Message: <blockquote data-quote="Headbomb" data-source="post: 6682014" data-attributes="member: 6797480">Been thinking a bit about the general layout.Page 1 is mostly fine as is. Basically the current status of the character. Numbers heavy.Page 2 is a mix of character development, background, and inventory.Page 3 is a mix of combat status/info, and inventory.Page 4 is affiliations and background stuff.I bring this up because I'm making a human (variant) fighter, and I plan to more or less pick feats every time I can rather than stats improvements, which means I need 8 feats slots. Currently only 4 are supported. Then I noticed that some pages had an identity crisis, which means it's hard to remember which page the information you're looking for is on. Redesigning Page 2/3 would allow to support all the feats, and eliminate some redundancies, and give each page a clearer sense of identity/purpose. So I used the following philosophy for the redesign:Page 1 stays as is. Basically this covers the immediate status of the character, in terms of numbers.Page 2 becomes focused on the current status of the character, in terms of words (afflictions, features, racial traits and abilities, proficiencies, etc.). I wish I could fit the combat rules here, but there' just no space.Page 3 becomes focused on inventory. Combat rules are put here because there's no space on 2nd page. Combat rules could also be turned into an optional 'extra equipment/notes' or something.Page 4 stays pure role playing stuff.This mostly means modifying the 2nd/3rd page. I came up with these changesThe list of changes are as follows.New 2nd page (see mockup below)* Merged proficiencies (9 languages and 9 other proficiencies is ridiculous, 9 total is more reasonable)* Longer Class Feature (result of merged proficiencies)* Move Personality traits/ideals/flaws/bonds to 4th page where the role playing stuff is.* 8 feats, to accommodate the maximum allowed* Move equipment/coins/gems from 2nd page to 3rd page* Move status/exhaustion from 3rd page to 2nd pageNew 3nd page (see mockup below)* Get rid of useless 'character' box.* Put equipment/coins/valuables section here. Expanded, so no need for  an 'extra equipment' /'other hold section. Could be reintroduced/kept  easily though.* Gems/valuables section have amount/weight/value sub-columns.* Get rid of the 3 'attuned' items. This is covered in Magic Items section so is redundant.* Magic items sortable (switch with item above/below).* Not shown should be a 'total wealth' in GP, next to the 'total weight'. Forgot to put it there.New 4th page* Put Personality traits/ideals/flaws/bonds somewhere here. Also ideals/flaws/bonds should be plural, I think.MockupsNew Page 2<a href="http://i.imgur.com/bwcqF18.png" target="_blank">http://i.imgur.com/bwcqF18.png</a>New Page 3<a href="http://i.imgur.com/CfN6Mp6.png" target="_blank">http://i.imgur.com/CfN6Mp6.png</a>New Page 4Don't feel like it.</blockquote>
