Where is that from? It has a big entry for honor which I think is only from Oriental Adventures. It also has CMS which corresponds to Comeliness which were in Unearthed Arcana and then later in OA, but which I normally saw abbreviated to COM.

Only OA? No, but it did come after OA and incorporated spaces for it. It was my absolutely favorite AD&D character sheet product. It was followed up by the butt-ugly green ones.

Ja, the orange one was the official 1E AD&D player character record sheets pack, which post-dated OA and UA and so included sections for stuff from those books. The green/cyan sheets came from the 2E pack. I always really liked both of them. I think I still have a few of each hoarded away with my AD&D stuff.

I am much more troubled by the abbreviation CHR for Charisma.

Pff. Just use the Grecian initial and you can go with single digit abbreviations!

Not the worst abbreviation I've ever seen. I think it was Stormbringer that abbreviated Willpower to "POW".

POW is Power - the ability for the character to wield (and resist) magic. It's common to the BRP games like Call of Cthulhu, Runequest, and Stormbringer. I don't believe it ever measured Willpower by that terminology.

Oh, I just assumed that's what it meant at the time. Well then, that isn't so silly at all, though it still felt weird at the time to say "I have a 17 POW!"
