Edit: I wrote Ohilion where I meant Astromath. Also, I posted the answer to Ohilion question seconds after he posted a reply confirming he understood... So this is now a useless post :P
 


Hi!

New here.

With the advent of laptops, what do you think in create a portrait character sheet.
To use directly from display.

By the way, very good job with this character sheet.
Thanks.
 

Headbomb: Ah, as I had thought. Cool! You must have a modified crafting/magic item price system in play, too, or else the difference between building a masterwork item and a +1 item is senseless.

Interesting, interesting. My party just hit Lv5 after collecting their first magic items in our first real treasure hoard.

HFBPereira: I'm not sure what you're asking, but you can open your desired character portrait image in a good image-viewing program (I recommend Irfanview.), convert it to a pdf file, open your character sheet, click on the character portrait box, and select the new pdf image to add there.
 

Not sure how those prices throws the balance off, since I don't really know the worth of a +1 sword in 5e. But even if say, the price of a +1 weapon is 250 gp, the difference (at least in our campaign) is that you CAN buy MW weapons in your starting equipment, but can't buy magic items (at least we couldn't at our starting level). So you'd be paying a premium for availability, or, role-playing wise, for getting a master craftsmen to do a custom order, specific to your needs, with premium material. This might mean adding holy runes in the hilt of a sword, having an axe pomel in the shape of a bear, inscribing a family crest on a breastplace, something like that.

But that's something for another thread.

I use FoxIt to convert all my image files to .pdf. Once you have an image file, simply right click, "Open with...", choose FoxIt, and then save the file as .pdf. Easy Cheesy, Lemon Squeezy!

I'm guessing the rest of the responds have been focussing on the wrong subject. The rest seem to think that you are asking about the character portrait on the sheet (i.e. the image to be set as the portrait of your hero), but I have a suspicion that this post is actually talking about the lay-out of the sheet, portrait versus landscape. So am I guessing correctly that you would like to have a landscape lay-out version of the character sheet and that you swapped the words 'portrait' and 'landscape' as I do often as well, because these terms are very foreign to me (i.e. in Dutch you just say 'standing' and 'laying')?

If I am indeed guessing correctly, then I will have to disappoint you. I have no intention of making a landscape version of this sheet. Mostly because that is a lot of work (it would require moving all elements) and because it is even more work to maintain (effectively doubling the sheets I have to work on to implement features). I agree that my sheet is somewhat hard to understand because at first glance you would think it is meant to use directly from display (considering the "heal" and "reset ammo" buttons and stuff like that). However, this was never my intention. The original idea behind the form-fillableness of this sheet is that you put everything in it the way you want and then print the sheet, to be used with pencil and eraser. This is why there are so many lines on the sheet, that you can use to fill out stuff by hand. A purely digital sheet would have little use for lines other than aesthetic concerns.
