Message: <blockquote data-quote="drskeletor1" data-source="post: 5417412" data-attributes="member: 6667419">I picked up pretty much all D&D Essential products the other day (Heroes of the Fallen Lands, Dungeon Master Kit, Monster Vault, and some tile sets). I did once have the Core 4e Player's Handbook, and compairing it to Essentials, I like Essentials a lot more and it's much more affordable, but that's not my point. My point is, I like Essentials a lot, I mean I don't like that there aren't as many options and such, but the one major problem I have with it at the moment is it's character sheet...This may seem pretty minor compaired to other things that can be fixed, but it still just bugs me. I bought the products, came home went to D&D's website and found the character sheet for Essentials, printed it off, and now find that it isn't all that great. I do like how skills are placed under the abilities that they are attached to and I also like how most of it is set up. The biggest problem I have with it is a few things:-In the defenses section it just gives you one large box to fill in for "calculations" of that defense (such as AC or Fortitude). Instead of individual squares you fill in for each effect something has on that defense.-There is not even close to enough room on this character sheet for my Powers and Feats! These should both be completley different sections in the first place.-I don't like how there's not "Current Equipment" section, like to show what you currently have on, compaired to the original 4e character sheet how it had it for magic items.-There is no "Class Features" section, or "Features" section in general for race and class features in general, considering they got rid of daily powers I would consider that pretty essential to have on the sheet.-Finally where am I suppose to put the information of resistances and such? There's no room for that on here, unless I want to cram everything under "Character Notes". I do like how the sheet does, however, look as basic as this game now feels, however I wouldn't mind (being a person who has played 3e, 3.5e, Core 4e, and now Essentials) to have a character sheet that has a lot more room on it for stuff. If anyone has custom character sheets that have all the space and orginization I need, I would appreciate it very much ^^ Am I somewhat of a picky person...? Eh...ya, probably, that's why something as simple as the character sheet is bugging me. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /></blockquote>
