Re: New! Character Sheet
I like it overall but seems a little light on space for Psionic Powers/Magic Spells, but that's the only real 'complaint' I'd have; and I know it's a hard needle to thread based on what people chose to play as some will have a lot and many nothing at all.

Re: New! Character Sheet
@Daniel - totally. I added more field to the back on the sheet, but in all honesty you could have a hundred powers.
Re: New! Character Sheet
I really like the style and overall look of the character sheet. Great job!

Cool. Wouldn't work well for people who play mercs from N&S.

Nox - what would you need changed or expanded?
Re: New! Character Sheet
Probably will not use it, it may look nice. The over use of diamond position makes it hard for me to fallow it at first glance and it wastes space. It tries to have special boxes for everything resulting in some areas not having room for charters. If I was going to use a premade universal charter sheet probably still use the one from the cutting room floor.

I may debate canon and RAW, but the games I run are highly house ruled. So I am not debating for how I play but about how the system works as written.

Re: New! Character Sheet
Love the ascetic, but feel the hand to hand section is woefully inadequate. Also the file photo and graph paper sections could be replaced with more space for skills and equipment.

Re: New! Character Sheet
I really like it, I agree on the diamond thing taking up too much space at the top, maybe you could put those back to boxes instead with a cool border on one side or something. The other thing I'd like to see is 4-5 versions of this character sheet with more space allocated on the sheet for a Mage or a Psychic or cyborg's area of need. Super hero is another type.
Great work! Thanks for the contribution!

Re: New! Character Sheet
Everyone is missing that the diamonds at the top are for the number in the middle and the modifiers on the sides.
Re: New! Character Sheet
I like it. Can you make a fillable pdf?

Nope, the diamonds although may have a aesthetic quality are not very efficient set up is what people are pointing out as negative side.(not what they do but how the space is used.) The one on the second page might fallow body flow but is also not the best use of space.(it might even be redundant as it is on the first page as well)
To me for my use the set up does look nice but is not intuitive for me to fallow, the diamonds set up in itself distracts from fast scans for what I need with modifiers falling in two different directions. Looking for a stat modifier I go to the stat then look left for what it does with the diamond I have to find the stat then process which way to go down and to the left or right. There are things that I do not see how the sheet is set up to track such as gender, damage and spent vs max ISP PPE or chi.
The diamonds have allot of wasted space, standard box method would allow them to be smaller and still have the same amount of writing space. You put a horizontal line in the diamond for people to write on in a box format the box itself is the horizontal line so no wasted space for the point under the line or the edges hanging off the side.
My personal taste in charter sheets is I want them to be efficient and quick for me to use. So while your sheet does have it strengths it is not one I would use. But then you made it to your tastes not mine so that is to be expected. So although it is negative my feedback does not really matter that much if it works for you use it.
(Most if not all of your sheet can be done in 1 page, and has been http://www.palladiumbooks.com/images/Do ... -front.pdf that has 60 skills and special ability skills, can cover racial powers, supernatural powers OCC powers and even be used to list augmentation. stat modifiers are not tracked with stats but in applied to the save so for saves you just look for it charm intimidate are set apart so you can find them when relevant. To me it is a quicker sheet once set up and it tracks more stuff in less space. While yours looks nice the PB one looks terrible but it gets the job done with more efficient use of space.)

Re: New! Character Sheet
I think you put a lot of hard work into your character sheet and it looks pretty cool. I would probably stick to the same one I've been using since high school though, mostly because that's what I'm familiar with not because it's the best, although I have started using the one Blue_Lion suggested for any new players I bring in.
For people that like ones that you can fill in, I found this one during a Google search http://www.epicwords.com/attachments/8599. While I do think it works fairly well, I like how the numbers are entered automatically on the consecutive pages, there are still some things I would tweak/change if I could.
Not sure who made the sheet, like I said I found it on a random search, in no way am I trying to take any credit or trying to pass it off as mine.

Re: New! Character Sheet
@Blue_Lion - thanks for the input. Stick with what works for you.
Re: New! Character Sheet
looks good. But generaly my characters have more weapons and sets of armor. The space for those is a bit tight, but the diamonds really work for me...
