[QUOTE="Syrsuro, post: 4445183, member: 58162"] Just a plug for what I would like to see in a character sheet (although based on every single character sheet made since 3.0 I feel I must be a minority): Give me a character sheet with the information I need to play and without that math behind that information. Rather than a character sheet that shows AC = 10 + armor + ability + etc + etc, a character sheet that shows my AC. Period. Rather than a character sheet that shows my initiative modifier = ability + feat, a character sheet that shows my initiative modifier. Rather than a character sheet that shows the math behind my attacks, a character sheet that shows my attacks. Rather than a character sheet that shows all of my various skill modifiers, a character sheet that shows my final skill modfier. Sure, all that math is nice to have available when you need it, but when you need it is generally [I]not [/I]at the gaming table. (And this is even more true in 4E since ability score attacks are out the window). And having that information on the character sheet makes it harder to find out what I do need to know at the table. Request: One more page - call it page 0 or page 4, which has stripped down versions of the same information you show on your page 1, but without the math behind that information (perhaps with some additional useful information added, such as equipment, if space allows). One that shows clearly what I need at the table and leaves the rest for a reference page if I need to see how I arrived at those numbers. Or maybe the desire to quickly see my character's abilities without wading through rows of (at the time) irrelevant modifiers is something I alone want. Carl [/QUOTE]
