[QUOTE="Zaruthustran, post: 4118772, member: 1457"] Nice sheet, neceros! You asked for feedback/requests, so here goes: How about making each entry under "Powers" as tall as the diameter of a typical glass bead or d6? That way, the player can use one of these common items to mark which powers have been used in an encounter. Also, if a power has an ongoing effect, he can place the same color glass bead next to the target (creating an easy reference/reminder of the effect). This size increase has a secondary advantage of giving more room to write out the description. For "action type", I suggest you use a radio button, as you cleverly did for "At-will / Encounter / Daily". Last suggestion for powers: create a boxed section on the right-hand side for Damage (including space to write "type" of damage, if needed). All this talk of powers reminds me that it's the most-referenced bit of data on the character sheet. I'm a big fan of putting the most-referenced material all on the same page. Can you create an alternate version that puts the Powers on the first page, along with ability scores, defenses, and skills? Bonus points if you can make the PDF so you can type in power information. That way, whenever a power is added or changed, you don't have to erase or re-enter all your PHB information by hand. I figure you could move character description (height, weight, etc) and experience to a second page, and the languages section can just be absorbed by Feats & Class & Racial abilities. In fact, that F&C&R section can go on the second page as well. Another way to describe what I'm requesting: the first page should be the Powers section, with abilities, defenses, basic attack (melee & ranged, both with room for 2 entries), skills, HP & surges, and basic info (name, race, class) all on the same first page. Lastly, in 4E magic items are much more complex, sometimes as complex as a power (see the PHB lite at [url]http://www.ucalgary.ca/~amwhit/PHB_4E_Lite_v1_1.pdf)[/url]. Lastly, I suggest taking the existing footprint of the Equipment section and making it into a two-column format. [/QUOTE]
