D&D (2024) 2024 D&D character sheet, what do you think?

[Baumi]

Dont like the Skill-Attribute Groupings and that the placement of them is so uneven. But I like the sheet as a whole .. th look, the free space and that it looks simple.

 

[Cadence]

I don't think I've ever really liked an "official" D&D character sheet. Even back in 2E days I used to use character sheets from the Armory.

With it being the 50th anniversary, they ought to have a sheet that has a soft leather shoe for movement and a space for the character's will.

I still have some of those (spoilered) character sheets in the basement from back in the day...

The big thing for those who use Beyond is that it prints out an official one for you. So having it easier to find the more used stuff on will be great.

One of the least things I like in the official character sheet is the items section. Put some boxes with rows for different containers, like backpacks. Also put the strenght emcumbrace limits in the sheet. So it would be easier at the table to keep track of it.

It looks good, and will probably work well in play.

On the topic of printing out, I wish the beyond sheets had better formatted text in the class text areas and such - that can be such a pain to parse.

It would also be nice if there was an option to print out variant appearances like 1E, Basic or 2014 or 2024, but that's low priority.

Size and passive perception take up too much space.

At least inventory is now basically actions, other than spells, so that's good. I hate that inventory is where I look now to see what I can do in a round. Hate it.

I prefer actions, bonus actions, reactions have sections....

 

[FitzTheRuke]

It's fine, I guess. But really, I hate it like I hate all published character sheets!

 

[Pedantic]

It's an improvement, but there's top much focus on the attributes, instead of focusing the sheet by function. Saving throws and AC should be on their own "I'm getting attacked, what do I report?" section, class features/attacks should be grouped by action type in a separate combat page, etc.

 

[Xamnam]

I really dislike grouping them by ability. It undermines the concept that a skill is a proficiency that can give a bonus to any relevant ability check.

That is exactly why I gently push any players of mine to consider using this version instead. I really love that it gives a space to write any sort of proficiency, and doesn't bog it down with text for all of the skills that are just identical to the base modifier.

Credit where credit is due.

So true
