Heya guys,

we created our dynamic "Wiesbaden Charactersheet" D&D 4.0 for everyone.

Here is the full dynamic Excel version. It has a LOT of options. You should be able to create any kind of character based on the PHB and the MM alternate race options. It has two different character sheet designs, power cards (also 2 designs), initiative, table tent and magic item cards you can fill in. You still need the PHB for the exact details of the powers and rituals tough:

Current Version: 1.12
Out soon: v.1.13

Please note that even though we could we won't programm in all the powers for copyright issues. You still need the the original sources like the PHB or Dragon magazine issues to know what the powers do.

PDF version incl. Power- and Magicitem Cards:

Updates will be under the same links.

If you find any bugs or misspelled terms or words please post them in this thread or send them to the e-mail adresses provided in the ZIP file. We really appreciate it!



Thanks!

- the Power Time selection is no longer locked on the Prosheet





:area: Next Version TO BE RELEASED
New features:
Design changes:
Bug fixes:


:bmelee: NOT A BUG!
- The bonus to saving throws (Human feat) is not listed on the char sheet. Fort, Ref, Will are NOT saving throws anymore!
- Skill bonus for humans and eladrins is already included in the amounts of skill you can choose. Skills you are automatically trained with are preselected as trained for you.
- Wizards DO NOT get an extra Utility power with expanded spellbook
- Make sure you scroll up and down in the pop-up menus. You might miss an option you can pick!
- There ARE magic items which give bonuses to ability checks (see the Gauntlets of Ogre power for instance!)



:bmelee: Known issues:
- The Drop-Down menus in the landscape and power card sheets are very tiny. Yeah, we know. We hate it, too! Blame Microsoft!
- Minor issues with Open Office
- The yellow fields indicate which fields you cen edit in the charsheet. However these fields will also print yellow on a color printer.
- The charcheets are optimized for DIN A4. If you use US letter make sure you select the "Fit to page" setting in you rprinting window
- If you select "Pact Initiate" it shows the pact type not the power you gain


:bmelee: Things we like and probably won't change:
- Power and damage fields don't generate their values automatically. For this we would have to program every power. It would be possible but we won't do this to avoid legal issues.
- Adding the full powers might be a step to far to get in trouble with the WotC legal department. We won't cross this line.
- All PHB Potions are listed in backpack. Just add the number of potions you have next to it. Sell price is per potion. Only because they are listed it doesn't mean you have them. :) If you don't like the potions just delete the fields (they are editable)
- No fields for ammunition is a good thing (Do you REALLY count your shot arrows?)
- No fields for character looks, background or traits. You visualize this in your head anyway. We consider doing an extra "fluff" page in the future though.
- Worshipping a specific god isn't recognized as a prerequisite for the Channel Divinity Feats. This way you can use the Override field for custom gods from other settings.
- Using a "staff" (opposed to a "quarterstaff") does not add a proficiency bonus to a Melee Basic attack power (used with Str). Use the Override field to circumvent this or pick "Quarterstaff" if you do Melee attacks with your staff implement.
- "Charsheet page 2": "Class powers" don't list the extra Daily powers Wizards aquire.
- No "Weight" fields. Ask your DM to stop being so anal if he burdens you to keep track of something like this.

I love your work, but I have two small requests...

1) Could you add the RPGA regions and possibly there benefits too?

2) You might want to change the link from the website to point to this new thread.


Keep up the great work!!! :)

I would agree. Would it be possible to add these or a "N/A" choice if you are not playing LFR (which I will be, but when I'm not DMing, we won't).

Also, any plans to add the basics for the swordmage until next month when the Player's Guide to the Forgotten Realms comes out?

Oh yeah, I LOVE your sheet! It's the only one I use!

Well currently there are only like 3 levels of the swordmage out. Shouldn't we wait until it's fully published?

If you are not playing LFR then simply do not enter a homeregion or use the override field.

Does anyone have a list of official Faerun gods already confirmed to appear in the FRCS? I mean I *have* the full list. Just need to know what's already official. ;)

Oh yeah, another Excel question: We have some trouble with graphics (DnD logo) adjusting themselves irratically. Does anyone know how to fix them in an Excel field?

Thanks for all the hard work! This has made 4e char generation a breeze for my rpg group.

I made a Ranger character and noticed one of the ranger encounter powers was misspelled.

"Thunertusk Boar Strike"....Loses some of it's thunder :D
Cell $Encounter.E10

I have converted your worksheet to work for openoffice (at least for my ranger). Most of the changes made involve specifying FALSE in tables or changing blank table cells to have some value (zero), and mostly on the 'Race Overview' sheet. I'm not a openoffice guru, but it appears that oocalc is strict about requiring explicit conversion between text and numbers, so in a few places I needed to use VALUE(x) to get oocalc to convert strings to numbers.
I don't own excel, so I don't know if my changes would break your version. This conversion was easier than v11, maybe it gets easier with practice.

Again, thanks for the excellent work. Looking forward to the next version!

A suggestion, fairly minor, but helps with tracking XP/Money...

On the Xp/Money tab. Lable the 1st line as 'Creation', unlock the date, and change the formula in from "IF(C7="","",H6-J6)" to "IF(C6="","",H6-J6)"

Any idea when v13 will be ready? I love the sheet but have been holding off making LFR characters for Gen Con in the hopes that v13 will be ready. But we're getting close...
