[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 6371005, member: 6777052"] I had a go at doing this myself but gave up. You may succeed better than me. Putting the 5e character sheet as a background image to an html page is the easy part. Getting the text fields to line up with the fields in the image is a pain because you find they are not regularly spaced and you are doing absolute pixel positions on a separate div for every darned field. You might be able to do it if you have a WSIWYG editor that allows you to drag text fields around and position them over the image, then export the resulting page as HTML. Something like MS Powerpoint, perhaps. Haven't tried. As I said, I gave up and created my own HTML character sheet style that looks nothing like the 5e ones, to use as the back end of a homebrew character generator. I then print the html as PDF out of the browser and get something like [URL="http://community.wizards.com/sites/mtgcommunity/files/D%26D%205th%20Edition%20Character%20Aromin%20Rainshield.pdf"]this[/URL]. I can tell you how to do the html if you like, though it's probably not what you want. Best of luck, anyway. [/QUOTE]
