Speed doesnt give a bonus to dodge.
Other then that, it looks good.

Thanks for the feedback on the sheet. I'm going to correct the Spd bonus area. Is there anything that should be in that space that relates to Spd?
Not really.

In the combat section you could put a space for a disarm strike bonus . Also, having only one spot for punch and kick damage is not sufficient for any martial arts character as they get lots of different combat moves as they progress past level 4. Other than that, it looks good.

on my character sheets I list it as...

Hand To Hand:
Attacks Per Melle:
Initative:
Strike:
Damage Bonus:
Disarm:
Parry:
Dodge:
Roll:
Pull:

Combat Moves:




Hope that helps!

[quote="guerrillasuit"]I will at least add a disarm catagory for now. I'll have to look at the combat moves to see if there will be room for such a list.

How long does that list typically get?[/quote]


That depends on the character type. Someone with Natural Combat Ability is going to use a lot more than a character with hand to hand: basic. Same for a phisical training character.

I'd say at least 5-7 lines for combat moves such as pin/incapacitate, kick, jump kick, punch, power punch etc. Sorry, I don't have any books with me to go into further detail.

One thing I just noticed that I didnt before...
No spot for the persons "power category" ie.. bionic, mutant, alien, etc.. you have occupation, but I usually see that as "the persons job".

Interesting idea. I shall have to look it over before making any recommendations, but I think it was a great effort overall. :ok:

Strike/Parry/Dodge doesnt come from PS. Comes from PP.
I printed off a few sheets of this and am using it for NPC's.

it looks to me like he did that on purpose so that he could include the two different PE bonuses on their own lines.

hehe, i hate to say it after you've done all this work, but you grouped the wrong two bonuses together. you linked the strike/parry/dodge bonus from PP to the first half of the PE bonus.

One other thing I would change...
[Just being nitpicky now :D ]
Switch "Super Abilities" and "Power Category"
Give a line next to Power Category.
Might not have to enlarge the font on either.

Constructive Criticism:

You're attribute section says:
ME____ +___% Vs. Psionics.
PE____ +___% Vs. Magic.

Those bonus to saves are a straight D20 roll, not a percentile roll, so you could drop the '%' from both lines to avoid confusing inexperienced players who may use the sheet.

Also, I noticed you didn't add a "Disarm" in the combat section. You could move "# Of Attacks" onto the same line as "Initiative" and then you'd have some space to add "Disarm"

Over all, an excellent character sheet.

My suggestion is that you add a Save Vs. Insanity notation under the save vs. psionics for ME, in keeping with the book. You should also make parentheses for people to write in equivalent MPH next to the speed attribute.

Awesome! (And I don't like character sheets) I like the font. Very cool. My only suggestion would be to maybe make a couple of different body archtypes for the charcter page.

I have to say, I do like the sheet too. I'll take a longer look at it later, but I think everyone else has gotten any of the mistakes left but I'd consider adding a PPE/ISP field on the sheet.

Could take the last "line" from Super Abilities and do"

P.P.E.:__________ I.S.P.:___________

so it would read as:

Power Category: ______________________
Super Abilities: _______________________
____________________________________
____________________________________
____________________________________
____________________________________
____________________________________
P.P.E.: ___________ I.S.P.: ____________

Youu could also do areas for spells and psionic abilities in addition to powers. You could also list any cybernetic and bionic parts, or any eugenic modifications. It might actually be benefficial to do seperate character sheets for each power category. Just a suggestion. :-D

Have you seen the HeroMachine? I find it useful for templating heroes. Maybe you could link to it from your site.

I would also recommend, in the skill section, you put a space for the increase per level.
This would facilitate leveling up.
