Homebrew Level Up: Official Character Sheet (B/W) 2021-04-25

Morrus submitted a new resource:

Level Up: Official Character Sheet (B/W) - The official character sheet for Level UP: Advanced 5th Edition.

A character sheet is your portal into the game world. As a player, it’s your primary interface, and it’s important that a character sheet be clear and useful. Here’s a look at what Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition’s character sheet looks like.

The first thing you’ll notice is that it’s four pages. Well, this is ‘advanced’ 5th Edition, and we have new stuff to include — an entire exploration pillar, and a combat maneuver system, for starters! But that’s not all, and eagle-eyed readers...

I can't seem to download it.

I can't seem to download it.

Well, lacking any other information on the issue you're experiencing, I'll start with the basics and work my way up. This might take a while.

Is your chair close enough to the desk that you can reach your keyboard?

Lemme check... <scoots forward>

Heh, but seriously, when I click on the link, it just takes goes to the Updates page, and then when I click on that link, it just reloads the page. (For the record, this is happening on both my computer and my tablet.)

While I find that honestly hilarious, I can't seem to get it either. The link just seems to loop back on itself.

When you say "the link" what are you referring to? There's an orange button on the download page saying "Download". Is that the link you mean?

Ah! Well, it's a small black button on Dark Mode that was lurking off in the corner. Obviously my Perception roll did not beat its Stealth skill.

Edit: So yes, thank you for saying it was actually a download button, because I was just clicking on the link like a doofus.

Yup, me too. It's in the same place, and not totally invisible or anything, but it's a bit less obvious in Dark Mode than in your image. That and the two of us are obviously a bit slow.

I notice you note this as (B/W) - does this means there will be a color version of the sheet, too?

Error Fixed

Fixed minor issue with one fillable field

Not sure what was changed but noticed something pretty cool in the form fillable boxes for hitdice & languages/proficiencies

 

[Faolyn]

There's still a problem with the first line in Features and Traits being a scroll and the rest of the lines being reduce-text-to-fit-to-line.

Unless that was intentional.

I think that was intentional & probably a good thing but

Treasure & treasure2 boxes on page3 are set to a fixed font size & no on scroll, allies & organizations, along with character background are the same. Page2 Languages Other Proficiencies 2/Languages Other Proficiencies 1 are both set scroll yes. Not a huge issue but could be a quality of life issue occasionally since most people don't seem to have a pdf editor available if it frustrates them or they run out of space.

I made some changes & additions to the sheet after the spellcraft downtime activity inspired me
[/spoiler]

• Attributes autocalculate their mod & have a pair of boxes to store long term modifiers (ie from equipment) as well as short term ones (ie from buff/debuff).
  
  Spoiler: like so

  
• Multiline text boxes are set to display a scrollbar when filled rather than shrink the font
  
  Spoiler: like so

  
• page4 spellsheet is relatively unchanged but has a book with a ribbon bookmarklet icon from game-icons.net next to each level of spells. Clicking it will take you to the page for details on that level of spells
  
  Spoiler: like these

  
  I considered adding checkboxes or similar to indicate if a spell is prepared or not but ultimately decided the omission is likely deliberate & easy to add later if not.
• an extra page was added for cantrips +each level of spells that provides a multiline text box to detail individual spells in. Each of these pages has a bookmarklet icon that will jump back to the spellsheet when clicked & boxes for 22 spells
  
  Spoiler: Like So

  
  22 was chosen simply because that was the number that fit. With the downtime activities giving a way to modify spells it seemed even more important to include space for details beyond the page number alone. The spell name & page number listed in the spellsheet will be mirrored on the details page. Without knowing why there was no checkbox to indicate a prepped spell it seemed like the mirroring would be more useful than not, but this could be easily changed be adjusting form field names if needed

 

[tetrasodium]

The last version was not as flexible on the spellsheet as I had hoped & with some additional javascript I managed to make the spellsheet+spellbook dance about in a way that solved a lot of frustrations I tend to run into when playing a caster long enough,

• The spell sheets described previously have a custom field that allows the user to trivially make a brief note calling out whatever is important to hihlight about each spell

Spoiler: fancy spell by spell definable fields

• Each level of spells on the spellsheet has a fancy mix of dropdown, user editable textbox, & scrolling listbox that keeps each known/prepare spell separate with a bit of protection against accidental munging
  
  Spoiler: example

  

  
  The buttons do what they say & I added some extra text for that picture describing each field
• On page1 I added a box for fatigue & strife levels beside obvious buttons.
  Spoiler: like so

  

  
  Just a quick tossed in box with the label buttons left blindingly obvious on purpose. Clicking either button will give you a popup like so but the button could easily be changed to something else when things are better known
  

  

  
  Those values are pulled from this thread & it was done mainly because it was easier to add & hide/update/delete later as needed than I it would to remember how to do it later
• I thought about adding a page with body slots but between pg1's 7 "attacks & spellcasting" slots and the 12 slots on the lower left of pg3 I didn't feel enough grasp about what might be a useful on such a thing.
