Which means, other than some very basic what-goes-where (e.g. base stats top left, race-class-age-height-weight top centre, etc.), every character sheet I have is somewhat different from the others; and I either use a very minimalist premade form* I made up myself or a blank sheet of paper as a starting point.* - this only includes space for things all characters will have no matter what: every character has 6 base stats, for example; and an age, height, weight, and birthday; an armour class; hit points; mundane adventuring gear; nationality and-or language(s) spoken; and a few other things unique to our games.  Oh, and a name.  Most of them have a name. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
