Character Sheet review

[DND_Reborn]

I found a character sheet online a while ago and love the general layout/format, but it is not editable so I recreated it with a few tweaks. I would like people to look it over and let me know what things you might like to see added, removed, or generally revised.

Once I have the layout finalized, I will make a form-fillable version. The current pdf is attached.

Just to jump on two things immediately: I added disadvantage to Athletics and Acrobatics as well as Stealth for armors. We play that way. Any version I make available will not include those as they are house-rules. Also, I only have two dots for Death Saves. Three is pointless: you are either stable or dead at that point.

Suggested Add: One thing I like about the D&D Beyond character sheet that I don't often see on other sheets is Passive Wisdom (Insight).

Thanks. Consider it added.

I also designed my own character sheets, and we have different needs and preferences, but I think yours is fine!

I like that you provide enough free space for defensive features under armor.

A small addition to consider, that costs no space, is to add next to the AC box also a box for shield and/or a box for unarmoured AC, IF it happens in your games that characters are ambushed while sleeping or y have sudden fights when unprepared. But it depends on your game style, many groups are fine with assuming the PCs are up and running with donned armor and strapped shield all the time.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it. As I said, I found the original but wanted to make a few changes. We do have encounters at night when the best the fighter-types can do is grab a shield, so that isn't a bad idea, really.

Also, I feel I have too much wasted space for Current HP, but can't think of anything else to put there. Any ideas?

Version 1.01 is now available!

Here are the form-fillable and regular versions of the revised character sheet I've been doing.

If anyone uses them, please let me know if you find any issues with the forms not filling correctly. I am also interested in elements people would like added if there are any requests. I am currently working on adding simple scripts to do some of the weight calculations, etc. but my knowledge in this respect is pretty basic, so we'll see.

Thanks for helping out if you have the time and interest!
