[QUOTE="smootrk, post: 3489357, member: 28583"] I have been wanting an Excel based character sheet that can be used during play on my laptop. I have looked at several, but they are generally unwieldy, poorly laid out for game use, or toner hogs. So this has prompted me to begin construction of a spreadsheet character sheet that addresses these issues. Basically I want something about as functional as real paper, and yet prints well enough to be able to use if the laptop cannot be used at times... all the while, not burning out my supply of toner with excessive black/colors or other graphics. Attached is my work in progress spreadsheet (along with the fonts that I happened to use on the sheet - for proper viewing of what I have made so far). The main three sheets are generally developed (with only a few tweaks needing to be made). The animal and cohort sheets are not finished (cell references have not been fixed when I copied/pasted aspects together). I plan to add sheets for Spellbook/Spells/Powers etc. and a sheet to keep as a sort of log of character events/xp log/campaign notes. So, I am looking for critique of my endeavors so far, and especially if I am omitting something vital that should be added to the sheet, or any gross errors in my judgement. Just try to be kind about it. If you have not use whatsoever for something like this, please keep your comments of 'just use paper' and whatnot to yourself. mod note: I am posting this in the general forum for the additional traffic. When I have a better developed sheet, I will post in the computer oriented forum or the files sections. If you feel the need to move the thread, please wait a little to give a few folk a little time to see it first. ;) [/QUOTE]
