D&D 5E What character sheet do you use?

MPMB. The automation is wonderful but I found it's very useful when creating characters for new players. I'll create the character with the new player over my shoulder choosing options. After a couple of minutes (unless they need a spell sheet) they have their first character printed out and ready to go.

Leveling up couldn't be easier as well on MPMB.

On paper, I always use gridded graph paper to write out a character sheet − because it organizes space both horizontally and vertically.

The most wonderful thing I discovered in college was engineering paper.

I make my own (attached an example).

+1 for "I don't own a shirt. Just look at me."

Well, it is somewhat worse for wear; I transferred to my laptop to post and it didn't like the change in Word versions. The lines got all crooked, though I straightened them as best I could. The attachment in Word was really wonky, so I ended up turning it into a PDF to post.

Well, it was never pretty and perfect anyway, because I wasn't kidding about throwing it together. But it does show the layout I like, which mimics where everyone I knew back in Ye Olden AD&D Days used to put things on college rule paper, with AC and HP on the left under the Ability Scores.

This sheet is for a heavily houseruled 2e. To update this for easier use in 5e I need to start from scratch, figure out what to change, what to add, and mostly what not to add so it won't get cluttered.

I think this is a good character sheet because it doesn't seem too busy. That's one of the problems I have with official character sheets or many custom sheets, they put too much on it they'll often have some overly artistic boxes so that the information ends up getting lost in the sheet.
