So what's the best character sheet out there?

[Benben]

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

I use his too. I like the landscape orientation of the sheet, it makes things feel a lot less crowded even though it's the standard amount of information.

Link to Claudio's sheet.

Really beautiful. Doesn't work for me though, since it doesn't have the psionic skills, nor any space for psionic stuff. Also, not enough room for "feats and special abilities" (if you're gonna put those in the same space, you gotta have a lot of space).

Suggestions would be: don't list each and every knowledge skill, just three or four with blank subjects. That should give room for psionic skills. Drop the Companion bit - IME, most characters don't have companions, and those who do might like more room than the sheet has space for. Use the real estate freed up by that for feats & special abilities, and use the current F&SA space for psionics (PP, powers known, and such).

i guess you have to have a yahoo membership.

I do have a Yahoo membership. Use it all the time. I get a 404 error.

I think you have to be a member of that particular Yahoo! group, not just Yahoo! itself.

I've seen a couple mentions of Mad Irishman's sheets (http://www.unc.edu/~murphy/mad_irishman/pub_dnd.html for those not in the know), and I need to pimp them as well. I've been using them for a few years, and I really like the way they break down bonuses and modifiers for pretty much everything, and leave a lot of room for additional stuff from other sources (house rules, new splat books, obscure items, etc). The best part about them is that they make keeping track of a character's history really easy, and having BAB, saves, and abilities tracked by both class and level makes things like level-drain much less of a headache to compute.

Here is what I currently use

took ages to reproduce in word but was well worth it.

I use Ema's for D&D exclusively. Her sheets rock!

For D20 Modern, however, I prefer Mad Irishmen. The sheet is entirely customizable and thus applicable for Past/Modern/and Future. Also you can choose whether it has VP or HP. The only bad thing is that you can't save your edit. You just have to do the entire sheet at once and print because it's on acrobat.

I feel I should point out it's "his sheets rock."

For spell sheets for all core classes and new base classes (from Complete Books) use the spells sheets from Ema's character sheets .

These spell sheets rock, I highly recommend them. They include all the spells from the following sources (and they are updated pretty frequently):

BED Book of Exalted Deeds
BVD Book of Vile Darkness
CV Complete Adventurer
CA Complete Arcane
CD Complete Divine
CW Complete Warrior
Dra Draconomicon
DMG Dungeon Master's Guide, 3.5E
ELHB Epic Level Handbook (as per the 3.5E SRD)
EPsi Expanded Psionics Handbook
FB Frostburn
LM Libris Mortis
MHB Miniatures Handbook
PlHB Planar Handbook
PHB Player's Handbook, 3.5E
RoD Races of Destiny
RoS Races of Stone
RoW Races of the Wild



For the actual character sheet I use a a photoshoped version of the core sheet , main side only. Along with sheets 2 and 4 from Mad Irishmans character sheet.

I'm in need of a decent character sheet for my paladin type as I'm getting fed up with the one's I've been using which whoever made 'em felt the need to try and squash as much as they could on one page.

So folks could you help me in my quest to find the perfect sheets to scribble on?

The one I use is called the "Ye Old Character Sheet". Its plain, simple, and straightforward. I forgot where I found it? Its been so long. Probably here, although I'm not sure?

Nope, that must be the problem then. To bad, I was hoping to see them.
