[QUOTE="Zinovia, post: 5092136, member: 57373"] Thanks for the compliments. I've spent a lot of time putting this together. I had made a portrait frame and was really hoping to fit it in, but given the other stuff I wanted to include, it didn't work out. The sheet is still under development, so maybe I can make room later. Once I try this sheet out under field conditions (as it were), and finalize any needed changes to the design, I will be attempting to make it work with the Character Builder. The biggest problem I anticipate there is fitting the descriptions for powers and items into the small areas allotted for them. The default descriptions include a lot of info that flat out does not need to be there for normal use, such as the Level 21 effect lines on At-Wills. You don't even need the damage formula to be in the abbreviated description - instead you want a calculated version of it for ease of use. i.e. 1d10+7 rather than 1[W]+STR. When using it with the Character Builder, I may have to eliminate my conditional effects section, or leave it to be filled out by hand (or the Adobe Reader Typewriter tool). That section is something I am hoping will help people remember all their "When X happens, I can do Y" abilities, and so I would be disappointed if it couldn't be included in a Character Builder version. I'm not sure there's a way to automate it however. [/QUOTE]
