[QUOTE="HRSegovia, post: 6222455, member: 99950"] I actually encountered this sheet on my own and loved how visually stunning it was. The idea of doing the faded wording (as well as a circle stat board with info filling the corners) was something I did a LONG time ago in other games but you know what they say... "great minds." In fact, that's really what kind of attracted me to it, that someone else thought of it, too. It does, however, lend itself to some spacial problems. If those simple spacial problems were fixed, the sheet would actually be functional. The sheet functions exactly as you intend it (which most people are not getting). It is a light minimalist sheet. You don't write down all the formulae and details. Get to the point, write down the end result, and to hell with what confusion may follow later when leveling up - let's get moving, right? I like it. To hell with the documentation, full speed ahead! YES! Sure, make the character profile the focal point, and even large, but not THIS large. By shrinking it even 15%, you open up enough space for a character levels 1-10. This is only possible because you adopted the freeform box concept (a concept I love as you can see on my sheets). As it stands, there is not enough room on the right side of the sheet, particularly since you threw in the two longest lists together: Equipment and prepared spells (don't forget, level 1 clerics get cantrips and channel divinity as well).

Even if you have your own method, you may forget later or it psychologically delays picking the right one. I can think of 20 ways to fix this and will name none because I'm sure someone as artistic and clever as you can figure it out (and because someone as creative as myself will spend the next 12 hours trying to pick which 10 to present and how to thoroughly present their pros and cons). The spellbook is almost unnecessary in your case. Sure, I did almost the same thing with mine but you might be better off doing what I did and going with a fully freeform box as opposed to individual spaces. Shouldn't Throw Attack also be Ranged? In fact, this sheet may benefit from even LESS information. Almost every problem can be fixed by actually REMOVING stuff. - Shrink the circle 15% - Fix the Ability issue (pertaining to which side the stat goes) - Turn the sheet from landscape to profile and move the circle to the top center as opposed to dead center (or not, you can experiment with which way leaves you more room) - and then freeform box the whole sheet. Let me try this... be right back. [/QUOTE]
