[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 2826897, member: 907"] I don't know. The UCS manages to fit in 38 rows for feats and special abilities, plus five for racial abilities. It doesn't have the psionic skills, but it has eight blank skill rows (plus four knowledges and three performs). Stuff that's on the UCS: Basic character description stuff (like class, age, race, hair, etc). Ability scores (base score/modifier, temp score/modifier) HP (with die types, DR, nonlethal damage, and SR) AC (including boxes for armor, shield, Dex, Size, Natural Deflection, and two Misc) followed by Flatfooted and Touch AC. Armor/Protective items breakdown, four rows worth of type, bonus, MaxDex, Check penalty, Spell failure, speed, weight, and special properties) Saves (including boxes for up to four classes, ability score, magic, and two misc) Initiative (Total = Dex+Misc) Attack bonuses for Melee, Ranged, and Grapple, with boxes for multiple attacks, class base (up to four classes), ability, size, and three misc. 2x19 rows for feats and special abilities, plus five wider rows for racial abilities. All the PHB skills (with four rows for knowledge and three for perform), with boxes for total, ranks, stat, and two misc. Weapon/Armor proficiencies (checkboxes for Simple and Martial weapons, plus Light/Medium/Heavy armor and shields, plus three rows for specific weapons) Weapons, five rows of enhance, misc, total, 2nd through 5th attacks, damage, crit, range, type, size, and notes. Ammo, three sets of name + 20 boxes. (Second page) Equipment, three columns of 14 rows (item, location, weight) Movement (walk, hustle, run) Lifting (over head, off ground, drag/push) Encumbrance (light, medium, heavy, with the modifiers for each) Money/gems XP (total and next level) Languages (four rows) Turn undead (check modifier, times per day, and "damage") Spells (0th through 9th level, with spells known, save DC, spells per day, bonus spells) Notes, 2 columns x 38 rows, plus one column with 17 rows (below the spells, so it might be supposed to note spell stuff). So far, this sheet has provided all the space I need for any character. Maybe I just write really small, but I haven't had any problems reading the stuff on the sheet either, even when it's printed at 92% size (to fit on an A4 page rather than that oddball format Americans use). It saves some space by having a single row for each weapon, rather than the three rows plus labels used by Klaus' sheet (and the sheet in the PHB). It also doesn't have any room for animal companions, which is totally OK by me - most characters won't have any of those (only druids, rangers, paladins, and some wizards/sorcerers), and I'd rather use a special sheet for those rather than trying to squeeze it into a regular sheet. It also doesn't have any special place to put Rage, Psionics, or Domains - all of that goes onto the Feats/Special abilities section. The one thing I do wish it had is item slots, but the loss of those is quite bearable, given the copious amount of "flexible" space on the sheet. [/QUOTE]
