[QUOTE="smathis, post: 4274955, member: 56465"] [URL=http://www.mediafire.com/?bjiym1qhitx]Link to Character Sheet[/URL] This is my take on the 4e character sheet, inspired by the BECMI character sheet found in the D&D Rules Cyclopedia. When I first saw the "official" 4e character sheet, I had a few issues with it... [list] [*]The space given to powers didn't give much opportunity to be very descriptive [*]It seemed like I would never use the boxes on the back. Wasted space. [*]The design was a bit, um, busy. My eyes did not know where to look. [*]There also seemed to be no real rhyme or reason to the placement of the elements [/list] So I cribbed this sheet from the (hopefully) obvious inspiration as well as the official sheet and Neceros' excellent 4e character sheet. Overall, I was able to fit in every item (crunch-wise) that was on the official character sheet and more. Here are some of the things that came out better than anticipated: [list] [*]I was able to fit the powers, combat info and feat all on the front page. I was also able to give more space for power info, like what type of damage, any special effects and a column for page reference. [*]I was also able to put in a more detailed equipment section on the back, snipped from [URL=http://www.neceros.com/forum/index.php?automodule=downloads&showcat=1]Neceros' character sheet[/URL]. If this character sheet doesn't resonate with you, I'd highly recommend the Neceros sheets. They're very well done. [*]Instead of the boxes on the back of the 4e sheet -- many of which I'd never use -- I was able to put in some 'generic' boxes that could be used for any purpose (cantrips, followers, extra equipment, background, etc.) [*] I was able to include some blank slots for extra skills. I'd seen a lot of people coming up with ideas for new skills and using backgrounds as skills. So I thought that would be helpful. [/list] Overall, I'm happy with this character sheet and I'm pleased to share it with ya'll. Enjoy. [/QUOTE]
