[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7636525, member: 6779196"] So, I’m a huge fan of the Skills With Different Abilities optional rule. I love being able to just ask for ability checks, and have my players chime in with Proficiencies they have that might be appropriate. But it feels like I have to fight the character sheet to do it. Every character sheet - I’ve tried the various official options, tons of fan designs, and they all have the same problem: there’s always a little space next to the name of every skill to write in your total modifier for your Ability (Skill) check. Heck, most sheets go so far as to list the skills under the Abilities they’re usually tied to. These design features subtly discourage players from suggesting Proficiencies that aren’t associated with the Ability being rolled by default. What I would really love to see is a character sheet that does away with the big ‘ol list of all the skills, with bubbles and blank spaces and all. I’d much rather just have a decent-sized blank or lined box, with a “Proficiencies” header and a bubble for Proficiency Bonus at the top. Then players can just list the Proficiencies they [i]actually have[/i] in it. Skills, tools, languages, heck even weapons and armor. You’d think that would be an easy thing to find, but for the life of me I haven’t been able to. Now, I know I can’t be the only DM who things this would be a huge improvement to the character sheet. Does anyone know of such a sheet and where I can get it? And if not, is this the sort of thing there’s demand for? Would anyone who makes character sheets be interested in tackling this? [/QUOTE]
