[QUOTE="Xaielao, post: 8449621, member: 7032923"] Now that a5e is out, and I've made several characters at varying levels, I feel I can offer my two cents. First, every suggestion I've seen so far is well thought out and would only improve the sheet. Probably the biggest thing that I think the sheet needs, and has only been lightly touched on above, is a rework of the features section. A big box with tiny text is a decent start, but even at level 1 you have significantly more features than in o5e, and at mid-high level, dramatically more. Scrolling through tiny text in a wide box that is poorly formatted just isn't going to work in the finalized sheet. The o5e official sheet had feature entries on the main page, You could add a new one, click a button to show/hide the main text, and click on them to show them in chat. It worked great or most classes because you got relatively few, but cumbersome for classes with lots of features (monk), or multi-classed high level characters. My recommendation is to use o5e's official sheet feature system (or something similar, like how maneuver entries work), but on the second page in the large section, formatted with two rows of them. They should be clickable to post in chat, with a button to switch between showing just the title or showing the body of text. Maneuver entries should be clickable too, and collapsible as well to only show the name, with description, action & cost displayed when you expand them. [/QUOTE]
