[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 1763049, member: 813"] My current sheet (not card based) has two different pages. One page is a list of compiled stats without the work, lists of spells in memory, lists of equipment. The other page is the work sheet with all the bonuses named. There are a lot of boxes on that work sheet page. It is intimidating to even veteran players. I also print them on full sheets of paper designed to be folded in half so that they form a little booklet. Page one: Name, vital description, abilties scores and bonus. BAB/Saves/Init/HD/hp/etc. AC (std, flat, vs AoO, raging, vs touch). A three column weapon block (weapon name/atk/dmg eg: +3 shortspear / +9/+4 melee / 1d8+4 (20/x2) ) And on the right side, all the skills with just the modifiers. Page two is spell lists. Page three is class/race/feat abilities/descriptions. Page four is equipment (with locations, the chakra spots are provided). Page five starts with the ability score worksheet. All starting values, racial, level ups, aging, inherent and typical enhancement bonuses are listed. XPs are stored next to that. The bulk of the page is a 20 line levelup worksheet for calculating accumulated BAB, base saves, base hit points, base skill points, and feat/ability choices by level. Pages six and seven are the skills. Page six has the list of skills with final mod, ranks and a bunch of boxes for most conceivable modifiers. And short line for notes about the skills. (Synergy bonuses are usualled explained there.) Page seven has the list of skills, total ranks and a box for levels 1 - 20 so you can see where each skill point was spent. Page eight is the worksheet for Attack Bonus, saving throws, Init, full weapon descriptions/stats, etc. The half page format keeps everything you need to know right in front of you and when things change you have the worksheets to make sure you make your modifications correctly. But it still lacks certain things. The character I play has a contingency spell running. Do I always remember this? No. I'm thinking of putting a large box on the front page called the heads up box. For my character it would be the contingency for someone else it would Remember to Dodge! or Try Power Attacking! I'm rambling by now.... [/QUOTE]
