Hey all. Perhaps I'm the first to think of this, or else I've just missed any other mention of it, but has anyone put any thought into an official Planewalker Character Sheet? Most of the other significant Campaign Settings (FR, Eberron, etc.) have a specialized thematic sheet available to suit the specifics of that setting.

Perhaps it could be done up with the razorwire background of the downloads. Have all the standard information slots in addition to Control and Planar expertise added to the skills section and places to write your faction and Home Plane, maybe even a separate section to record Belief-dependant feats. It'd be nice if there were a large space to write a character background and to draw or paste in a Character picture to reinforce the importance of the character's beliefs over the stats. I'd do it myself, but I'm really not that good with Adobe or similar programs.

So, any thoughts?

I've definately seen a few floating about, some better than others. from memory there was one 'deluxe' version which was great but had so many pictures in it that it tended to make programs crash when you tried to open it so balance is important.

Have a look around on the forums or, failing that, do a search on google, you'll probably turn up something.

We might want slots for Psycraft and Aautohypnosis from the Psionics Handbook, and Knowledge: Factions and Guilds, as well.

Azriael, I know that there are quite a few versions of character sheets online (I used an Excel based version for a few years) but what I really meant was that it would be nice if there were an official one by Planewalker, perhaps to be included with the PDFs.

Duckluck, I thought about suggesting Knowledge (Factions and Guilds), but most sheets just have 4 or 5 blanks labeled Knowledge (_________) anyway. The idea about the Psionic skills is a good idea, too.

Tis noted. Smiling It's something I can certainly work on - perhaps I'll just take the sheets I normally use in my own game... I've actually included such things as 'local planar modifiers' on mine since I've played PS long enough for it to be relevant.... Hm.

Don't expect it to happen *fast* on my end for finishing designing one myself (I've got a lot on my plate right now). But if others have some nice clean sheets to offer, let me know. There's nothing saying we can't host more than one. Eye-wink

Also, creature type and level adjustment slots could be useful, as in Planescape you're quite often not playing a humanoid and don't get all your class levels Eye-wink
