[QUOTE="Wiseblood, post: 7525803, member: 42437"] Thanks Scary, but I don’t use discord. This is my preferred medium. I agree with you Quickleaf the character sheets out there need revision. The one you posted looks a lot like the one I have been brewing in my head. I may start a thread on character sheet philosophy where instead of custom character sheets designed by anyone we evaluate the information, it’s arrangement and it’s importance. I have also had one on one discussions with some of my players. Finding that the most experienced player likes the character sheet because of similarities to older editions. ( which is why I selected it, nostalgia) With the least experienced player I would go over and clarify the information on the sheet. There is a lot of redundancy on the sheet and I also found out that my notation actually made it harder for her understand. 6/6 to me meant two attacks at +6 each, to her it was 6 out of 6. We then worked together to make it clear. I’m optimistic about the results. I am also reading the chapters on skill use, combat and casting again. I am trying not to take anything for granted. Also the chapter titled adventuring. (IIRC) [/QUOTE]
