So what's the best character sheet out there?

i guess you have to have a yahoo membership.

Nope, their broken. My Yahoo membership isn't let them work either.

I've gotta agree with the Ultimate Character sheet found at necromancers.

I'm using the one Claudio Pozas has on his website, I only made some minor changes to it.

I'll finally have broadband next Wednesday so I'll be able to check out all your suggestions then, (can't download at work ).

Cheers.

Like others I feel obligated to back my own sheet. I use MSWord and have created a table/form based sheet. Very editable as long as you don't mess with the tables and cells and boarders and such. For example, for my epic characters I changed the misc section in attack and saved to EAB and ESB. I frequently change the Race, Class, Feat, Prestige Class sections depending on what I'm playing.

I've uploaded my sheet to rpgsheets.com. If you search under Dungeons and Dragons: 3rd edition with the search term "word". It's called DnD 3.5 Character Sheet.

Patrick Murphy's over at the MAd Irishmans site is the preferred sheet of my group, and the sheet over at EMA's is preferred for spell sheets.

My own favourite is Green Ronins Character Folio, lots of space and covers pretty much everything.

I liked it so much I reproduced it in Word so I could change the background and fonts used etc... and tweak it from game to game for the various house rule change we have imlemented. Reproducing a 12 page sheet in word was time consuming but worth it.

Ema's are neat -- except for that horrificially long list of feats.

I agree.

A level 21 (epic!) exalted Human Fighter, having taken Sacred Vow and Vow of Poverty has first level, will have 31 feats. (One racial-sacred vow, seven regular feats, eleven class-granted bonus, eleven VoP-granted feats, one epic). (Seven more if you count the proficiencies (simple weapons, martial weapons: all, light armor, medium armor, heavy armor, light shields, tower shield).)

That's the highest number of feats you can manage for this level. A level 21 gnome sorcerer would have just eight feats (seven regular, one epic), nine if you count Simple Weapon Proficiency -- that's nearly 30 less feats!

And most campaigns don't even reach such a lofty height. Number of feats a level 8 half-elf hexblade has? That's right, four.

Throughout his career, a character will have anywhere between 1 and 40 feats. Out of several thousand feats.

So, a big list of feats can be handy as a character planning tool or something like that, but it's a waste of space on a character sheet. Just leave enough room to write those that a character can get (40 will be more than enough in nearly every situations), and use the saved space for something else.

I've been working on one for a while, and it is the fave of two gamers in my group.

This copy of it contains a few minor layout glitches, and if you don't happen to like landscape format, then you will hate this.

However, it CERTAINLY avoids the "shove it all onto one sheet" feel. The sheet is pretty spacious with lots of room to work with.

This is a playtest edition of the sheet, I'm looking for feedback, and there is a place on the cover where your name will go if you give me any useful feedback that goes into fixing it up.

This is my kind of sheet lots of pages lots of room, covers pretty much everything... exactly the kind of sheet I like when I'm on the Player side of the screen.

The black lines in the boxes and columns could do with being a grey instead of a black as it is a little obscuring and can swallow the text a little.

This is exactly why I like my sheet. My word form based sheet has 5 tables of 8 rows each, and 2 tables of 9 rows each, all customizable for content. All these tables have headings for Race abilities, Class Abilities, Prestige Class Abilities, Templates/Misc abilities, and Feats. I could change all the headings to read, Feats, Fighter Bonus Feats, Vow of Poverty Abilites, etc etc etc. Fit everything and still have room. A sheet customizable to every character I've played, from Dwarven Cleric w/ 2 Prestige Classes to a straight Gnome Warlock.
