[QUOTE="FoxWander, post: 4992920, member: 1356"] I thought of something else that didn't quite fit with my previous post so I thought I'd write it up separately. Plus this would require a complete re-work of what you have- so you might like it or you might not. You mentioned above that the final calculated number for a stat is the most important for gameplay. So why not design a sheet with just those final numbers on the front page (in the open, highlighted box style you've got) and move the row of calculation boxes somewhere else. For instance, instead of AC with boxes for 10+armor+shield+dex+..., just have tree separate boxes one for AC, Flatfooted and Touch. And put the row of calculation boxes on the back. A sheet designed in this way could potentially eliminated character sheet flipping entirely during play. Put the final, vital scores for stats and skills along with weapon info, feats and your main gear all on the front page (ie the info you need ALL the time) and leave the individual calculations for the back of the sheet, along with mundane gear and everything else. I'm not sure what the layout for such a sheet might be, but I like the idea of it. A "just the facts" sheet on the front for gaming with all the detail info on the back. It's not a sheet design I've seen before, but it's one that could be very useful at the gaming table. [/QUOTE]
