[QUOTE="AdmundfortGeographer, post: 5608110, member: 4682"] A couple decades ago I designed character sheets for my AD&D groups, putting the things on that we wanted, in the sizes we wanted, so we could print out as many as we needed without having to try and photocopy those color character sheets. They proved pretty popular, not least because they were free and not a gray-scaled variant of a color original. I always felt they were too crowded, or the items were too small. Needing to squint to see things or print microscopically to get things on it. So I fell upon the idea of taking a legal-sized sheet and folding it in half because a legal sheet gives far more surface area to design onto. I came up with a design that was polarizing. Both well received and dismissed. Some folk just didn't like having 4 surfaces to look through when the single letter-sized sheet had just two "flip, there you are". Others like that the sheet was smaller when all folded, and we were playing in some rather cramped basements so table space was a premium. Compared to the 4e character sheets printed by the Character Builder, I think 4 sides is nothing! ;) In any case, I spent a couple days toiling away at this attempt at getting this all in places. I didn't put any Trailblazer logos on it. The equipment page has some more space that I could fill with something, doesn't have to be equipment related. I was thinking maybe make space for other consumable magic, like wands The idea is to fold it in half, so the side with the ability scores, AC, Saves, Weapons are on the cover; equipment, spells, feats are inside; skills are on the rear. [Update version 1.3: I've gotten feedback from Wulf and Glassjaw and included some changes. I'm posting the latest (and hopefully last!) version in [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-legacy-discussion/308436-trailblazer-character-sheet-v1-3-plus-spell-list-inserts.html"]this thread[/URL] Maybe I shouldn't be concerned about uploading the same file multiple times in multiple forums, but I'm trying to keep it tidy.
