in using your PHB.
- Every character needs a unique version of the whole excel file. Simply save the file under your
character's name. There's currently no way to import data from on older version to the current one.
- Rule of thumb: If it's a yellow field you can/need to fill in the content yourself. All yellow fields
can be manipulated by you. You will see yellow fields on the charsheets as well.
Feel free to change the content as you wish.
- If you want to override an autogenerated value use the associated OVERRIDE field
- If you do not like certain aspects or if you want to change font sizes etc. Simply "UNPROTECT"
the sheet in your excel version. You can now freely change the formats to your liking.
- The Pro sheet relies on information on charsheet 1. If you want to benefit from any misc bonuses
add them on charsheet 1 to make them appear on the pro sheet.
- The damage fields on the Pro sheet are intended to give you maximum flexibility with different
weapons. In this case we suggest to type [W] instead of damage dice. Ultimately this is up to you.

Version 1.17: RELEASED
Bug fixes:
- Magical Item Bonus does not get added twice anymore.
NOT A BUG!
==========================================
- Make sure you scroll up and down in the pop-up menus. You might miss an option you can pick!
- The bonus to saving throws (Human feat) is not listed on the char sheet. Fort, Ref, Will are NOT
saving throws anymore!
- Skill bonus for humans and eladrins is already included in the amounts of skill you can choose.
Skills you are automatically trained with are preselected as trained for you.
- Wizards DO NOT get an extra Utility power with expanded spellbook
- There ARE magic items which give bonuses to ability checks (see the Gauntlets of Ogre power for instance!)
Known issues:
==========================================
- Make sure you scroll up and down in the pop-up menus. You might miss an option you can pick!
- Only point-buy system avaiable
- Minor issues with Open Office
- The yellow fields indicate which fields you cen edit in the charsheet. However these fields will also
print yellow on a color printer.
- The charcheets are optimized for DIN A4. If you use US letter make sure you select the "Fit to page"
setting in your printing window
- If you select "Pact Initiate" it shows the pact type not the power you gain
Things we like and probably won't change:
==========================================
- Adding the full powers might be a step to far to get in trouble with the WotC legal department.
We won't cross this line.
- All PHB Potions are listed in backpack. Just add the number of potions you have next to it.
Sell price is per potion. Only because they are listed it doesn't mean you have them.
- No fields for ammunition is a good thing (Do you REALLY count your shot arrows?)
- No fields for character looks, background or traits. You visualize this in your head anyway.
- Worshipping a specific god isn't recognized as a prerequisite for the Channel Divinity Feats.
This way you can use the Override field for custom gods from other settings.
- Using a "staff" (opposed to a "quarterstaff") does not add a proficiency bonus to a Melee Basic
attack power (used with Str). Use the Override field to circumvent this or pick "Quarterstaff" if you
do Melee attacks with your staff implement.
- "Charsheet page 2": "Class powers" don't list the extra Utility and Daily powers Wizards aquire.
- No "Weight" fields. Ask your DM to stop being so anal if he burdens you to keep track of something
like this.
